Here is a list of 87 more ranchers who will have
ranches this year than last. This list, with the

money? Ask Editor Carpenter and the Republican County Central Committee to explain.

LOOKING BACKWARDS
LOOKING BACKWARDS
When Idaho was admitted to
statehood in 1890 it was considered
an absolutely sore republican state.
Idaho cast its first electoral vote
in 1892, the populiste and demo
crats fusing and giving its
electorial votes to Weaver, his
plurality being 1921.
In 1896, when Bryan was run
ning for the first time, on the
silver issue, the electoral vote of
the state was cast for Bryan by a
vote of 23,646 to 6,324 for Mc
Kinley.
In the next four years, owing to
the great increase in the world's
new output of gold from Alaska
and the African Rand, aided
materially by the Spanish war,

Largest Because Best
there were great changes in politi
cal conditions in Idaho, and in the
election of 1900 Bryan carried the
state by a plurality of only 2500,
the silver republicans having
generally sworn allegiance to the
gold standard which they bad
fought so bitterly four short years
before
In 1904 Roosevelt carried the
state against Parker by a vote of
47,783 to 18,440, or a plurality
of nearly 30,000. Thus it will be
seen that in 1896 there was in
Idaho a democratic majority oi
16,868. In 1904 the republican
majority was 29,343.
Judging by the vote of four
years ago, Idaho was the strongest
republican state in the union,
population and vote being con
sidered, but you can't some
times tell, for four years ago
Roosevelt received thousands of
democratic votes in this state,
even rock-ribbed Idaho county
giving the republican electors a
majority of 1300 over the Parker
electors.
In 1896 the three present candi
dates on the republican ticket for
presidential electors, Edgar Wil
son, John Lamb and A. A. Crane,
were all ardently supporting
Bryan and silver coinage. Edgar
Wilson was then elected to con
gress on the united silver ticket.
The present gold-bug senator, W.
E. Borah, and in fact every re
publican of prominence in Idaho,
were all silver men and stood pat
in the demand for the restoration
of the white metal to its con
stitutional functions as a standard
money of redemption. The wonder
ful increase of gold production,
now being one million, four hun
dred thousand dollars a day, has
temporarily side-tracked the de

President Roosevelt has made an

aid he has received has come from
democrats. It is true that Rooee

fanatical republican. In 1900
he declared at Minneapolas that
"Democrats are cowards at home

lamentable color-blindness in the
twilight zone which marks the
boundaries between public duty
and partisan advantage. And
Roosevelt has been so many times
mistaken in his estimation of
public men that bis opinion is not
now entitled to respectful consider
ation. Like Senator Hey burn of
our own state, Taft has no sympa
thy with the bulk of our common
humanity. His habits, moods of
thought, education, association and
environment have always been
with the exclusive few. His record
as an office-holder proves that the
tendency of his mind is to exalt
property above humanity.
Four years ago Idaho demo
crats generally voted for Roosevelt
because he was a reformer. It is
now up to the republicans this
year to return the compliment and
vote for Bryan, the man of the
people.

are showing the real intentions of

that have been made to primary

SPEAKER CANNON VERY
MAD
For some reason which has not
been made plain the Republican
National Committee sent speaker
Cannon out to Topeka, Kansas,
the other day to talk politics to
the people of that city and state,
so far as they desired to hear the
second most important public
official of the nation.
The Pittsburg (Kansas) Demo
crat contains nearly three columns
af the account of Cannon's visit,
and among other things contains
the following quoted statement
from Cannon himself:
"I don't know why the National
committee took me away from
my pieceful home," said Speaker
Cannou just prior to his speech in
the auditorium in Topeka last
week, "and seut ms to Kansas,
where all hell couldn't keep 'em
from voting for Bryan. It the
committee had sent for me to New
York or Ohio, where I might of
done some good, there would
have been some sense in the move.
I've got all the troubles that I
need at home anyway, and I feel
that I am being made a moving
picture for Roosevelt's show."
This is the way that Speaker Can
non expressed himself to a party of
friends in front of the National
Hotel a few minutes before he was
takeu to the auditorium to fire the
opening gun of the republican
campaign in Kansas a week ago.

Speaker Cannon's talk in the face
of the fact that he is one of the
most prominent republicans in the
country today.
It Speaker Cannon really gare
expression to any such sentiment
he must have been terribly riled
op, for it is only when in high
temper that Speaker Cannon spits
out just what he thinks about
everybody and everything.
The reports have been very uni

Should the Dakotas, Nebrasks,
Kansas ,Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Louisiana go for Bryan, it would
cut the Nation in the middle from
the boundary line on the north, to
the golf of Mexico on the south,
and there are thousands of people
in the central west who believe
that this will take place.
A MONTH FOR CAMPAIGN
About one month remains be

campaign is well under way, with
popular interest naturally center

than it was four years ago.
Bryan has fairly run away from
his opponent in his personal work.
He has visited many parts of the
country, and everywhere be has
been greeted as a popular idol, his
speeches have attracted far more
attention than those made by Taft,
because Bryan has met the moves
of the opposition at every turn and
thrown back their assaults with re
doubled force.
Roosevelt has done more cam
paigning than Taft, attacklug and
denouncing and making charges
with a fury that has brought him
into ridicule and obscured the real
candidate for the presidency.
Admittedly the tour of Taft
through the west has been a suc
cess. The republican candidate
lacks personal ability as a cam
paigner, and his straddling of
issues has met with dissaproval.
Judging by his utterances it is
not plain now just where the re
publican candidate stand on most
of the vital issues of the campaign.
He says the tariff should be
vised," but declares that not
many schedules should be reduced.
His attitude on the trusts is not
at all clear.
He is direct in denying the right
of trial by jury in direct contempt.
Practioally all of Taft's thunder
has been in the form of echoes
from the White House.
Certainly, if public sentiment is
a criterion, Bryan has a great
lead in the race up to date.
