DAHD STUATON CANPAGH G State, Finally Reached by Economic Blight, More Hopeful for Democrats. BY MARK SULLIVAN. BOISE, Idaho, September 26.—Every competent judge agrees that Idaho &t this time is either Democratic or else will be very close. About the cause there is complete agreement 'and this unanimity about the cause throws pe- culiarly strong light on the whole presi- dential campaign through the country. Idaho was literally the last community in the United States to feel the depres- sion. For a year or more after bad times were general elsewhere Idahc was immune. It was only after times had begun to mend elsewhere that the worst of the depression struck this State. The climax_here came in the shape of serious bank failures only a little over a month ago. after bank failures else- where had practically ceased. There- fore, Idaho is today at once in the pit of business depression and at the peak of political discontent. The situation is like a microcosm showing the rela- tion that exists between these two con- ditions everywhere in the country. It is carried out With curiousfidelity of detail, In some counties in Idaho the princi- pal crop is sugar beets. The price of this crop is high enough to be relatively satisfactory. These counties, therefore, everybody ‘agrees. will provide a normal Republican vote to a less degree. Ris- ing prices of wool are alleviating some of the depression and by that assuag- ing some of the political discontent. ng Factor. Idaho thus provides perfect illustra- tion of the extent to which “the times” are the determined factor in the elec- tion everywhere. You can talk for hours about the campaign and neyer hear the word prohibition alluded to, nor any other issue mentioned as im- portant in the campaign. It is fully apparent that Republican _fortunes throughout the country have improved in proportion as in most parts of the country the depression has receded, and will improve in proportion as conditions continue to be better. y It is only collateral to the campaign to mention another aspect of Boise and Idaho. In the big cities of the East and elsewhere a good many folks must [ W Smiles of Victory WISCONSIN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE AND SONS. ALTER J.

They must have wondered Where there might be greater cecurity, more satisfaction in living, Boise with praciicaily every bank closed, is, one feels like saying. a better place to b2 than New York or Chicago at the height of prosperity. i Comparison of Conditions. A man who, in the great cities, lives precariously in three or four cubicles of an apartment can in Boise water his big front yard with 100 feet of hose. In every material or educational satis- faction a family in Boise with $1.500 a year is better off than one in New York or Chicago with $6,000. Some- thing of the distinciion of the town is | in tne uniqueness of its leading citizen. During the forencon Senator Borah works in an office on the fifth floor of the First National Building, to which comes a stream of telegroms and let- ters from all over the world. Occasion- ally frcm the plain, small office, in his rcle of chairman of the Fcreign Rela- tions Committee of the Senate, he has given out statements which have been heard in every capital in Eurcpe. In the afternoons he closes his office and sits on the porch of a brick house set well back from a street of shaded homes. Just now, of course, his routine is disturbed anxiety about Mrs. Borah's {llness. Borah and the town he came to as a young lawyer 41 years age, compose an engaging detail of American life DRY LEADER SEES NO SIGN OF “LIQUOR LANDSLIDE” Primaries Show There Is No Re- versal of Public Sentiment, Asserts McBride. Results in the State primary elections to date indicate no traces of the “liquor landslide” predicted by the wet forces, it was said by F. Scott McBride. gen- eral superintendent of the Anti-Saloon Ieague of America, in a statement is- sued here today. There is_conclusive proof in the pri- maries, McBride said. “that there has been no reversal of public sentiment on the liquor issue.” He expressed the opinion that the presidential election will be determined on partisan and eco- nomic issues and that the liquor issue will be confined to congressional and senatorial elections. “The Anti-Saloon League,” he said, “will continue to maintain the non- partisan _policy it has maintained through the 40 years of its existence, opposing wets and supporting drys, re- gardless of party affiliations.” Jobless Group of 40 Expects Hun- dreds to Join on Way. | GLASGOW, Scotland.
