NEWS OF GENERAL
INTEREST IN IDAHO

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN STARTS
Progressive 8trength Source of Worry
to Leaders In Coming Election.
Rotse- With n total nf 64 candi
dates In the field, representing five
different political parties, the BfftMMl
election campaign for this state open
ed last week.
The election gives promise of being
one of Intense Interest, with the proba
bility of a mixed result when the final
canvass of the vote Is made. There
Is reason to believe that there wll' ' n
new surprises ns the result of the
election this year as compared to
other elections, principally because
there are five instead of four parties
in the field ami because one of them,
tin- progressive, has taken some
strength from the two dominant ones,
the republican and democratic.
Tin' republican and democratic
state central committees have opened
their headquarters In Holse, The pro
gressive party opened headquarters at
Caldwell.
Among leaders of all parties the real
question Is as to the strength of the
progressive party. Mecause this party
cast hut approximately 2000 votes at
the recent primary election, It Is
claimed by republicans ami democrats
the Hull Mimisi rs are losing their
strength. The progressives answer
that, having no contests at the prl
mary election, their strength was not
shown and that at the coming election
they will cast a heavier vole than two
years ago.
