VIGTORY IN IDAHO
Democrats Predict Great
Landslide.
EXCTING RACE CLOSES
Senator Borah In Statement Sayn
He Supports Neither Alex
ander Jn'or Samuels.
' BOISE. Idaho, Xov. 6. (Special.)
On the eve of the election follow
ing: one of the most interesting po
litical campaigns in the history of
Idaho, the chairmen in charge of
the campaigns predicted their can
didates for governor will be elected
by pluralities ranging from 8000 to
12,000. In Boise M. Alexander, dem
ocratic candidate for governor,
closed the campaign with an address
at the Finney theater. Governor
Davis closed his campaign for the
republicans at the high school audi
torium. In an address at Nampa in reply
to the many reports and nimora as
to where he was throwing his sup
port, Senator Borah issued the fol
lowing statement:
"I went into this campaign to
present two questions in particular
reduction or taxes and the passing
of the direct primary. I have at no
time or place sought to advance the
cause of either the democratic can
didate or the progressive candidate
as against each other. If my advo
cacy of the primary has been bene
ficial to either or both it has been
because of the Issue. In other words,
at no time or place have I indorsed
or urged the election of either
Alexander or Samuels. I have' tried
to present this issue and fight It
out inside of the republican party
and before the people."
Educational Drive Conducted.
The forecast of I. H. Nash, re
publican state chairman, is ex
pressed in the following statement:
"The republicans in Idaho have
Con-ducted a careful campaign of
education. We think no campaign
has made the people of the Mate
more familiar with details of their
government and reports pouring
into headquarters indicate that the
people are not alarmed at conditions.
With moderate pluralities in the
southwest and north assured us,
even in the most conservative esti
mate we have we are confident
Moore will carry the state by 12,000.
Claiming that the year 1922 will
mark the greatest democratic land
slide ever recorded in the history of
Idaho, Will H. Hornibrook, chair
man of the democratic state central
committee, today gave out the fol
lowing statement:
"The entire democratic ticket will
be swept Into office tomorrow. It's
in the air and nothing short of a
poitica.1 miracle can prevent the
landslide which has been gaining
during the last 30 days. We have
chocked and. re-checked on every
precinct in the entire state.
Samuel Victory Predicted.
The statement from progressive
party headquarters, signed by Kay
JlcKraig and George L. West, is as
follows:
"Samuels will carry the election
by a clear majority of 8000 to 12,000
votes. The balance of the state
ticket will be elected by pluralities
of from 3000 to 5000 votes. The leg
islature will be mixed, the progres
sives carrying the majority of the
counties by wide margins. The re
publican candidates will bo wo
fully defeated from top to bottom
throughout all counties. . They will
receive not more than 20 per cent
of (the total vote cast. The demo
cratic candidates for state offices
will run far ahead of the republican
candidates, but in no instance will
they be within better than 300 of
the progressives. It's a landslide."
WARM RACEJS ENDED
(Continued Front First TagO
been created, the vote will be large,
but in 8S5 of the 1729 precincts in
Oregon there are second boards
which will start counting as soon
as the first 20 ballots have been ca--st.
If the election is very one-sided the
drift will be known shortly after the
polls close tonight, but if the con
test between Olcott and Pierce is as
strenuous as between Olcott and
Charles Hall in the primaries the
victor may not be determined be
fore tomorrow or Thursday.
School Bill Fight Heated.
The most heatedly-contested meas
ure on the state ballot is the school
bill. Half a dozen denominations
have united to defeat this measure,
which is sponsored by the A. and A.
Scottish Rite school committee and
indorsed by t lie Ku Klux Klan and
the Oregon Federation of Patriotic
Societies. Both the Klux and Fed
erated Societies have indorsed Pierce.
So far as Multnomah county is con
cerned, the belief exists that the bill
is overwhelmingly defeated, and this
belief exists among advocates of
the measure.
The three Oregon republican rep
resentatives in congress are con
sidered safe.
Throughout Oregon, in many
counties, are bitter legislative con
tests. In previous yars a repub
lican nomination for a seat in the
legislature was tantamount to a
certificate of election. This year it
is different and hotly contested el
ections for the legislature have de
veloped in several counties.
Candidates Are Repudiated,
Republican candidates for house
and senate have been repudiated by
their county republican organiza
tions. In Tillamook county, where
the republican candidate for repre
sentative has no democratic oppon
HAVE COLOR IN CHEEKS
Be Better Looking Take
Olive Tablets
If your skin is yellow com
plexion pallid tongue coated appe
tite poor you have a bad taste in
your mouth a lazy, no-good feel
ing you should take Olive Tablets.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets a
substitute for calomel were pre
pared by Dr. Edwards after 17 years
of study.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
yurely vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil. Tou will know them
by their olive color.
To have a clear, pink skin, bright
eyes, no pimples, a feeling of buoy
ancy like childhood days you must
get at the cause.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act on
the liver and bowels like calomel
yet have no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome
constipation. Take one or two
nightly and note the pleasing re
sults. Millions of boxes are sold
annually at lac and 30c. Adv.
ent, republicans are being asked to
write in the name of Andrew Gump,
so bitter is the feeling against the
nominee for the house. In Mult
nomah county most of the demo
cratic candidates for the legislature
have taken a stand against their
party candidate for governor on
the school bill.
The whole state, politically, ap
pears to be shot 'to pieces and life
long alignments have been thrown
to the winds. Previous campaigns
contain no parellel even in the
hectic days of the early '90s and
the free silver craze.
Fair Measures Uppermost
The municipal election is marked
by the enmity of the klan and fed
eration over the matter of city com
mission. Each of these organiza
tions has its own set of candidates
Nand neither wants to see the other
crowd's selections elected.
Of city measures, the tax meas
ure to raise $3,000,0C'0 in three years
for the 1927 exposition is most im
portant. Next in the public eye is
the proposal for a new bridge at
Burnside street and a bridge at Boss
island.
In the past week Portland has
been swamped with special "tick
ets," the particular indorsements of
groups. Comparison of these tick
ets shows that in the main one set
of candidates is on the orange and
yellow tickets of the federation and
klan, and candidates not on these
two tickets are on about all of the
other tickets. The line of demarka
tion is well defined.
CAMPAIGX BITTEREST YET
Fight Most Remarkable One in
Marion County's History.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.)
The bitterest campaign in the his
tory of Marion county closed here
tonight. Religion played an import
ant part in the campaign, and the
compulsory school bill was the sub
ject of many heated public debates.
Reports received at republican
central headquarters here tonight
from various sections of Marion
county indicate that Ben W. Olcott,
republican nominee for governor,
will carry the county over Walter
Pierce, democrat, by a majority of
several hundred votes. Other re
publican nominees probably will
carry the county. There is no hop
for the school bill in Marion county,
observers said.
Records In the office of the secre
tary of state show that never in
the history of the state has the In
cumbent of the governor's office
carried Marion county.

there is one monument that
dwarfs all others, making them seem
insignificant. That noblest of monu
ments is the public school in which
the children of the nation are taught
at the EXPENSE of the nation, re
ceiving the knowledge that will enable
them to build up and defend and carry
on the nation.
The public school typifies the spirit
of the United States, the Constitu
tion, laws and beliefs of, the United
States.
The public school is DEMOCRATIC
It receives and treats all alike; wealth
does not count, poverty does not hin
der. The knowledge and the books
are there for ALL.
The public school, like the Consti
tution of the United States, forbids
all discrimination because of religion.
It teaches THE FACTS that all intel
ligent human beings accept. ...
The public school recognizes only
social equality. The HEAD of the
class is for the child that studies, and
the bottom of the class for the child
that does not study. The only aristoc
racy is that of learning, of applica
tion, of good conduct.
The public school is first of all an
education IN CITIZENSHIP.
That education is almost as impor
tant as the education in writing, read
ing and arithmetic, the foundations of
knowledge, since reading and writing
open to us all the knowledge of the
book.
Fortunate the boy and girl that go
to the public school. Much to be
pitied are those deprived of that splen
did training in American life and
American thought.
The public school is the United
States in miniature. In it the little
citizens that are to be the future
voters sit side by side, all EQUAL.
The establishment of the public
school was the greatest event in all
the history of the human race. It de
clared and established the fact that

This great building; represents the PUBLIC

that is important in this nation. In comparison with it
NOTHING ELSE has importance.
The Capitol, where Congressmen sit, the great mon

the WHOLE NATION is subordinate to this noblest of
all earth's monuments THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
What the nation is, what its laws are to be, its future
usefulness in the world, ALL depend on the school in
which the children are taught.
Protect this monument, build it higher, nobler, better,
and you have provided for the future and safety of the
United States.
in a country believing all men to be
created free and equal it is necessary
that all ffhall have knowledge and
FREE KNOWLEDGE in order to
make that equality worth while.
The nation now says, The mind of
every child shall be fed at the public
expense. The State will compel the
parents to see that the children are
taught and will supply FREE teach
ing for every one that wants it.
That declaration, represented by
the public school, is the greatest step
that civilization ever took.
Politicians have grafted on the pub
lic Rchools, book concerns have grafted
public school funds, contractors have
swindled, and vicious, un-American
elements that hate the public school
because it REALLY TEACHES THE
CHILDREN have fought against it
like that English Governor of Vir

be a public school in his state "for

MONUMENT
There is only one really American
schoolroom, that is the PUBLIC
schoolroom. ' There is only one typi
cally American School, and that is
the American PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Children , FEEL equality, and they
feel inequality.
From five to ten years of age the
child's character is formed and estab
lished for all the rest of its life. The
prejudices, beliefs, inclinations, aspi
rations and national feeling acquired
at that age last until death.
The American public school puts in
the minds of children DEMOCRACY,
love of equality, belief in your fellow
man, genuine equality that comes
from mingling with all classes, and
knowing them as equals and friends
in useful mind-improving competition.
The test of the politician, the office
holder, is his attitude toward the pub
lic school. If he hesitates, if he de
parts one inch from the old idea that
the public school is the SCHOOL OF
AMERICA, and the ONLY school, if
he hesitates in his loyalty to THAT
school, he is a traitor to the spirit of
the United States, and your vote
should tell him so.
Willingness to support the public
schools through taxation is the test of
the good citizen. Every dollar spent
on the public school comes back a
hundred and a thousand fold in the
future life of the public school chil
dren. Every dollar spent in public edu
cation and public schools is a dollar
spent for insurance against trouble in
the future.
Interest yourself in the public
schools, in the teachers, in the chil
dren. AND HONOR THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC SCHOOL, cradle of the na
tion's future greatness.
