" I. I Young secretary of the new

says that approximately half of the
counties Of Idaho are already lined up
-With the primary standard for what
he predicts wlli be the greatest "and

' The league has opened headquarters
" in .Boise and- is" directing Senator
, Borah's speaking .campaign. The lat
ter finished his northern campaign this
week and will open his southern cam--ipaign
October 23, at Twin Falls.
In a recent address Senator .Borah-
made the following statements1:
.-- "The sole issue, over which, tie". con
troversy has afisen is this: ;" If the
people of the state manifest a desire
to haveta state-wide! primary law by
electing " a legislature "which ' passes
such a measure, will -Mr, Moore. Re
publican nominee for "governor, respect
the wishes of the- people and sign the
.bill? .

opposing the will of .the people as that
shall be. expressed through the legis

Political Editor, The Telegram
C. X. McArthur, Republican can- i
d Ida te to succeed himself in con
gress from this district, is servhui
his fourth term- f -
He entered that tody. seven.
years ago, and ever since HE HAS, '
LABORjED TIRELESSLY, FEAR- -LESSLY
AND SUCCESSFULLY, i
for the state and nation. ;"
It was in a great measure due to
Mr. McArtbur's unceasing enr
devors .that congress 'appropri
atedi 15,000,006 for new port and
harbor projects in Oregon., .'7 . . ",v
-It was -Mr. McArtBurs aggres

cured ; for" the mouth of the Co-
lumbia river a submartpe1fand:de-.

established by the-government
since the armistice of four year
; ago.' '
-i- It was due . to Mr. McArthur's '.
splendid", floor ; leadership -that the :
administration program for an ad
equate navy was victorious a few
months ago a "leadership so con
Bplcuous in rare ability, that It
. won the public commendation of
President Harding.
In addition to the foregoing
achievements for the state and na
tion. McArthur has .successfully
handled thousands of departmental
matters for. the citizens of his dis
trict among them compensation
.claim's or-? several hundred wound
ed veterans of the World .war.
f With McArthur's present com
manding position" in congress and
assurances by reason thereof that
he will be able to render even
'greater service than in 'the past,
the . Third congressional' -district
and the state of Oregon tannot
afford to supplant him with, an un
, tried man of the minority party.
More than that, "Mrs McArthur
is deserving of reelection- for serv
ices faithfully and: ably performed.
