Show The Henry Clay of Idaho, Wood Hiver Times. W. H. Clagett has again proven his right to be called the Henry Clay of Idaho by his course in the Senatorial light just ended at Boise. Mr. Clagett could have been one of the senators if he had agreed to take even chances with Governor Shoup for one of the short terms. But he had determined de-termined to accept the long term or nothing, so he refused to go into the winning combination. One of Henry CUv's ulrongest holds upon the people of the United States was that, at one time, he preferred to act according to his idea of right rather than to resort to a subterfuge that would have made him prcsideut. The analogy between the Stige of Ashland and our eminent fallow oitlten is therefore complete. |
