The Democratic primaries in
Boise about reached the limit for
lack of interest. What could be
expected since the self appointed
leaders of the party have proceed
ed to read out all those who dare
to oppose the policy of Dubois,
who holds the idea that all ideals
of party rectitude must be smoth-
cred in order to construct a per-
sonal machine for his advance
ment. At the present rate of in
tegration, there will not be
enough voters supporting the So
called Democratic state ticket in
Idaho to make the showing req
uisite to secure place on the Of
fetal ballot two years hence. A
mental imbecile for chairman and
a political knave for boss makes a

Gooding Will Enforce Law.

An effort has been made to
prejudice the people in some
pasts of the state against the Hon.
Frank Gooding because he is in
the sheep business, claiming that
his election would nullify the two
mile limit law. The following
extract from all address delivered
by Mr.. Gooding in north Idaho
recently, should quiet all fears.
Regarding the two mile limit law
he said:
The only Democrat now oc-
cupying office in Idaho had de-
clared the law unconstitutional
My position as state chairman of
the Republican party in the cam
paign of two years ago, and also
the fact that | am sheep owner,
probably prevented the defeat of
Judge Ailshie to membership on
the supreme bench. Some sheep
men were making fight against
Judge Ailshie, because they felt he
was friendly to the two-mile limit
law. This fight, however, was
not made by the wool growers
association. By virtue of my po-
litical position and being a sheep
man ! induced the opposition to
desist from the fight against the
Judge. The legislative nominees
of both parties are pledged to sus-
tain this law and not vote to de-
stroy it, and it would be an in
suit to suggest to those gentlemen
that they would attempt to repeal
the measure, but if a repeating
measure is passed, | assure my
hearers that | will hastily veto it.
The two mile limit law is a fixed
policy of the state and | do not
believe the law will ever be re-
pealed." As to the depositing of
state monies, Mr.. Gooding stated
that he would use every effort to
see that every penny earned by
the states money shall 60 into
the treasury. .....

jackson as chairman of the Dem.

some odds and ends about the

read as follows: "Republicans

money, formed some combina.
tons by which they secured the
nomination of their candidate.
The Democrat was evidently in
distress for something to publish
which would cast reproach upon
the county politically, regardless
TO political affiliations. A fair
statement of the case is that
Both Blackfoot and Idaho Falls
wanted to furnish the county
treasurer, and that combinations
were made which gave it to Idaho
Falls, and which compelled the
Idaho Falls delegations to 60
against the wishes of the Black
foot men in other matters or vio-
late an agreement, and they car
ried out their compact notwith.
standing it was unpleasant for
many of them.
While the Democrat is saying
many ill-advised things it also
says the right thing at times. For
instance, it recommends that the
Democrats of this county indorse
G. W. Bergman for commits
sioner. If it had stopped there it
would have had the more credit,
but it goes on to say that it would
"be an advantage to Democracy in
this county to show that they are
for safe and sane men," Unhap-
PLY for the Democrats they did
not seize the opportunity to float
into popularity on the shoulders
of Mr.. Bergman, and everybody
knows, now that he has been ten
dered and has accepted the NOM
ination, that his election is one of
the certainties of the campaign.
The same publication in an ed
itorial says it is going to criticize
impartially and in the spirit of
fairness, and then makes the state
ment that Idaho Falls in it's greed
did not permit Blackfoot to name
even the candidates conceded to
their portion of the county. This
is only partly true. 1t is true in
the case of the county attorney,
partly true in the case Of the as
SCISSOR, false in regard to the COM
missioner, the representative, the
school superintendent and the
surveyor. In criticlzing the &C
ton of the convention, in NOM
mating the probate judge, it over
states the facts when it says the
turning down of Judge Bevans is
an act Of ingratitude that would
be hard to equal in politics.
As a matter of fact it is one of
the very common circumstances of
politics. A good man holds an
office, but his preparation for the
place was not what the people
wish it had been. Some other
man is offered whose preparation
may be no better, but he is young,
vigorous and studious, and more
is expected Of him than of the
man advanced in years. In this
instance the strong argument Of
fered by the Democrat is that the
present incumbent in office served
in the army in defense of the flag
43 years ago. The policy of Re-
publicanism today is to retire men
from service when they are in
their waning years, and pension
them rather than permit them to
work when it is an niustice to
them and to the work, and place
the burdens on younger men.
Keeping the old servant in the
tolls in mercy to the sesvant, is
onl y another one of the warped
and worn ont ideas that one may

and most up-to-date dredges. Both
are powerful ocean-going steamers and

be used Immediately on completion on

been issued from Washington that they
proceed there as soon as they could
leave the yards at Ferris Point, near

one OF them. the General Burton, was
equipped and was on her way 70 the
Lakes when she was intercepted at
Norfolk and received orders to proceed
to the Delaware river. just why this
move was made Major Sanford does not
know. Last week he was notified that
the second one. the General Gillespie.
was to be sent to him and instructions
given him to look after her equip
