HEIFFNER IS TOO FRESH.

Chairman Heiffner has called meet
for tomorrow to fix the date of the
state convention or conventions. The
suddenness of the call and the short
notice given to committeeman has led
to the suspicion that Heiffner is at
tempting to take snap Judgment on the
democrats of the state in the interest
of the railroads. At the last session of
the legislature he was apparently in
the service of George Stevenson as a
member of the railroad lobby. and his
course at that time has shaken the
confidence of many democrats in his
loyalty to the cause of the people.
For the last year Heiffner has made
his headquarters in Salt Lake as an in
surance attorney and it seems he is
holding on to his job as chairman of
the democratic state central committee
in this state merely to do a good turn
for the railroads. If this suspicion
proves correct the sooner Hel1fner is
deposed as chairman the better it will
be for the democratic party. Heiffner
is a young man of extraordinary abil-
ity who has no superior as an orator
in the state. but if he would not wreck
his ambition so far as the democratic
party is concerned. he would better
make haste to square his course with
democratic sentiment. If he wishes to
serve the predatory corporations he
should go to the party that is the es
pecial champion of trusts and monopo-
lies. The democratic party of this
state has no use for mercenaries Of
the George Stevenson brand.
The. Statesman has no desire to do
Chairman Heiffner injustice. In the
past it has expressed great admiration
for his talents, and has expected great
things of him as a champion of the
people. He is not Yet too old to mend
his ways to cease eating husks with
SteVenSon'S swine and to return as a
prodigal to the party Of the people.

ELIHU ROOT FOR GOVERNOR
New York Tribune Launches Boom for
For Former War Secretary.

WASHINGTON Feb. 10.-The New
York Tribune this morning. in a first
page article. notes a strong sentiment
in that state favoring the nomination
of Elihu Root for governor if he will
have it. This sentiment has crystal
lied since Roots eloquent address on
Roosevelt before the Union league.
The Tribune also says Root will go
as a delegate to the Chicago conven-
ton and probably make the speech
nominating Roosevelt. The delegates
at large. who will be selected by early
arch, proba bly, will be Senators De-
pew and Platt, Governor Odell and for
mer Governor Black.

RIDPATH'S SUPREME CONFT-
DENCE.

The Politician of the Spokesman
Review says:
Colonel w. NJ. Ridpath's confidence
that he will be the next governor of
this state is absolutely awe inspiring.
The colonel believes that destiny has
marked him for her own. Not a wave
breast. He says that the fight is be-
tween Governor Mcbride and himself
and that there is no doubt Of his abili-
ty to defeat Mcbride.
Self confidence is an admirable quail
ity in politics, as in anything else. over
confidence is a bad thing, and Colonel
Ridpath seems to be we'll stocked with
over confidence. If he We're not so
absolutely sure OF his own victory, his
defeat. which most people. even his
own friends. foresee, would be the less
painful and humiliating when it comes.
Colonel Ridpath is a clever politician.
where his own ambitions are not in
volved. He has been on the winning
side of the last three senatorial con-
tests in this state, and in all of them
has rendered good service to the VIM
nerS: but he is absolutely incapable of
Judging his own strength. If he We're
capable of such judgment he would
know that he cannot secure the in
dorsement of Spokane county for the
governorship. That. too. without ref
erence to the candidacy of Governor
cBride.
1t is the custom of Colonel RID
paths enemieS-and their name is le-
gion--to abuse him without stint, as
a man utterly lacking in good quail
ties In this they err. The colonel has
many good qualities one of which is
bulldog loyalty tC his friends. But
despite his good qualities. or his bad
ones, he isn't going to be governor
