DEMOCRATS CAN'T WIN.

AS the campaign opens in Idaho
the chances for democratic success are
dwindling away into thin air, and there
is no longer even ghost Of show or
the faintest hope for Mr.. Dubois and
his party. The Pocatello Tribune says;
In many cases word comes from dis
tant sections, showing where men
formerly strong in Democratic councils,
have announced that their allegiance
will hereafter be cast with the Repub-
licans, as they find themselves in com
plete disagreement with Dubois and
the Idaho Democracy. Among those
who have made such announcement
are Hon. John Haley, pioneer Demo
crat and formerly delegate to congress
from the territory; Hon. A. A. Fraser,
Democratic candidate for attorney gen
eral in 1904, and Hon. w. G. Red
wine, Of Salmon, leader of the Democ-
racy during the past II years, and {
man of the highest possible character
and attainments.

It is a significant fact that those
now doing the most vigorous kicking
about high taxes in Latah county are
among the smallest tax payers. For
instance, look up the record and see
how much taxes William Leasure is
now paying into the county treasury.
Yet he is bowling himself hoarse and
doing his best to defeat the republican
party on the ground that taxes are too
high" Mr.. Leasure began to pose as
an economist the last time about a
year ago when McConnells equal tax
league" was launched and since that is
no more he has joined the bunch that
expect to get an Office this fall by
joining forces with the democrats.
Possibly Mr.. Leasure has another batch
OF barley he is anxious to sell to Latah
county and is taking this method to af-
feet the deal. The voters who were
here when Mr.. Lepsure was county
commissioner will recall that little bar
ley deal and possibly remember that in
addition to warrant got the title
Of Barley Bill" and is known by this
title even to this day.

Let it be said once for all that the
delay in the trial OF the Steunenberg
assassinators is the result Of the delib-
crate and premeditated action of the
attorneys for the defense. Under the
law the state cannot proceed until the
appeal, taken by the defense to the u.
S. supreme court, is heard and the de-
cision rendered. And the law will not
permit bail where the offense is of this
character and were the accused mil
lionaires bail would be refused.

Here is what Thomas A. Edison
thinks OF labor unions as most of them
are being run: The labor unions
could do much to advance the work
ingman if they did not insist on pulling
good men down to the level of inferior
men. The trouble is that, as rule,
they don't employ their best men to
manage their business, as employers
do. They ignore their wisest men
and follow the biggest blowhards. I'm
der the leadership Of such men as Mr..
Arthur, the late chief Of the brother
hood OF locomotive engineers, the la
Dor unions might become a great pow
er for good"

The News defes those who charge
the republican county nominees with
being under ring-rule, bossism, or any
other power than a desire and a deter
mination, coupled with the ability, to
serve the people and to do the public
work in a manner satisfactory to the
people, to come up and make just any
kind Of decent showing that will
bear out the charge. The News offers
the record of the republican party and
since that record, or good part of it
has been made by the very same Off
cials who were renominated at the re-
publican county convention, it is fair
sample Of what they will do if again
elected.

The Spokesman-Review has another
guess coming when it says the in
dependent primaries held in Latah
county last Monday were more largely
attended than were the republican
primaries in July. AS matter of fact
the independent primaries were about
the tamest affairs that has happened in
Latah county in the last ten years, and
indicated absolutely no public interest
in the matter. The Independent move
ment in Genesee, Juliaetta, and Troy
did not mateIialize at all. The much
footed primaries were not held simply
because no one had interest enough
to attend. AS a matter Of fact Moscow
was about the only place in the entire
county were primaries were neld at all.
An of which shows how much the peo-
pie are really dissatisfied with republic
can control Of Latah county.

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ASSURE

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ASSURED.
A careful and dispassionate examine
ton Of the political situation in Idaho
as it exists today fails to reveal any
reason for Republican fear of the out
come. The sensational single-issue
campaign Of Senator Dubois is attract
ing some attention, butno votes. The
people Of Idaho know Dubois too we'll
to be influenced by his peculiar appeal.
The spectacle Of the senator astride
his hobby is too familiar; and familiarity
breeds contempt. Opposed to Senator
Dubois is a man of such sterling merit
that if there ever was a time when
party lines should be broken down and
votes cast for the worthy candidate,
that time is now.
Judge Stockslager's campaign is less
spectacular than Dubois, and proper
tionally less fruitful. The Democratic
gubernatorial nominee is placed in a
ticklish position. He processes entire
sympathy with the Dubois platform
enunciated at the Occur d'Alene con-
vention, but it is notable fact thas he
is not campaigning upon the planks in
that platform. He is content to allow
Dubois to ride the Mormon hobby and
is not even encouraging the diverting
spectacle by so much as an occasional
sick EN-" Neither is the judge
fulfilling the expectations Of his fellow
partisans by attacking the Gooding adj
ministration.

The voter who has felt the awful
ness" of the impending dangers from
the Mormon hierarchy will please vote
the democratic ticket and the rest of
the crowd will cast their ballots for the
republican nominees. How will that
sort OF an agreement suit Mr.. Dubois?
Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1906-09-28

Two years ago Senator Dubois went
about the state telling the people that
he knew Of a whole lot OF Mormons
who were practcing polygamy and
gave the name Of a lot Of them. Now,
why has not Mr.. Dubois proceeded to
punish these alleged criminals? Has
he started single suit? Has he
made single complaint? Yet two
years have elapsed since he boosted
that he had the names and the evil
dence sufficient to convict about fifty
Mormons, some of them neighbors of
the democratic senator. The truth is,
Mr.. Dubois does not care whether the
law is or is not enforced. He raised
the Mormon issue because i was his
only hope to get back into the U. S.
senate, and he will never spoil that by
going into court with it.
Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1906-09-28

Under the constitution of Idaho
every Mormon who practices polygamy
or the kindred vices is criminal and
cannot legally vote at any election.
If the democrats cannot enforce that
provision how will they proceed to en-
force another provision exactly like it2.

BusINEss AND PoLITIcs.

Mr.. Voter, if you were merchant
and had faithful, honest, competent
clerk, one that you could depend on
and one that knew the ms and outs Of
your business, and one whose work
was so we'll done that not the least bit
OF fault could be found with him, would
you discharge that clerk, or ask the
merchant to, simply because some new
man wanted the position2 Not by a
good deal. Nor is this senseless policy
followed by a single business man in
the Uuited States, nor do big firms, do
ing business of whatever nature,
whether a railroad or factor, fire"
their old employees on the theory that
a new man is better In the entire
business world no employee is dis
charged at the end of one or two years
but kept in a position for years,
even a life time. Now, the running
OF a county is simply business prop
osition and if you will, Mr.. Voter,
think this matter over you will see
that the same principles that apply to
ordinary business life apply equally
well in public affairs. If metropolitan
county candidates can be opposed on
no other ground than that they have
been in Office two or four years it is
pretty good evidence that these nomi-
nees are just the proper ones to serve
the people and are deserving yourvote.
The republican party Of Latah county
never putup a cleaner, better ticket
and that ticket ought to be elected by
an overwhelming majority.
