We demand the determination of
polygamy and unlawful cohabitation
within the state of Idaho and the
complete separation of church and
state in political affairs.

Judiciary Out of Politics.

We favor the submission of a con.
stltutional amendment to the people
providing for a separate election al
a time other than the general cleo
ton of state and county officers
when shall be elected judges of the
supreme and district courts and
county and state superintendent OF
schools, and until constitutional
amendment can be adopted it should
be the policy of the Democracy of
this state then to select candidates
for these important offices with re-
gard solely to ability. fitness, integ-
rity and moral worth, disregarding
political. affiliations and demanding
and expecting no partisan support or
surrender of political convictions on
the part of nominee.
That we pledge the party to enact
a state board of health law for the
control of contagious and infectious
diseases and for the collection of
vital statistics.

PIERCE LINE is ELECTRIC.

Has Nothing to do with any Steam
Line-WOrk Being Pushed to Com
pletiOn-Making Fine Progress. .
w. e. Pierce of the Caldwell-Boise
interurban was in Caldwell this week
and made The Tribune pleasant
visit Mr.. Pierce says that work on
the railroad is progressing very rap
idly, and that it will be rushed to
completion. The idea that the cleo
trio line is connected with any steam
railroad or that it will be used by
any company other than the Boise
lnterurban is a mistake says Mr..
Pierce. The line when completed
will cost upwards of a million dollars
and 1t is more economical to build
the road in good substantial way;
putting down heavy rails and build
ing permanent bridges than 1t is to
be continually making repairs. 1t is
true that little steam engine is be-
ing used on the construction work.
but this engine will be sold or thrown
away when the system is completed.
AS the system practically covers the
Boise valley and reaches into the
Payette valley, there will be use for
the dummy engine for couple of
years. Mr.. Pierce called our atten-
ton to the fact that his company's
franchise called for an electric, not
steam, railway.

GOLDEN GATE PROPOSITION
ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION WORK STARTS WITHIN Ten DAYS

the Business Mems association, con-
sisting of Messrs. A. X. Steunenberg,
r. A. Cowden. w. H. Roadway, r. S.
Madden and II. A. Griffith, have
made thorough canvass of the stu
alton and find that Caldwell can and
will fulfill the requirements of the
San Francisco, Idaho and Montana
Railroad company in every particular
This committee held a meeting We'd
nesday morning and it was decided
TO accept the proposition submitted
by the railroad company and proceed
at once to carry it out. The com
mittee then called on Messrs. Spring
er, Place and Foran, when the propo-
sition of $4,000 cash bonus in
lieu of the right-of-way and $4,000
in cash was suggested The commit
tee decided that this was better for
Caldwell than the original PROPOSE
accepted
The people of Caldwell should not
feel impatient because actual con
struction work on the San Francisco,
Caldwell and Butte railroad has not
been started. The preliminary work
on the surveys, getting right-or-way
and raising the cash bonus has been
pushed. by the railroad officials and
by the business mems committee
The railroad company has decided
that in view of the fact that the bust
ness men are meeting with some lit
tie trouble in getting right-of-way in
the city limits. that they will accept
cash bonus of 100000 in lieu thereof,
This will be accepted by the Caldwell
people and the money or security
raised at once. The meeting Monday
evening is for the purpose of hearing
and discussing the report made by
the business mems committee. The
railroad officials, Messrs. Foran,
Springer and Place. will present the
railroad company's proposition, and
there is no doubt that it will be ac-
cepted at once.

DUBOIS AND STOCkSLAGER
HEAD DEMOCRATIC TICKET
CONVENTION AT COfUR d. AlENE WAS STRENUOUS FROM
START TO FINISH

to the thoughtful people of Idaho
the record of the Hon. Fred r. Du-
bois in the United States senate, and
in his patriotic struggle for the veal
of his state and nation the Democrats
of Idaho pledge him their hearty sun
port. After long career in the
halls of congress during a period in
which Doodle and corruption in high
| places ran riot, he returns to his
constituents poorer man than he
was on the day he was first elected.
We most cordially and heartily
commend his course in congress in
securing for Idaho national aid for
the great Irrigation enterprises that
are now making the deserts of Idaho
the garden spots of the world.
We heartily indorse the policy of
nominating candidate for United
States senator in the State conven-
ton, policy that is proverbially and
essentially Democratic.
For Irrigation Congress.
Approaching the great advantages
that will come to our state from the
meeting of the Fourteenth National
irrigation congress to be held in
Boise September to s. inclusive,
we pledge our legislature to work
for the appropriation of $4,000 or
so much thereof as may be needed
to assist in defraying the expenses
of said congress.
We are heartily in favor of munic-
ipal ownership of public utilities.
We believe that the time has come
when there should be a revision of
the present tariff to meet the con-
ditions of the country today.
DenOunce State Administration.
We hereby denounce in unmeas-
ured terms the gross, willful extrav-
agant and corrupt manner in which
the present state administration has |
conducted the state government dur |
ing the-past two years. We condemn |
he present state administration for |
the manner in which the business of |
the state land board is conducted, |
and especially it's action in uniustly |
the homestead claims of |
the settlers who have in utmost good |
faith expended their time and invest
ed their money in securing homes |
for themselves and their families up-
IN the public domain within the state
of Idaho.
We are heartily in favor of the
enactment of an employers liability
law, and we hereby pledge our rep
resentatves in the legislature to en-
act such a law
Eight-HOur Law.
We favor the enactment of an
law applicable to all men
