Nampa Record We believe We are
going to l'nek an.l MT vote the Re,a,bli-
can ticket this year, nor lend il our
feeble aih ia this state and connty ra.n
paIgn. For the past several days it l,as
been question of whether il is best Il,
swallow the great iig g.,b # ''harmass,'
dishesl up at Posztilo by Guvern,r
Gooding and WouI.l-he. Senator B ,rai..
or no. The fact that these men were
mortal enemies up TO the time the gong
rang to call the stats convention to or

factional lines ON the open fio,r as,.I then
in the hour Of threat they compron,is.-s
behind closed DOORS, for personal inter

that Republicanisn has reached a low
ebb in Idaho. AMI right now the~+
men would stab each other ia the back
were it not for policy, and they are out
for policy campaign, with principi,

As to their other zIlianres we wil;

At Pocalellu, Mr.. Borah showed the
yellow streak, threw all his supporter
overheard and let Mr. Cooling name
every candidate in the category g.
much to Mr.. Gooding's credit. and 50
much to get William, the prcmiser'
name on the ticket Ia very empty honor
il Mr.. Dubois gets even two-fifths of thu
votes for senator in the next legislztur,
for senator)
Mr.. Gooding named his ticket and il
can be said without contradiction that
the men individually are the weakest
and least qualified Of any men seeking
such jobs that could be found within
the confines Of Idaho, with few excep-
tions
The same tactics were resorted TO in
the Canyon comfy nominating conven-
ton. In the first place the primariss
Of several precincts were worked up and
cut and dried before any caucus was
called. Tie big am's of the several
precincts doctnred things so that when
the county convention assembled it had
all been done by the Dan Campbell sys-
TEN and in the short lapse of 20 min
utes the slate had all t'eeh nominated
officers elected and lastly the plat.
frm u,on which they must run was
adopted.
The Record is no kicker; it can tax,
