HUGHES is IN THE FIGHT

NEW YORK. Jan. 3O.-GOvernor
Charles E. Hughes was strongly in
dorsed for the republican nomina-
ton for the presidency, and the ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt
was commended. in a resolution I'M
animously adopted by the republican
county committee at Murray lyceum
last night.
The resolution favored an in
structed delegation to the Chicago
convention from this state for Gov
ernor Hughes. which shall use all
honorable means to obtain his nom
ination till "he is either nominated
or withdrawn from the consideration
of the convention"
The speeches that followed the in

ment of Governor Hughes, but indi-
Gated traces of resentment over the
action of previous meetings.

the entrance of Hughes into the
lists will have upon the other candi-
dates. Among those was Senator
Plat, the aged solon of the Empire
State, who referred to Hughes as the
pig in the poke" and declared that
he would be wholly unable to land
the New York delegation.
Governor Hughes position on the
presidential nomination, like his
position on everything else, is evasiye
and vague" declared Plat. New
York state is not going to offer a
cross-examiner for president of the
United States as her 'favorite son.
Before Governor Hughes can hope to
get the New York delegation to the
Republican national convention, he
will have to submit to a thorough
cross-examination of himself as to
where he stands on the national is
sues of the campaign"
Senators Dick and Foraker Of Ohio
are jubilant at the announcement of
Hughes as a presidential candidate.
In regard to Hughes, Senator Dick
said:
The Hughes candidacy will add
excitement and interest to the race
for the Republican nomination. 1t
means that New York will send an
anti-Taft delegation to the conven-
ton. From reports | have received
from the West, Hughes is rapidly be-
coming popular in that section OF the
country and will give Taft a close
race for some of the western state
delegations.

The recent commission by certain
persons of crimes which are in vio-
lation of the state laws. has occas-
Toned considerable discussion among
various citizens as TO the necessity
of Occur d'Alene having a deputy
sheriff, who could work in conjunc-
ton with the sheriff's ONCE at Rath-
drum in the handling OF such cases.
Il has been the prevailing opinion in
the city that Occur d'Alene was with
out deputy sheriff and based upon
information from various sources an
assertion was made in a news item
In yesterdays Press to the effect
that Occur d'Alene was without a de-
putty sheriff.
Commissioner Busby. when seen
by representative OF the Press in
relation to the statement pronounced
1t an error and stated that the city
now had and for some time has had
two deputy sheriffs. One OF these
deputy sheriffs. he stated. was Hor-
ace Harrington and the other Henry
Klappenberg. Both he said had been
appointed az special deputies. and
were working without compensation
and their authority had not been re-
voked. He admitted that Happen
berg had been appointed as a depu-
ty charged with the work of looking
after the interests OF the railroad
company at the depot. and also that
Harrington had been appointed as q
special deputy at the time OF the big
rush at the land office last fall. Her
ringtOn, he stated, had recently
served papers during the absence OF
l.. Roper, the constable.
He further stated that he had
been seen by different parties with
relation to the appointment of a dep
uty and compensating him for his
services, and that the board had not
favored a paid officer and would not.
Nor. he said. would they appoint a
policeman. because I'm the opinion
of the board such an officer might
get city and county Affairs mixed
He stated that at the last election
one of the constables had failed "a
qualify. and that the board was en-
tirely willing to appoint another in
his stead provided the matter was
presented to them In a legal was
by petition. but until this was done
the board was powerless to act in
the matter.
The attention OF Sheriff Mcdonald
was recently called to the necessity
of having a deputy sheriff In Occur

appoint a deputy without the au
thority of the board. and that unit

TAFT AGAINST HUGHES
Plat Does Not Take Kindly to
Hughes Boom.

hughes BOON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Wash-
ington politicians and observers of
the trend of political events look up
on the speech to be delivered by
Governor Hughes at a reception to
be given a the Republican club, in
New York City, tomorrow night as
likely to be the most important utter
ance yet made in the battle royal
now being waged openly in the field.
the Taft boomers have redoubIed
their efforts. Taft sentiment in the
West is apparently daily gaining
strength, but in the East and the
New England states Hughes looms
as formidable figure in the eyes
of those who short time ago were
jubilantly declaring that Taft already
had the nomination in his pocket.
The announcement of Governor
Hughes proposed entrance into the
lists tomorrow night came suddenly
upon the Taft adherents and found
them unprepared to protect the in
terests of their candidate in New
York, New Jersey and New England,
where the tide has already turned
Hughesward. 1t has been generally
supposed, and taken for granted by
the Taft men, that the Governor 8
first announcement of his position on
the tariff, railroad matters and other
national issues would be made on
Washington birthday, February %,
in a speech he had promised to de-
liver in Chicago. A deliverance on
these questions nearly a month ago
in advance of that date means that
the Hughes boom will be on in full
blast weeks before its announcement
was expected.
That Taft has the best chance of
landing the presidential plum is the
general opinion of expert political
fOrecasters, but the entrance OF
Huges into the race has rendered
the task of the Taft managers doub y
difficult. 1t is feared by the secre-
tary's supporters that II he should
fail of sufficient votes to nominate
on the first few ballots, many state
delegations now placed in the Taft
column might be swung to the New
Yorker. The other presidential pos
sibilities- Fairbanks, Cannon. Knox,
Cortelyou, Shaw and La Toilette
are also jubilant at the active en-
trance of Hughes into the race, be-
living that, with Hughes and Taft
lined up in almost equal battle. any
one of the possibilities might be
agreed upon as a compromise candi-
date.
Few of the leaders in the House or
Senate will openly discuss the pres
idential situation, but a few have
offered opinions as to the effect that
