SEND LEWIS TO THE SENATE.

For some time the News editor has
been writing letters to prominent re-
publicans and democrats throughout
Idaho, asking their opinion of Hon.
M. E. Lewis, and inquiring whether or
not they consider Mr.. Lewis capable,
honest and worthy man to represent
Latah county in the senate. We have
addressed these inquiries to state SEN
ators, men who served with Mr.. Lewis,
and the answers have been coming
back in most complimentary way.
Invariably the reply is to the effect
that Mr.. Lewis is by far the best man
Latah county could possibly select.
Both democrats and republicans en-
dorse him, saying he is a man of most
wonderful ability, and that his honesty
is above question. We asked if Mr.
Lewis, in the opinion of these men,
would, while serving his home county,
treat the other sections with fairness.
The opinion was universal that he
would, and that Mr.. Lewis was now
held in high regard by the citizens of
every section where he is known. we
hope you will return him to the SEN
ate,' was the enthusiastic reply of one
prominent resident of another county.
Mr.. Lewis served in the senate one
term, and in that short time showed
wonderful ability, and is today recog-
nized as man of wonderful executive
ability by men high in the councils of
the republican party, as well as in the
business interests of our state. Mr..
Lewis proposed some excellent meas
ures, and if he were returned to the
senate would make a record of
which every citizen of Latah county,
regardless of party, would be proud.
He is practical, has farmed on a large
scale, and today owns and operates
some 800 acres Of farm lands in Latah
county. He would, if given the op-
poriunity, make some valuable changes
in our tax laws; would insist on the
rigid fulilment of every pledge and
promise given the people; would, by
virtue of his position in the state, ex-
ert a powerful influence in the next
Legislature, and because he has the
confidence Of the republican leaders of
the state, as well as the democrats, do
for Latah county and the entire state
what no other man in Latah county
could possibly hope to accomplish.
But, Mr.. Lewis is not running after the
job. He is not dying to serve the
dear" people. He believes in let

If the people Of Latah or any other
county in Idaho really desire local op-
ton within a county all they have to
do is to elect set of county commits
sioners who will grant no saloon
licenses. The Supreme court has de-
cided that it is optional with the
county board, except in incorporated
towns; and there the people must elect
anti-saloon trustees. But it might be
well to go little further and see that
the sheriff and prosecuting attorney are
men who can be depended upon to en-
force the law.

There is just one difference between
the democratic and republican parties
in Idaho. The democratic masses, the
voters, are in no sense divided. On
election day they will line up solidly
for their ticket from Bryan clear down
to the bottom in every county in the
state. While with the republicans,
back OF their much-boasted harmony"
the rank and file are dissatisfied and
in open revolt. Thousands will vote
the democratic state ticket, and Jim
Brady will be defeated. The repubh-
can leaders point to the fact that the
democrats have two tickets in the field.
True, but one is to be Withdrawn, and
there is now a strong sentiment in
favor Of giving the winning ticket loyal
support. 1t will be either Whitwell or
Alexander against Brady, and either OF
these will beat him. Another feature
that cannot be lost sight Of is the
elimination OF Senator Dubois. He has
gracefully stepped down and out Of the
running for any office, and cannot be
classed as an office-seeker. Dubois
has given way that he might not stand
in the way Of democratic success in
Idaho this fall. He is out Of it, pos
sibly forever. Mr.. Dubois, whatever
may be said Of him, has not made
money out of politics. He has served
quarter Of century and is still poor.
But we are not now discussing Mr..
Dubois. He has eliminated himself
and can no longer be assigned as a
reason for any democrat voting for Jim
Brady.

the request Of the people. And so II
becomes a question for the citizens OF

convention that will vote for him. II
