A Part of the Law.

Section of the primary elections act of the state
of Idaho, under which all primary elections held
says in part:
Only regularly qualified voters who entitled
to vote at such primary elections permitted to
vote thereat take any part therein, and it is
lawful for any person who has not affiliated at the
last general election to vote or take any part
in such primary election.
That is, any person who has not affiliated with the
political party with which he undertakes to vote at
the primary election
Section Z of the same act says:
When any person offering to vote is challenged
when any of the officers of the election shall
suspect that any person is not qualified to VOTE the
chairman shall administer to such person chal-
lenged oath to the effect that at the last general
election he affiliated with the democratic
party etc.
Thus under the statute, the qualification of
voter at a primary election is his known Cor
to- afiation with the party with which he seeks to
identify himself. If he votes for delegate dele
gates, to democratic convention, he must establish
the fact that he voted with the democratic party at
the last general election.
The supreme court of Idaho appears to have over
looked this provision of law. Perhaps, though, it
is not of Importance.

candidate for the United States senate man more
worthy of its support than Judge w. w. Woods.
Judge Woods and Doctor Whitwell typfy the plat
form upon which they stand. No matter what the
decision of the court may be, the democracy of Ida
no will adhere the principles of the party 1t gives
the committee, which is representative of the party
the greatest pleasure to voice the sentiments OF
the democracy of the state and think the true
feeling of the best citizenship of the state is in the
following resolution:
Resolved, that the thanks of the democratic state
central committee of Idaho are rendered to Hon.
Fred T. Dubois, distinguished citizen of Idaho, for
the courageous stand he has maintained for high
moral and political issue and for his unfaltering
zeal in behalf of cause that is just in the sight
of God and man.
Becoming convinced that the Mormon church. as
it is represented by the hierarchy at Salt Lake City
and through its lesser officials and members in Ida
no. had violated the solemn pledges it openly
espoused that he might be able to secure the adj
mission of the state into the union, Mr.. Dubois
arrayed himself against the efforts of the church and
its system to perpetuate polygamy and church con-
troll in politics and government in this state.
He has since with conscientious and unsefish pur,,
pose, waged the battle for the purity of the home and
compensation reward, giving his time and his
superior talents and whatever he could spare of his
worldly substance to the future of Idaho AS
committee realize that, unless the high ideals in
morals and government for which Mr. Dubois has
striven shall prevail, that the future will not
mend itself to the good citizenship of the republic,
We feel therefore, that the state is indebted to
him in a greater measure than it ever repay and
we desire to do small part a committee III
full sympathy with his efforts through this acknowl-
edgement of his nestimable services.

Senator Dubois Endorsed.

At a meeting of the anti Mormon democratic state
central committee, held in Boise on the 25th of
September the following action was taken:
The state committee of the democratic party of
Idaho is in session. in response to call by its
chairman the Hon. Timothy Regain. 1t was the ex-
pectation and hope that state ticket would have
been judcia1y Endorsed before this meeting. The
committee had intended to take vigorous and agrees
sve action for the election of ticket The court
of final resort deemng it wise to withhold the de-
csion as to whether the Mormon ticket or the
democratic ticket should be recognized as represent
ing the democracy of Idaho until Monday next, the
goth, we desire unanimously to express the sent1-
ments of the democrats of Idaho as represented
by those chosen by them to express their views.
We stand by the declarations of the party made
in its platforms of 1904 1906 and 1908 Their" Will
be no swerving by the genuine democrats - idaho.
Should the court recognize our ITCH" which, in
its platform and candidates. is pledged to the
termination Of po1ygamy and he destruction of
the control of the Mormon church in Our political
affairs, we will elect w. C. Whitwcll governor of
the state. His personality fits the platform upon
which he stands No right-thinkng citizen will
doubt him or his platform. Should the court give
us the decision, we will elect majority of the leg

What Dockery Thinks of You.

The Boise Statesman of September goth contains
the following interview:
F. ]. Dockery, prominently identified with the anti
DfJci5 faction, said last night in interview
III supreme courts decision effectually and per-
.nar-nty eliminates from the arena of Idaho's poll
the most notable political charlatan of the west
and it also rds democracy of his small coterie of
renegade republicans, who with the aid of few
democratic puppets and mountebanks, like Dubois
last two state chairmen, have been engaged in ex-
plotting and wrecking the democratic party
ITO permit any of those men to now participate
in the present campaign would be qualification pure
and simple, and distinct to democratic
success.

Van CleaVe a Briber.

A portion of the testimony given last week by
Samuel Gompers in an action for contempt of court
brought against him at the national capital adds to
the notoriety already achieved by James w. Van
Cleave president of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
Mr. Gompers stated under oath that Mr.. Van
Cleave, through an agent, during the summer of
1907, offered to guarantee him an income OF from
$4,000 to $4,000 year during the balance of his life
if he would desert the cause of labor and betray
its secrets
Mr. Van Ceave represents the capitalized oppos1-
ton of the manufacturers of the country to
ganized labor. AS representative republican, he
opposed the request made by Mr.. Gompers for the
endorsement by the Chicago convention of demands
made by organized labor for certain legislation for
the protection of labor. 1t Mr.. Van Cleave
who told Mr. Gompers to go to Denver, where he
belonged and there secure the recognition of the
democratic convention.
TIL Associated Press account of the testimony sub
mtted by Mr. Gompers in the court at Washington
says:
"Have you," Mr.; Ralston asked. 'ever been ap-
proachd by emissaries of Mr.. Van Cleave who want
ed to bride your"
eyes" replied Mr. Gompers
when and where?"
In reply Mr.. Gompers entered upon a long narra-
tive the purport of which that in the latter part
of the summer of 1907, while in New York. he had
been accosted by a who gave the name of
Brandenberg, and claimed acquaintance with him,
who told him after they had been sent by Mr. Van
Cleave to offer him money to desert the cause of
labor and betray its secrets.
Mr. Gompers said that Brandenberg had told him
that it was Mr. Van C1eave's purpose to destroy
his Gompers', character but that he, Brandenberg,
had persuaded him that it would be better to make
an ally of Gompers and that, Van Ceave consentng,
Brandenberg had proposed to him in behalf of Van
Cleave that he desert the OF labor and accept
from Brandenberg guarantee of income OF 5000
or Sc 900 year for the remainder of his life
Mr.. Gompers testified further that he had been
shadowed on several occasions by detectives en-
ployed by Mr. Van Ceave and had ascertaned that
it their purpose to procure information that
could be used to his discredt in labor circles.
Upon such showing, the president of the National
Association of Manufacturers ought to be invited to
retire from the organization he has disgraced His
methods are not the methods that commend them
selves to the right thinking manufacturers of the
country.
