This Democrat Is Alright

As an indication of how the Du-
bois Democrats feel, the following
interview with DR.. Woodburn, of
Boise, appears in the Spokesman
Review:
"Since the supreme court of Ida
no has decided that the Democratic
party of the state is not entitled to
have a place on the official ballot
for its ticket regularly nominated
in state convention, there is nothing
left for the regular Democrats of
the state to do but to vote for
James H. Brady and the other cam
didates on the Republican ticket"
This is the language in which
DIR. J. NJ. Woodburn, chairman of
the Democratic central committe of
Ada county, describes the political
situation in Idaho. DR.. Woodburn
is in Spokane attending the inter-
state fair and expects to remain
there the rest of the week. While
there he expects to meet number
of Democratic leaders from northern
Idaho and conferences will be held
among and between them looking
toward the formation in Idaho of a
new political party to take the
name American party from the
anti Mormon party of Utah.

The HERALD wishes to call atten-
ton to the matter of registration.
The time is very short iii which
voters may attend to this important
matter. There are only two days in
the week in which the registration
books are open. and they close on
the last Saturday in this month.
There remains only six or seven
registration days during which time
voters can avail themselves. II
you do not register you connot vote,
and the best thing to do about it is
to go and register right away.
Something might transpire that
you could not get around tc attend
to the matter if you put it off until
the last dav.

lanes H. Brady

Idaho republicans and in fact all
citizens should rally to the. sup
port of their candidate for governor
with loyal enthusiasm. James H..
Brady is the acknowledged leader
of Idaho republicans, for four
years he has worked untiringly to
build up and perfect the state Or
ganization, not along machine
lines, but rather by seeking to Sc
cure the selection of clean candi-
dates, and the keeping of platform
promises to the people. He stands
for clean men, honest methods and
sound platforms that reflect the
wishes and desires of an intelligent
voting population. Mr.. Brady is
honest, sincere and energetic in
public affairs, as in every other
walk of life, and his unanimous
nomination for the high Office was
deserved.
Idaho, more than any other state
in the Union, perhaps, desires tc
attract capital. 1t has vast natur-
al resources still up developed, and
many industries still in their in
fancy, awaiting the magic touch of
capital. Therefore. we desire a
safe and sane administration, with
practical business man at the
head of state affairs in whose hon
esty and ability investors will have
the fullest confidence Such a man
is James H. Brady, the candidate
for governor, and it is largely for
this reason that the Herald predicts
his election by a very large ma
jority. We believe the people are
satisfied that in Mr.. Brady they
have an ideal candidate who meas
sures up 20 the full standard of
Idaho's requirements.

What French Thinks About 1t

Boise, Idaho. Oct, 3.-The sue
cess of the entire Republican ticket
in Idaho was assured by Congress-
man Burton L. French, who arrived
in Boise today from Emmett where
he addressed one of the most
enthusiastic meetings ever held in
that locality.
81 am greatly pleased with the
political situation as l find it'in all
parts of the state l have cam
paigned," he declared. Unquestion-

ably it is for Taft and Sherman and
the Republican state ticket, and
while realize that political interest
Will warm up as the campaign
progresses, it is a matter of great
encouragement to me for the party
that in almost every place in which
/ have held meeting this year the
seating capacity was not sufficient
to accommodate the audiance. This
certainly speaks well for the feeling
of the people regarding Republican
policies and portends Republican
victory in Idaho.
Sin the northern part of the state
| was with Mr.. Brady, our candi-
date for governor, for several meet
ings. He is making a strong i'm
preston. He is straightforward
and effective in his statements, and
his manner appeals to the people as
that of a man who says what
he means and intends to do. His
frank declaration in favor of the
direct primary is meeting with the
highest commentator in every To-
cality | have visited, and / regard
his election, not as a problem, but
as one of the certainties of the cam
paign. The question is simply one
of majority.
"The act of State Chairman
O'Neil in coming out so convinc-
ingly in favor of direct primary at
the hands of the next legislature
has installed such confidence in the
minds of the voters of the state thai
the Republican legislative ticket
will receive tremendous support. y

The national campaign which
LACED for several weeks, is now a
hot number. 1t is plainly evident
that Bryan is on the decline and
that Taft sentiment is on the as
tendency. The situation is very
similar to 1896, when Bryan ran
the first time. Had the election
been held a month earlier, Bryan
would have given Mckinley a
hard rub, but when November roll
ed around, it resulted in a land
slide for the Republicans. The
tide has turned strongly in favor
of Taft, and it is now evident that
he will win by a heavy majority.
While we are not inclined to adj
vance the betting argument, yet il
may be noted that in Spokane there
is all kinds of Taft money at two
to one on Taft, while in New York
and other Eastern cities the odds
are even greater.

FRED L. DUBOIS in the last issue
of the Scimitar, says that Moses
Alexander will not carry more
than two counties in the state, and
the chances are that he will not
carry a single county" The Du-
bois Democrats evidently do not
consider Moses Alexander the Moses
they are looking for.

THE Republicans have the state
well-covered with speakers of
prominence. Moses Alexander, the
Democratic nominee for Governor,
is the lone campaigner for the De-
mocratic mis-fit state ticket, at the
time of this writing.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1908-10-10

DUBOIS has given up the fight and
suspended the publication Of his
paper, the Scimetar. He intimates,
however, that he will organize for
two years hence. A great many
Dubois Democrats will support the
Republican ticket Some are say
ing in half hearted way that they
will support the Democratic ticket
that was fled. known as the anti
Dubois Democratic ticket, but this
is done largely for the sake of regu-
larity, and to retain their standing
in the party. But beneath it all,
there is deep dissatisfaction with
the turn of affairs, and hundreds
of Democrats are going to show
their dissatisfaction at the polls.

fort, convenience and pleasure, and
the removal of friction as well. We
should have such law because It
would add graduSlly to the pleasure
of travel, save many heart burnings
and many difficulties to members OF
both races. The negroes should not
object. No member of any race
should seek to push himself into
company in which he Is not wanted,
and It Is one OF the disagreeable
characteristics of the negro that he
will seek to do just that thing. But
the Jim Grow proposition, although
It appeals more strongly to those
who do not look beneath the sur
face, is not half so important, be-
cause 1t involves no vital principle,
as does the DISTINGUISHING clause OF
the platform. However, IL will be
more of a vote getter for the party

candidates are going to be worried
