 Governor-Elect Donaghey, while not definitely committing him. self on the subject, gave the con- mittee encouragement and suggest ed that they take the matter up with the members of the legislature direct In order to create sentiment favorable to the preservation of the capitol.
 MT. Donaghey, however, stated that he understood that the state had an offer of $I5o, GOO for the old capitol and grounds and said that the legislature might deem it best to sell them and use the proceeds in the completion of the new cap itol.

FARMERS MEETING CALLED State Agent Evans to Speak Here
 Nov. 20.
Governor-Elect Donaghey and Congressman Reid Also to Deliver
 Addresses.

On Friday, Nov 20, a big meet ing of the farmers will be held at the court house in this city, at which address will be delivered by State Agent J. A. Evans of Shreve- port, La, Governor Elect George w. Donaghey and Congressman Charles c. Reid.

The work of the past year will be reviewed and plans for continu- ing the work next year will be dis cussed.
 The work in this county under the supervision of Col. A. V. Swaty has been highly successful. Seed cotton which thirds itself is usually regarded as making a good turnout, but it is stated that the average percentage of lint in the cotton raised on the demonstra- tion farms is about 40 per cent.
 The corn is said to have turned out equally well.
 About thirty farmers i'll this county undertook the demonstra- tion work this year and it is thought that a much larger number will cultivate land under the govern ment supervision next year.

by just such organizations the that Mr.. Brady
is using to make himself the nominee of his party
for the highest office in the state.
That Mr. Brady would fail to be nominated can
ddate for governor with the nomination left to
vote of all the members of his party is conclusion
readily reached in the light of very general express
sion from members of his party that they i1lnot vote
for him if the convention confirms the plot of the ma
chine
There is in this attitude of his party demand for
the enactment of primary law and Mr. Brady is
moved by circumstances declare that he will favor
the law so often denied. He may make an open dec
laraton of favor for such law but with the knowl-
edge that other members of the machine will be able
to defeat it without exposure of duplicity on his
part
1t is not reasonable to expect party boss to 1egis
late himself out of power and that is what Mr. Brady
would do should he compel his machine to give the
people of Idaho primary election law.

Primary Election Law.

In the last issue of The Scimtar it was stated
that Mr. Brady had again pledged himself to use his
efforts governor, if elected to secure the enact
ment of direct primary law.
Mr.. Brady cannot be taken seriously this time The
public will not be disposed to accept renewa1of de-
faulted promise, remembering that only twoyears ago
the same expectation held out by the machine
over which he then presided and now presides no
attempt being made to meet that expectation
Mr.. Brady understands that his own party and the
opposing party both demand the enactment of pri-
mary election law and he also understands that he
would not be able to force himself upon his party
as candidate for governor with a primary election
law III operation.
The Troy News although republican newspaper
is not afraid to speak the sentiments of the rank
and file of its party this subject:
The republican party of Idaho would not be SO
far into the pool of political oblivion if the Brady
regulators had not failed in the last legislature to
enact direct primary law. 1t is Sure-thing remedy
to put the political boss into his coffin The Tacoma
Ledger, commenting the recent election held in
that city, under the direct primary law said at
is triumph of decency and order over disgraceful
unwholesome bossisms; of the square deal over
the Stacked deck and that must ever be the result
where the people are permitted to have free hand
III the management of their affairs"
In state in which primary law has been en-
acted has it met with the approval of the state ma
chine of the party in control In of the states,

usurpaton of the governing functions of the people

Absolutely in Control.

The alliance between the republican party machine
and the Mormon church, with the railroad corpora
tons party to the DEAL safeguards the railroad
corporations against the regulating influence of the
ballot and it is not to be wondered at that they have
taken Zion into their embrace and made political
bedfelows of the saints, the dirty and the clean
There is no corporation combination in any state
that would not welcome and nourish and cherish
hierarchy to stand between itself and the reformatory
tendencies of the people. For hierarchy has only
to command and the ballots fall in obedience to the
orders of the twenty-six.
There is presumption that the voters will dis
obey the directions of the head of the church They
will vote for whatever the corporations want them
to vote when the influence of the church is applied

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

and in Idaho the churchly influence is exercised as
often it is solicited by the corporations. 1t IS
therefore impossible for the people of this state to
apply to its corporations those regulating processes
that are applied in states free from the political in
huence of Mormonsm-mpossibe unless they rise
superior to party organization and free themselves
from the dominion of the republican MOrmon-cor-
poration machine.
Two years ago there were reasonably well founded
expectations that the legislature and the governor
would create a railroad commission would enact an
anti-pass law would compel the railroad companies
of the to pay their proportion of the taxes.
But two influences interposed-the corporation ALI
with the machine and a corporation Mormon
in the senate to whom the power of the hierarchy
was delegated.
The church therefore stood between the people
and the laws they were entitled to- When church
exercises authority and power of that character, the
newspaper the man that objects is clearly within
the rights of American citizen and is not attempt
ing to interfere with any ones religion
Through its autocratic power the voters within
its ranks the church is able say that the state shall
not have this law, it must have that law. 1t is
the church that dictates in each instance and when
the church is arraigned before the bar of public
judgment, its weak and venal apologists cry out
against interference with religion, as though it
were holy thing, this combination OF corruptg pol
iticans in the name of Jesus Christ
So the state of Idaho is certain to lag behind in
the progressive march of the times unless breaks
away from the political combination that controls
all its governmental acts through the voice of Zion
issuing from the headquarters of the hierarchy
The minority in the church is debating terms of
government to the majority of the church, because
the majority is chained to a party that enters into
corrupt deals. There anything quite so
foolish in the transactions of other stares

The democrats of Canyon county, in convention
at Payette, elected the following delegates to the
state conventions at Twin Falls and Wallace:
John L. Seawe1l, J. M. Cason f. H. McComsey,
c. w. Gieser, S. P Bane w. T. Calender, John

ters S. F. CLANCY, P. ]. Fahy
The convention also endorsed William J. Bryan
as the presidential candidate of the democracy of the
nation and favored the polygamous practices of the
Mormon people of Idaho
The Canyon county democrats glide gracefully into
their alignment with the Mormons some of whom
delegates to their convention
They declare in their resolutions that the Mormon
question is dead and prove it by referring to the
supreme court decision declaring the constitution of
the state to be self-executng. Now that the high
est court says that the democratic party is correct
in its contention that the constitution cannot be set
aside as it has been deliberately by the Mormons
and their political allies the republican machine but
that is is selfexecuting and must be enforced, the
democrats of Canyon county step promptly to the
front and declare for the democracy of the county,
that they will join with the republican machine in
seeing that it is not enforced
1t must be plain to the dullest that the constitution
will not execute itself The republicans have demon
strated, not only that they will not execute it, but
also that they will prevent its being executed by any
one else
The democratic party of the state intends in the
coming election to to it that the provisions of tine
constitution in regard to polygamy and the franchise
are lived up to. The supreme court declares these
provisions are self-execung and the democratic par
ty OF the state intends that they shall be executed
1t is to be regretted that in its demand that the
fundamental law of the state be obeyed the dem
ocracy of the state will have the opposition of the
democracy of Canyon county
The democracy of Canyon also instruct their del
egates for John c. Rice of CALDWELL for governor
and John l.. Seawell for congress-
1t they only had the sanction of the Salt Lake
and If the Mormons controlled the demo-
cracy Messrs Rice and Seawe1l might consider
themselves nominated. The Canyon democrats are
making a brave start, at any rate. They took time
also III the resolutions to instruct the democrats of
Aootenai and Latah. We fear the democrats of the
state must have some considerable time given them
o learn to accept instruction counsel"
