surely result over lnc position uuf'|'S
the coming seven months would cost
the people u lot of time and trouble
and indirect expense. There Is some
doubt about the legality OF a special
session, some lawyers holding that the
election of Il senator must take place
at a regular session of the Legislature
It has also been suggested that mas
much as Congress is likely to adjourn
In the near future, and the Legislature
will meet in regular session in Octo-
Der. the Governor might allow the
position to remain vacant. The obiec-
tion to this course which would natur-
ally be raised is that there is no valid
reason why our state should be de-
prived of representation in the upper
branch of Congress, when there are so
many men who could creditably and
we'll fiji the vacancy until the Lcgisla-
ture meets.
Governor Proctor might appoint ono
of the mon who have been known rs
candidates for the succession whenever
a vacancy should occur; but 1t is held
that this would give the appointce IN
undue advantage in an appeal to tho
representatives, of the people in CON
nection with an election in October.
Nor would the adoption of this meth
Cd of solving the problem obviate a
long and bitter struggle over tho qucs-
ton of final succession.
If special session of the Lcgisla-
ture is not called there seems to be a
growing feeling that the Governor is
likely to name for the senatorship
some citizen Of recognized ability to
serve temporarily. as was done in the
case of the succession to Senator Nor
| rill, when Governor f. G. Smith named
Judge Ross to fill the vacancy Tho
name most frequently mentioned in
| this connection is that Of former Gov
ernor John w. Stewart, though Chief
Judge John w. Rowcl Of the supreme
court. former Governor John q. Nc
| Cullough and former Congressman H.
| II. Powers have figured conspicuously
| in general discussion of the subject.
If ono Of these gentlemen or some
other citizen not n candidate for tho
| senatorship is appointed to serve tenn
| porarily, then there will Immediately
| ensue a spirited canvass over the sue
cession. 1t has been known for a con-
siderable period that when the time
city would be candidate to succeed
| Senator Proctor, and he has host Of
| supporters. Former Governor carroll
: Page has also been regarded as good
| senatorial timber, and it is recognized
that he would make a strong candi-
date. AS will be seen from the press
! comments reproduced elsewhere the
| election of Governor Proctor is also
being strongly urged as one that
| would be credit to the State, all
though he has not stated that he would
| like to go to the Senate at this time
Other names are also mentioned, but
| until the Governor makes known the
course he is to adopt, it is not neces-
sary to discuss personal qualifications.

IDAHO CONTEST AT DENVER

The facts relative to which delegation from Idaho shall
be seated at Denver should be presented without acrimony
and in a perfectly fair manner. The anh-D Dubois delegates
clam that Judge Perky was elected temporary chairman
and that he presided over a majority of the convention who
proceeded with the work in hand and adjourned after
electing delegates. They show that he received 1872 votes
according to Secretary Arney's own figures and in addition
one vote from Cassia county, which Arney counted for
Mckinley, and were also entitled to one vote, that Of d. l..
Evans, OF Oneida, whose seat was uncontested, he having
been elected a delegate by both factions. The Oneida
delegation was not called upon to vote by the secretary.
This gives Judge Perky t4 of the uncontested delegates
to 1873 votes for Mckinley. Upon such a showing the Perky
following We're not boilers in the sense that a minority
separates itself from a convention on a question of policy.
but were standing upon their rights as the alleged majority
OF the convention Quite a distinct difference.
Upon the other hand, the Dubois people claim that an
overwhelming preponderance of the delegates remained
after the Perky convention adjourned and participated in
the subsequent convention, having in no wise participated
N the one presided over by Judge Perky. These are ques-
tons OF fact for the Denver convention to ascertain and
we are very much of the opinion that the Democracy of
the nation viii agree with The Citizen that both factions
equally IN the wrong, with sufficient shadow of truth
IN their contentious for such justification as each deems
necessary.

WAR AGAINST MACHINE

This year has been chosen by the Republicans Of Ada
county to bring the management of the party back to the
rank and file. The efforts Of the machine to foist Jim
Brady upon the party as the candidate for governor and
TO dictate all nominations down to coroner has proven too
much and many Of the most active members of the party
are III open revolt. Tn addition there is the Well-known
hostility of the machine towards Senator Hepburn which
all instinctively feel, and which no one knows just how much
it is doing to undermine the senator, and this has caused
a feeling Of uneasiness and antagonism that bodies no good
to the ringsters.
The Republicans Of Ada county are overwhelmingly
against the nomination of Brady and are practically a unit
for the return Of Senator Hepburn to Washington. This
is OF the rank and file. The bosses, however, feel that it is
essential to get a Brady delegation and to refuse an endorse
n1ent to Hepburn. And the bosses always know how to
work, when to come out into the open, and when to 1ayl
under cover. This fact has been brought home to those
interested in the senior senator's welfare and in the welfare
Of the party and an early convention has been called which
will force the bosses to show their hand. The conventional
has been set for July p, and embraces a demand for the
nomination Of the county ticket at that time as we'll as for
the election of "A delegates to the state convention, who
will be instructed, if possible, to vote for the nomination of
Hepburn as the senatorial candidate of the party. the
county call stating that a senatorial candidate is to be-
named IN accordance with established precedent, although
the state call is silent upon this subject.
Thus is plainly set forth the challenge to the Borah-
Brady-Cobb machine, and exceeding rash will be the bosses
they set themselves in opposition. 1t may as we'll be
one time as another that the Republicans of
Ada county favor the return of Hepburn to the senate and
are opposed to the nomination of Brady for governor and
Cobb and Borah and sub-boss Cavanah don't realize
this mighty soon, SO much the worse for Cobb, Borah,
Cayanah and the machinel

A COLORED MANS VIEW

To THE EDITOR: In view Of the action of the late
Republican convention IN inserting a plank in their plat
form relative to the coiored man, it seems to us that they
are wholly lnsineere, for if the amendments to the constit1i-
ton granted us civil rights. why has not the Republican
party enforced them? We believe that this plank is only
only a catch-Penny trick and that every man of our race
throughout the United States should condemn it, The
methods Of the party in the past has been such that we
oeiieve we cannot consistently follow them but should turn
our attention Tor relief to the Democratic party and we
hrfnly believe that through our votes the states of New
YORK. Indiana and Illinois will return majorities for the
nominees Of the Denver convention.

JAPAN BUYING MUCH
MATERIAL FOR FIGHTING.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Passen-
gers who arrived by the KosmOs liner

news of a great Japanese activity at
the port Of Iquique, in Chile. They say
that the Japanese government is buy
ing up all the salpetre available in
Chile, and also that great stocks of
yucca, which grows in great profusion
in the Shama district, are being sent
by every steamer to Japan. A line of
fast steamers, of about 5000 tons regis
ter, have been put on between Japar.
and Iquique and, according to reports
heard at ports alon gthe coast, these
steamers are taking full cargoes of
saltretre and yucca on every trip.

ent prospects are that these with other
grains will give a larger acreage than

Conditions of the past year were
such as would be most likely to bring
a greatly increased acreage for this
year. The prices We're exceptionally
good. the yield heavier than the aver
age, and the conditions throughout the
season almost ideal. Although in sever

areas and, was comparatively light

WHEAT BUYING
TO Be RESUMED
TRADE LOOKS FOR RENEWAL OF
ACTIVITY BEFORE THE END
OF PRESENT MONTH.

While quotations are still more or
less nominal, for the reason that for
several weeks there has been little or
nothing doing in the buying line, the
local wheat market is firm at the
prices that have ruled, and it is quite
possible that in view of the present
stiff condition of the eastern and Eu-
ropean markets and the advances that
have taken place there recently quota
tons here may be pushed up cent
or two within a short time, according
to a report from Portland.
The prospect is for a renewal of ac-
tivity in the wheat markets of the
northwest this month. Trade is always
light during the holiday season ard
uncertainty as to the wheat output of
Argentia is always a factor to be
reckoned with at this time of the year.
Before the end of the month condi-
tons in the grain producing district
of the southern republic will be better
known than now and the effect of the
world better understood. Then buyers
and sellers can more readily get to-
gether and a resumption of sbuying
wherever there is grain to be sold may
be expected.
One local grain dealer today esti-
mated that about a quarter of the last
years crop in the northwest was still
| in the hands of growers and the farm
ers are still firm in their views of the
future of the wheat market. They are
convinced that prices are sure to reach
la higher than the present level and
they are determined to hold for the ex-
pected rise.
The increase in the storage rates
on wheat at the interior warehouses,
which always goes into effect the first
of the year. seems for the present at
least to have no effect on the hold
lers of the grain. The rate from the
time the grain is harvested in the fall
to the first of the year is so cents a
ton. After January l the rate is 40
cents ton a month as long as it is
held. An official of one of the milling
interests said today that the growers
and others having grain stored appear
| to be willing to go on holding the ce-
ireal, despite the storage charge in the
| hope of a better market later.
| Grain is being steadily moved from
1.-THE interior to tidewater. where large
cargo shipments are being made up,
but for the most part this is grain that
was purchased a month or more ago.
| No changes in wheat or other grain
/ quotations were announced in the 10
| cal market today.

CROP PROSPECTS
FOR THIS YEAR
ANOTHER BUMPER YIELD PRE-
DiCTED BY STATE GRAIN IN
SPEcTOR ARRASMITH.

Conditions favorable. Washington will
harvest another big wheat crop this
year. At least that is the present pros
pect from reports coming from the
eastern part of the state and from all
sections of the wheat belt.
Advices received by the state grain
inspectors office in Tacoma from In
spector J. w. Arrasmith himself, who
has travelled over a large portion OF
the wheat sections, state that the acre
age of fall wheat is fully as large as
was sown last year. Reports received
by wheat exporters from their agents
in eastern Washington give the same
account of the outlook, says the
Ledger.
1--WE have been informed that the
acreage of fall wheat is fully equal to
that of last year. said Alexander
Baiie resident partner of BalfOur,
Guthrie & Co. yesterday. "The outlook
seems to be good from the reports we
have received from the eastern part of
the state. The heavy yield and good
prices of the past season have fur
nished an incentive for the farmers to
SOW large amount of wheat"
Conditions Have Been Ideal.
According to reports received during
the past month by Deputy Inspector
S. S. King. from State Grain Inspector
Arrasmith. the conditions for sowing
during the fall have been ideal All the
fall or winter wheat was in the ground
some time ago. but farmers and ranch
men are blowing and preparing the
ground for the spring varieties.
Mr.. King says his reports show that
the acreage of winter wheat will be
fully as large as in 1907 if not an in

cites which will be sown cannot be de-
