BRYAN IN HooslER CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb 17.-At a
banquet in his honor at the Claypool
Hotel tonight William j. Bryan made
the first speech he has delivered in
Indiana in some time. While no doubt
has been felt regarding the favorable
attitude of Indiana Democrats towards
Mr.. Bryan's presidential aspirations,
his followers thought that a personal
visit from the Nebraska leader would
do no harm, especially as the State
convention to elect delegates to
Denver is but little over a month dis
tant.

There is good reason TO believe
that the last message of President

that has split his party into two fac

either is to the Democrats. 1t has sol

position to beat Taft. At present it
looks like the opposition will

too early yet to hazard an opinion
for there is no telling where the light
ming will strike when the whole
atmosphere is surcharged with cleo
tricity. Meanwhile there are many
who predict that. failing to secure the
nomination of Taft, Roosevelt himself
will consent to run rather than allow
the other faction to win.

The foregoing is a special dispatch
to the Boise Statesman and clearly
shows the unfairness of that paper.
The Statesman endeavors to leave the
impression that its Caldwell cores
pondent believes that all the repub-
lican state ticket is not clean; and
also that Mr.. French is of the same
opinion. The correspondent made no
such report. His special was doc
tored in the Statesman Office. Mr.
French paid an earnest tribute to the
entire state ticket and urged the peo-
pie to support it. The Statesman will
resort to any method to impress the
public with the idea that some of the
state ticket is not good.

Congressman French left Caldwell
Thursday evening, accompanied by ].
b. Gowen and Judge Hagelin, in an
automobile, bound for Parma, where
Mr.. French was to speak. 1t appears
that after getting outside the city lin
its the 60-mile speed wheel was put
on, while Gowen held down the safety
valve and Tom Murray, who was in
charge of the machine, opened up the
cross-section and let her speed down
the road, but in crossing a small
bridge the machine only hit the high
places, with the result that Hagelin
went up and when he struck the
ground his otherwise handsome face
was slightly disfigured. The Overland
flyer was brought to stop and the
Judge loaded on and the journey con-
tinued.

HEPBURN AND THE PRIMARY.

The people of Idaho should not be
led astray by fanciful or fictitious is
sues. 1t may be admitted for the
present that the people of Idaho want
direct primary law; it may also be
admitted for argument that such a
law would accomplish all the good
claimed for 1t by its fondest devo-
tees; and still further 1t may be ad-
mitted that Senator Hepburn does
not believe in such law and is op-
posed to Its enaction by the legisla-
ture. Those are minor matters as far
as Senator Hepburn is concerned. If
anything, they rebound to his credit.
In face of the above acknowledged
popularity of the measure, he has
openly and publicly expressed his
honest convictions. That certainly
shows honesty and courage of a high
order. 1t shows that Senator Hey
burn is not stultifying himself or be-
traying his convictions in order to
gain votes. 1t shows that he has su-
preme confidence in the people, and is
willing to take them into his conf
dence. At the proper time he gave
out his views in the matter. That is
all there is to that.
Again, If the matter were up to
Senator Hepburn, then II would be
right for the people to insist that he
agree to support their views or else
lose their suffrage The matter will
be up to the next legislature. Senator
Hepburn is not a candidate for the
legislature; he will have no vote or
voice in that body In fact, he will
have as little to do with the laws
there enacted as you or we. We go to
this length to call attention to the |
fact that whatever your views may be |
on the direct primary, II should not |
affect you as regards Hepburn. We
cannot expect to find strong men who |
will agree with us on everything. We |
should not be lead astray by matters
If this kind. In Canyon county the
republican legislators elected will
'ote for Senator Hepburn. They will
.lso vote for a direct primary law.

Statesman Methods.

| Hon. Burton l.. French opened the
campaign in Caldwell this evening
with rousing meeting held in the
city hall. The Caldwell band fur
nished the mus ic for the occasion.
Owen M. Van Duyn introduced the
speakers OF the evening in a neat ad-
dress. Chairman O,Neil was In at
tendance and preceded Mr. French
with talk full OF sense and wit.
Mr.. French was at his best and held
his audience until the last word was
spoken. He dwelt on the necessity OF
continued republican administra-
ton, contrasting republican deeds to
democratic promises. Mr.. French ex-
planned and illustrated the Bryan idea
OF government ownership Of railroads,
showing that government supervision
Of railways was by far the better plan.
Congressman French devoted some
time to discussion of the direct pri-
mary. He said that two years ago he
had expressed himself on the stump
In favor OF direct primary law. so IL
was not a new subject with him. He
reiterated, however, his warm sup
high tribute to Mr.. Taft and also to
Mr.. Brady, the republican candidate
for governor, whom, he said, would
give the state a clean, honest, bust
ness administration. After a discus
sion OF the tariff question, he called
attention to the yacillating policy of
the democrats on the monopoly ques-
ton. comparing II with the positive
and definite policy OF the republican
party which fayOrs government regu-
lation and control, while the demo-
cratic policy might mean that or the |
first step or an initial step towards
government ownership, to which he
gave considerable attention. His
speech was pronounced to have been
the best heard at Caldwell during
The campaign. II created a splendid
impression and undoubtedly made
many votes for Taft and for all that is
clean on the republican state ticket.

house, which was comfortably filled
Fred Fisk introduced Mr.. French, who
made one of the most effective talks of
the campaign. On account of the &C
cident, Judge Hagelin was unable to
appear on the stage. Governs mod
csty, which is only exceeded by his
good looks, declined to address the au-
dience at this time. Walter Mitchell
made short but ringing talk and the
best of feeling was manifested
throughout the meeting.
There is no question but that the
meetings addressed by Mr.. French
have been the medium Of doing much
good for the party in this county.

THE COURT DECISION.

The decision of the supreme court
of Idaho, wherein Mr.. J. ]. Walling
applies for writ Of mandate to COM
pei Secretary of State Lansdon to file
what Is generally known as the Du-
bois ticket and certify the same to the
various county auditors of the state,
was handed down Monday. In this
decision the court upholds the pri-
mary law of the state and decided that
the provisions of the law are manda-
tory in all substantial particulars
The decision will prove unsatisfactory
to the people in that the court could
not go into the merits of the case in
some of the Mormon counties. The
Dubois ticket lost out because in
Oneida, Fremont and Bear Lake no
attention was paid to the plain pro-
visions Of the law. The decision would
have been more interesting had the
Dubois democrats in these counties,
properly held their primaries. Had
they SO done the court would have
had an opportunity to decide what
constitutes eligibility to participate at
a party primary; and which in fact, is
the democratic party in Idaho.
Senator Dubois contends that ac-
cording to the primary law of Idaho,
the MormOns, and all others for that
matter, who did not support the dem
ocratic nominees two years ago, had
no right to participate at democratic
primaries; and should such persons
hold primaries, the delegates there
elected to any democratic convention
were ineligible to take part in such
convention. This contention looks
reasonable. Had many of the anti
Dubois democrats been challenged, 1t
is certain that they would not have
been permitted to vote at the prima-
ries; and yet these same men did
elect delegates to the county and
state democratic conventions, because
they complied with the letter while
ignoring the spirit of the law. In
other words, number of voters,
whom 1t is freely acknowledged did
not support the democratic ticket in
either of the past two campaigns, and
are not democrats, did
actually control the democratic state
convention. 1t must be admitted that
the Dubois faction controlled the or
and in fact constituted the
party during the past four
years. Even the democrats admitted

Thus the people get exactly what they
want in the way Of legislation; and
