COUNTY TICKET.

The people of Canyon county are to
be congratulated upon electing a Re-
publican state and county ticket. 1t is
now assured that the progress of the
state and development of the county
will go ahead. The Republicans prom
ised a close administration of county
affairs, If elected. They also promised
local option. Upon these two issues
the people of the county entrusted the
Republican party with the government
1t is now up to the officers-elect to
make good. Not only Is their reputa-
ton as men but the reputation of the
party Is at stake. The Tribune is con-
vinced that all the elected men will
make good. They are good and ca
pable. While we are feeling good,
we should pay tribute to the man
who conducted the campaign. The
people and the elected candidates
should remember that Messrs. j. B.
Gowen as chairman and w. G. Comp
ton as secretary made the victory pos
sible. They devoted their time and
money to the candidates. To them
great credit is due. Other prominent
Republicans like Campbell and Stovel
in Caldwell, Dewey, Jenness and Nc
Gee in Nampa; Hayes and Munroe in
Emmett; Foote and Breshears in Mid
dleton; Mitchell and Fiske In Parma;
Venable, Kirk, Moss and Satoris in
Payette; and, Well, what's the use,
there are hundreds who did much.
There is glory and credit for all. The
county ticket was elected from top to
bottom. The people of the county did
well, and all is well.

STATESMAN'S INFLUENCE.

A great many of our readers have
heard of the Boise Statesman. Some
few of them have read it at different
times. One or two have believed the
paper at some time or other. The
Statesman is published at Boise. 1t
did not receive the support 1t thought
II deserved at the hands of Messrs.
Lansdon and Hastings and consequent
ly resorted to every power at hand to
defeat these two gentlemen. The
Statesman we are told has large
circulation in Ada county. At least
it is one of the leading papers there
and should have. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Statesman supported
James HI. Brady for governor He
lost 1t will be recalled that the
Statesman opposed Senator Hepburn
He won. The Statesman opposed
Messrs. Lansdon and Hastings. They
won. We are now speaking only of
the vote in Ada county-the home of
the Statesman. What do you think
of the influence of the Statesman?
Where 1t circulates most, there has it
the least influence. Persons desiring
public favor should take pains to first
secure the opposition of the Boise
Statesman. 1t has injured every man
1t ever supported and made every man
1t ever opposed. Look at Hepburn,
Gooding, Brady, Lansdon and Has
tings. Hamer, and McDougall. There
are several more that might be men
toned, but what's the use. If you
want to succeed, get the Statesman
against you; no matter by what means,
get it against you.

REPUBLICANS WIN.

In nation, state and county, the Re-
publicans have made a clean sweep.
They have won everything. The Trib-
une does not mean to exult. We do
not care to everlastingly remind the
Democrats Of their defeat. They put
up good men, but they advocated bad
principles. The Republicans put w
equally good men on right principles
of government. The late election was
a complete vindication of the Repub-
lican policies Of government. 1t proves
conclusively that the people rule. What
liz more important, 1t proves that the
people are competent of self-govern-
ment. 1t shows that they are logical
thinkers and intelligent voters. I'm
der the administration of President
Taft the people will experience ano-
Their awakening as they experienced
under the administration of President
Mckinley. The gloom has been lifted
The depression Is no more. The peo-
pie have Enthusiastically stated that they
are satisfied with the Republican ad-
ministration of public affairs. They
trusted in Roosevelt and his promises
were fulfilled. They trust in Taft and
his promises will be fulfilled. They
trusted in Hon. J. H. Brady and he will
treat them right. The people used
good judgment at the last election.

Right end.
Halloween.

Hallowe en- was observed with the
usual ceremonies at Caldwell by in
dulging in destruction of property. 1t
would seem that the city officers would
have been prepared for this occasion,
but they were not The fact that a
lot of hoodlums were permitted to drag
a heavy wire cable across street
and then run it through the door han
dies of business houses without being
discovered by the night Waterman,
who is supposed to be on Main street
occasionally during the night, is suf-
ficient evidence that that officer was
not attending to his business. The
cable had value of near $4,000 and
was injured to an extent that it is
not now worth more than half that
amount. The chances are that If the
city could be made pay for the dam
age done, there would be a vacancy
in the police department, and there
would be no protests offered.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The people of Canyon county, un-
doubleday want direct primary law.
They think that by such law the
people will be better enabled to ex-
ercise direct supervision over the
nominations of all the candidates on
the different tickets. At present 1t
seems to be the opinion of the people
that they have not a good chance to
influence the selection of candidates.
The Tribune Is heartily in favor OF
anything that will give the people
more power. We are inclined to doubt
that the proper method is by means OF
direct primary. Unless the people
are inclined to devote the time and
attention, no law will be able to de-
Feat the persons who are willing to do
the work. A direct primary, instead
OF relieving the people, will give them
more work. This the people do not
want. At present 1t is impossible to
get all the people out for election.
Half of them would not even register.
II they were not either reminded OF
1t, or else the registrar came to their
homes. After registering half of them
would not vote unless the candidates
or else some enthusiastic persons
went after them in carriages. Under
these conditions we cannot see how a
direct primary law or anything else
would do any good. 1t is not claimed
by any person that the people of Ida
no have no voice. They have a chance
to secure anything and everything
they may desire. They can nominate
and elect tickets under present condi-
tons. They can do everything that a
direct primary or any other law would
guarantee them. The only thing we
can see to a direct primary law is
that 1t complexities and makes more
for any man to secure an Office. The

The election Of 1908 is a thing of
the past and the much used expression
Shall the people ruler" has been an
swered in the affirmative. The result
In Canyon county was especially graf
flying to the good Republicans who
stuck on the band wagon and those
who did not and who imagined that
by staying on the fence they could
conveniently fall off either way, are
now striving to square themselves
with the powers that be-" 1t might
be meet to observe in passing that the
actions of these certain distinguished
ones during the campaign will not be
forgotten In the future. AS has been
commended from the start, the Re-
publicans of Canyon county placed
upon their ticket men who were clean
In every respect and the people of the
grandest county of the grandest state
In the Union are to be congratulated
on their sane choice. If our Demo-
cratic brethren were to have been be-
lieved, 1t was to be walkaway for
most of their candidates but sane
minded Democrats as we'll as Repub-
licans plainly showed their prefer
ence. 1t was specially gratifying to
note the loyal support given to such
tried and true men" as o. M. Van
Duyn, F. A. Hagelin and Frank Bres-
hears. These men have in all in
stances proved their fitness for office
and the voters of this county showed
their appreciation of their sterling
qualities.
The Tribune In its ante-election ar
ticles, time and time again assured its
readers that every man on the county
Republican ticket would, II elected.
stand squarely on the Republican
county and state platforms. We now
reiterate this statement with an as
surance that every one on the ticket
elect will work tooth and nail" for
all that is clean and true In our coun-
ty and state.
we congratulate you, voters, on your
wise choice OF state senator and rem
resentatives. This county may well
feel proud to be represented by such
upright and clean men. Watch these
men, voters, they Will be found in the
front rank, working for the principles
laid down in our platform and other
things for the upbuilding of our state
and county. The loyal support given
all our candidates has worked as a
stimulus for good service and we con-
clude this campaign with the convic-
ton that right has won and Knowing
that Canyon county will prosper. The
mountains and the hills shall break
forth before you into singing, and all
the trees OF the field shall clap their

come up the fir tree and instead of

College Wins From Payette.

The Payette high school met the
College of Idaho's football team on the
college campus Friday and in spite of
the weather played very interesting
game. The college men had a walka-
way, winning by score of 46 to O..
However, it can be said for the Payette
boys that they gave the college plen-
ty to do. The college team is playing
fast ball this year and is making a
great deal better record than ever be-
fore. Caldwell winning this game puts
the team on an even basis with that of
Boise, and 1t lies between these two
teams as to which wins the pennant.
A good game is expected when these
two teams meet.
