THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

There are signs of returning com
mon sense in the matter of the direct
primary. A few years ago a craze
for overturning the old order OF
things was started, and before It had
run its course several states fell un.
der the spell. Now the country ID

Where 1t has been tried to the full.
est extent the direct primary plan
has proved a collosal failure. Any
amount Of evidence could be produced
to back up this statement from mon
who are conversant with its workings
M. H. DeYoung. owner of the San
Francisco Chronicle, and a man OF
keen perception rs well as wide in
formation, has this to say of the d.
rect primary as tried out in the coast
town:
1.-The direct primary is the biggest
farce in politics. all along believed
this to be so, but was convinced of
1t In the last city election. A capable
and honest man does not want TO en-
ter the field for political ONCE when

be elected than the thing Is worth.

RICE'S CANDIDACY.

The announcement of Hon. John C..
Rice's candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for governor made in the
Caldwell News of recent date, seems
to arouse little enthusiasm with the
Democratic State organization. st
any rate the official organ has not
seen fit to say even a kind word for
Mr.. Rice and he a stakeholder, too.
In fact the Democratic organization
was surprised at Mr.. Rice's announce
ment and has not recovered to this
day. The candidate whom the or
ganization has selected is Mr.. NJ
Alexander of Boise. Mr.. Rice will be
called of at the proper time II the
organization cap do 1t. Consequent
ly 1t would not do to say too much
about Mr.. Rice because the people
might insist that he be nominated. IT
Is not the intention of the Democracy
that the people be permitted to say
too much about the ticket. They will
be expected to take what is given
them.
Hon. ]. c. Rice is a man of ex-
eeptional ability and it is not sur
prising that he would be looked upon
with suspicion by the Democratic
party. He is a lawyer by profession
and stands high in his profession. He
IS clean, able. highly respected man.
He would make a strong campaign
both at the primary and generol ell
ections. He is one of the very few

NEWSPAPERS AN EMBARRASS
MENT.

The most embarrassing thing a
man in public life can have is a news
paper or two. Once the impression
get abroad that man in politics
owns a newspaper he is done for as
far as the scope OF that particular
paper is concerned. The newspaper
itself loses influence and the man is
blamed for errors of commission and
commission without end. A newspa-
per can get a politician into more
trouble in 30 minutes than he would
get himself into in thirty years. lie
is held responsible for things he does
not know about; blamed for things
he never heard of. The paper can
not say word in praise of the man
without he is accused of blowing his
own horn. 1t cannot criticise an
other without he is charged with
striking in the dark In fact the
newspaper can do nothing to the ad-
vantage of the man or the injury of
his enemies. 1t is helpless except to
injure the man himself. Politicians
without end have owned newspapers

but always with disaster to them

but always with disaster to them
selves.
The rumor Is abroad in the land
that Governor James H. Brady owns
a large block of stock in the Capital
News. The Tribune cOnnot believe
he does. We cannot see why any
man in his right mind would want
to own the Capital News or any part
of it. However, the rumOr is abroad
and Mr.. Brady is already suffering
and will suffer a great deal more II
he does not quiet that rumor. Here
is the case of Ex-Governor Goodtng.
Mr.. GoOding wants to and intends
supporting Mr.. Brady but he will
not do so long if the Capital News
continues its fight and the rumor
is generally believed to be true. tMr.
Gooding will rightly demand that the
Capital News be called off. II 1t
is how can Mr.. Brady explain the at
tacks already made upon Mr.. Good
ing? If it is not Mr.. Gooding will
soon be wanting to know why It Is
not. There you have it,, The best
that Governor Brady can get is a
round of cussing by everybody con-
cerned. 1t is the same with Con-
gresham Hamer. When he gets back
to Idaho he will hear of the rumor
and will Immediately jump onto Gov
ernor Brady. And wha4 can the
Governor 90? He is between the
devil and and the deep sea and no
joke about 1t. AS the campaign
warns NJ, there will be more of these
interesting disputes.
Just at the present time Governor
Brady could easily be elected to sue
coed himself All that he has to do
is to stear clear of the newspaper
alliances and newspaper controver-
sizes. The people feel that he has
given the state pretty good admin
istration and that he is entitled to u
second term. But what is he going
to do with the Capital News? AL
ready 1t is common talk that If you
want to shut up the Capital News all
you have to do Is to attack the Gov
ernOr.
