PAUL GLADSTONE VISITS
BEAR LAKE COUNTY

Hon. Paul Clagstone, republican
candidate for governor, spent We'd
nesday and Thursday in the county
looking after his political interests.
Mr.. Clagstone appears to be making
very clean campaign in his beha f
and expressed the belief that he
would at least be second man in the
race.
Il was his first visit to this section
of the state and he found the
weather so delightful as compared
to the exterme beat in other portions
of Southern Idaho, he declared that
he had notion to abandon his cam
paign for week or more and camp
here.

CANDIDATES ARE SLOW
IN FILING THEIR PAPERS
Up to Yesterday Evening There were Several Va
cancies on Both Tickets Nominations Can
not be Filed After Today.

The democratic county central
committee and several of the party
leaders met in Montpelier last Satur-
day for the purpose of setting thier
political machinery in motion. After
sizing up the situation, they found
that the party was short on candi
dates for several offices and COM
mittee Of three was appointed to 60
cunning for candidates and endeav-
or to get every place on the ticket
filled by this, Friday, evening the
last day on which nominations can
be filed.
Ed Rich having refused to get in
the race for auditor, the democrats
find themselves up against it for a
candidate for that Office. 1t is quite
likely, however, that the steering
committee will be able to induce
John IL. Miles TO make the race.
The democrats are also short of a
candidate for school superintendent
and the place will probably be left
vacant.
We understand the committee
was out yesterday securing the
county in the hope of being able to
get nomination papers filed by to.
night for every place on the ticket.
The republican centeral commit
tee and number of representative
members of the party from different
precincts also met in Montpelier
Saturday to talk over the situation
They found themselves to be in the
same position as the democrats in
regard to some of the offices, es
pecially for candidates for the lower
house Of the Legislature, and up tc
the hour of writing, Thursday after
noon, no republican has been founC
who has any desire to 60 to thu

: OF the three republicans-Dun
ford, Holmes aud Broomhead-whC
have been mentioned as probable

TEN TONS OF TREE
SEED FOR FORESTS

Washington, D. c., July 81
The U. S. department Of agriculture
is using this year on the National
Forests over ten tons of tree seed
Most of this seed has already been
planted or sown. The rest will be
utilized later in the season, as favor
able conditions are presented.
1t takes great many tree seeds
to make ten tons. Jack pine, the
most important tree for planting in
the Nebraska sand hills by the
forest service, will average some
thing like 1876, 600 to the pound.
Of Western Yellow pine, the tree
most extensively planted through
out the National Forests as a whole
10000 seed will make a pound
Altogether the ten tons of seed (
be used this year represent perhap
800 million single seeds.
If every seed could be depended
on to produce young tree suitabl
for planting, the result would be
supply of nursery stock sufficient t
plant three thousand acres of land
but no such result can be locke
for because many seeds do nc
i germinate. Most of the seed WI
: be sown, either broadcast or
seed spots, or planted with a corr
> planter, directly in the place whel
the tress are to stand.
There are now twenty-four N
tlonal Forest nurseries with 6
annual productive capacity of ov

in, we are unable to say.
The office of sheriff seems to be
the most attractive one this year and
both parties are we'll supplied with
candidates-the republicans having

ELECTION OFFICERS
WILL HAVE NO SNAP
Counting Ballots Cast at the Primary Election
will be an Arduous Task on Account Of the
Second Choice Provision.

days before the winner ls known
on account of the labor of counting
the votes due to the second choice
provision. w hen the second choice
provision is in effect one can vote
for whomsoever one pleases for a
second choice, one being permitted
to write in the name of any person.
For this reason John Smith, John
Doe and Jane Doe probably will
receive large number of votes.
The labor in counting votes when
the second choice provision ls in
effect was demonstrated for the first
time in the northwest at the direct
primaries in Washington two years
ago. In some of the large precincts
of Spokane the vote was not COM
pleted for three days. The same
was true Of other large precincts of
the state
The judges would count ballots
till they were nearly exhausted
when they would lock up the ballot
boxes and 60 home to sleep. After
some rest they would again return
to the work. 1t requised on the
average about seven minutes to
count a ballot at the Washington
direct primary. Under the Wash
ington direct primary law there Is
only one ticket, the candidates OF
bot8 parties appearing upon
lit. In Idaho there are separate
tickets for the democrats and repub-
licans.

million seedlings. But there are
many millions of old burns on the
National Forests which are waiting
TO be restocked and some quicker
and cheaper method than the actual
planting of nursey-grown trees is
urgently needed. Therefore the
forestors are making experiments
on large scale with different
methods of direct sowing and plant
ing, and most of the seed gathered
last year was obtained for this use.
In some localities the department
has had to purchase seed, but most
of that used is gathered by forest
service men themselves. The cost
of gathering has varied for the
different regions from thirty-five
cents to one dollar a pound. As q
rule the seed is collected in the fall
months, when most conifers ripen
their seed.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1910-07-29

Counting judges who are expect
ing snap at the direct primary
election are doomed to a big sur.
prise because there will be far
more labor counting the ballots at
the primary than at any election
ever held in Idaho. This is
occasioned by the second choice
provision of the direct primary
measure.
With one or two exceptions
there are sufficient candidates for
nomination on the republican ticket
for the various offices as TO
ne.essitate second choice. The
same applies to the candidates Oh
the county ticket.
When the number of candidates
necessitates a second choice it is
necessary to keep three tabulations
for each candidate instead of one
as at an election. The counting
clerks must keep the number of first
choice votes for each candidate, the
number Of second choice votes and
the total of first and second choice
votes.
On the republican ticket there
are enough candidates already il
the race to .necessitate q second vote
for the Offices: Governor, secretary
of state, congressman, supernten-
dent of public instruction ant
treasurer.
For state Offices if the vote 10 q
all close it will probably be severa

BRYAN NO LONGER
THE STATE LEADER

Grand Island, Neb., July 26.-I
Amid tumult of cheers, Perman
ent Chairman Smythe of the DEM
mocratic state convention today
read the result of test vote of the
gathering which practically took
from William J. Bryan the Dem4
ocratic leadership of Nebraska
which he has maintained for twenty
years. u
The vote came on q motion made
by Congressman g. NJ. Hitchcock,
a candidate for the senatorial nOm-
inatlon, and in effect was to elimi-
nate the introduction of platform
planks, with accompanying speeches,
unless submitted as section of the
majority or minority reports Of the
committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Bryan, seated as q member
of the Lancaster county delegation,
was upon his feet at once with .
protest, and preferred an amend
ment that would modify that intent
of the original motion. A dozen
delegates made as many motions
and heated speeches on the subject,
the Bryan adherents denouncing the
Hitchcock motion as ''gag rule,
and their opponents declaring thai
s'indlvidual rule" must not prevail
in the convention.
Chairman Smythe ordered a rol
call on the amendment, and ths
gathering was silent as the vote o.
the counties was called that woulC
determine the Bryan strength
When two-thirds had been Gale,
the foes of Mr. Bryan realized h
was defeated aad q wave Of cheer
that drowned the roll call began
AS Chairman Smythe read tn
result 4e5 against the amendmen
TO S94 in favor of 1.-THE delegatt
sounded a fresh volume of cheeI
that seemed to indicate their reli'
from the uncertainty that had exia
ed az 10 the strength which NJ
BRYAN would develop in the col
ventlon. The original motion
Mr.. Hitchcock then was adopted.

HOW PRECINCT OFF,
GERS ARE NAMED

The county central committee e
must provide for the nomination of
precinct officers, either through
appointment or selection by the
convention system, according to an
opinion rende red by D. Q.
McDougall, attorney general, in
response to numerous inquiries with
respect to this important feature of
the direct primary law. Under the
opinion rendered by the attorney
generals office, the convention sys :
tenn Is permitted only in the selec-
tion of the precinct officers, its
| power ceasiug there and selection
of other candidates for the nomina-
ZION to be made by the people at
be primaries
| The opinion rendered is in an
swer to inquiries by Dwight E.
Hodge, prosecuting attorney OF
Idaho county, who is among the
humber who have recently made
inquiry of the attorney general with
respect to selection of precinct of
icers. The reply of the attorney
general, follows:
Boise, Idaho, July 20, 1910
Dwight E. Hodge,
Lewiston, Idaho.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letteI
of July II, | have to say as follows
"Precinct officers are not to b,
, nominated under the primary sys
I TEN at all but are to he nominated
according to the provisions of sec
d tion % Of the primary law whicl
e provides that the nomination TO
Q precinct officers must he provide
T. for by the party organization. Ihl
does not necessarily mean that /
the case of precinct officers, tn
9 county central committee mu'
g make the nomination themselveI
:, but that they must provide for tt
y same, which implies that they mut
N provide for SAID nominations in an
II reasonable way, for instance as |
II convention. Possibly the CONVEX
le ton system will be the chief wa
- by which such nominations will
made. In such case the coun
a. central committee would proper
r. call a convention and the nomint
en- tions so made by said conventi'
of would be certified by the preside
,e- and the secretary up to the coun
clerk as provided for in the genel
election law.
las 'sIn respect to your second qu
art ton as to the second set of judg
'cS in my judgment, there is nothi
ose inconsistent in sections 81 and
the of the primary law, and the gene
law believe that you have dt

right in having the county commits
sioners appoint two boards There
will certainly be no legal difficulties
over such appointment. l would
advise, however, that such count
ing judges be not allowed to com
mence the count until after the polls
are closed. This provision you
will find in section 80 of the pri.
mary law and by thus regulating
the time of commencing the count,
no Inconsistency whatever car
arise.
