Republican leaders of prominence

Republican leaders of prominence
outside the Bloody Eleventh" are get
ting into the fight to attempt to beat
Caleb Powers for the nomination for
Congress. Listen to sam Roberts
collector Of Internal Revenue, in his
Lexington Leader:
Taking as a text that Caleb Powers
says he is a member of the church ana
is, therefore a moral man, the London
Echo lights into him and charges him
with the fracture Of nearly every moral
law is the category. as well as a large
number of the statute books. In fact
II makes charges that IL a democratic
paper would make, there would be a
howl among the republican papers, all
over the country. Not only is he charg.
oil with melting to riot and bloodshed
at Frankfort but fleeing in disguise
with q pardon in his pocket, when his
sins could no longer be condoned. The
arraignment is terrific. and II the half

from which a democratic Court Of Ap-
peals rescued him, ought, in all jus
tice, to have been inflicted.
Mr.. Powers ought not have exposed
himself to the revivication of such
charges from his former friends. II
would have been a great deal better
for him to have retired to obscurity.
AMI been forgotten, than TO have let
his ambition overlap itself to warm a
seat in congress. The goal, II he
wins, is not worth 1t. Besides, what
could he be, more than a notch ON a
stick, with his only claim to recog-
milton, that he was charged, and three
times found guilty Of conspiracy TO
assassinate a man who was legally
proceeding to secure his rights, and
that he accepted pardon from a
partisan Governor, when he could
have shown his innocence, II he was.
The Hon. Robert B. Franklin was
abused and villified for producing
sworn charges against Powers in court
he was simply doing his bounden
duty. But even backed by the testi-
mony that he had. Mr.. Franklin never
made as serious charges against him
as his former friends are now doing
and proving that in pardoning him,
Governor Wilson committed an un-
pardonable crime.

Messrs. S. w. Dee, D. P. Dodd and
Otto G. Reinhart. OF course Mr..
Dee is the choice of Caldwell as he
Is a business man of this city and
would have at heart the interests of
the entire county. He would make
first-class commissioner in every
particular. He Is a man of progress
sive ideas and would give the people
OF Canyon county an economical ad-
ministration of county affairs. Mr..
D. P. Dodd also has a great many
friends throughout the county. He
has served the people as county
commissioner and made splendid
record. 1t is generally thought that
he might not care to give the Office
the time and attention it deserves.
However, the nominee of the party
will be one or the other of these two
men. Mr.. Reinhart has had a trial
and it is generally believed that he
would not make the strongest man
that could be nominated.

ShOrb Is Confident.

Cormac j. Shorb returned Monday
from the Payette valley where he
had been in the interests of his can
didacy for the Republican nomina-
ton for clerk of the district court.
Mr.. Shorb says that he met with a
cordial reception at every hand in
the Payette valley. Mr.. Shorb has
visited practically every precinct in
Canyon county and everything indi-
Gates his nomination by a handsome
majority. Reports coming in from
other sources lead us to believe that
Mr.. Shorb is not deceived in his es-
innate of the outcome. Emmett,
Payette, Parma, Roswell, Middleton
and Nampa will each give Mr.. Shorb
strong majorities. The people Of
Caldwell know the sentiment in
Caldwell and nearby precincts.

Two CANDIDATES
FOR JUDGE

The Republicans of the Seventh
Judicial District should remember
that there are two candidates for
the nomination of Judge Of the Dis
trict Court. They are F. A. Hagelin
of Caldwell and B. 8, Varian Of
Weiser AS the next Judge of the
District Court of the Seventh Ju-
dicial District will be either Mr..
Hagelin or Mr.. Varian "a few words
about these two gentlemen will not
be inappropriate.
Judge Hagelin was appointed pro-
bate Judge of Canyon county in
June of 1906 to fill an unexpired
term. In 1906 he was elected and
again elected in 1908. He resigned
as probate judge last winter to be-
come county attorney. o. NJ. Van
Duyn having resigned from that
office. AS county attorney he has
made a good record, but he made
his reputation as probate judge. In
the latter office he won the reputa-
ton of being the best probate judge
Canyon County has ever had. He
was faithful in the performance OF
his duties: accommodating to the
general public: and handled the
affairs of the once with signal abil
ity. In case of his nomination tho
people will have a strong candidate
and a good judge when elected.
Mr.. Varian is not so well known

1t was the best of the citizens of
Caldwell and vicinity that met Tues

the Commercial Club to greet Sena-

he had to say on the governments

the west and particularly as 1t af-
fected Idaho. The rooms were filled
to overlooking and many could not
gain entrance.
Mr.. BIN. Holt presided with his
usual grace and dignity and in a
few appropriate remarks, introduced
the Senator.
Mr.. Borah had visited the govern
ment reclamation works just south
OF the city during the day with
prominent citizens of this city and
was pleased and delighted with the
work that the government is doing
and has done at this place. So when
the meeting opened he was prepared
at first hand to give expression to
his pleasure therein. He stated
that 1t was his custom, rather, to re-
ceive than impart information, and
he had gathered much that was
needful to the homesteader and ir-
rigator and that it has been his aim
and endeavor to always work for the
best interests of this people. But
the people down east were slow to
see the benefits and advantages OF
the reclamation work, and that ex-

HAMER CLOSES
HIS CAMP IGN
Especial to Tribune.)

Grangeville, Idaho, Aug 18th.
Congressman T. R. Hamer closed
his northern itinerary in this place
yesterday evening and will start for
the southern part of the state to-
morrow morning. No Congressman
from this state has ever had a more
enthusiastic and cordial reception In
Idaho county than did Mr.. Hamer.
Not only did the politicians and the
leading men of the Republican party
of this county give him the glad
hand, but the citizens generally
turned out to do him honor, and to
endorse his able, common sense and
successful course in Congress.
Everybody up here now says that
Mr.. Hamer's course was the very one
that he should have followed, and
that had he opposed the republican
majority in Congress, Idaho would
have got practically nothing in the
way of favors, and as 1t Is 1dahof
leading industries are amply pro-
tected in the tariff schedule, and he
was able to have passed through the
house the $2O,OOO,OOO Irrigation

tate that made him realize that
something was doing. He investi-
gated and found that there was
great demand for Idaho real estate,
and so he sold out in Oregon and
went back to Idaho. One piece of
real estate that he had offered on
the market for $1,000, recently sold
for $4,000. Another piece that
had cost him $4,000, at which price
he offered to sell it, he has since
been offered $4,000 for. And so it

Mr.. Gwinn is a very rich man,

SHORB VISITS
CITY Of EMMETT

Editor Tribune:
Last week in our canvas for the
primary nomination of Clerk of the
District Court of Canyon County
we visited Emmett. We first visit
ed that place in 1882, spending the
summer on the ranch of Dan Regan,
ST., where we carried water and COT
fee to the farm hands, helped the
women In the kitchen, separated
the sucking calves from the cows
and making ourselves generally
useful. At that time the village
consisted of a general store, with
pOstofice adjunct, a saloon, a saw
mill, blacksmith shop and livery
stable, and a few dwellings. The
village was called Emmettsville.
We visited the place again in
1904 when we attended the Republ-
can County Convention as a dele
gate and we noted wonderful
transformation. Col. Dewey had
built his railroad into Emmett-the
people had performed an operation

built, and the airs and government
of a city had been assumed.
But great as had been the trans
formation between 1882 and 1904,
the former record had been eclipsed
since that time. On my recent visit
we noted that the town had more
than doubled in size and many new

The committee having in charge
the candidacy for Attorney General
of Hon. John T. Morrison, has is
sued an address to the voters of
Idaho. The address reads:
Mr.. MOrrisOn's Candidacy.
1t was no narrow, personal or
partisan motive which induced a
committee of his fellow citizens to
wait upon Mr.. Morrison and urge
him to respond to the call coming
from all sections Of the state that he
become a candidate for Attorney
General 1t was an uprising of
citizens demanding a candidate pos
sessing special qualifications for the
discharge of the important duties
Of the once and measuring up to

Of those who are to stand the moral
test Of a contest in which the peo-
pies interests are at stake.
Idaho has attained large proper
tons in the affairs of state admin

mands abilities of a high order and
unquestioned integrity to fill the
requirements of efficient public SER

the Office of Attorney-General.
That officer is the legal adviser of
all the departments, has charge of
the legal work incident to the states
various activities, and is a member
Of all the important administrative
boards. Wi hout further statement
or argument, any citizen should see
at once the high importance of fill
ing the Office with a man of states
manship abilities, high legal attain
ments, and unquestioned integrity.
We invite you to investigate the
necessity for the preferment of such
a man at this present time, and
ask the most critical examination
Decial qualifications, abiliti
and character of the man whom we
present. We have known him per-
sonally for many years, are thor
oughly acquainted with his private,
professional and official life, and can
vouch for the high character of his
standing. We assure all voters that
where he is best known his support
Is general and enthusiastic.
Mr.. Morrison's platform may be
stated in the words of a paragraph
from his letter to this committee:
