PRIMARIES AUGUST BOTH
Voters Of Idaho Will Then
Choose Candidates.
HOW VOTING IS DONE
q
Polls to be Open 10 to 8 O'clock
Throughout State.

Next Tuesday, August 80, the
primary elections will be held
throughout the state for the first
time under the provisions OF the
direct primary law enacted by the
tenth legislature.
Each precinct has its voting
place and election board as at
general elections and all parties
vote at the same place and on the
same day in each precinct. The
Fraternal hall is the voting place
named by the county commission
ers for Rathdrum precinct.
The polls are to be open, accord
ing to the provisions Of the law,
from ten o'clock in the morning
until eight o'clock in the evening,
and no adjournment or intermission
whatever shall take place until the
polls shall be closed, and the votes
counted, and the result publicly
: announced.
Section II, regarding the quail
! fcation of voters, reads as follows:
"No person shall be qualified to
vote at any primary unless he will
be qualified elector of the county
and state at the next general cleo
ton and at the time Of the primary
be duly registered in the precinct
wherein he offers to vote"
The manner of voting is set
forth in Section IS, which says:
Each vote shall be by ballot.
When an elector offers to vote he
shall be given one ballot Of each
party, pinned together, and shall
retire privately to a booth and
mark the same. He shall vote
only one ticket, which shall be de
livered by him to judge of the
primary, and it shall be deposited
by such judge in the ballot box fo1
votes. The blank ballots of tn.
other parties not marked shall b.
deposited by the voter, under th'
supervision and direction of tn
, Judges of election, in the ballo
box provided for waste ballots.

scribed by the law, contains

While touring the southern part OF
the state, Paul Clagstone, candidate
for the nomination Of governor on the
republican ticket, made the follow
ing statement at Twin Falls, Angus,
4:
II am for the Roosevelt conserva-
tion principles, unlike Governor
James Brady, who favors the state
conservation plan. This idea Of Mr..
Brady's seems unwise to me, until We
! have legislation which will prevent
the resources belonging to the people
from passing into the hands Of pri-
vate mon0polies. l also differ with
Mr.. O'Neil as to the proper method
of handling the liquor question.
"He believes and advocates local
option law and opposes state wide
prohibition. l believe the local op-
tion law is good thing, but is only
a stepping stone. Just as | believe d
county unit would be better than a
precinct unit law, so l believe state
wide prohibition to be better than To-
Cal option, and national prohibition
better than state wide. Pass a state
wide prohibition law at the next ses-
sion of the legislature and end all
this strife in the various counties.

vanced stand such as | have taken

such utterances are mere nonsense
