Hon, J. Fl. Hawley, one of the two
democratic candidates for the nomin-
alton for governor before the di-
rect primary comes out plain regard
ing the liquor question in an inter-
view printed in the Statesman He
says;
There is one question that has
seemingly occupied the attention of
many of our citizens and which is
considered by many the most import
ant issue of the coming campaign.
and that is the temperance question.
Il do not believe this is a living
issue In my judgment II is like the
Mormon question that divided the
Democratic party for several years

"The people of the state decided at
che last election in favor of local
option, that being an Issue sQuarely
made by the platform of the Repub-
lican party i'm that campaign. and the
legislature formulated this idea in
to a legislative enactment and pass
ed the statute with reference to
county local option.
cinct local option. instead of county
local option, was to the best inter-
ests of the state or that the larger
cities should be exempted from the
provisions of the law. The county

Irrigation Outlook


f. III. Bull. the father OF irriga-
tion under the Carey act in this
state, the other day during "A visit
TO the Twin Falls section. gave out
one of the most sensible and TRUTH
ful statements respecting irrigation
securities that has yet appeared in
print. He stated that the time was
passed when the public would take
that class Of bonds prior to the wa
tering of the land II was necessary
therefore. to provide the means from
other sources and hold the securities
until the public would take them
i'm the confidence that would be in
spired by virtue of the actual appli-
cation of the water.
That states the situation in nut
she'll Il explains the present inacti-
witty in irrigation securities. The
bonds with unwatered land behind
them can no longer be disposed of in
the usual way. Certain interests must
hold them until they have ripened,
so to speak meantime putting up the
money for construction. If this mon
ey shall be forth coming develop
ment will proceed. for IL is actual
construction that counts, after all,
irrespective of the modus operandi
Of handling the bonds.
Just at present the money market
Is somewhat tight but there are in
dications of relief The money CEN
ters are reinforcing themselves
against the demand for crop moving
and when that season shall have pass
ed and the exchequers shall have
been measurably replenishcd there
will be no great dimculty in securing
ample capital to- put through merit
OriOus irrigation projects.
There can be no better security
than land Capitalists know this and
they viii. so soon as the financial sit
uation clears. be willing TO furnish
the necessary funds and recoup from
the sale Of bonds after the water shall
have ben supeplied and the securt
r ties thereby given a real standing

SECOND CHOICE
HELD MANDATORY
PRIMARY ELECTION LAW HELD
CONSTITUTIONAL BY ST.
PREME COURT RULING
Candidate Lists as Sent Out Stands
and Second Choice Vote Held Con-
titutiOnal.-FaiIure to Vote II
Does Not Invalidate Entire Ticket.

By the terms of an opinion hand
ed down by the supreme court on
Thursday, in the case entitled Gard
ner G. Adams VS.. Robert Lansdon, as
secretary of state of the state of Ida
no. it was decided that the primary
election law, as passed by the Tenth
legislature, IS constitutional.
IN passing rr the case the Court
hands down the following opinions
concerning the new law:
eve are satisfied that it was the
purpose of the legislature to require
the voter to vote for both first and
second choice candidate. in order that
his ballot may be completed and his
intention clear as to his choice of
candidates for that particular Office.
OF course a failure to vote for either
first or second choice candidate for
any one office, where such is requir-
ed. would not affect or void the bal
lot except as to that particular otlce
We therefore conclude that said pro-
vision Of the law is mandatory and
if there are more than twice as many
candidates as there are positions oi
offices to be filley'
1T was intended to reduce to
minimum the possibilities of thwart
ing the will and purpose of the peo

NORTH IDAHO CANDIDATES
II. Gushing Moore Is the Latest 10
Announce Himself

New light is thrown on the politi-
cal situation, and considerable spec
ulation is rife among those who claim
TO know the ins and outs of republi-
can politics, by he filing of the can
didacy of +. Cushing Moore of Sho-
shone county, the present state min
ing Inspector for denomination. He
is the last of northern Idaho candi-
dates to announce himself, and in
all probability will have little or no
opposition aside from Robert N. Bell,
former state mining inspector. who
has accepted a nomination for the
same office.
Just what the effect of the mining
inspectors decision to enter the race
will be, the other candidates and
their friends are now surmising
Rumors the last several days to the
effect that another northern Idaho
candidate for secretary of state
would be brought out have material
lied in the candidacy of w. l.. Gift
ford of Lewiston, who. with the min
ing inspector and other candidates
who have been previously announc-
ed themselves, made quite an array
of northern Idaho men to choose
from.
The present inspector Is a Wash
ington boy, although educated in the
state university of Idaho, gradual
ing from the mining department. He
was nominated by acclamation at the
last state convention, and previous
to that time had been engaged in a
general mining engineering practice
in the Coeur d d'Alenes. being chief en-
gineer of the Federal Mining com
pany for four years previous to his
election
Mr. Moore's work during his in
cumbency in Office has been chacter-
lied by carefulness AMI thorough
ness in his inspection of the mining
industry of the state, say his support

for the better protection of the lives
