A report is current at Beverly,
Mass, that Ballinger will be forced
out of the cabinet by bold political
stroke. 1t is declared that instead
Of being white-washed by the com.
mittee he will be censured, thus
forcing President Taft to ask for his
resignation. The success of the plan
depends on eliminating the votes OF
Congressman Mccall and Senator
Root 10 returning the verdict. II II

against Ballinger.

GLADSTONE TO CONTEST
Charged Brady and O'Neil Spent
Too Much Money.

Paul Clagstone, speaker Of the
house during the last session of the
legislature and defeated candidate for
The republican gubernatorial nomina-
tion in the Aug. 80 primary election,
has declared that he intends to con-
test the nomination OF Governor
Brady In the courts. Classtone
charged that Governor Brady and B.
F. O'Nell, also a defeated candidate
for the nomination, spent sums Of
money amounting to between $50. 900
and $4,000 each In the campaign for
the promotion OF their candidacy.
He alleges that this expenditure Is in
violation Of the primary election law,
which specifically states that the
expenses of candidate for governor
must not amount to more than $3.50.
This part Of the law was passed upon
by the supreme court 10 its recent
decision aud to make case it is
necessary only for Clagstone to make
good his charges by evidence. To be
found guilty would, under the law,
dtsqualify Governor Brady as d candi-
date and the same would apply IN the
case OF O'Neil, thus leaving Clagstone
as the only candidate OF bis party.

AGAINST SECOND CHOICE
Press Comment on Direct
Primary Law.
DEFECT REGARDED SERIOUS
Otherwise The New Law Is Gener-
ally Approved.
Why the Second Choice?

why DO we vote a second choice?
mat Is question $4,000 people were
asking officials and primary workers
all day last Tuesday ahd it was surely
conundrum alright. We may be
dense but we will confess that we are
not able to answer this question in
telilgently and we would like to have
some one OF our all wise solons we
elected to the legislature two years
ago speak up and tell US why this
burdensome nuisance was laid upon
the shoulders of the voting public.
We may be wrong but the only re.
suit this second choice brought about
was the disfranchisement of 33 l.3
per cent of the electors of the state
of Idaho. Not only that. but many
refused to exercise their right to vote
because Of fear that they would spend
their time for nothing.
The primary election law is alright
and eliminating this and one or two
features 1t is as far ahead Of the old
convention plan as is the modern
Pullman ahead of the zone boss
shay" 1t eliminates the party bosses
and places the power with the people
where it ought to be. When the
people become used to it they are
going to take part in totem.-Ilo

Not Entire Success.

ldahO's first attempt to nominate
direct by the people, cannot be con-
sidered an entire success, yet with all
its faults 1t seems 1t is step 10 the
right direction and distinct i'm
provement over the old convention
system. 1t appears to be evident to
all, however, that it needs fixing"
10 few essential points, chief of
which is the second choice feature.
This was the mixer" which muddled
the minds of the voters and counting
judges both, until it was difficult 10

pass the legal requirements for count.
ing. The voters 10 general took
quite an interest and were anxious to
give the new method good test, and
it seems to be the general opinion
that If the second choice were elimi-
mated and then let plurality
nominate, that it would simplify
matters to such an extent that tie
average voter could record his choice
and feel that he had some show OF
influencing nomination, whereas
with the compulsory second choice he
may defeat his own wishes.-B0nners

from the Minidoka Irrigation project
westward along either side of Snake
river to the Oregon line, and norther-
ly as far as Weiser. Practically the
entire Payette. Boise and the Twin
Falls irrigation projects are included
in the withdrawal, together with all
intervening lands. Lands now 10

affected by the order.
The next largest withdrawal en-
braces about so townships in south
eastern Idaho, lying between Idaho
Falls and St. Anthony and the Wy

an extension of the Wyoming coal
fields and is the only bituminous coal
in Idaho. Three smaller Withdrawals

OF special interests from politics,
for complete and effective publicity

sage Of laws prohibiting the use OF
corporate funds indirectly or direct
ly for political purposes. state
supervision Of the capitalization,
not only Of public service corpora
tions, but of all corporations doing
business in the state, tile use of
our natural resources for the bene-
fit and good Of the people of our
valleys, the extension and expert
ment stations so as to take in all
phases OF life on the farm, the
regulation and conditions Of labor
by means of comprehensive work.
men compensation acts, more
stringent state laws to regulate
child labor and the work Of women,
enforcement Of better sanitary
conditions for workers and extern

STANDING for these things is
good enough for Roosevelt, and is
good enough for me, and want
the people of this state to cut this
statement out and put it in their
pockets and see whether | make
good or not.

Juvenile Bostonians who appea,
at Rathdrum Opera house on Sep.
tember IS, under auspices of the
Rathdrum State band:
"This company of talented
young girls who opened their en-.
gagement at the Empire Theatre
last evening fulfilled all the pro.
mises made by advance notice and
won the approval of every member
OF their audience. The girls are
pretty well trained in their stage
work, and above all they certainly
can sing. The opening chorus
and final Of first act are both excel
lent musical numbers and rendered
IN a manner that would give salts
faction from any company much
older and aided by male voices.
Miss Hattie HELEN as Fern Hor-
ton, with an excellent voice. a
graceful manner and full of dra.
matte power certainly has q future.
Miss Edith McClare as Heindree
won every heart with her Swiss
Yoodle song and careful acting of
her role. Lois Mason as Petite
Madlyn Cant is a winning little
lady in every way and displays a
pleasing personality charming to
all. Madlyn Ryan and Vivian
Amber may also be mentioned as
having "arrived."
"Little Ethel Stoddard, the Tot
OF the company, is both clever and
amusing, and never lost her peo-
pies attention for moment, while
Babe Mason, the youthful star and
comedienne, must be seen to be
appreciated. She still possesses
her old tricks Of comedy and pro-
vokes a smile that every time
broadens to a hearty laugh. The
character of Buta seems particu-
larly suited to her style of comedy.
In fact the whole show is a rare
and wholesome treat"

Defeats Object Intended.

There seems to he universal opin'
ion entertained by voters that the
present primary law has proved a
failure owing to the second cholce
feature, which in many instances de-
feats the very object for which the
law was intended Some candidates
in HALEY precinct lost as high as AZ
first choice votes on account or IL.
One vote for first choice would seem
to be the proper thing. and make tht
plurality candidate the nominee fo'
the office for which he is running.-

Statistics compiled from report; by
growers and handlers indicate that
the production OF commercial apples
10 Washington, Oregon. Idaho and
Montana will be between $500, 900
6,7OO,0OO boxes this season; but,
while the yield promises to be the
largest In the history of the -four
states, orchardists and buyers declare
there will be no cheap apples 10 the

The cause assigned for this is that
the crop in the middle western states

RETURNS NOT COMPLETE
Some Nominations Are Still
In Doubt.
OFFICIAL COUNT AWAITED
Some Changes Since Report of Last
Week.

The unofficial returns of the
August goth primaries throughout
the state are still incomplete, and
It will take the official count to de-
eide few Of the contests for places
on the republican state ticket.
James H. Brady has secured
the nomination for governor by
safe majority. Burton l.. French
is the nominee for congressman by
the largest vote secured by anyone
on the ticket. He carried nearly
every county in the state. Sweet
ser is in the lead for lieutenant
governor. The returns indicate
that the following candidates are
nominated: Taylor for state auditor,
Morrison for attorney general,
Miss Shepherd for state superin-
tendent. The nomination for Sc
cretary of state is still in doubt,
with E. L. Whitney in the lead.
Returns from I6 out of the az
counties give the following vote
on governor; Brady 1900 first
choice, 2,ooo second choice; Clag-
stone, 5000 and 5000; O'Neil,
9, 900 and $500.
The unofficial returns give koot-
enai county's vote on governor as
follows: Brady, I,I74 and 500;
Clagstone, Goo and 900; O'Neil,
1850 and $40.
James II. Hawley OF Boise is
unquestionably the democratic
nominee for governor, his lead
over Rice being considered de.
cisive.
More complete returns on the
! republican ticket in Kootenai
county indicate a few changes
from the probable list Of nominees
as published last week. The re-
| publican legislative candidates
endorsed by the Law Enforce
ment league are all nominated.
They are, c. H. Potts of C9ur
d'Alene for state senator; r. l..
Black of CGur d'Alene, F. M.
=, Winship Of St. Maries, George
Bridgeman of Harrison and r. c.
Thompson Of Rathdrum for repre-
sentatives.
Bert A. Reed of Cnur d'Alene
is now said to be in the lead for
probate judge.
Later returns than those used
for basis last week show that v.
w. Waltman of Harrison is the
only member of the present board
Of county commissioners who is
renominated beyond doubt. John
Young has secured the nomination
for the third district, defeating C.
M. Trigg, and S. A. Varnum seems
to have defeated |. M. Busby ir
the second district. James A.
Foster has the nomination fol
