RICE'S CANDIDACY

The Caldwell Tribune, while
acknowledging that Hon. j. C.
Rice is in every way fitted for the
office OF Governor, at once jumps
to the conclusion that he will not
be permitted try for the demo-
cratic nomination at the primary
election because the democratic
state organization has not gone
wild over his announcement.
Why, bless your heart, John,
Mr.. Rice or any other citizen of
the State of Idaho has a perfect
right to try for the nomination
for Governor. That is the beauty
;of the direct primary law, and
the bosses, be they democratic or
republican, have very little to
say about the matter. It'sup to
the voters. The Caldwell News,
as the democratic organ of the
state, is pursuing the rightpolicy
in showing no favoritism for any
particular democratic candidate
in the primary election, as long
as the aspirants are men of abili-
ty and honor, and are qualified
for the office to which they aspire.
I No wonder the editor of the
Tribune has been opposing the
direct primary movement, foI
the following editorial from the
Tribune of June 10th, shows very
plainly that the editor of that
paper does not comprehend the
meaning of the law and knows
nothing whatever about it, but
jumps at conclusions, and imag
ines nothing good can come o
any movement unless it has his
sanction. He shows about as
much knowledge of the direct
primary law as many of the "Mt
too" writer's do on the principle,
of socialism; a subject that they

Senator Borah could not I'M
derstand what his colleague
meant by such a declaration in

declared in favor of a constitu-

such election.
Hepburn recognized the fact
that legislatures of the state have
taken such action, but to Hey
burn that indicates nothing. He
showed what he would regard as
an indication of the sentiment of
the people OF Idaho, and that is
a declaration OF the republican
party. He declared that the re-
publican party of Idaho had
never so declared, and to Hey
burn that settled it. Nothing is
demanded by the people which is
not regularly demanded by the
republican party by and with the
approval of the leaders of that
party. To him, however, these
demands are not always bind
ings; only so when they meet with
his approval and with the APP
lproval OF the leaders.
