GOV. BRADY HERE
Citizens and Ranchers Heartily Greet
The States Executive--Gov.
Well Pleased.

After being delayed by the wreck
of a train ahead of the one on
which the Governor was coming
he arrived Unexpectedly at about
1 p. m. in our city yesterday.
Arrangements had been made to
meet him with band upon his
arrival which plan failed because
of the uncertainty caused by the
wreck. The latter occurred about
IL miles west of Bonners Ferry and
the Governor, Senator Whitaker,
Prosecuting Attorney Johnson and
Commissioner Bell and other pas
sengers upon the east bound S.
& l. which should have arrived at
1859 a. M. were compelled to walk
around the wreck and ride in to the
station on the freight engine and
box cars.
These mishaps did not, however,
distract from the warmth of the
reception which the Governor re-
ceived by all the people of our city.
Regardless of party the people all
joined in giving the chief executive

the attention due his Office. He
made short address to crowd of
country people on the street, after
which he was shown over the new
bridge in course of construction
across the Kootenai, for which he
aided us ia securing state aid.
Was then shown over the magni-
ficent saw mill plant of the Bon
ners Ferry Lbr. Co., also other
business enterprises and in the
evening was given grand recep-
ton at the Oddfellows hall, where a
large crowd listened to interesting
remarks by the Governor, preced-
ed by Senator Whitaker.
The Governors address was con-
fined to discussion of the various
institutions of the state. its vast
resources and possibilities, and
some of the duties and trials of a
chief executive. Altogether the
occasion was happy one for the
people of Bonners Ferry and we
believe was also enjoyed by the
Governor.

First and Second Choice Feature Of
Primary--Lawyers Disagree

BOISE, March 24.-The year 1910
promises to be the most interesting
politically in the history of Idaho.
The election itself, next Novem Der,
will not be much different from
other elections, probably, but the
preliminaries leading up thereto
will be vastly different. The real
contests will take place at the
primaries, and already the leaders
are marshaling their forces.
The above conditions are due to
the new direct primary Jaw, which
is to have it's first trial in Idaho
this year. Now, there are many
kinds of direct primary laws, and
the laws of one state may differ
materially from those of another,
but the Idaho direct primary law
is all new to Idahoans, and remains
to be tried out for the first time
this year. 1t is an astounding fact
that men credited with being
astute politicians do not pretend to
comprehend the law or to be able
to figure out its results. They are
now trying to post themselves upon
it's requirements and workings.
Following are some of the chief
characteristics of the new law:
1t attempts to do away with the
old convention system where the
ticket was nominated by delegates.
The law does not prohibit con
vention to nominate ticket, which
ticket might be voted for aud Sc
lected at the direct primary, but
such convention would be looked
upon as a violation of the spirit of
the direct primary law and would
be suicidal on the part of those at
tempting it.
Under the new law anyone may
become candidate for any Office
for which he is legally qualified
either by paying fee or by secur-
ing and fling nominal petition.
The maine then goes upon the party
primary ticket.
When the voter goes into the
polling place to vote, he is hapded
a number of tickets, corresponding
to the number of political parties
participating. One ticket contain,
the names of all the republican
candidates for the respective Offices
from governor down, another tht
names of the democratic candi
dates, and so on for each polItica
party. The voter goes into ooo.i

POINTS ON THE PRIMARY LAW

and marks one of these tickets
his party choice. This ticset ID
handed to the judges to be deposit
ed in the ballot b K, while the
other tickets are deposited in bal
lot box provided for ballots that
are discarded. The ballot Is there
fore secret. No one even knows
whether you voted republican or
any other party ticket, and this
fact has been urged as a serious OBJ
lection to the present law, as by
the abuse Of this feature democrats
could vote for republicans and
assist in nominating a weak ticket
for them, or republicans could turn
the same trick for the democrats.
A mixed ticket can not be voted.
The voter can not vote for, cay a
Republican for Governor and
Democrat for Sheriff. The voter
can deposit but one ballot, and
supposing that he is Republican,
he could not give his Democratic
friend lift for Sheriff by writing
his name in on the Republican
ballot, because such vote would not
be counted for the Democrat under
the law.
In marking the ballot there is a
First and Second choice feature.
The voter places cross after the
name of his first choice for the
various offices, and he has the pri-
vilege of making a Second choice.
Right here has arisen serious
question. 1t is question if it lis
not mandatory that the voter make
second choice, upon penalty of
! not having his first choice counted
if he does not also mark his second
choice. Lawyers disagree upon
this point. and there will be great
confusion unless the law can be
authoritively determined before
the next primary.
But this is not the only puzzle
about the Second choice feature.
The law goes on to say that in case
no one candidate has majority of
all votes cast for the Office, the first
and second choice votes for each
candidate shall be added together
and the one receiving the greatest
number of first and second choice
votes shall be the nominee. This
can only occur of course when
there are three or more candidates
for the same Office. A little 6gur.

She Had Courage.

A self possessed young woman who
knew no French strolled into one of
the larger downtown cafes. She spoke
to the waiter in that decisive tone
which distinguishes the initiated and
glanced over the French bill of fare
with the nonchalant air of a Pa
risienne.
"Tll have" she began firmly as she
plunged into the sea of French dishes
I'll have-let me see. Oh, yes, I'll
have some bisque tortoni, a sultana
roll, pommes de terre and a little of
that frontage. And, garcon, you might
as well bring me cup of coffee"
The waiter gasped He started to
speak, but the young woman froze him
with one of those icy stares peculiar
to the thoroughly sophisticated.
And the order arrived-two kinds of
ices, boiled potatoes and a piece of
cheese. But she ate it as if she had
been used to that sort of diet all her
life.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The aeroplane is an airboat rather
than a flying machine. The only &C.
ton Of the bird that it initiates is the
birds soaring, in nearly the same
sense in which boat floats or duck
swims. With the duck, however, there
Is one difference. 1t shares the balloon
principle, because its body will not
sink when it stands still. whereas the
aerop!ane will fall unless it is con-
stantly urged forward. The duck is
lighter than its bulk of water, as the
balloon is lighter than its own bulk of
air. To call an aeroplane a flying ma
chine is therefore exactly the same as
to call boat a swimming machine
