STATE POLITICS COMING
ALONG.

ALONG.
Standpoint Review: Accord
ing to state political gossip the
campaign of next year is already
in the citing and the newspapers
are mentioning candidates. AS
usual, Bonner county is to be
heard from and this time there
promises to be two Bonner coun-
~ gubernational candidates be-
fore the primaries on the republi-
can ticket. Last year we had
one and not winning with one it
is possible we may win with two
next year. However that may
be, S. ID. Taylor of Bonners Fer
ry, present state auditor is said
to have his ear to the ground. He
has taken issue point blank with
Governor Hawley ON assessments
at cash valuation, and those who
are endeavoring to make this the
real issue of the next campaign
are grooming Taylor as their
champion. Paul GLADSTONE of
GLADSTONE junction who was
speaker of the house and who
made sally into the gubernator-
ial nomination fight last year
and ran good third, developing
more strength than was conced.
ed to him, is declared still tC
have the bee in his bonnet. He
is strong with the grange and tn,
farmers and he expects they viii
be able to nominate him mex
time in case there are many
starters. The north has a thirC
candidate for the republican CUB
ernatorial nomination in the per
son of Judge Ailshie of the stat,
supreme court, conceded to b,
the strongest individual candi
date thus far in the reckoning
Judge Ailshie has let it be known
that he is not averse to the nomi
nation but signifies his disinclina
ton to enter into bitter pri
mary contest to secure it. Their
is feeling manifest among man
republicans to have a conventiog
designate the gubernatoria
standard bearer, not that sue
candidate should preclude all o
any others from running in tn
primary, but that such candidat
would have the united support i
the primary of those who too
part in the convention. The bit
terness of the gubernatorial figh
in the republican ranks last yea
is pointed out as the main reaso
for the defeat of Govrnor Brad
and many republican leaders ar
favoring some sort of conventio
agreement. They argue tia
with a united party early in til
game the democrats would be III
able to overcome the natural II
publican majority in the stat
and that if it is possible to hol
"get together" conventio
it would be fine thing as a pr
sage to party harmony in the ia
campaign.
The south win have a cand
date for the republican guberni
torial plum also, and it is seldol
that it has not one and the SUI
cessful one too. L. I'll. Sweetse
two terms lieutenant governo
is an announced candidate a
ready.
Governor Hawley is concede
the democratic nomination fl
reelection if he wants it and
he does not Senator McCracke
of southern Idaho would like
try, while j. Il. McClear of Coel
d'Alene is usually on the tick
for something and figures tn
it might as well be governor I
anything else.
Idaho is figuring on two co
gressmen, but it is not altogeth
sure that the bill will pass Il
senate. However, it is hard
figure any re-apportionment tn
does not materially cut down Il
membership in the house whi'
does not give Idaho two congrel
men. In case there are two, TO
