French would receive the nominal
lions. Congressman French is very
popular throughout the state and
ex-Congressman Hamer made a
most remarkable record as a Repre-
sentative in the House. Addison T
Smith is we'll known and Justly
popular. He too is a good man
Former Governor Brady is well
Known. He has friends by the
Dushel and good record,
The nominee for justice of the
Supreme Court is in grave doubt.
or rather in grave doubt from the
| ordinary standpoint. It conditions
in Idaho were different politics
would be different. Under present
conditions Judge Alfred Bulge will
probably be nominated and elected
He is a Mormon and a most esti-
mable man. We have naver heard
of him being seriously criticised
either as a jurist or as a man, In
opposition to Judge Bulge will be
found Judge Walters, Judge Heit-
man, Judge Morrison and Judge
McDougall. These gentlemen are
all we'll known to the people of
Idaho. They are strong capable
men. If, however, the Mormon
church, wants a Mormon on the
Supreme bench, and we think they
] do, Judge Bulge Will be nominated.
Deplorable as conditions may be in
idaho, you cannot escape the Nor
mon influence. 1t is here and will
remain for some time to come.
The judiciary naturally suggests
the state department of justice For
attorney general two men are men
toned. They are Mr.. o. M. Van
| Duyn and Mr.. - Peterson.
Both gentlemen are in the Office of
the Attorney General at the present
time. Mr.. Van Duyn is from Can
yon county. Mr.. Peterson is from
the southeast. Mr.. VanDuyn is a
most capable lawyer. Mr.. Peterson
is a Mormon. Mr.. Van Duyn should
receive the nomination. We cannot
tell what may happen.
1t is understood that Mr.. Clifford
will have little opposition as a can
didate for secretary of state, He
is a good man and the people feel
inclined to let well enough alone.
Miss Shepherd will not be troubled
with opposition. Several other can
didates are in the same way.
Mr.. o. V. Allen, the present state
treasurer will have serious oppo-
sition. At present the most promi-
nent man suggested for the position
is Mr.. T. K. Little. Mr.. Little was
formerly in business in Caldwell.
He has been identified with the state
for nearly twenty-five years. He
was a competent, successful bust
ness man. The people of south
western Idaho will rally around Mr..
Little. He is well known; highly
respected and generally esteemed.
The report published in the last
issue of the Tribune would indicate
that the Kuhns are about to enter
upon extensive developments in Ida
no. Those interests have been
identified with the state for num-
Der of years. Readers OF the IT'D
une are quite familiar with the
work they have done in the Twin
Falls section. They propose to en-
ter upon another series OF develop
ment work in southern Idaho. Ihelr
plans contemplate the reclamation
of land; the development OF power
sites. the transmission and use OF
electric power; and the building o.
electric railways. The expendi-
lures they will make will run ih''
several million of dollars. IheS
have purchased the power plant a
