DEMOCRATS FORLoRN.

The Democrats of Canyon county
must be feeling down in the mouth.
Thus far they have been unable to
scare up candidates enough to fill the
ticket They realize that the county
is overwhelmingly Republican and that
their only chance OF success was in
the Republicans nominal ting weak men.
After they sized up the men who are
candidates for the different nomina-
tons they gave up all hope. They re-
allied that there was no chance for
them to elect man. Being badly torn
up IN the state and nation gloom
has settled upon them which will not
dispel. They are demoralized, dis
couraged and devoid of all hope of
success. This condition is satisfying
to the Republicans. The party will
enter the campaign with a splendid
ticket 1t will be full of hope and con-
hdence. Under such conditions defeat
is impossible.
The Tribune offers its congratula-
tons to the people of Canyon county.
They are assured of two years of
clean. economical, Republican admin
istration of their county affairs.

on public questions. There has been
no equivocation. 1t seems to us that
such man is the kind of a man the
people of Idaho want for their next
governor. They want a man who ap-
preciates the dignity and the respon-
sibility of the Office. They want man
whose training and experience has
qualified him to handle large affairs.
The government of this state requires
sound, business judgment. That is
the main qualification. Mr.. Haines
is first business man, and most sue
cessful one. He would bring to the
Office ripe experience; sound judg-
ment; and a clear understanding of
the problems with which he will have
to do.
The press reports which come to
The Tribune Office from all sections
indicate that Mr.. Haines is making a
very good impression on the people.
They are finding him man of pleas
ing address; ikable personality; and
withal thoroughly conversant with the
needs and conditions of the state. He
has lived in Idaho so long that he very
soon become familiar with local con-
ditions. The people are finding one
Of the secrets of his success in the
he has made. Unless the
state press has absolutely lost its
ability to ascertain and reflect public
opinion the next nominee for COVER
nor will be Hon. John M. Haines of
Boise.

HAINES AN EASY WINNER.

Whiie Mr.. Morrison is explaining
his connection with the Steve Adam
case; denying his association with
barrow; Nugent ct al; and getting
vindication wherever he can; Hon
Paul Clagstone is racing up and down
the state denouncing politicians and
demanding agricultural development
Hon. Ben Tweedy. on the other hand.
is simply conducting a publicity cam
paign from his Lewiston headquarters.
He is denouncing everything in sight
by means of pamphlets issued from
week to week. Thus far none of these
three candidates have made much i'm
press'on on the the people. Thew
seem to have forgotten Tweedy; con-
s'der Clagstone joke; and Morrison's
explanations have not been explained
On the other hand Hon. John M.
Haines has gone about his campaign
IN clean. digni6ed. systematic man
ner. He has visited the different sec
tons of the state, and from time to
time has published his views and ideas
on matters of public interest. He has
not raved. ranted nor denounced
Hav'ng nothing to explain he has not
been compelled to enlist the widows
ana orphans. He has not needed vim
dication
IN our opinion Mr.. Haines is con-
aocting his campaign in the manner
m which 1t should be conducted. With
clean record behind him he has
simply let the people know what he i.
ma what he has done. Being a prac-
zeal man of affairs from time to time
lie has simply expressed his opinion

THE DEMocRArs D1D tn.

The result of the Baltimore con
vention is more gratifying to the Re.
publican party than it can possibly b.
to the Democrats. The late conven.
ton was expected to ball things up
and did it so to ahappy fare-you-well
In such matters the Democrats can be
depended upon not to dissapoint. The
candidate of the party, Hon. Woodrow
Wilson, was not the choice of the
Democrats of the country. Hon.
Champ Clark came more nearly meet
ing with their ideas for the nomina-
ton. Without funds and making a
fight in any state which had favorite
son in the race Mr.. Clark won major
ity of the delegates. He was robbed
of the nomination by such delegations
as that from his state. The Idaho
delegation was instructed for Clark
but it ignored its instructions under
very slim provocation. Following the
lead of William Jennings Bryan, who
was instructed for Clark, it broke
away.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that Mr.. Bryan is one of the
original rule of the people" leaders.
lie has shouted more for the people
than any man in public life today.
However he construes, his own am
bition as that of the people; his own
desires as their mandate; his own in
deportation as their expressed will.
He did not hesitate to repudiate the
clearly expressed wish of the people of
Nebraska.
This is beside the question. The
Democrates did two things that will
please the Republicans. They headed
off the Roosevelt third party scheme.
Col. Roosevelt today has absolutely
no excuse for the organization of his
party. The Democrates nominated
the most radical candidate they had
and they did it according to the best
Roosevelt tactics. The Democrats
also nominated the weakest man they
had under consideration. We do not
see how the Republicans could have
done better had the Baltimore con-
vention been turned over to Root,
and other Taft leaders.
In state and nation the Democratic
oarty is badly demoralized. 1t is up in
he air. Woodrow Wilson, applicant
or a pension from the Carnegie fund
few months ago, now the candidate
or president. Woodrow Wilson,
ormer friend and protge of Col.
Harvey, Thomas Ryan ct al. now the
'adical of radicals in his friendship for |
he people. As stated the Democrats
IAN be depended upon to do the wrong |
hing at the right time. Woodrow
Wilson was it this time.

most progressive farmers; and q mar
well known and highly respected in
Payette. Parma has furnished the
only candidate for seate senator. OF
course the nomination of Mr.. Bald
ridge is not in question. However, he
will strengthen the ticket at the gen.
eral election, and it is fortunate that
Ne will not have to make a primary
campaign.
The office of sheriff is one of the
very important county Offices. The
leading candidate in our opinion is
Mr.. Breshears. He has splendid rec
ord behind him and seems naturally
adapted to the work. Mr.. Watkins
has made a good officer, but four
times he has been honored with his
party nomination. The average citizen
Is apt to think that Mr.. Watkins has
been sufficiently honored by the Re-
publicans. Mr. Baker is an unknown
quantity and We cannot place an esti-
mate of his strength throughout the
county.
For county Treasurer there are Will
Monk, the present incumbent and Mr..
c. A. Strong of New Plymouth. Mr..
Monk has served the county creditably
and faithfully. The disposition seems
to be to give Mr.. Monk another term
in the Office. Mr. Strong is said to be
competent man, and would make
good officer.
Miss Mabel Grace Carleton for su-
perintendent of schools, Mr.. A. o.
Christopher for assessor, Mr.. Fred
for surveyor, and Mr.. T.
K. Robinson for coroner, have abso-
lutely no opposition for the nomina-
tons. This would indicate that the
people are pretty we'll satisfied with
these candidates. With the exception
of Mr.. Robinson, these candidates are
now filling the offices to which they
aspire. If after two years in Office no |
opposition develops at all it is a pretty
good indication that they have made |
good officials.
Messrs. B. w. Henry and J. A. e.
ston are candidates for the county at
They are both good men
and professionally. Either

{ elected.
Messrs. D. D. Harger and w. c.
3icknell are candidates for probate
Judge. Mr.. Bicknell has not been
'esident of the county many months
tut he seems to show a willingness to
place himself on an equality with the
BID timers. Mr.. Harger is better
snown over the county, having lived
lere somewhat longer. He is a good
ttorney and could fill the Office to the
abstraction of all.

KEEPING HOME TRADE.

When a person who buys goods
freely out of town that could be had
at home, is asked why the foreign
merchant is perferred, one frequent
answer is, Il hate to go into home
store where l am known personally,
unless am sure am going to buy"
This of course is illogical. The old
fashioned merchant sometimes got
mad because the customer did not buy.
Experience teaches every seller of
goods, whether clerk or proprietor, to
make particular point of acting
good natured when the customer goes
away without buying. No one need
hesitate to examine goods on this
account.
Nevertheless, this feeling exists to
some extent. There is just one eff
fcient way of fighting against it, and
that is through advertising.
When an article is advertised at
tractively, the sale is0ractically made
when the newspaper is read. The
customer loses the aimless spirit and
goes straight to the man whose ac-
count of his wares was thus pleasing.
Under those circumstances, a GUS
toner not merely feels that she can
make the purchase without dissapoint-
ing some one, but that she has not
got to spend the time shopping all
over town to find what she wants.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

One hundred and thirty-six years
ago yesterday little band of insur.
gents, outraged at the selfish injus.
tice of the British King and Parlia-
ment, gathered in rickety little brick
building in Philadelphia and signed
a declaration of independence.
The peoples of all nations, and es-
pecially we of America, owe these men
debt of gratitude that can never be
paid. They took grave risk in sign
ing their names to that document, for
had the Revolution ended in a mere
rebellion. every mothers son of them
would have been hanged. BY this
risk which they grimly took with a
portentious earnestness. they gave
to the world a new form of govern
ment and to us a liberty such as is
enjoyed by the people of no other ma
ton.
There have been other republics.
some of which have long endured
There have been other governments
under which the people have enjoyed
certain forms of freedom greater than
do we Americans OF today. But never
before has there been a great nation
in which the every branch of govern
ment is so completely in the hands of
the people.
The United States has made many
mistakes. many of them grave. some
nearly. fatal But in every instance the
solid common sense of the people has
prevailed, and it is not too much TO
hope that the many grave problems of
today and the future will be solved
The Civil War was terrible mis-
take. There have been mistakes in
the tariff. in financial policies, in the
conduct OF Our foreign affairs, and in
every department of the government
The attack on the Constitution
during the present national campaign
was mistake. The over-weening am
o'tion OF one great leader causing the
attempt to foist third-term was a |
mistake. But the common sense and
the spirit of patriotism on the part
OF the people has prevailed and. we
believe. will continue to prevail
For all this We owe thanks to the
'igners OF the declaration we all read
once year-on the Glorious Fourth
The men who signed that document
had then in mind a scheme of gov
.rnment unprecedented. Later thew
rev up constitution which with few
,nanges. stands today. 1t has made
