1t is not probable that Secretary
Of State Clifford will have any oppo-
siticn to his second term, in view
of the excellent record he has made.
1t is the whole truth to say that
so far there has been almost no pub
lie activity among the democrats CT
the state, concerning state offices.
This, however, is due to other rea-
sons than lack Of candidates and
lack Of confidence Should the re-
publicans pledge for Taft at thei
state convention, against what the
democratic leaders know is the wish
of the majority of the republican
voters, the woods will be filled with
jubilant democratic candidates for
every office in the state. The qui-
etude which prevails is not to be
for meekness or fear, un-
der the conditions which prevail in
the state today

RED HOT FIGHT IN BOISE.
Commission Form VS.. Old Charter
at the Polls Today.

The biggest little event in the
state of Idaho for at least a year is
being pulled eff today (Friday) in
Boise. 1t is the election to decide
whether the city will at least tenn
porarily suspend its special charter,
and try the new commission form of
city government under the general
state law passed by the legislature
year ago. The old charter was be-
gun more than forty years ago, and
has been patched and doctored every
few years since, until whatever of
antique and distinctive remains is
pretty well concealed. As each char
ter ~mendment is presented by In
terested individuals, and is never
ratified by public vote, it is a very
open question whether it represents
the public will 1t is passed upon
by outsiders, net interested in Boise,

even wager that the new. popular
fern of government will carry at
the election.
One Of the NEST interesting news
paper fights in years has been made
by the Capital News, fer the new
form Of government. Opposed by
a host CT men with check books,
against the advice of politicians and
profits cf every material kind, it
has made as pretty a fight as the
most warlike could wish 1t takes
money and courage to take the stand
the News has taken, and the pecDle
Of Boise are to be congratulated on
having champion of that sort.
