Session Notable for Its Tenseness.

name has long headed the list of avail
able dark horses
Senator Gronna of North Dakota told
the La Toilette delegation today that
they were recreant to the trust imposed
upon them by the presidential preference
primary. which instructed for the Wis
consin senator by a majority of more
than 1o.O0. The North Dakota deiega-
ton supported Gov McGovern for tenn
porary chairman. according to Senator
Gronna, after having caucused before the
session TO support Judge Lauder. Senator
Gronna is the whip of the delegation. He
said this morning:
In voting for McGovern against the
express wishes of La Toilette. the dele
gates betrayed their trust. 1t was po-
litical jobbery and causes are not hard
to discover
The Roosevelt men from North Dakota,
who are on the ground trying to sway the
delegation. declare that after the first bal
lot they have at least seven of the dele
gates vino will not stand by and see Taft
nominated if their votes can prevent it.
Leaders Plan to "Get Together"
The big leaders in both camps have had
Atheir heads together all forenoon discuss
ing ways and means OF possibly bringing
some semblance of party order out of this
chaos. Even in the Roosevelt camp are
some republicans who pause to consider
stake in the outcome of this work be-
You'd personal ambition of candidates.
After the delegates themselves arrived
in town they began to view the outlook
with dismay. They found everything SUBJ
ordinated TO the ambitions of the candi-
dates. All these people are thinking Of
their own local and state conditions and
they can see the party going onto the
rocks while the officers are fighting among
themselves on the bridge.
They beginning raaIf1a hot
there is great pressure in the con-
test. but that ii is entirely personal The
shouts of fraud and theft are un-
derstood to be for effect only, and the
average delegate is inclined to stand by
the action of the committee which de-
cdeS contests.
So out of all these considerations there
is coming today a steady drift of senti-
ment toward getting together" and that
means picking a compromise candidate il
matters grow worse.
Talk Infuriates Colonel.
Naturally Roosevelt is furious at the
dark horse talk.
Il am the compromise candidate" is his
! motto.
But just the same it is buzzing through
the hall with the persistent drone of a
swarm of bees.
OF course. this all looks to the morrow.
after there has been another test of
| strength. Roosevelt will try to go through
ostensibly regular. and Taft men have not
| lost hope.
| Probably the chief significance of the
dark horse talk is in indicating growing
! determination of rank and file not to fol-
| low the colonel if he bolts.
! All other considerations. however, will

vote will come about O'Clock this even

In response to an inquiry launched
by Low, who desired to learn the

that the ordinance still reposed in the

POLITICAL NEWS AND NOTES

Prince Kuhio sailed this morning
for Hawaii, where he Will address a
mass-meeting at Hilo Thursday night.
Owing to existing conditions here he
will be away but afweek instead of
two weeks, as originally planned.
Through Charles Motley of the
Home Rule party, Hawaiians living
on Maui have asked Kuhio to stop ov-
er and address them, and he will prob
ably do so on his return trip, it is
said.
Charles Chillingworth is credited
with making a decided hit with the
Hawaiians in his speech in the native
tongue at the MASH meeting last night.
THE avoidance by Kuhio of refer
ence to his controversy with Frear in
his speech last night won him friends
among those who had formerly oppos-
ed him." said J. H. Hakuole, secretary
of the Kuhio campaign committee,
this morning.
There will be a meeting at KuhiC

Mr.. Andrews referred to the little

that the Republican party was not
strong enough to hold a ratification

the only Republican Delegate Hawaii
ever had in Congress, VIII" had done
great things for the Territory, which
the speaker rapidly sketched.
In differing from the Governor on
matters of policy, the Delegate was
only exercising his rights according to
the principles of the Republican par
ty. The Delegate was not attacking
the business interests, but was work
ing to save our Territorial govern
ment. They came here as loyal Re-
publicans and their purpose was TO
place the best ticket possible in the
field and to make 1t victorious. He

r. w. Aylett was called from

raised a laugh by his opening re-
mark that he had blown his horn
there before. After saying it. was

nominees and the Delegates candi-

Woodrow Wilson's Siur.
A. ID. Castro was introduced as a
representative of the Southern Euro
pean immigrants whom Woodrow
Wilson stigmatized in one of his
books as the scum of the earth.
He said he was sorry to be loid that
the Democratic presidential candidate
held his race in such low esteem.
Proceeding, he paid high tribute TO-
PRESIDENT Taft and then strongly
oensured the central committee for
refusing to call a ratification meet
ing. In almost any place on the
mainland such a derelict central
committee would be asked to resign.
Z Senator Cecil. Brown was intro
duced as business man, with the
remark that the Hawaiian speaker
due for next call had disappeared.
This proved to be a Breckons joke, ]
for Mr.. Brown spoke in Hawaiian,
advocating the endorsement of Ku-

the Territory faithfully for many
years and was we'll liked in Wash

AILSHIE ONLY MAN NORTH
CAN WIN WITH, SAYS TRIBUNE
South Idaho Paper Deals Frankly With Political History
and the Contest for Short Term Senatorial
Honors in Idaho

Will political history repeat it.
self in north Idaho? The Tri-
bune is led to make this inquiry
in view of the senatorial situation.
For some years north Idaho
has been restless about an alleg-
ed undue proportion of state tax
es that it has paid and it's lack
of political representation. A care
full review of the situation, how
ever, shows that north Idaho is
alone to blame if it is not receiv-
ing its full share of political rec
ognition.
Under the next administration
north Idaho will have but one
member upon the state board of
equalization and the state land
board, and no member at all on
some of the other boards. This
is the fault alone Of the northern
portion of the state, because the
people of north Idaho neglected
to support their own candidates
for nomination. The significance
of this condition of affairs will
be recognized in view of the fact
that nine-tenths of the business
of the state, outside of the leg
islature, is conducted by state
boards. Then, again, the guber-
material primary contest is still
fresh in the public mind. With a
view to equitable distribution of
official honors, the southern part
of the state was willing to con-
cede the republican nomination
Tor governor to north Idaho. The
north instead Of uniting upon one
good, strong man, and giving him
loyal support, came out with a
multitude of candidates, SO that
there was no hope Of any one
OF them winning the honor. The
result was that the stronger as
pirants, mem who might have been
nominated and elected, withdrew
from the contest, leaving the field
to Paul Clagstoney with the re-
suit as known.
Now comes the contest for
United States senator. It has
been an unwritten law since the
days of statehood that the north
should have one senator and the
south one. The south has a sena-
tor and will continue to have
senator, in the person of William

Lar for dollar on the investment
at the hands of our present board.
What we want now is harmonious
action both on the part of the
board and the citizenship-it is
the only way to get good results,
and no one who is looking to the
interests of the community will
start out with chip on his shoul-
der and determined to start trou-
bile if he cannot have things just
as he wants them.
The election resulted in a vote
of $50 being cast, with 81 votes
against and 1863 for the bonds,
being a four to one decision with
10 votes to spare. The pupils Of
the school were great boosters for
the bonds; they carried around
the petitions and secured signers
favoring the election, they help
ed rustic out the voters on elec-
tion day, and when the result was
announced they ran to the various
churches and made the bells all
peal out the glad news to the en-
tire country surrounding. The
very happiness of the children is
worth two years of interest on the
bonds-happiness is the only sat
isfactory thing we get out of this
life anyway, and when it is hap
piness over a worthy cause, it is
the kind to encourage. Bless the
youngsters anyway, they are just
ly entitled to the very best the
world contains.

+. Borah, who will be re- elected
at the coming session for the six
year term. The short term sena-
tor therefore, is looked upon in
the north as belonging to the
north, and it is not surprising in
view of past political history to
find that portion of the state di-
Vlded as to whom the northern
senator should be. Each county
is bringing forth its favorite son,
just as it did in the contest for
governor.
Judge Ailshie or a Southern Man.
There is at this time just one
man in north Idaho that is look
ed upon as of senatorial stature,
from statewide standpoint.
That man is Judge James F. ALL
SHE. The Tribune is not to be
understood as casting any reflec-
tlons upon any other aspirants
whose names have been mention
ed from the north. There are
men of splendid capacity and of
unquestioned integrity, whose
names have received favorable
comment, but the best that they
could command would be merely
a local support, and every COM
plimentary vote thus given will
lessen the chances for a northern
man to win the senatorial toga.
Judge Ailshie can bring to his
candidacy support from every
part of the state. His great abil-
ity, and long and honorable pub
lie service have won for him a
high place in the public estimation
The north should realize the fact
that the junior senator from Ida
no will be either Judge Ailshie
or a south Idaho man.
This condition of affairs in
north Idaho is a matter that does
not especially concern the Tri-
bune, or the people of south Ida
no. If the north desires to play
the imbecile in this political con-
test, it is no funeral of the Tri-
bune, nor the people of south
Idaho. The south appreciates
the generosity of the north in
permitting us to have the govern
orship, and there are several
splendid, ambitious men who will
be glad to have the short term
senatorship on the same terms
