ton on the matter Is not exactly clear,
out his operation is as clear as day.
We will go back to the last campaign.
Thus it can be seen that Hawley open
y encouraged the defeat Of the real
intent Of the people on direct primary.
Hawley's attitude on the matter really
constitutes the worst crime. and his
veto Of the bill confirms the idea that
he desires unlawful participation in
primaries by partyites Of any. des-
cription. or any .affiiiaticn so long as
they are operating in his interest The
position is wrong; it is manifestly un-
lawful on intent If not on the code.
Had Hawley desired to stop the de-
plorable pras t;ce Of manipulating crock
ed primaries he would have signed the
bill; that would have made it imposci-
BILE for parties to do that sort Of
thing, but he vetoed the bill without
grounds, hence there Is only one con-
clusion: he sought and DELFT erately 81 i.
couraged evasion Of the law.

ON COM.
MUNlTY PROPERTY

The women Of the state Of Idaho
should recall the circumstances that
Hawley vetoed the legislative enact
ment defining community property.
Any rightfu! system of constituted Jaw
implies that the wife shall share equal
ly in the community property, or in
other words shall share the pos.
sessions of a family to an equal de-
gree with her husband.
Hawley vetoed that law.
He cited as his reason that in the
event tha title to property was invol-
we'd. or, for instance, it became neces.
sary to handle property in the courts,
that the husband was the primary fac
tor, that it would entail too much ex-
pense to the state, and otherwise, to
consider joint relationship In the
property Of the matrimonial alliance.
Thus he stood on the ridiculous DO
sition of citing expense as his rea-
son for denying women the right to b..
come equal partners in the possession
Of property, and the women of Idaho
should not forget that.

WILSON AND THE INTERESTS

While Governor Wilson stands on
the pedestal Of aristocracy and with a
long face extolls his own "virtuous"
ideas, while he taxes his lusty vocal
capacity with stock expressions Of
Down with Bossism,' Down with
the trusts Down with corrupt poll
TICS" Let the people rule etc. down
in the amen" corner you will find
Murphy, Sullivan, Parker, Taggart and
many other applicants for and sup
porters of special interests, and Demo
cratic political bosses, who are also
supporters Of Mr.. Wilson, quietly and
exultantly 'winking the other eye"
and in low whisper echoing the
professors cry, "sure, let the dear
people rule"

Of this prohibition they will profit by
the votes Of disgruntled Bull Moo sers.
Nothing but Democratic mule, i'm
bued. with the obtuse dispositicn Of
that proverbial animal, would have the
nerve to encourage the launching Of
third term ticket, then by means Of
its hired attorneys ball up the pro-
ceedings so that the candidates could
not legally be placed on the ballot and
yet claim that in consideration of such
valuable services rendered, the fol-
lowers Of such defeated party would
flock to the Democratic standard anc
vote their ticket as a soothing syrup
for their wounded feelings. There is
no philosophy known to man, except
dog philosophy" by which such a de-
duction could be made. 1t Is said that
a dog will turn and lick the hand that
injured it. but that is not ordinarily
true in politics.
So in this instance the Democrats
are responsible for the launching OF
the third party ticket in Idaho; they
are likewise responsible for its defeat;
yet they have the nerve to think that
such trickcry willwin thom votes from
the honest electors Of this state. In
the language Of Shakespeare, "Scat"

nAwLevs VETO ON PRIMARIES

The last session Of the legislature
passed an amendment to the direct
primary law. That amendment was a
vital item in determining the right Of
the elector and placed him in consist.
ent line with his own party, in other
words the intent Of that amendment
was to so clear the direct primary
law that 1t would make it impossible
for partisans Of any particular party
to- participate In the primary Of any
other party. It's intent was to define
Republican, Democrat, Socialist
or any other partyite, and had it gone
through, as passed by the legislature,
much of the trouble that was occas-
toned during the primary campaign
would have been avoided.
Since the direct primary became a
law it has been well established fact
that partyites Of various faiths partici
pated Unfortunately in the primar.
les. Several marked instances were
brought out during the last primary
campaign, when, because of local con-
ditions, Republicans were herded into
Democratic primaries and vica versa.
Had that amendment become a law,
this condition would have been impos-
sible for the reason that the amend.
ment required specifically that the
voter should state his politics upon
entering the booth.
That would have defined the voter
position and made it impossible fol-
him to affiliate with the primaries OF
any other party.
That amendment did not become g
law for the reason that it was vetoed
by Governor Hawley. Hawley's posi-

Our Aberdeen editor has gone wild
with enthusiasm over his Influence, .
whatever that may be, upon the poll
teal situation in Aberdeen precinct.
However, the wise ones in that pre-
cinct say that he will wake up the
morning after election with his air
castles demolished, his hopes and am
billions ruthlessly shattered. Judging
from the Primary returns Aberdeen is
easily a Republican precinct. There
Is no reason why it should not be so.

PROTECTION OR NOT?

Woodrow Wilson says that the far
mer and laboring man do not need
protection against the products Of cour
tries whose farmers and laborers do
not live according to American stand
ards. Perhaps the professor is judy
ing the farmer and laboring man by
himself, but he should remember that
the farmer and laboring man are eligi-
BILE to. Carnegie pensions such as the
professor made application for in his
own behalf.

TAX RECEIPTS

Some of the Democrats are much
insensed about Mr.. John NJ. Haines'
slogan, take your tax receipts with
you to the polls and to get even
with Mr.. Haines they do not intend to
get out the notices until after cleo
ton, judging from the lack Of activity
in that line. The notices should have
been mailed before this date. Could it
be possible that they are afraid to
have you see your tax notices before
election?

WILSON'S RxiasoW CHASE

While 1t is complimentary to the
West as a factor In politics, Prof.
Wilson's tour through this section
strikes us as waste Of time. His
swing in our direction, which has Just
started, will take him through In
diana, Illinois, Nebraska, Colorado,
Kansas, Missouri and Ohio His visit
is a recognition of the fact that the
Middle West will have large weight
in the electoral college. The professor
sees that this section will be the bat
tie ground in the campaign Each of
the three patries has branch head
quarters for its committee in Chicago,
and this branch is the radiating cen
ter Of more real activity at this mo-
ment than is that at New York. A
good deal Of territory is to be covered
here, and the direction OF the cam
paign in this quarter in all Of the par
ties is in the hands Of capable men.
But Prof. Wilson's tour through
seven or eight of the states on each
side of the, Mississippi looks like a
wild-goose chase. The professor iS
not popular in this region. This is a
Republican section. All the recent in.
dications point to Republican vic.
tory in almost every state in this 10
cality which has generally Leen won
by the Republicans. The only hope
which the Democrats have had Of get
ting any Of these states rested on the
assumption that Col Roosevelt would
take away enough votes from the Re
publican ticket to allow the Demo.
cratic candidates to squeeze in. At tfe
present moment this looks like an il
fusion. The colonel has been here
once or twice in the past few months
but his visit seems; to have done hi
harm He is losing ground in this
quarter rather rapidly. For a few
weeks the audacity of his programme
attracted some interest for him, and
threatened to give him many votes
from among men who, otherwise
would support the Republican, ticket
The novelty of the colonels candi
dacy, however, has worn off, and he
may now be dismissed as negligible
quantity in most of the WESTERN states
Prof. Wilson viii discover on his
tour that the Republican voters in
this section will resist all attempts tc
assassinate their party. Thy see that
every vote which they would give to
| Roosevelt would. indirectly, count TO,
1 the Democratic candidate. No valid
reasons present itself to them why
| they should contribute to the defeat
] Of their own party this year. On the
| other hand, they see many reasons
why they should endeavor to roll UP
as large a, majority as possible fol-
] their ticket. Their stake In the main.
tenance Of prosperity lie too large to
permit them to endanger that condi
ton. The professor will find that
there has been a drift in the West to-
ward Mr.. Taft snice he was here q
few weeks ago. which indicates that
