The Parma herald. (Parma, Idaho) 1903-1917, 1912-05-16

y future Of Idaho politics, Now
Mr. Dubois has signiAed his de
sire to drop all past differences
% and work solely for the good g
% the democratic party. His for
inner opponents should meet him
lat Ieast half way. Mr.. Clark has
S lhonored Mr.. Dubois by selecting
: Thin az his campaign manager.
The Herald believes. despite past
/, differences with Mr. Dubois, that
Speaker Clark has chosen wisely,
and in spite OF the Ada County
Bar, Mr.. Clark will be nominated
and ex-senator Dubois will be
lsent as one OF the delegates to
Baltimore as Mr.. Clark's repre-
sentative.
Throughout the term OF its
existence, the Herald has been
opposed to Mr.. Dubois on GER
tain principles. MIR. Dubois
states that insofar az he is con-
cerned he has ceased opposition
along those lines. 1t would be
childish, and absolutely unwar-
ranted in the Herald, to continue
opposition to Mr.. dubois after
such a declaration. The demo-
cratic party OF Idaho has lost.
more campaigns and more oppor-
tunities to do good for the poo
pie Of Idaho than we like to re-
member, because OF the differ
ences that have existed in the
party. The people on one side
OF this controversy people
who began the fracas--now say
they want to quit. II they be
honest-and we believe they are
honest--there should be no cause
for contention. anywhere in the
democratic ranks in Idaho.
The election OF Mr.. Clark as
president OF the United States
means infinitely more than the
success or demolition OF ex-Sen-
atOr Dubois. It means d gov
ernment that will give to the peo-
pie OF every portion OF the
United States equal and exact
justice. 1t means that the home
steader will receive the same con-
sideration as the multi-nillion
aire manufacturer. IL means
thnt the industries and the op-
lportunities OF the West will not
be handicapped by the orders of
"a Jew forty-oollar-a-month EN-
ployes OF the department. of the
interior. ltmeBns that Pinchot-
ism will no longer prevail in
idaho. 1t means new life and
new vigor impaired to every
thing that tends to the upbuilu
ing OF this country. For those
reasons we desire to see MIR.
Clark elected, and we desire the
help tn further that event of ev-
cry voter in the United States,
Including Senator Dubois. III
makes no difference to us who
ASSISTS in bringing welfare to
The people; all we want is enough
votes to elect II person who will
succeed in bringing about the
desired results.
Unlike the Ada county com
mittee and the Ada county bar.
We are not afraid of Mr.. Dubois.
We have been up against him for
twenty-five years. and at all
times we have found him a
worthy opponent and a man OF
his word. We presume that the
Herald has opposed Mr.. Dubois
rs iervently as any paper. poll.
tician or citizen OF Idaho. We
did IL because we believed IN
principles other than those adj
yocated by him. Since he has
indicated Il desire to relegate
past differences to the rear, and
further indicated the desire not
to revive those differences, we see
no reason whatever for continu.
ing a fight that has lost Idaho
to the democratic party for
years. The party should be will
ing to fight with MIR. Dubois
rathar than against him, if for
no other reason than that he il.
perhaps, the most astute poIiti-
clan IN the United States today.
Along certain lines. Mr. Dubois
has been the best friend that
Idaho ever had. The only differ
ence that has existed between
Mr.. Dubois and the majority of
