POLITICS ARE
WARMING UP
Democrats Favor Hawley
for Reelection RE
publicans Worried
Especially,

Especially
: Boise, January 30.--The republican
leaders are still looking for guberna-
torial candidate with state wide fol-
lowing. None of those IN sight come mp
to the requirements, as none has more
than local following. The boom for
John NJ Haines, former mayor OF Boise,
is being systematically managed and
many letters haye been written to par
ties in all sections of the state in his
interest and Haines' club has been
organized in Boise, but there is no real
responsive enthusiasm and the boom Is
beginning to.run down at the heel just
like Auditor Taylor's candidacy, which
has practically run its course. The only
republican Of real state wide acquaint-
ance whose name has been mentioned is
former Governor John T. Morrison, but
he is extremely distasteful to the bosses
and unless the rank and file take up his
cause it is certain his name will not ap-
pear upon the primary ballot.
Among the democrats there is feel
ing that Governor Hawley should stand
for reelection and it is understood. he
will shortly make definite statement
as to his intentions. N. Alexander is
regarded as willing to make the race if
Governor Hawley declines, and with all
his eecentriciti es, Alexander is a vote
getter and is one of those business men
who is able to run the public business
with the same success he shows in his
private affairs.
In regard to the minor Offices, it is
certain there will be a scramble for aud
itor and attorney general. as the incum-
bents of these offices will retire at the
close of their present terms. For attor-
ney general there are indications of a
lively scrap between o. NJ. Van Duyn
and Joseph Peterson, both assistants
under McDougall From newspaper
comment it is evident that Van Duyn is
the favorite and this fact becoming so
apparent, it is thought probable that
Peterson will withdraw.

WOULD SAVE SWISS SCENERY
League Asks the Government Not to
Grant Concessions for Any More
Alpine Railways.

The Swiss Scenery Preservation so
ciety has presented 70 the govern
ment a memorial urgently calling
upon It not to grant concessions for
any more Alpine railways OF late
a strong feeling has arisen among the
more thoughtful and intelligent Swiss
that their country has already been
sufficiently exploited Many beautiful
passes and minor SUBMITS have been
disfgured by overhead electric rail-
ways or besmirched by smoking en-
zines. yet concessions for fresh noun
tain railways do not cease to be de
nanded. Quite recently as many as
fourteen we're before the government
at one time.
What has now aroused the Swiss
Scenery Preservation society to ener-
getic protest is the demand recently
addressed TO the government for .
concession for a cogwheel line from
Glion via Brochet. to Sonchaux. with
branch line from Brochet to Gaux.
This proposal they combat on the
ground that another eogwheel line al
ready exists in the neighhorhood
tGNor- -Rochers de Naye); that the
rev line would hopelessly dishgure
beautiful piece of Alpine scenery.
and that It is not justified by the cir
cumstances of the surrounding dis
trict.
