REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE
Believes It Important That Senator
Borah Should be Returned to WASH
ington-More Important That an
Instructed Delegation, He Says.

In the opinion of District Judge
Alfred Bulge of this city it is more
important that Republican legisla.
ture be elected this year so that Sen.
ator Borah may be returned to Wash.
ington, than that the state sent an
instructed delegation to the national
convention.
, While passing through Spokane the
other day on his way to Coeur d'Alene
City, to hold court for Judge Dunn,
Bulge was quoted by the Spokesman
Review as saying
Senator Borah's term expires in
March and we must elect Republi-
can legislature to send him back to
the senate, and this is the agency
which is making party leaders all ever
the state careful to avoid clashes in
the several counties where we are de-
pendent upon Republican legislators
being elected. y
Judge Bulge is an active candidate
for the supreme bench to succeed
Chief Justice Stewart.
At the end of his first term of four
years as district Judge, the rival can
didate withdrew in his favor and at
the end of his second term he re-
ceived the unanimous Endorsement of
the bar, and Republicans and Demo-
Gratis united in voting for him. I'm
der the Idaho constitution the su-
preme justices are authorized to call
district judge to take the place of
an absent or disqualified supreme Jus
tice, and under this law Judge Bulge
has already occupied seat on the
supreme court bench and written a
number Of important decisions. Dur
ing his entire career as district Judge.

MORE ABOUT GOOD ROADS

Washington, May 10-Because of
the extended debate on the proposition
to extend federal aid to the construc-
tion Of state roads, there has been talk
of having meetings of the House CT
Representatives at night in order that
the business before it might be finish
ed SO that an adjournment could be
taken before the National conventions
are held. However, Mr.. Mann of III
inois asserted that there would be no
trouble in getting away by June 1st If
the Senate would but get its work
done. Nevertheless, the date when
Congress will adjourn seems to BE- as
much in doubt now as it has been at
any time during the session.
Talking about appropriations for
roads. the House had long debate
over the question. MIR. Mann of lii
nois said he recognized the fact that
probably the time had come when the
National Government in some form or
other would give aid out of the Fed.
eral treasury for the construction OF
roads, and he believed that whether
the Shackelford bill would involve
present expense of $4,000, 900 or $780,
100000 a year, the expense would
amount ultimately to hundreds of mil
lions CT dollars.
