POLITICAL TALK
WILL NOT DOWN
Republicans Lining Up for
the Local Ticket With
Grouse for Mayor.
WILSON'S CHANCES BRIGHT
New York World Has Come
Out Strong for the Gov
ernor's Nomination.
WILSON'S CHANCES BRIGHT

Republican politics have been dis
cussed on every street corner in this
city, since Roosevelt's phenomenal
run at the primaries Tuesday, and
the ward leaders are already scan
ming the aldermanic timber for the
November campaign, which bears
promise of being the most interest
ing and important ever witnessed in
Perth Amboy. A mayor, three aid
ermen, a congressman, a state SEN
ator and president will be elected in
November. The G. O. P. has taken
the initiative and will shortly an
nounce an entire slate, it is expect
ed.
Grouse for Mayor.
According to Republicans on "the
inside" 1t looks very much like Ira
r. Grouse for the mayoralty nomin-
alton on that ticket. His candidacy
has not been officially announced,
although many rumors have been
heard of the probability of such a
nomination. Mr. Grouse is expect
ed to lead the Republicans to vic
tory, because of the alleged split in
the Democratic ranks. Following
the turn down" of w. Parker Run
yon at the polls Tuesday, it is de-
clared by the Republicans that the
Jeffersonian party will have a warm
and disastrous factional fight upon
its hands next November,
The same rumor bears the news
that Harry R. Wilson, president of
the Young Mems Republican club,
will be nominated as the aldermanic
candidate in the first ward; William
Hilker In the third, and Martin S.
DusChock in the fifth.
Wilson'S Chances Bright.
The real fight for the nomination
Of Woodrow Wilson by the Demo-
cratic party at Baltimore is now on
Previously 1t was but gentle
breeze compared to the storm of the
present. The New York World,
which influences more Democratic
voters than any other newspaper in
the United States, came out yester-
day for the New Jersey governor.
He Is declared by the World as the
logical and only possible successful
candidate the Democrats can name.
Governor Wilson's sweep of New
Jersey Is the direct cause of the
Worlds action. and the desire Of
many to get on the band-wagon. "
1t Is now conceded that Wilson has
more than an even chance OF secur-
ing the nomination at Baltimore,
despite all efforts of the bosses to
the contrary.
Later and more complete returns
from Middlesex county and the
Third Congressional District have
caused no change in the standing
Of the district delegate candidates.
The Roosevelt men, including
Adrian Lyon. Of this city, and Clar-
ence Hetrick, Of Asbury Park, are
elected by substantial majorities, as
announced In the EVENING NEWS
Wednesday. Roosevelt majorities
were recorded in every county In
the district, which includes Middle
sex, Monmouth and Ocean. Judge
Lyon Is confident of Roosevelt's sue
cess at Chicago, and predicts the
nomination of the colonel on an
early ballot

from eer exhaustion, William
Chalme.. twelve years old, son of
James Chalmers of 90 Catalpa ave-
nue., was drowned while bathing
near the Rossi dock at the foot of
Catalpa avenue about o'clock yes
terday morning. He could swim but
little and sank while returning from
a stake to a duckboat he had dived
from. His thirteen year old broth
er, James, Jr., and Nels Youngberg,
fifteen years old, chum, made
futile attempt to rescue the drown
ing lad. They swan to his side
when he came to the surface and
tried to hold him above water, as
he struggled frantically. His death
struggles were too much for them
and they were compelled to let go
and see him sink. The body was
recovered about two hours after
ward by Charles Grover and young
Palmer.
First Drowning This Season.
The accident, the first of it's kind
this year, came with the real open
ing of the outing season yesterday.
1t cast a gloom over the Chalmers
family and the many young friends
of the little victim.
Coroner James ]. Flynn took
charge of the body after it's recov-
cry. He gave a permit for its re-
moval to the Chalmers home. Sad
indeed were the moments that fol-
lowed after the dead form, wrapped
in canvas, had been carried into
the house. Mrs. Chalmers cried and
wrung her hands. Mr.. Chalmers
was also visibly affected and their
children sobbed and cried.
Dived From Duck Boat.
According to the story of the ac-
c1dent told today to Coroner Flynn,
VIM. Chalmers was swimming with
his brother, James, Jr., and a num-
ber of other boys near his home at
the foot of Catalpa avenue. William
could swim but little and therefore
he was watched. He dived from a
Guckboat and swan successfully to
q stake about fifteen feet away.
While returning from the stake he
sank. Boys swimming and persons
on shore spent trying moments as
James Chalmers and Neys Youngberg
worked trying to rescue the drown
ing lad. They were forced to dis
pairingly give up when they were al
most ready to sink themselves.
The funeral services will be held
at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Rev. James H. Northrup will off,
ciate and interment will follow in
Alpine cemetery.

II the actions OF II. Harland, Mas
ter OF the Idaho State Grange bear
fruit Idaho farmers may yet be able
to dispose Of their seed which BY
reason OF the iron clad provisions OF
The Idaho Pure Seed law they have
been unable to sell up TO this time.
In every community there are thou
sands OF bushels OF seed that have
been cleaned and yet with all the
care possible 10 take the growers
find they are unable TO dispose OF
i largely for the reason that the
provisions CT the Idaho State Pure
Seed law are such that it Is almost
impossible for them to comply with
them. The same is true OF the seed
buyer consequently he is chary Of
buying and the grower dare not sell.
State Master Harlnad and Harry t.
Lewis representing the Grange went
to Boise Monday Of this week to
interview Governor Hawley on this
subject. The Governor felt about
the matter great deal as do a
large majority Of the farmers Of
this section and while 1t was not
clear 10 him just what could be
done at present he agreed with the
that some steps should be
taken IL possible to relieve the sit
uatiOn- Arrangements were made
whereby at an early date a confer
once will be held between the Gov
erncr. Prof Carlyle Of Moscow and
the Attorney General and an effort
viii be made TO relieve the situation.

Tuesday of this week graders be-
gan making the fill from the main
line Of the Oregon Short Line to the
turning Y of the Payette Valley Rail
road. A connection will be built
and from now on the Payette Val
ley Railroad will use the railroad
bridge and main line Of the Short
Line in getting into the city. 1t will
take some time for this connection
to be built and in the meantime all
freight and mail has to be transferr-
cd by team across the river. But
with the completion Of the new cut
over the delays caused heretofore by
damage to the bridge will be avoided
as the construction Of the Short
Line bridge is such as to defy al
most any sort Of high water or any
sized ice gorges that are liable to
accumulate in the Payette river.

ICE GORGtS DO
GREAT DAMAGE
Warm Weather and Rains Raid
Riverside Moves In Payette and
snake-Payette Valley Railroad
Bridge Destroyed-snake River
Bridge In Danger for Time But
Saved by Strenuous Efforts.

The warm rains Of the past few
days melted sufficient snow TO raise
the rivers and cause the ice in the
Payette and Snake Rivers to move
resulting in considerable damage. The
railroad bridge of the Payette Val
ley Railroad was taken out Friday
evening and only by strenuous work
and the use of dynamite was the
second span OF the new bridge across
the Snake River saved.
Friday afternoon big jam OF
about five acres of ice formed
back OF the Payette Valley Rail-
road bridge and two or three bents
on the west side Of the river were
taken out. No further damage oc-
Cured from this jam and the bridge
held in fair shape and by some it
was thought that the big jam would
gradually go out through the open
ings left where the three bents were
taken out. About six-thirty Friday
evening a big gorge that had been
dynamited loose up near Falks
Store reached Payette and added its
pressure to that already against
the bridge. There was fully fifteen
acres of ice in both gorges and
when the second and larger one
struck the pilings on the bridge
snapped like matches and the ties
stringers, rails and all were swept
along by the resistless force. Part
of the bridge lodged against the o.
S. L. bridge and the balance was
located at Crystal Bottom on
sand bar in the Snake River.
There was a great deal Of appre-
honsion felt regarding the false
work on the second span of the
Snake River bridge. Some steel had
been run out on this false work
and the woFkmen were just about
ready TO swing the second span
when the ice began moving. Hur-
riedly what steel could be drawn in
was brought back and the balance
was fastened with cables. BY lib
eral use OF dynamite to burst up
the gorges as they lodged against
the false work the most of it was
saved and no steel was lost but ALI
night Friday night and a big part
Of Saturday forenoon the crew w2s
busy dynamiting the ice.
