Accordingly he came to Mitchell

most money he had ever had up to

weeks, he went in With three other

not. He can practically dictate the
results of party caucuses upon i'm
portant measures, because he holds in
the hollow of his hand the fate of
nearly all the bills presented by all
the members.
In the last session this leader was
Underwood of Alabama. %hrousho
the entire session, Underwood had his
way. He never lost a single contest

Underwood took the mouey. So far
as known he was glad to get it. Ryan
was abundantly satisfied with him.
The point of all this is that even if
Wilson should be in the presidents
chair, the hand that will shape the
democratic legislation is the hand of
Underwood. Underwood has been
paid for by Ryan. If he does not ac-
knowledge the debt he will not only
refuse to give value received, but he
will change his entire course in pub
lie life, which has been so eminently
satisfactory to Ryan and his kind
that he was their choice for the pre-
gidency.

a competent, painstaking official who

abusive speeches, in his address at
Muscatine, la, Wednesday evening,
said:
while the Bull Moosers stand at
Armageddon and sing hymns in their
convention, still they are not standing
for a square deal. They do not offer
a square deal to the Taft supporters
in California or South Dakota, for
from them they have stolen the right
of expressing a preference as to their
presidential electors"
AS to South Dakota, Mr.. Bede
should revise his facts" For in this
state the electors have made IA signed
statement saying that while they are
for Roosevelt because of the indicat-
ed wish of the republican state ON
vention, they recognize they We're
chosen by Il republican convention
and that if it becomes a contest be-
tween Taft and Wilson for the pre-
sidency, their votes will go to Taft.
In other words. if the South Dakota
electors can by their votes make Taft
president, they will do so. This does
not mean that they Will not prefer
to make Roosevelt president, if their
votes will do SO, for every one of
them is a strong Roosevelt supporter.
However, they take note of the radi-
cal difference between the old demo-
cratic principles, on the II hand,
and the principles of the republican
and progressive platforms, both of
which may be classed as progressive
republican, on the other hand. SO
can say whether Taft or Wilson
should be president, their votes will
go to Taft without a moments hest
tation.
Now that means that the Taft fol-
lower will not lose his vote, or his
right to express his preference, for if
Taft does have IA chance of election,
the South Dakota electors would help
him back into the presidents chair.
OF course there is a marked differ
ence of opinions on the outcome. The
not in the race and many of the Taft
men are just as confident that he is
The leading candidate. Happily it is
not necessary to settle that dispute
now. 1t is necessary simply to say
that whichever one of the Two, Roose-
welt or Taft, can defeat Wilson, will
get the support of the South Dakota
electors.
This position is right and just and
in keeping with the authority that
chose the electors. 1t may be borne
in mind at all times that they were
selected by a republican state CON
vention and that no other power but
the convention itself can authorize
them to support any II not in the
republican party. The state conven-
ton did make Il specific eXcep-
ton in the case of Roosevelt, but the
electors cannot in good morals add
to that exception. The progressive
party has no existence in South Da-
kota. The Roosevelt support in this
state entirely from the repub-
lican party. The republican party in
South Dakota has simply said that
so far as it is concerned, all consid-
GRAFTON of the organization of a third
party in South Dakota should be post
poned.
So it is that the electors are not
compromising. They are simply show
ing their faithfulness to their trust,
their fidelity to the creative power
placed them upon the republican
ticket in South Dakota.

THAT DOG AGAIN.

Twin Falls has always claimed a
large population and it is generally
conceded that the last census did not
do justice to the growing city. In this
the Times fully agrees and also be-
lieves that if the dog population
could be counted that we could double
the census count without difficulty.
At least to the causual observer the
dogs of this city are as important or
more so than the bipeds owing to the
prevalence of the CANNES and the
manner in which they usurp the public
streets at the expense of the people
In plain unvarnished terms it is a
dog-gone shame the way worthless
ours are allowed to run at large and
cause runaways and other accidents
Dog fights in which the people have
to take to the road and give over the
sidewalks are too prevalent to be TAX
en- good naturally by the tax payers
This morning an elderly lady was
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1912-02-27

Knocked down near the postoffice by
several dogs in hot melee While not
severely injured the lady had to be
helped to her home. Some time ago
another lady was knocked down in a
similar manner and suffered a frac-
ture of her arm. There may be dogs
that are more highly priced by their
owners than the lives and safety of
the people, but to most of the people
dog is a dog and more ornamental
than useful. In fact the city ordinan-
ces show that the value of dogs is not
considered high enough to make them
problem if the matter is given at
tention. The ours are of no use and
should be exterminated without COM
Function. The dogs running loose on
the streets whether owning a collar
and dog tax or not are just as much
nuisance as loose COWS, pigs, horses
and chickens. Let the owners keep
them home on their own premises if
they are indispensable to the welfare
of the home, or if they persist in al
lowing them to run at large do so at
the known risk of having them taken
up and shot 1t is high time to make
Twin Falls streets look like those of
a city in regard to the dogs as we'll
as in other matters.

vestigation will prove that these state
ments are true for Twin Falls county
and yet on top of that Twin Falls
county will be represented to the state
at large as a Taft section. What is
the committee going to do about it?
Is 1t going on record as automatically
and arbitrarily tied to the Taft band
wagon or is it going to give the people
OF the county chance to voice it's
opinion?
With the declaration of Roosevelt
that he is candidate comes new
hope in the hearts of many of the
Republicans who have been wondering
how to avoid Taft-Harmon dilema.
Roosevelt today in this county can COM
mand more voters than Taft by long
odds and this the county committee
must know. What are they going to
do about it? Will they give the voters
a chance in a semiofficial primary to
snow their preference or will they ride
rough shod over the rights of the
majority? If it is the latter which
they decide it will mean another
county victory and divided house The
Times believes that primary conduct
ed with cautious service on the part
OF the judges and clerks could be call
ed that would decide the matter to the
satisfaction of all. If the Taft senti-
ment predominates then let the others
abide by such decision, but at present
no loyalty can be expected by the vot-
ers for choice in which they have
mad no voice, The Times will agree
to publish all necessary notices of
such informal primary free of charge
and give it all the publicity possible
in an effort to give the people rep
resentation on matter which con-
Germs them.

FRUIT GROWERS MEETING.
Interesting Discussion at Regular SeS-
sion of HOrticulturists.

The Twin Falls County Fruit Grow
ers association met in adjourned ses-
sion in the K, of P. hall yesterday.
The meeting was called to order by
}. A. Waters, president of the asso-
citation, who gave a very interesting
illustrated talk on the saving of a tree
which had been girded. He showed
that such condition can be overcome
without continued injury to the tree
by bridge grating limbs over the in
jury.
j. U. Mcpherson, state horticultural
inspector was then introduced and
spoke upon the methods of spraying
for aphis, coddling moth, etc. He
stated that high pressure spray with
| direct nozzle is absolutely necessary
for the destruction of the codling moth
such spraying must be given at the
time the calyt is open. Mr.. McPher-
! son further spoke upon the various
scales affecting trees in other sections
and advised the association to use the
utmost care to guard against these dan
gerous pests. AT the afternoon meeting

S. S. Neher advised the careful care
OF young orchard so as to have
every tree at it's best, showing the
financial advantage of having all trees
uniform. He also advised balancing
tree, entirely bare of limbs on the
west side, by budding in this vacant
spot, whereby eventually balancing the

State Inspector Mcpherson gave a
demonstrated talk on pruning showing
by several specimens the proper meth
cd of starting and developing the trees.
j. A. Waters also demonstrated in the
same line of thought.
A communication was read from the
state inspector in regard to the bill
which is now pending before congress
in regard to the size of apple boxes,
which is considered serious attack
upon the fruit industry of the north
west. Several of the northwest states
are sending Representatives to Wash

association decided to give $25 toward
the expense of sending Judge Fremont

stating that the commission men OF

on by being sold inferior fruit marked

seriously effected the popularity of

need of thinning fruit, stating that
this thinning should be done in the
early stages of the fruit, after the
drop is over.
j. R. Conway gave his experience
on cultivation and irrigation, stating
that he finds insense cultivation is
the correct method, never watering
unless the soil shows need. But he
also stated there is danger in culti-
waiting during the blossom time as it
will cause the apple to fall. He also
stated that he cultivated his orchard

RUPERT TOO STRONG.
High School Boys Lose to Fast Pioneer
Basket Ball Team.

A special train of Twin Falls root
ers went to Burley Saturday to at
tend the decisive game between the
Twin Falls and Rupert high school
boys for the championship of eastern
Idaho. In spite of the rooters and
some very clever and fast playing
Twin Falls did not have chance with
its faster and cleverer opponents and
lost by score Of Is to As. The Ru-
pert team throughout the entire game
showed form and generalship unequal
ed by the locals and the victory was
clean-cut one for them in every way.
The result throws Twin Falls boys out
OF the championship race.
