Over In Fremont county they are
framing up for a merry time in a
county division election, and a
small county seat war has arisen
between Rigby and Menan. In the
last issue of the Rigby Satrit is
noted that Senator John Harris posi-
ton is neutral" One always knows
where Hart is on any proposition,
and that is neutral, until the warm
breath Of a winning cause begins
TO fan him to the point where he
can get in front OF II and permit
Il TO blow him along to success. Yea.
verify, John Is some neutral and
there is no fiction connected with
that.

According to plans now under
way by Captain E. G. Davis, presi-
dent of the Lincoln Day Banquet
association, it is figured that ban
quets will be given in each county
for the benefit of Republicans who
are unable to attend the big affair
in Boise.
1t is a g~et-together occasion for
Republicans and an affair that car
ries much OF the good spirit of
party, and the new feature of hold
ing county celebrations and institut-
ing a banquet at a cost of about one
dollar a plate is entirely in line
with plans for organization.
James r. Stotts, now in the game
department, has been named as
secretary of the Banquet associa-
ton, the appointments being en-
tirely in the hands of President
Davis. This week vice-presidents
were named for each of the nine
judicial Districts.
John r. Jones was named as the
vice-chairman for the fifth district,
which embraces five counties. while
no definite plans have been set
this early in the game as to the
holding of a district banquet or
county banquet it is highly probable
that in due time such an event will
be held in Power county, and in
the district Pocatello would doubt
less be the point selected for the
five counties.
The appointments in full are as
follows:
II. F. Samuels Of Wallace for the
first district, composed of Shoshone
county; George r. Crum of Lewis
ton for the second district, composed
of Latah. Nez Perez, Clearwater,
Lewis and Idaho counties; l.. w.
Ensign Of Boise for the third dis
trict. composed of Ada, Boise and

PocatelIo VIII Vote August 10 for
General Public Improvement

Provided the people approve tho
plan, Pocatello on August Ia will
take another long step toward ba-
coming the best city in Idaho. On
that date the proposition of ~issuino
$4,000 worth of municipal improve
ment bonds will be submitted m
vote Of the people. The money tins
raised will be used n the construc-
ton of two new concrete bridges
across the Portneuf river, acquiring
two public park sites, grading new
streets, lining the east side city
ditch with concrete, changing some
defective sewers and paving street
intersections. An ordinance calling
for a special bonding election on
the date named was passed under
suspension of the rules at an ad-
Journed session of the city council.
That the bonds will carry is the
firm belief of all the members OF
the council who have sounded septi-
ment among their constituents and
who feel that this opportunity to
equally distribute over a term OF
years the cost Of necessary public
Improvement will be endorsed at
the polls.

Capital News 10 somewhat in
terested In the ability of the Re
publican party to hold the Mormon
vote In the southeast. Rather
say that paper. being the mouth
piece for a third party movement
last year, is endeavoring to figure
what chance there might be to alien
ate the Mormon vote from the Re
publican party and ally 1t with
the third party. In other words,
a bid Is made in subtle form. The
disruption OF the Republican party
by the Capital News adherants was
attempted last fall and this early In
the game there rs an apparent at
tempt TO try IL again, in different
manner. At cursory glance It can
readily be recognized that but few
Mormons will ally themselves with
the Democratic party, inasmuch as
many appointees thus far made in
Idaho are Dubois Democrats. Hence
II may reasonably be assumed that
they are l~evel-headed enough to
know when they are well anchored.

feeting observance without paying
sufficient attention to details, to
get the wires crossed. The latest
along this line is the Caldwell Tri-
Dune, which jumps hastily to the
defense OF Governor Haines be-
cause of the widespread comment
mat has been regarding the mere
suggestion that Senator Davis is
'governor-size." A publication here
and there has jumped at the con
clusion that Senator Davis rs an
active candidate. He has not said
so. Neither has any paper. The
Pocatello Tribune, In commenting on
men In the political field, estimat-
ed Senator Davis as "governor-size."
II might be construed as a nomina-
ton but the senator was not pre-
sented az a candidate, but spoken
OF as a possibility, Il Is but natur-
al. we presume, that the Caldwell
Tribune should get fussy over II,
az Il Is commonly reported that Gov
efnor liaines has control Of the pa
per. In the meantime a great many
papers are standing pat on the
basis that there are still a good
many men that are not candidates
who are really "goyernor-size." and
much compliment Is paid to Senator
Davis on that basis, the Caldwell
paper acknowledging the
value Of his IDEAS along lines OF
