mitted yesterday that ne had talked with
persons other than the gunmen's lawyers

day that he had seen no one but Police

the various candidates for Office in
Idaho can only be guessed at, but they
are undoubtedly greater, if not dou-
BILE, the cost of the primaries. These
expense items would not be so OBJ
jectionable if they produced results
in proportion to their cost, but they
do not. The results are often worse
under the primaries than they were
before. This being the case, the adj
ditional expense caused by the pri-
maries to the counties, and to the
candidates, is useless and a waste.
On this account the expense item is
one of the greatest objections to the
primary law.

IN. {. LEWIS ON DIRECT
PRIMARY LAW

AOontlnueu from rage g.
In the six counties of Ada, Bannock
Latah, Washington, Lemhi and Lewis
the vote shows that in the localities
having candidates for office on the
state ticket, and in counties having
dominating towns, that people will
vote the ticket of another party eth
er as favor to their candidate friend,
or to help their own party in the gen.
eral election by nominating a weak
candidate on the opposition ticket at
the primaries. 1t indicates that this
was done in the counties of Ada, Ban
mock and Latah to the extent of pos
slbly 80 per cent to 40 per cent of
the vote cast for the Republican tick
ct at the primaries. 1t shows that
the primary law is so faulty that it
permits of one party controlling the
nominations of the other party to this
extent. In so far as the law permits
lanipulation to the extent of nomi-
mating the weaker candidates for of
flee on the ticket of any dominant
party, it is not only a menace to the
public good, but it has tendency to
weaken such dominant party in pub
lie confidence, to disintegrate it and
to destroy it.
Basis for Nominations.
In the state at large but so per cent
of the voting strength shown at the |
general election was cast at the pri- |
maries. This go per cent did the nom
mating of the ticket. The other 40
per cent was entirely unrepresented. |
An examination of the re-
turns by precincts throughout the
state will undoubtedly show a smaller
percentage of the total vote cast at
the primaries in country precincts
than in town precincts. This being
true the primary law gives the towns
and cities greater voice in making
than their normal vote
entities them to and in this extent
The law is unfair. 1t also throws the
power to the places where
statistics show the greatest manipula-
ion of the vote, and in this respect
S vicious. Representatives in making
should be strictly in pro-
portion to the total vote of the party
n all precincts as shown by the gen
,ral election. This is the fairest test
o measure voting strength by. No ]
ocality or class of voters should be
,enalized as the primary law now
loes.
Expenses.
One of the greatest objections to ,,
he primary law is the matter of ex-
ense. These expenses are paid by {
he counties themselves and are not i
hown by any state reports. The ex-
enses of the primary elections of 1912
yere approximately 100000 for the
tate. The primaries for 1914 I'M
oubtedly cost more. In addition to '
his the law entails the necessity of ;
laking two campaigns on any one !:
