explain in detail how he will save the
million year. Mr.. Hawley will ex-
plain why he did not save a million a
year when governor. The campaign
would be we'll worth the price. OF
course Mr.. Alexander usually has a
few things to say himself and the pur-
poses of Hawley and Nugnt may not
be accomplished.
Lewis Visits Boise.
Hon. NJ. E, Lewis, candidate for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor, was in Boise last week. He as
sured his friends and everybody else
that he would receive the nomination
hands down. North Idaho. according
to Mr.. Lewis, is solid for him. He
even intimated that he had received
great encouragement from all sections
of the state. This line of talk is much
after the way of politicians. They
always claim everything in sight. 1t
is really remarkable the different
sentiments different men find accord
ing to their statements. Now, Frank
r. Gooding finds everything in fine
shape for said Frank R. Judge ALL
SHE is equally confident. Without
even visiting Idaho, both Brady and
French feel, each for himself, that he
has an immortal gaspipe cinch on the
nomination. Without putting too
fine point on it we would say that
somebody is being deceived or else
there are some awful liars in Idaho.
Why one day last week | heard
Hawley man say that there was absol-
utely no Nugent sentiment in Idaho
unless it was in Cul de Sac, a precinct
he hadn't visited. The next week
Nugent man said there never was any
Hawley sentiment except at Jerusalem
and Jersualem was taken off the map
prior to the close of the Hawley ad-
ministration of state affairs. There
you have it. You pay your money;
take your choice; and stand to lose
four ways from Sunday. Oh, that l
had the confidence of a politiciani
But people would simply say that
was gullible.
A Few Notions.
Have you noticed that our own
little Robert M. McCracken is a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for congress? So he was two years
ago and then turned Bull Moose. He
must consider a Bull Moose nomina-
ton an insult for he could get that
for the asking.
Have you noticed that Senator
Borah is as calm and pacific as turnip
over the Republican nominee for gov
ernor since John Hart visited Wash
ington? Nothing like a visit from
John as a sedative.
Have you noticed that Judge Ali
SHE attends strictly to his fraternal
visits over the state? There is posi-
lively nothing like an ambition to
make a man visitant. Why the
Judge would rather attend lodge than
go to a picnic and picnics are pretty
good places for ambitious politicians.

a couple of weeks ago that Mr.. NJ
Alexander was slated for the AK
rather than the governorship. There
is more truth than poetry in your con-
lecture Both Nugent and Hawley
want to get shed of Alexander; Haw-

because he fears he will prove bur-

made a poor impression on the peo-
pie. His million year saving does
not look feasible to intelligent men

BRAFRALGO GIVES VENT
TO FEW PIPE DREAMS
AND NOTIONS
Editor Caldwell Tribune:

Edltor caldwell Tribune
The vacancy in the United States
land Office at Boise caused by the
death of Mr.. William Balderston is a
matter of grave concern to the Demo.
cratic politicians of the capital CITY
Once again the fight is on between
Hawley and Nugent 1t may be proph-
esied with assurance of successful
issue that there will be no election tc
decide the matter. The result of the
Boise postoffice election is still fresh
in the minds of Nugent, Elder ct al
By just deserts it is admitted by
all that Mr.. Fred Floed is entitled TO
the appointment He has labored in
the vineyard faithfully and did not
come to work at the eleventh hour
He has been on the job for a matter
of thirty years or more and IS of
those years have been in this partic-
ular vineyard of Idaho. He has I'm
doubtedly done more real, effective
work than any other man in Idaho
for the cause OF his party. He who
labors earnestly for his party is labor
ing just as earnestly for his country.
Mr.. Floed has never received any
reward from the Democratic party
and little from individual Democrats.
1t is true that he was private secre-
tary to Governor Hawley. That
appointment came from Hawley rath-
er than from the party. 1t may be
stated that Mr.. Floed has little chance
of landing the plum. He, in fact has
given up all hopes, having stated in
the last issue of his New Freedom
that he would content himself as a
private in the ranks.
DR.. Heer, probate Judge of Owyhee
county, is reported as the man most
likely to land the office. He is strong
for and with Nugent but not person
ally offensive to Hawley. He is the
most available man in this land Of
fee district. 1t is also stated that Dr.
Heer is a most capable and estim-
able man in every particular. He is
a lifelong Democrat and has always
voted the ticket straight, which with
the party leaders, is a virtue of the
cardinal order.
DR.. Hers appointment will be
fastened by the fact that homestead
ers throughout the district are de-
handing that the Democratic leaders
get busy. Their business with the
land Office is seriously interfered with
on account of the vacancy that exists.
They naturally hold the Idaho lead
ers responsible and will be inclined
to get vengence at the polls. Either
Nugent or Hawley will have to come
before the people twice. Each thinks
he will be the nominee for United
States senator. Neither wishes to do
anything that will jeopardize his in
tereSts at the election
In this connection it is interesting
to note the rumor that is current here
in Boise to the effect that Mr.. Floed
layed down gracefully on Mr.. Haw-
ley's account. His reward will be the
private secretaryship to Senator Haw-
ley in case that eminent statesman is
ever entitled to so prefex his name

and in the Caldwell Tribune" as we'll
as your comments which led up to the
same, l wish to state that fully agree
with both in that the taxes are ruin
ously high, and that in order to reduce
them materially, a curailment of all
expenses must be made for time to
give the people an opportunity to
catch up. This is what the present
County Commissioners have tried to
do in the county affairs, and it must
be remembered that they have no
