tile democratic vote are not large
enough to determine whether Mr.
Miller or Mr.. Cunning will be
the southern ticket, but it ap-
pears that the senatorship and
the other congressional nomina-
ton are beyond doubt-that
aawley and Forney will be the
nominees.
There is hardly and doubt but
what the next United States con-
gress will be democratic, and in
order to get the fullest consid-
GRAFTON from the national ad-
ministration Idaho should have a
democratic delegation in con-
gress. We have our land ques-
ton, forestry, irrigation, power
development and other problems
which are peculiarly important
to this state, and in order to
get the laws passed that we wish
and to get the departments to
give our claims the sympathetic
which we would like we should
have a delegation in harmony
with the administration. Any
administration always takes a
more friendly interest in those
who are trying to build it up
than in those who are trying to
lcar it down.
Idaho, moreover, has been a
negative force, a drag, on the
great constructive legislation
that has been enacted the past
two years. But Idaho wants to
be identified with the great work
that the national administration
is doing and will continue to do
and Idaho wants TO rally around
the president who is so nobly
striving for the cause of peace
and national prosperity. And
when Idaho goes to the polls in
November there can hardly be a
doubt but what it will be Gov.
Hawley and Judge Forney and
either Bert Miller or Dow Dun
ming, whichever is the winner in
the primaries, who will take the
message of Idaho to the congress
and the president of the United
States North Idaho News.
