WE'LL GIVE 1T UP.

We have letter from republican
who writes to inquire if we are run
ming a republican or democratic
paper. Well give it up. The
writer goes on to ask the Republican
editor if we propose to support Mr..
Holmberg or Mr.. Grant for state
senator, and if the editor of the Re-
publican is a Holmberg republican.
Again We'll give it up. If the writer
of this letter has become suspicious
because the Republican has not seen
fit to jump stiff legged and heap per-
sonal abuse on Mr.. Holmberg because
he saw fit to file for state senator,
and failure on our part is evidence of
democratic tendencies, and purpose
to oppose Mr.. Grant, then we are a
Holmberg democrat-republican, what
ever that is. We said in the start,
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-08-21

and we repeat it. that we have no
fight with decent democrats. We
honor the man who has the strength
of conviction to assert political opin-
ions, whether they agree with what
we believe or not. We can see no
reason why two men cannot still be
good friends although they do not
drink the same brand of tea or vote
the same ticket. We believe that Mr..
Holmberg is a good citizen, and would
not do anything against the best inter-
ests of Clearwater county. But he is
a democrat and believes in democratic
principles, and we are republican,
and believe in republican principles.
When it comes to politics we do not
agree, but for all of that we respect
Mr.. Holmberg as citizen even if we
vote the republican ticket. And we
do not see just why we should heap
abuse upon him, or say word for
Mr.. Grant who has no opposition in
the primary. Perhaps our friend is
afraid Mr.. Grant, who has no opposi-
ton, will not be nominated.

A VAST DIFFERENCE.

There is vast difference between
ring or clique, in the sense in
which the public speak and under
stand, and party organization run by
the people for the purpose of popular
government. Legitimate party or
ganization is necessary, commendable
and essential. Without organization
the best political parties, run for
the people, could never accomplish
anything.
Here in Clearwater county the vari-
GUS parties must have organizations.
The Socialists must organize; so must
the democrats and republicans. We
cannot agree that the local republic
can organization is ring" or a
"clique'' in the sense that it exists
for improper and Interior purposes.
However some may look at this
matter we are inclined to the opin-
ion that the local republican organiza-
ton is necessary, and that it is mis-
take for republicans to work at cross
purposes with the organization.
Surely those who claim to be re-
publicans cannot expect to get elected
on the republican ticket if they insist
on working independently Of the or
ganiaztion! Surely there must be
some head to every party! Surely
there must be some democratic organ
ization!
Why, then, is there objection tc
what we have termed "Blake gang
ruler" Because there is vast
difference between legitimate party
organization, run for the good of the
party as a whole and the people in
general, and a corrupt ring, manip-
uated by party bosses who use theil
power and the party for selfish ends.
One is wrong and detrimental to the
people; the other is necessary anG
commendable, entitled to the support
of all good citizens.

1t is announced that State Senator
G. w. Edgington of Idaho Falls, will
be candidate for the republican
nomination of lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Edgington was in the house of
representatives two years ago and in
the state senate this year. He is
not shallow mixer" who will
make of everybody lifelong friend
in a minute; but any man, friend or
foe, can trust his word to the limit
he stands without tying, on what
ever he says he will do. And this is
a most admirable trait; especially
when guided by experience and hon.
est judgment. Mr.. Edgington will
represent progressive republicanism
and citizenship, and should he be
called on to fill vacancy in the gov
ernor's chair, he would do it we'll.
He can be trusted by the people, any,
where, and they will find him q good
investment. The above is the opin-
ion of south Idaho editor relative to
