COMMISSIONERS CONFER
ON STATE HIGHWAY

The commissioners Of Bear Lake
and Bannock counties and the assis-
tant state highway engineer spent
last Monday In conference at Soda
Springs, discussing the route Of the
proposed highway In this county,
north Of Georgetown TO the Ban
mock county line.
As Is known, an effort il being
made to have the state highway go
through Hounan and Eight Mile, IN
stead Of following the present route
north Of Georgetown. There are
some advantages in having the road
go by way Of Nounan. and some dis
advantages.
II was for the purpose Of trying
10 determine which Of these routes
should be selected for the state high.
way, that the commissioners Of the
two counties and the engineer met
at Soda Monday. After threahinQ
over the matter for some time. they
travelled by autos over portions oi
both the proposed routes, but de
ferred a decision in the matter unit
the state engineers Office can fur
nish more information as regard
the cost Of constructing the highway
via the Nonnan route.
AS regards the construction Of thl
highway IN this county. Commission

work. However. they expect IN
short time 70 begin the work sf put

their recommendation. This pledge
he has kept to the letter. Elder and
his lieutenants were particularly for
tunate, too, in having u friend at
court. This was Will r. King. coun-
sellor for the reclamation Office. He
was originally from eastern Oregon
and because of his close personal re-
lations with Nugent and Pence he
did air in his power to grease the
wheels for them in the various de-
partments in Washington.
Then WI. Bryan was part of the
combination. Nugent in particular
was an intense partisan of Bryan's
always. He is even now, it is said,
inclined to side with Bryan as against
the president, and will certainly do
so if it comes to break between the
two.
This combination is now broken
and will be broken worse as the time
for lining up for the next campaign
approaches. Governor Alexander is
determined to take the control of the
federal patronage entirely out of the
hands of the men who control it now.
To do that he must name the dele
gates to the next democratic nation
al convention and he must name the
next democratic national committee
man from Idaho. Unless all present
signs fail this man viii be Jerome J..
Day of Moscow and Wallace.
To simplify matters and make his
control in the federal politics of the
state next year as absolute as his
control of state politics is now Gov
ernor Alexander assumes the position
of special champion of President
Wilson in Idaho. When he is charged
with building up political machine
he says he is building up a Wood
row Wilson machine, a machine to
advance the interest Of the president.
Governor Alexander has mapped
out definite program and every
move he makes is with a definite OBJ
ject in view. In state matters he is
determined to eliminate, by one
mean or another, all opposition tc
, him and the men he has called around
him within the democratic party.
In national affairs he is determined
to send to the next democratic ma
, tional convention a solid Woodrow
Wilson delegation picked by himselt
J with Moses Alexander at the heaC
of it as chairman of the delegation
{ Of course it would be impossible Il

A copy of the above acceptance was

to all the conditions therein named,

ALEXANDER is BOSS
OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY
All Of the Democrats IN Idaho are Dancing to
the Governors Music-Proposes to Make
His Word Supreme in All Things.

Governor Alexander is complete
master of the situation in the demo-
cratic organization in all state mat
ters, writes the Boise correspondent
for the Lewiston Tribune, the lead
ing democratic paper of Idaho.
There is not member of the party,
big or little anywhere in the state,
who questions his authority. It is
true that there is some sort of work
ing agreement between J. T. Pence,
of Boise, the chairman of the state
committee, and a semblance of CO.
operation is kept up between the two.
But no member of the party is ever
permitted to forget which of the two
has the final word in matters of
patronage. And in every case of a
disagreement Pence takes the side
track while the governor holds the
right of way on the mainline.
This situation has come to be 80
thoroughly understood here at the
capital that it is conceded that next
year the governor will not only have
no opposition to his own nomination
for a second term, but that he will
name every man for the state ticket.
In this case the direct primary will
be but an instrument for registering
the governors will. He will also be
supreme in the convention that writes
the party platform. There has never
been time in the history of Idaho
when the democratic party was SO
completely under the control of one
man, and yet the governor has been
in office but seven months. In that
time he has built up a machine that
is the envy of the republicans. 1t
incl1des every appointee of the gov
ernor's even those picked from the
opposition parties, and it is asserted
that these appointees are ready to
fight to the last ditch for the govern.
or at the drop of the hat.
But this is not the limit of Govern.
or Alexander's political ambition
Far from it. It is but the beginning
in the judgment of some of tbs
shrewdest politicians in the state.
It is an open secret here that tn,
governor is now reaching out fol
control of the federal patronage. HI
has picked Jerome J. Day, they tel
me, for national committeeman t
succeed Robert H. Elder, and thru
combination with the Day interest
he proposes to control all fedora
patronage after the shake-up of mex
year.
Up to this time, since the inaugul
alton of President Wilson, all feders
patronage except a little that wa
conceded to former Governor Hav
ley, was at the disposal of Robert T
Elder and the coterie that surround
ed him. This included Geo. w. Tai
nahill, John F. Nugent, Frank |
Kinyon, Frank Martin, Dow Dun
ming, and up to the time of the breal

This combination was assured

Of Mark Twain three spots that are

The first Of these is the Mark
