REPUBLICAN HARMONY
(Wallace Press Times J

Now and again the Republican
press announces that with party har-
mony, a natural result of the selec-
ton OF Evan Evans as state chair
man, the party of Borah and Peter
son, Coleman and Haines, Brady and
Dave Burrell will march triumphant
to the State House next election.
These announcements, however,
have always been followed by bursts
OF feeling from newspapers in which
plans for harmony are outlined.
Strangely, too, no two OF these ex-
poncntS of harmony agree.
The Caldwell Tribune is making
war on the domination of a party ma
chime, and calls for new deal. The
Journal insists that new faces be seen
IN the State House and asks if party
leaders fear to clean house, asserting
that some OF the lame ducks" know
too much.
Editor Purcell, Of the Weiser Sig
nal has dipped his pen in vitrol, and
is cutting deep with each stroke. He
charges that the party is run by a
pesky lot of grafters; that harmony
can come only by running these out,
and that failure to do so will mean
Democratic triumph at the next cleo
ton. He plays ZIP Borah, and charges
oh, how conducive to harmony
that portion of the Republican lead
ers are Cndcavoring to destroy the
senior senator from Idaho.
The Gooding Leader, never very
pronounced in its views, prays for
peace, snorts at the talk of the men
who propose remedies for peace,
urges against Boise ex-mayors for
governor, and discloses an utter lack
Of hope for the party of which the
editor Of that paper is SO distinguish
ed an exponent
The Idaho Falls Register cries
aloud for 4 radiance of the grafters,
lets a whoop or two for High Tar
itf-this is chronic and incurable-
and hopes that peace may come, but
says frankly that some of the Boise
satellites will have to go the way
The Jerome News stands pat, de
cries the efforts of the Performers"
who would hyphenate the name of the
gop, and says in effect that the Bull
Moosers left of their own volition,
and they can return the same way or
stay out.
The Boise Statesman is occupied in
acquainting Senator Borah with the
value of the advertising he has been
getting free in the state; charges the
Senator with having misrepresented
the newspapers of the state, disagrees
with him on the question of the state
primary law, lines Idaho's hope for
the presidency with the politicians,
and then proceeds to DELIGHTFULLY."- lam
bast the aforesaid politicians. And all
in behalf of that harmony that was
to come from the selection of the
new state chairman.
The Twin Falls Times very modest
! ly sees hope in the turmoil that has
come, and would heartily indorse a
movement that will bring about the
nomination of a popular as well as
sound business man for governor on
the Republican ticket The old crowd
which has controlled affairs for the
past six years has become disorganiz-
ed since the defeat of John M. Haines
| 1t will be an opportune time to get
the organization lined up with good
men in control who will not stand fol-
some Of the disgraceful acts Of the
past
But erect, standing aloof, fearing
neither the Bull Moosers nor the
Borah adhcrents, defending the Bar
ney O'Noils, and the Aliens, the Pc
catello Tribune looks out over the
state, the only blown in the bottle
p,rtv organ in Idaho.
The new state chairman has ont
! supporter.
