RENEW ALLEGIANCE TO THE
FLAG ON MEMORIAL DAY

Not since the war between the north
and south, when SO many brave men
paid the last full measure of devo-
tion," has there been time when
Memorial day should appeal so strong
ly to every loyal American as this
year No man knows what hour the
call may come to repeat the same sac
rifice made by those whose heroic
memory we will honor next Tuesday,
with this difference that there would
be no north, no south, but a united
country under one flag fighting COM
mon foe. There is preparedness that
is not reached by the creation of a
larger army and navy and unlimited
stores of munitions of war. Congress
can provide this form of preparedness
hut the preparedness that really counts
in the final analysis rests with the in
dividual. He must be prepared as
were the men in 81, and on the day
that we honor their loyal service and
heroic sacrifice, let US renew our al
legiance to the flag for which they
died and thus be prepared to follow
in their footsteps when our country

LIVELY JUDICIAL RACE
Moscow Post)

One of the really interesting races
for office in Idaho will be that for a
seat on the supreme bench of the
state. The candidates in the field thus
far are Justice Isaac N. Sullivan and
Judge Robert N. Dunn. The judiciary
was taken out of politics by law as
far as that is possible, and the fact that
both Justice Sullivan and Judge Dunn
are republicans takes the matter still
farther out of politics in this instance.
Justice Sullivan has been on the
supreme bench for more than quarter
of a century and is known in every
hamlet in Idaho. Judge Dunn has
been unusually successful as a trial
judge. and his friends are backing him
with the utmost enthusiasm. He has

THE TREND TOWARD HUGHES
(st. Louis Globe-DemocraD

NJ. AApoio NlOpE-DClIOCIdlJ
The report from New York that pro-
gressive party leaders are practically
agreed upon the support OF Justice
Hughes as second choice for presi-
dent indicates two things: First, that
the progressives are considering a sec
ond choice and have ceased to look
upon Roosevelt as the one and only
candidate; and, second, that they have
recognized the trend of popular senti-
ment toward Justice Hughes and are
getting ready to fall into line. That
trend is one of the amazing facts of
a time that is full of amazements. A
man sitting quietly and silently in an
office that removes him from the poll
teal limelight and forbids him to speak
upon political affairs, who has sedu-
lousy endeavored to avoid public no.
tice, who has persstently asserted his
unwilingness to be considered a can
didate for the presidency and has
shown by his acts that his willingness
is sincere, who has refused to say a
word that might BE- interpreted as a
sign of his interest In the political cam
paign, for whom no man has been au-
thorized to speak or to work, and who
is looked upon coldly by the majority
of professional politicians, has become
the center of public attraction and of
party consideration, the focus of an in
sistent demand that is not confined
to any section or to any element but
emanates from the people all over the
land. There ha been nothing Just
like this in our history.
The views of -hree republican SEN
ators were reported in the New York
Sun of Wednesday. One of these,
from the east said he was committed
TO favorite son, but expected to see
Justice Hughes nominated on the Sec
ond or third ballot Another of the
middle west, favored Root or Weeks,
but 1T will be hard to keep the dele
gates away from Hughes on the Sec
on ballot" The third, progressive
from the far west said: "The nomina-
ton of Justice Hughes is as certain
at Chicago as the nomination of Wilson
at st. Louis" Attorney General
Wlckersham declared the other day
that the republican party must NOM
mate man who will unite all factions
OF the party and who can certainly be
elected. l see but one such man. and
that is Justice Hughes"
And so it goes, from one end of the
country to the other. There are good
men, excellent men, who are candidates,
out there are many indications at this
line that the country has made up its
mind. 1t is not likely that Justice
Hughes will open his mouth before
he convention, but If the balloting
proves the genuineness of the demand
or his service he will, no doubt, de-
lare himself in such term that there
an be no question as to his position
n public issues, and he will not, can
ot, decline the nomination.

Milwaukee Sentinen

Of all the humbug political nostrums
ever sprung on the bequacked people
of this country, the primary election
is the worst and foolishest, as expert
ence has fully demonstrated. The
great needless expense it entails on the
taxpayers is perhaps the least of its
evils. The worst is, we should say,
that by doubling elections and cam
paigns and thus swapping the people
with an almost continuous performance
of politics, it has so Disguised busy
and responsible citizens with politics
that it is becoming next to impossible
to get them to attend to their political
duties at all, and we all know what
that means. No wonder that schemes
for compulsory voting are always be-
ing agitated.

IDAHO DEMOCRATS TURN DOWN
THE DAYS

After the worst has been said re-
garding the machine methods of Elder
Nugent and Pence, it is plain that the
democratic party of Idaho prefers that
sort of control rather than the domin-
alton of the Days. And in this the
democrats are to be commended upon
their discriminating judgment They
have evidently learned something of
Day methods in Shoshone county and
object to have the demoralizing influ-
ence extended to the party in other
parts of the state. The expected hap

in various counties in opposition to
Elder in the name of favorite son cam
didates for committeeman in the hope
of developing sufficient strength for
scattering candidates to prevent con-
troll of the convention by Elder. With
this accomplished 1t would have been
easy for the opposition to get to-

stated now that they purposely slipped

temporary Craftsmanship victory. The

printed on the ballots. While the vote
of Oregon is comparatively small. the
result is the most significant indiea-
ton of the trend of republican senti-
ment toward Hughes There seems
to be no doubt that the nomination Of
Hughes would signalize the complete
union of the republicans and progress
sives and the return of the republicans
to the control of the government would
be assured. There has never been a

Henry Willmering, of Oklahoma

other candidate, but after seeing and
conversing with him, we have deci-
ded to support him against the field.
"He is qualified beyond any doubt
and that is what the people of this

future. Therefore, we recommend
him to the democracy of Johnston
