be. The denomination Of Mr.. WILSON
by the Democrats was long ago ac-
cepted as inevitable. The nomination
of Mr.. Hughes by the opposition looks
today, to be hardly less certainty. In
every corner of the country the tide
of popular sentiment is running
strongly in his favor A poll of public
sentiment among the farmers of Maine
shows the same preference for Hughes
that "a similar test does in Southern
California. A poll of the passengers
on de luxe train between Boston and
New York nets about as many votes
for Hughes as a poll on similar train
from Chicago to San Francisco. The
editors of the country newspapers in
Nebraska, which circulate among non
Democratic readers. are as overwhelm.
ingly for Hughes as are the editors OF
newspapers of the same class in rorth-
ern New York. A referendum among
an organization of first voters in Ore
gon rolls up majority for Hughes
that is duplicated by referendum
among the business men in small
town in Illinois.
Only two classes of the opposition
to the party in power today tail to
show a preference for Hughes. One
of these is made up of those frenzicd
followers of Mr.. Roosevelt who see
in the increasing acceptance OF his
prophecy in respect of the reputation
of "watchful waiting" as national
policy an opportunity to use the magic
of his name to repair their own politi-
cal fences. The other class gains its
recruits from the professional politi-.
clans who look to Mr.. Barnes OF
New York and his associates in poll
tics for their orders. Neither class
possesses anything in common save
their selfish refusal to recognize the
supremacy of the common purpose
for which the rank and file Of Republi-
cans and Progressives are fighting to-
day-to restore and secure the honor
of the nation. Could they cooperate,
the two classes are insufficient in num-
bers to prevent the nomination of Mr..
Hughes.
What will New England do, in the
face of this countrywide landslide for
Hughes? Wisely, as we believe, the
delegates from the six states of this
section will go to Chicago untram.
melted by any instructions. Long be-
fore they arrive there, however, they
will find it the part of wisdom, we
venture, to declare in unmistakablS
terms that their first choice for tn,
presidency accords with the popular
preference, which is everywhere man
ifesting itself in the form of delegate:
and declarations for Hughes.

Comment On Political Affairs
BY THE EDITOR

Nothing Doing-Hawley, Haines
and Alexander were forwarded from
the Office of mayor of Boise to that
of governor of Idaho. The mayorality
of the Capital City has been a great
training school Anyone who served
as the chief magistrate of the munich
pality with fidelity, courage and abili-
ty, is at all times prospective can
didate for higher honors. He has an
opportunity to show the stuff of which
he is made; is in the public eye from
AN advantageous coign; and in many
other ways can provide for future pref
erment if his ambitions run in that
direction.
One mayor of Boise. the present
incumbent and cncumbrance, Mayor
Robinson, reached the crest of his
greatness as mayor. There is no great
err political honors for him. He has
shown conclusively that he is of small
Ter stature than his former friends re-
allied. We believe that we violate no
confidence when we state that many
friends of Mayor Robinson never con-
sidered him giant intellectually. They
thought though that he would pull
through his term without discredit He
is one of those petty tyrants pulled
up with a little brief authority. He. as
mayor, is a noisome nuisance. We are
convinced that he has little or no
conception Of his duties in the office
which he occupies even though he
does not fill it. He is little man. by
chance entrusted with considerable re-
sponsibilities.
When we see little fellows rafting
around in public Office we often won
der what they think they are accom-
plishing. We often wondered what

ing to do with his gumshoe detectives,

er or better; what his real purpose
was. 1t must be assumed that the
mayor of Boise is man of good in
tentions. Does he not work in har-
mony with the Methodist church o.
Boise, the Anti-Saloon league. and all
the other forces of the uplift? Giving
him credit for good intentions and ar
honest endeavor to benefit his city
what must be the methods OF his
mind, when turmoil, evil repute ant
utter contempt are the fruits of his
efforts?

The Removal-T,he recall of Mayor
Robinson will be a good thing for the
entire state of Idaho. OF late years
the tendency, exhibited in all its bril-
liancv at Boise during the regime OF
Mr.. Robinson, has spread throughout
the state. We have had manifestations
here in Caldwell. Thew were afflicted
at Twin Falls. The spell was upon
Pocatello. A great many of us were
commencing to believe that spasmodlc
reform by search and seizure, gum
shoe and raid, was about to be. come
endemic to Idaho. 1t had seized upon
the public mind and gave promise OF
leaving that organ anemic if not pet
rihed.
The people of Boise became disgust:
ed with Mayor Robinson several
months ago. They started to bring
about his recall. Fearing that they
might accomplish this result the
Mayor promised to change his tactics.
His promise was about as good as the
results he has accomplished in his
moral crusade" If the Mayor was
convinced that his course was right in
the first instance why did he promise
to change it? If he was convinced
that he had made a mistake why did

ton. ANY way YOU may look at
them the actions of Mayor Robinson
force the conviction that he is unified
by nature and training for the office
he occupies.

Boise demand the removal of the pres
ent mayor. AS stated his removal will

County Commissioners

The Republicans have three can
didates for county commissioners
who deserve the votes of their dis
tricts by large majorities. 1t is
seldom that three as good men can
be selected for these important
places as j. d. Hostetter, H. c.
Brenizer, John Book. All are farm
ers, all are accustomed to handling
business affairs, all have been hon
ored by public positions in their
own townships and have fulfilled
their duties we'll. All are good
roads boosters, and have some defi-
mite ideas about giving to Dickinson
county highways that will be a
credit to the county. They are men
of careful habits, and who will look
after the financial affairs of the
county with the same earnest con-
sideration and conscientious effort
that they have given to their own
private affairs. This is the ideal OF
public service, and with board of
county commissioners composed of
these men Dickinson county will
have reason to be proud, and each
should have an overwhelming ma
jority in November, and every dis
trict in the county will find that it
has made no mistake by putting
such high class men as its repre-
sentatives on the board of county
commissioners.
