YOUNG BOYS TO
GET A CHANCE
A. 7. SMITH WORKS FAITHFULLY
FOR BILL PROVIDING HOME
STEADS FOR BOYS
Been Reported FavOrabIy in the
House by the COmmittee-Aids
Back to Farm Movement

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-(Special.)
The bill to allow eighteen-year-ol
minors to initiate a homestead entry
upon the public domain, legislation
which has been earnestly advocated
by Congressman Addison T. Smith
during the last and present congress,
has been favorably reported to the
house of representatives by the COM
mittee on public lands, of which Mr.
Smith is member, and it is expected
that it will become a law during the
present session, if it can be reached
on the union calendar for considera-
ton under the rules. Because of the
members to the bill it probably can
not be considered by unanimous con-
sent. Mr.. Smith argues that the en-
actment Of this law will result in
many young men remaining on the
farm, and enable them to lead an in
dependent agricultural life rather
tnan TO work for wages. In support
ing the bill he says.
When a young man reaches the
age of eighteen he naturally begins
to look into the future with a view of
ia home, and if he is able
to initiate a homestead on the public
domain the probabilities are that
many of them will remain on the farm
instead of going to the cities or towns
to seek employment The government
gladly accepts these young men for
service in the army and navy at the
age of eighteen, and why should we
not be willing to extend them the
privilege Of making a homestead entry |
at that age

ELDER DECLARES

BOISE STORY SAYS HE HAS SIG
NIFIED HIS PREFERENCE FOR
NAMING DELEGATES
In Keeping With Declaration of Dem
ocratic National Platform and
Clarifies the Situation

y Boise Capital News: Robert H.
z Elder, democratic national committee
man for Idaho, is for preferential
primary in this state, following out
llthe language and spirit of the national
Isplatform of his party. This interest
hing information became known in
democratic circles in this city yes
Gday through correspondence that is
J. to have passed between Mr.. Ed
Aand leaders of the party here. Re-
le information is to the effect that
National Committeeman Elder not
only so placed himself on record but
he expressed surprise reports should
have been circulated to the effect he
was even remotely opposed to plank
so plainly nailed in the national plat
form. In his letters to leading dem
ocratic party leaders in this city he
asserted, so it is stated, that he had
never given the slightest intimation
at any time that he took any other
view of the plank in the platform eX
cept that it meant literally what it
says and that democrats were expect
ed to live up to the spirit of democ-
racy is expressed.

FORMER MEETING
HELD AS ILLEGAL
STATE CHAIRMAN EVAN EVANS
HAS ISSUED A CALL FOR STATE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING
Will be Held at Boise on March IL
Suggests That Meeting Held i'm
February Was Irregular

That the meeting of members of the
republican state central committee
held at Boise on February 18th at
which time the date for the state con-
tional convention was fixed was not
a legally called meeting by reason of
the fact that no regular call had been
sent about the state. This statement
was made in letter just issued from
Grangeville by State Chairman Evan
Evans to members of the state com
mittee, a copy of the letter having
reached w. e. Lee, state committee
man from Latah county.
In connection with the statement,
Chairman Evans has called meeting
of the state committee to be held at
Boise March 18th. The call is issued
by State Chairman Evan Evans and
is as follows:
There will be meeting of the
state central committee of the re-
publican party of Idaho, which is call
ed by me as chairman of said party,
to be held on March II, 1916, at the
hour of 10 o'clock a. m., at the OWyhee
hotel, Boise, Idaho. The purpose OF
said meeting will be to consider and
determine the place and time of hold
ing the state convention to select del
egates representing the republican
party of Idaho at the national republi-
can convention to be held in Chicago,
ILL.,, on the 7th day of June, 1916, and
o further consider and determine the
of the delegates from
each county in the state and the man
Ter of selecting the same who are to
attend said state convention, and to
transact any other business at said
meeting that the committee may de-
ire"

May Mean Different Aspect

The fight for a preferential primary
within the party for the purpose OF
securing a party preference vote for
delegates not only to the state con-
yention, but to the national cOnven-
ton, may assume an entirely different
aspect with the views of National
committeeman Elder so plainly set
,efore the party. Those democrats
Mho have been inclined to be opposed
Ito such primary or who preferred to
have delegates elected to the state
convention by the county organiza-
tions may change their attitude now
that they have heard from their ma
tional comitteeman, himself a candi
date for reelection to the important
office which he holds. The democratic
party, like the republican party, has
been agitated by the demands from
the rank and file for chance to ex-
press themselves on the presidential
issue through the election of dele
gates to the state convention 1t is
claimed this is the only fair way for
both parties to bring about harmony
within their respective ranks and to
eliminate possible division. The
argument is also well made that par
ty primaries permit of free express
sion from all members of the parties
and rightly determine the complexion
of the state conventions to be held
in the future

Day Positively OH Record

National Committeeman Elder is
bin his letter to have been quite
hin stating his attitude with re-
10 the preferential primary. The
That he expressed surprise over
the ct that rumors and reports could
poss l1ly have been circulated he was
opposed to a primary is looked upon
here by party leaders as more than
passingly siffrsificant.
The opponent If Mr.. Elder for re-
election to national committeeman and

will Of the next state convention, is
Senator Jerome ]. Day of Moscow. He
is an announced candidate. In his an
nouncement he declared positively for
a preferential primary within the
party. BY going on record in this
manner he eliminated all doubt as to
where he stood in the mater of per-
mitting the party to speak for itself.
1t is therefore said by democratic
leaders active in his behalf to be
somewhat of source of qualification
to them to know that the man they
think should be the party's next ma
tional committeeman has been frank
in explaining his attitude with regard
to primary preference. 1t is said they

to meet in Boise March 6 for the pur-

action will be taken by the committee
looking toward cutting down the rep
