Capt. E. G. Davis Would Be the Next
Governor of Idaho-Gives an
Address at Nampa
BARKER MAKING A FINE RECORD
Office is Now One of the Most Impor-
tant in the State

Boise, Idaho, Jan. Is Especial to
the Herald)-Capt. E. G. Davis fired
the opening gun of the republican
primary campaign last Wednesday
when he addressed an audience at
Nampa on the subject, "The Under
lying Cause of Bad Government in
Idaho" In his address Capt. Davis
gave voice to his opinion that the
democratic administration had not
been a success and had not come up
to expectations and promises. Capt.
Davis has had exceptional opportuni-
ties of observation at the state cap
itol where he has been a member of
the legislature, secretary of the Re-
publican State Central Committee,
secretary to Governor Haines and
assistant attorney general. Last
week he issued his formal announce
ment that he would be a candidate
on the republican ticket at the next
primaries for governor.
The activities of Captain Davis will
undoubtedly have the effect of spur
ring the other aspirants to action and
we may look for an early and an in
teresting republican primary cam
paign. Up to this time Sen. D. w
Davis of American Falls has exhibit
ed the greatest activity, which activ.
ity he must now increase or let hi:
namesake take the lead Among the
other presumed aspirants Lieut.-Gov
Taylor has gone no further thar
to declare that in due time he woulS
make a formal announcement, bu
that he was to be considered in thu
race until the primaries closed. Moth
ing has been heard of Sen. Crum fur
Their than that he had the subject o
becoming a candidate under advis
ment Governor Haines is an inter
ested spectator of what all the other
are doing and seems entirely conten
to let the matter rest that way unit

OPEN PUBLIC
GYMNASIUM
Trustees of Independent School District
No. a Plan to Allow Use Of Gym to
All Residents Of District
CHARGE SMALL MONTHLY DUES
Will Provide Healthful and Wholesome
Enjoyment for Old and Young

The members of the School Board
of Independent School District No. 4
are planning to make arrangements
whereby the residents of the district
will be permitted to use the new
gymnasium which was recently con-
srtucted of building formerly used
for the first and second primary
grades.
This building is equipped with a
hot and cold shower bath and full
set of clothes lockers in the base
ment. The gymnasium proper is a
room large enough for all athletic
sports and the school board have al
ready ordered a full equipment to be
used in gymnastic work.
1t is proposed to effect an organic
alton of both men and women and
through this organization proper care
of the building and apparatus will
be taken and arrangements made for
the payment of small monthly dues
to defray light and heating expenses.
The members of the school board will
see to it that responsible persons
are in charge of the building at all
times. Arrangements will also be
made so that certain nights of the
week the gymnasium will be used
by women and girls only and other
nights by men and boys only.
The members of the school board
take the position that the gymna-
SUM was built with the money of the
residents of the district and that it
is no more than right that they
should have chance to use the build
ing and equipment. The board be-
lieves that there are any number Of
