ALEXANDER AND THE DEMO-
CRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.

The Miner has heretofore comment
ed upon the manifest indifference of
the democratic state committee to-
ward the candidacy of Governor Alex
ander for reelection. The reason for
this indifference is not difficult to To-
cate. When the control of the demo-
cratic committee was wrested from
the Elder Pence Nugent faction. it
passed into the hands of the Days,
This was evident at the time by the
fact that the opposition to Elder and
his associates was headed by the edit
Ravenal Macbeth, of Custer county
lanother Day satellite, who spent most
of last week in Wallace presumably
on official business as secretary of
the Idaho Mining association, but
more likely for conference with Harry
and Jerry Day on matters political.
Since the reorganization of the demo-
cratic state committee the Press
Times, the Day paper in this city. has
taken occasion to comment favorably
upon the growing tendency of the
people toward Independent political
action, and to point out that the sell
ection of a justice of the supreme
court is of vastly more importance
than that of any other state officer
Not one word has been uttered in sup
port of Governor Alexander or other
candidates on the democratic ticket,
and the inference is plain that so far
as the Days are concerned and they
control the state committee, they are
prepared to sacrifice Alexander and
the entire ticket in order to elect a
mon partisan democrat" to the SUI
preme bench. The attitude of the Day
daily is being commented upon in 9TH
er parts of the state, as will be seen
from the following from the Poca-
tello Tribune:
our good friend of the Wallace
Press Times does not appear to be
burning up great excess of print |
paper warmly lauding the accomplish
ments of Governor Moses. 1t doesn't |
require great piece of paper to re-
cord his executive acts of benefit,
though some of the democratic breth- /
rem might figure all the more reason
why praise should be fulsome. But
Terry and Harry seem to have slipped

sncy, and the Press Times maintains

WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON CAN
TELL THE FARMERS.


on October u occurs another OF
Mr. Wilson's Saturdays at home"
when he will receive and address the
farmers--as he has already received
and addressed the business men and
the youth of the country.
We do not suppose that any large
percentage of the farmers of the land
will that day trample the turf of
Shadow Lawn, any more than we
found any large percentage of the
business men and the first voters
flocking there on the prior occasions
of the presidents oratorical hospital
ity 1t is altogether natural to be-
lieve that such farmers as attend the
festive gathering will be drawn from
New Jersey and New York-and in
that belief we think the president can
speak to them most entertainingly.-
He will dwell, of course, on the
achievements of his administration.
Chief among the topics which he will
discuss should be the Underwood tar
if law; and we are confident that he
what he will have to say about that
measure.
He will doubtless point out that the
farmers are now receiving high prices
for their crops. Whether he will en-
phasize the NOW" we do not pretend
to say. But there will be many
among his hearers who will remem-
Der the good old, genuine democratic
days before the European war, when
the battling millions across the sea
were using the plowshare on the face
of nature instead of the shrapnel
shell and when they were not de-
HldHulHS 10 ne leu from american
fields. In those days the peasants of
Europe and the farmers of Canada,
South America and Australia were at
work upon the soil and were sending
over here huge quantity of agri-
cultural products, flooding our mar
kets, depressing the price of the home
grown article and taking sales away
from the American farmer. Mr.. Will
son should advert to this if he really
wants to make hit with an audience
of farmers.
He should also tell his hearers how
it happened that the Underwood tar
if took the duty off of potatoes
which are grown in the north-and
left it on peanuts, which are grown
in the south. And why the Under
wood tariff gave us free northern
wheat and protected southern rice;
free northern corn and protected the |
southern tobacco. There is ample |
material for a rafting good speech |
to the farmer if the president will on
ly make use of it.

PICTURE SHOW SUGGESTIONS.
(Boise Statesman


Moving picture managers declare
that a play is easy to stage once
good plot is suggested Even a catchy
title, they say, will often suggest a
fine scenario.
The democratic campaign managers
are said to be working hard trying to
get up some film features depicting
great and stirring events Of the Will
son regime, but they are reported as
making haste slowly. Here are some
suggestions of things which the pub
lie would enjoy seeing on the screen:
Huerta's Salute.
Mexican Outrages.
Strict Accountability. (comic).
Too Proud to Fight Ca national ira

The Two Billion Dollar Congress in
Action.

Reducing the Cost of Living. "a
production).
Garrison's Revolt. (Not an army
film).

Taking Vera Cruz and Giving It

WHY THEY SUPPORT WILSON.
Duluth News Tribune)

Duluth News Tribune)
Two owners of large shoe manu-
featuring plants have declared for
Mr. Wilson. Why not? He gave
them free leather and the war has
cut off competition and brought them
big orders. They have made money
and evidently think of nothing else.
He promised the people cheaper
shoes. Have they gotten this lower
price? Is anything cheaper, as the
democrats promised? The man who
has a "war baby" may well support
Mr.. Wilson But what of the people
who have to pay the price?

1.-The Power of WILL.
(Selected)

There is no chance destiny no fate
Can crcumveht hinder or control
The firm resolve of determined SOUL
Gifts count for nothing; will alone is great;
All things give way before IT, soon or late.
What obstacle can stay the mighty force
OF the sea seeking river in its course,
or cause the ascending orb Of Cay to wait?
Each well born soul must win what it deserves.
Let the fool pirate of luck The fortunate
Is he whose earnest purpose never swerves,
Whose slightest action, inacton serves
The one great aim. Why, death stands still
And waits an hour sometimes for such WILL.

Judge Jeffries, Saturday morning,
sentenced Edward La Prad, former

La Prad was recently convicted
OF a charge of manslaughter in
Judge Jeffries court. The sentence
is said to be one of the most lenient
ones imposed in recent years In To-
cal tribunals.
In passing the sentence the judge
said.
Il feel sorry for you, La Prad, and

ence of liquor and did not know
what you we're doing For five years
you were a 'broncho buster and as

shot, you came to Detroit where you
were confronted with new ele-
