ACROBATIC STUNTS.

Boise, June 2l.-The warfare that
is seething underneath the surface In
the Democratic party OF Idaho IL test
ing the acrobatic ability of Governor
Alexander. who is endeavoring at one
and the same time to flim-flam the
Hawley forces and also the Day broth
ers of north Idaho, while delivering
the goods to the Pence-N -Nugent fac
ton. 1t was through the influence of
the governor that Elder was put over
as national committeeman at Pocatel-
10, while the governor was declaring
he was perfectly neutral In the .ight.
This fact is known to the friends of
Hawley and the Days and they are
watching the further movements OF
Alexander while whetting their knives.
Alexander knows he is under suspi-
cion and is again evidencing she ut
most friendliness towards former Gov
ernor Hawley and the Days. Recent
ly he had the announcement made
that he was desirous of placing Haw-
ley in nomination for vice president
and he followed this with the state
ment that he would request Harry l..
Day to be his personal representative
at the launching of the battleship Ida
no. These over friendly acts of the
governor only cause smile to the ad-
herents OF the gentlemen named, and
they become more suspicious than ev-
er of the governors intentions. Haw-
ley had no interest In the vice presi-
Dental buncombe and the Days are
not looking for any more empty hon
ors at the hands OF Moses. His Of
fers have simply tended to put them
on their guard and 1t is the opinion
in Democratic circles that Alexander
is paving the way to further coopera-
tion with the Pence-Nugent forces and
that II Is his purpose to force the Sc
lection Of one OF that faction for state
chairman. II the governor goes to
this length he will be faced by open
revolt. The Pence-Nugent faction
does not represent the majority Of
the Democratic party OF Idaho and
this fact Is now so self-evident that
their domination of the party by trick
cry, combination and the use OF state
and federal patronage will no longer
be tolerated. There Is very little Of
the tenseness OF the situation coming
to the surface. but affairs were never
SO near the breaking point in the
Bourbon ranks.

STATE LEADER HOCHBAUM HERE.

II. W. Hochbaum, state leader of
county agents, Is In the city today
looking over the work In this county.
He will visit several farms, inspecting
the demonstrations In field crops, peas,
alfalfa. potatoes and silagc crops car
ried on by Power county farmers. In
his judgment this is the most far
reaching, though perhaps the least
noticed, work being conducted by the
county agricultural agents. This is
the work that will prove the possibil-
titles of this soil and climate and
change in a few years the method OF
farming over the whole county from
one crop system TO diversification.
The people OF this county must come
to II the same as other people have
and the sooner they do It the more
sure they will be OF balance in the
bank In their favor not only once a
year but every month. Diversified
farming with one or two annual cash
crops and an all-year-around income
makes the prosperous and contented
farmer" said Mr.. Hochbaum.
The state leader was much pleased
with the community fairs and pio-
neer picnics held In this county this
spring
Before leaving Mr.. Hochbaum will
also review the ground squirrel and
rabbit determination work done In
this county with an aim OF outlining
the work for next year 80 as to get
an early start and make what i'm
provements can be made over the sys-
TEN used last year.

TO THE REPUBLICAN
ELECTORS or IDAHO

In announcing my candidacy for the
denomination to the position OF state
treasurer, / ask your support on my
record since assuming charge OF the
office. No favoritism has been shown

interest for the state all the time pos
sible. The methods and work OF the
office have been SO changed and sys-
tematized that an actual saving OF
s54.s9032 was made during my first
year. All books and records in the
office are open for inspection at any
time.
II you approve doing the states bus
iness in that manner, I will certainly
appreciate your vote.
Respectfully,
JOHN w. EAGLESON.
