LOOKING FOR A DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

After visiting the various counties
in the panhandle and making himself
the principal in framed up non-par-
tisan receptions, which, If the one in
Wallace is a fair sample, were chill
ing frosts, Governor Moses Alexander
betook himself to Spokane where he
responded to an interview which was
in all respects Characteristic of Alex
ander. He had been over in north
Idaho, you understand, trying to get
some one else to run for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor" but
had not been successful Asked If he
would file for the nomination himself,
he replied: well, / really hadn't
thought about that i've had too many
other things to think about"
AS a matter of fact, from the day
Governor Alexander took the oath of
office he has been campaigning for
reelection. His personal organ in
Boise. the editor of which is his pri-
vate secretary, has been chiefly de-
voted to sounding his praises and to
bringing about condition in the DEM
ocratic party that would make his
nomination for second term newt
able. He may have not thought of
filing for the nomination, but that is
merely formality that requires no
thought. He is a candidate now and
knows that he will have no opposition
for the nomination His non partisan
visit to the north is merely the Alex
ander way of making partisan CAM
paign. His assumed non -partisanship
fools no one. The people of the north
are not lacking in the respect that is
due to the office of governor of the
state and would delight to do honor
10 the chief executive when he visits
them as such. But when he comes as
4 candidate seeking support, they are
not TO be deceived by this nom parti-
san veil which he dons for the ocea-
sion.

STOP soAPBox AoITAToRs.
(Butte Minerl

Butte Miner)
Butte is well aware of what Is
meant by the term, Soap box ora
tory"
The mining city we'll remembers the
days, under socialistic city regime,
socialists were permitted to mount the
soap boxes or like rostrums, at prom
inent business corners and there har-
angue crowds, impeding traffic while
these ranters most flagrantly insulted
men and women and urged the most
violent sort of action against any ard
all industrial institutions.
Then when Butte put the lid on the
soap boxers" 1t was clamped down
tight and that Is the way it remains
today.
The presidential nominee of an or
ganizatlon calling itself the socialist
labor party tried to utilize a Butte
street c. rrer the other evening and he
was quickly notified that such proceed
IRE would not be tolerated here.
To have permitted him to have
spoken would have been to invite all
the soap box orators" near enough at
hand to get here expeditiously to re-
turn and start their trades.
The mining city is not going to take
any chance of having soap boxing"
Reconstructed here no matter how in
nocuous the opening wedge might
seem.
Any person or persons who endeav-
or to disrupt industrial harmony in
cite to riot and other trouble and in
suit a citizenry are dangerous and are
abusers of the right Of free
speech.
Freedom of speech is great and
sacred privilege, but there is way Of
abusing that privilege and whenever
that is done to the detriment of any
when talk Is blasphemous,
anarchistic and seditious,
1t should be and must be stopped.
1t was to prevent such abuse of
most important American prerogative
that soap boxing was put under the
ban in Butte
