Senator D. w. Davis, candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov

Monday. Senator Davis ran over from
Boise, where he had been on business,
for the purpose of meeting a few of
the Caldwell Republicans.
Senator Davis stated that he would
not start upon his active campaign for
some little time but that when he did
he would go at il whole heartedly and
energetically. He stated that every
sign was encouraging for Republican
success this fall. The party is we'll

of the Republicans and they were very
favorably impressed with him. He is

Why Blame Green?

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
says he received telegram from a
Democratic politician in Massachu-
sets named Green. asking for a posi-
ton in the customs service for his
brother and closing with the remark
My conduct as delegate to the Ma
tional Convention will Sc governed by
treatment accorded him. Mr.. Nc
Adoo AYERS that he replied to this in
a reproving letter which practically
accused Green of attempted bribery.
At first blush the reader is inclined
to jump at the conclusion that Green
was caught red-handed in an effort TO
corrupt virtuous administration but
on second thought, it must occur to
every fair-minded observer of public
affairs that Green was the man who
was tempted. He showed poor judg-
ment to sending a telegram instead
OF travelling down to Washington TO
have personal conversation. but tina.
Is mere technical flaw in his pro-
cedure which should not have been
taken advantage of by an administers
ton with a record such as that writ
ten by the Wilson regime.
If Mr.. McAdoo had read over the
long list of men who made contribu.
tions OF money or service to the Viii.
son campaign before or after the con-
vention and had compared that list
with the list of appointees under this
administration he would certainly have

THE CALL OF THE PEOPLE.

There never in the history of the country such
demand for the services of in the presidency,
there is for Mr. Justice Hughes. The demand is
tonal 1t from all parts. 1t is widespread deter
mined and persistent No matter what dscouragements
in the the sentiment formed in deliberation per
ssts.
The people of the country determined upon change
in the national administration Neither the foreign policy

the disaected have absolute confidence Other have
their admirers and strong supporters Among such
are Root, Roosevelt, Burton Cummns and Weeks. None
of them acceptable to the whole people
In discussing the widespread demand for Mr. Justice
Hughes the Boston Transcript says:
The call for Hughes now coming up from the peo-
pie in every part of the country voices first of all
popular demand for leadership in the day of the
TONS danger Through three long years thousands of
Americans have watched and waited for their President
to take his from the ground, his eye from the
crowd to the 'front.' and shoulder with fearless heart
and certain mind the grave responsibilities that have
crowded thick and fast upon the Government,
"The determination to draft Mr. Hughes is not sur
prising when consider his record in the past his
resolution in the present and his qualification for flu
ture service 1t is not too much to say that the
of the people who determined to conscrpt him as
their leader in this crisis in a heroic mood They
are we'll aware that the national ailment requires a
heroic remedy. They tired of the type of politician

1912 when President and ex-President of the
United States chased each other the country in
the prosecution of personal quarrel. That expert
ence has prejudced them against the operation of the
presidential primary, and caused them to view with
suspicion any active candidacy for the highest office

has pleased them more because it confirms their best
judgment of his character. than the refusal of Mr..
Hughes to sanction the of his in advance of

idea of the proper method Of securing
a job for his brother. If effective in
fluence in getting Wilson nominated
and elected in 1912 was sufficient basis
for an appointment, why shouldn't it
be in 1916? 1t is true that Mr.. Green
expects to have only one vote in the
st. Louis convention, but he did not
ask much in the way of patronage in
return for it. Men who contributed
several thousand dollars in 1912 were
given ambassadorships; others, who
contributed lesser amounts or salts

tive jobs as heads of Bureaus. Quail

compared with political service.
Though Wilson thought Bryan fit only

for swinging the convention.

openly, why wonder that Mr.. Green

Why not, rather, condemn the long

How the Presidential Primary is AL

The operations of the direct system

eminent are now being seen in such
results as have so far been procured
in the years campaign. A number
of States have applied this direct sys-
tenn to presidential politics and OF
these three have held elections
Indiana, Minnesota and North Da-
kota. The democratic primary is
omitted from the discussion, for the
reason that only one name was on
the ballot and the procedure was
In Indiana the republican ballot con-
tanned only one name. that of Mr..
Fairbanks. the state being conceded
to him under the favorite son rule.
In Minnesota and North Dakota,
however, there were no favorite sons,
and the result there may be regarded
as typical. In Minnesota there were
three candidates on TIE ballot-Cum-
minis, Estabrook and Mr.. Webster,
and in North Dakota two-L.afollette
and Estabrook. Not one of these men
is seriously regarded as of presiden-
tial stature, but they are the sort of
men the direct primary brings to the
front, encourages and usually pro-
notes. The three names considered
nationally as of presidential stature,
and one of whom will probably be
the republican nominee, were not on
the ballot in either state and doubt
less will not be in any state. These
three names are those of Hughes,
Roosevelt and Root According to
the results. so far visible the direct
primary therefore tends to exclude
the most fit men and to elevate the
least fit. Not only are these results
demonstrated in fact but they are
even more so in reason. They are so
IN reason because of the law of gray
ity. The masses are attracted by
those who think and act in their own
shallow and ignorant fashion. The
masses are not attracted by deep
knowledge, assimilated experience or
great public courage. They are at

their uses, and neither can do the
work of the other. OF course, in the
administration of government, to
which is entrusted the property. the
opportunities, the lives and the liber-
ties of all the people. knowledge, ex-
perience and courage are required.
The alternative virtues lie along diff
ferent lines of human activity. The
direct system of nominating and of
legislating takes, and can take. no
thought of the human equation in the
ordering of the public business and
