All person who vote at the democratic
primaries III Cameron county tomorrow
must be ready 10 take oath that they
'are democrats and that they will sup
port the candidates chosen on this ticket. =
The fact that they may chose later to
vote the republican ticket at the national
election will not in any way be violation
Of such oath.
County Democratic Chairman James b.
Wells this morning made the above state
ment n regards who may vote in the pri-
mary election here tomorrow. His atten-
tion was called 10 a dispatch from Austin
quoting the Attorney Generals depart
ment a holding that voters in the primary
election must be ready to take oath that
they will support the national democratic
ticket.
''The oath upon the Cameron county
ticket does not read that way" said Judge
Wells. I'll am inclined 10 believe that the
ruling was made upon IA ticket from some
county that had the oath wordcd 80 n to
exclude national republicans
The polls will be opened al $ o'clock
tomorrow morning and will remain open
until o'clock in the afternoon. All Judges

Hughes Points the Way

Tte speech of the Republican can
didate for President was q keynote
speech, indeed Not one person in
the great audience at the Carnegie
Hall meeting was in doubt for one
moment as to just what he meant by
everything he said.
His address was comprehensive, log
zeal, clear and all sufficient for the
occasion. There can be no dispute
man who knows what he wants when
he wants it," and it is the opinion
OF political authorities who heard him
and who have since read his remarks
that he knows, also, how to get 1t.
1t was incumbent upon the Repub-
lican candidate to confine the scope
of his remarks to the limitations of
the occasion, but his crushing analy-
sis of the shortcomings OF the pres
emit administration of the government
is merely an earnest of what the tone
and the contents Of his speeches will
DO when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie Hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verified to every general question that
is apt to be serious issue In the
campaign and In language that will
be absolutely clear to every man or
woman able to read he stated his
opinions, his convictions and his pur-
poses. On the stump he will argue
those points in detail. As an orator
he Is eloquent, his personality attrac-
tive and his marshalling of facts so
cohesive that he holds his audience
to the end. He makes 1t easy for
Thorn to follow him and his points
are not lost.
There was nothing squivocal, moth
ing apologetic in the Republican can
didate's speech of acceptance. He
called a spade spade, and the unani-
nous opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam
paiEn Is now open, and those who
will speak and write and work for
the success of the Republican ticket
can wish for no more adequate cam
paign document, no more satisfactory
statement Of issues than are found in |
the candidates salutatory.

The campaign of 1912 proved three
things-that Latah county is Republic
an, because it elected a straight Re-
publican legislative ticket that year
notwithstanding that the Democrats
shared the ticket before and since;
that making the election of national
officers dependent upon the selection
of state or county officers was I'M
wise, for we had to elect very I'M
satisfactory legislative ticket in order
to support Senator Borah; and that
people show their ability to discrim-
mate in the selection of officials when
free to do so.

"Redd-not to contradict and
COMPUTE, nor to believe and t0ke for
granted, but to weigh and consid-
ey."-Lord Bacon,
WHO ARE REPUBLICANS?

Whoever intends to vote for Charlie:
e. Hughes for president in November
is a Republican no matter how much
he scratches his ticket. Party lines
are drawn on national issues; anC
ones views on national issues de-
termines his party allegiance, and
nothing else does.
Naturally, a Republican president
needs a Republican Congress to en-
able him to carry out Republican pol
icies, and Republican voters will vote
for the congressional candidates on
the Republican ticket if they are at
all fit for the offices to which they
aspire.
Wanting the same things in the way
of national administration is bond
between voters in a state, and leads
to the establishment of party organiza-
ton in the states. When United
States senators were elected by the
state legislature, it was necessary to
carry the consideration Of national is
sues into the election of state SEN
ators and representatives, but now
that is no longer the case for we
have the direct election of United
States senators by the people
Aside from supporting its candidates
for national offices, a political organ
ization within a state or county has a
single obligation upon it, if it at
tempts to participate in the election
of any but national officers-that is to
select honest and capable men for
candidates When it fails to do that
it deserves, locally, the defeat intelli-
gent voters give it.
IF you vote for Hughes, you are a
Republican, no matter for whom else
you vote. If you do not vote for
Hughes, you are not a Republican, no |
matter for whom else you vote.
If you are a good Republican, you
will help to nominate a local ticket |
that will be a credit to the name it |
uses.
If a man would be credit to the |
party name, vote for him. Unless he |
would be credit to the party name,
vote against him.
Better elect a candidate of another
party. than to smirch the name OF the
Republican party.

proposal or the railways. me litter
refers only to the questions presented
by the demands of the 10 per cent of
service and asks the commission to set
tie the controversy by decision. The
Newlands resolution is much broader
and, without contemplating a final set
tlement by the commission, directs it
to investigate and report on "the mini
mum, maximum and average wage
paid, with hours of service, to each
class of railroad employees in the Unit
ed States" not merely the "big four
brotherhoods of train employees. The
commission would also be directed to
report on the hours and wages in 9TH
er industries, the relation of wages
to railroad revenues, the question of
whether railroad revenues based on
| existing rates for transportation will
admit Of equally favorable terms to all
classes of railway employees and "any
other matter in this connection that
the commission may deem relevant"
The brotherhOods object strenuously
to any idea of federal tribunal fixing
wages and declare that an investiga-
ton by the commission would only
serve to delay matters. The only pro-
posal they have made is that their de-
mands be granted in full with the
alternative of nation wide strike
They insist that the railroads will be
more inclined to yield to their de-
mands when confronted with strike
vote.
In their reply to the brotherhoods the
railways advanced as their reasons for
proposing to refer the question to the
interstate commerce commission that
it is 1.-The only tribunal which by rea-
son of its accumulated information
bearing on railway conditions and its
control of the revenue of the railways
is in a position to consider and pro-
tect the rights and equities of all the
interests affected and to provide addi-
tional revenues necessary to meet the
added cost of operation In case your
proposals are found by the commits
sion to be Just and. reasonable"
Whereas board Of arbitration con-
stituted under the Newlands act could
pass only on the questions presented
to it in an arbitration agreement sign
ed by both parties and would In no
way represent the interests Of the pub
lie in the controversy, the interstate
commerce commission would not be SO
restricted and could consider the rela-
ton of the wages of the train and en-
CINE men to those of the other en-
ployees, as well as the necessary eff
feet of an increase in wages on the
rates to be paid by the public.
