POLITICAL GOSSIP AT
THE STATE CAPITAL
Attorney General Walters Said to be Slated for
Governor Non-P Partisan Leaugue Causing
Party Leaders Some Concern.

state. having made almost q clean
sweep at the last general election.
even so~far as carrying off the legis-
lature and making it democratic in
numbers for the first time in the
history OF the state.
The man whom the democratic
leaders finally decided upon as
candidate to succeed Governor Alex
ander must not only have a record
for doing things. but must be clean
cut, an executive and an orator. At
torney Gen. Walters, better known
to his more intimate friends as Ted"
Walters, is claimed to fulfill all the
requirements. He Is pointed out as
an able lawyer, aggressive, in the
prime of life and capable of making
a dash for gubernatorial honors..
There are other democrats in the
state who are willing to sacrifice
themselves on the political altar and
believe they can be elected, but it
will be the leaders in the party who
will decide the strong man for the
race. Just now they are pleased with
the official actions OF the attorney
general.
With a war policy in force over
the nation, and the democrats in con
troll OF the presidential chair and con-
gress, democratic state official can
only see clear horizon for their con-
tinuation in office. They are conf
dent that all the present state off,

go TO the high school building last
Tuesday afternoon and express their
choice fore school trustees. Ten
times tht many people would have
walked a mile or more had II been
announced that dog fight was TO

people these days take more interest
In the welfare OF their livestock or

that the public schools OF the city
have not been we'll looked after Of

school board has done the best IL
could with the funds at It's com

that in a city the size OF Montpelier
that the people generally should dis
play such an Indifference M they did
last Tuesday regarding the selee-
tion OF two men who are to shave a
voice in the management OF the
schools for the ensuing years.
n IA aiso strange that Il should
be so difficult to find men who are
willing to spend > very small portion
or their time for three years in look

Although 1t is fourteen months
until the next general election. the
political bee is already buzzing pret-
ty lively, and some of the patriots
are already being groomed for the
political combat. Last week the Boise
correspondent to the Lewiston Trib-
une dished up this interesting bit of
dope:
Attorney General T. A. Walters
is being groomed as the democratic
candidate for governor of this state
to succeed the present incumbent,
Moses Alexander, who rounds out
his second term as chief executive in
1918. In the event United States
Senator William d. Borah is not o
candidate to succeed himself, Gev-
ernor Alexander is very likely to en-
ter the race for the democratic nom
nation and II successful at the pri-
maries, be the democratic candidate
for one OF Idaho's togas in the ma
tional assembly.
Idaho's attorney general may or
may not know that he is likely to be
the chosen sone of the organization.
1t is quite certain that many OF the
leaders view him as the strongest
man available to face an unquestion-
ably dangerous candidate the repub-
lican party will offer. The fight for
control of the governorship gives
promises, even at this eearly date,
as being one of the most strenuous in
the history OF Idaho politics. The
possible retirement Of Senator Borah
letting down the bars for a free-for-
all race, gives every indication of a
lively political session. Should SEN
ator Borah reconsider his decision,
the senatorial fight would fizzle out
regardless of the fact that not few
democratic leaders claim they can
defeat the senior senator.
Be q Hot Contest
There are several straws in the
political wind that indicate hot
clash over the governorship-in fact
over the possession of the stats
house. The democrats will be in tht
position of defenders who must coun
ter offensive to hold their strong
hold. The republicans will be OF
the offensive, seeking the weakes
point of attack among the Bourbons
Just at present the democrats hay'
