the candidates announced, chosen
candidates will be placed in nomi-

The league is anti-Alexander in its
attitude. The official mouth-piece
of the organization published at Boz
Sc, is rapidly gaining strength and is
active in the fight that is being car
ried on against the present chief ex-
ecutive. Just what the attitude of
the league would be in the event
that Attorney General Walters was
induced to run for governor, Is a
certainty exists with regard to other
democratic state officials who will be
candidates to succeed themselves.
The league leaders claim they will
have the last word when 1t comes to
naming the officials who control the
state house. Republican and demo-
cratic officials seem to be confident
that IL the political game 10 played
properly and the confidence of the
people can be secured to back their
candidates, either one or other of the
old parties will ride back into power.
That there will be not little flirt-
ing to secure what support the league
has to offer goes without saying
Suggested Republican Candidates
Among the republicans there is
more or less uncertainty as to who
ID the most available and strongest
man to run for governor. The back

ponent at the last general election,
will urge that he be again given an
opportunity to lead the fight as the
gubernatorial nominee. In northern
Idaho there are host of republicans
who would take their coats off for
Charles T.. Hoffman OF Rathdrum,
and George e. Crum, Of Lewiston.
Fhe former has directed the firing
line Of his party in previous cam
paigns having been state chairman
in the race for the gubernatorial
nomination last year. There are a
number OF others as prominent re-
publicans who would not shy at pos

MRS. O. v. ALLEN ASKS
PARDON FOR HUSBAND

His two sons having virtually tax

mate, after confessing to the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 state money
while he was serving as state treas
urer. The board took the case under
advisement. They admit that the
plea of Mrs. Allen was strongly pre-
scented. She was allowed the courtesy
Of making 1t to the members or the
board only.
The audience allowed Mrs. Allen
by the board was so arranged that
she could speak without restraint or
embarrassment Denial is made to
the intimation that the meeting of
the board or It's proceedings were sec
ret. A respectful audience listened
to the plea after which Mrs. Allen
was excused Just what action the
board will take is not definitely
known. 1t was learned unofficially
it is not likely the application will be
granted at this time.
Allen was sentenced to the peni.
tertiary three years ago in December
to serve term Of from five to ter
years. Unless the board definitely
fixes his sentence, or paroles or par

DISTILLERIES WILL

Washington, Sept. 5.-When tot

sponge at II O'Clock Friday night,
about 900 distilleries and at least
5000 men win quit their business.
The law will permit the production
of spirits for nonbeverage purposes

During the fiscal year ended June

No. IA wednesday afternoon for
American Lake. Washington where
the northwest states contingent will
be trained.
Joseph Einzinger Of this city, JOS
eph Ceilings of Paris and Frederick

ing, camp where they will train until
ordered to active duty with the
American forces across the Atlantic.
The next contingent to 60, 20 per
cent of the drafted men, will leave on

BUFFALO HERD is
MENACED BY FIRE

Salt Lake, Sept. 6.-The largest
herd OF buffalo in the United States,
consisting of more than 800 animals,
is menaced by fire which has ragged
on Antelope island, in the Great Salt
Lake since yesterday morning. and
was still burning at the last report
early this morning.
In addition to the buffalo, 400
head of fine horses belonging to the
United States government and being
trained on the island by six cowboys
for cavalry and artillery purposes,
and 1900 head of cattle and other
stock owned by the DooIey estate of
Salt Lake, are in danger IL the fire
should sweep the entire island.
The blaze was started yesterday
morning by lightning, which set the
grass afire, and has swept practically
the entire southern end OF the is
land. A strong wind was blowing
on the lake yesterday and a severe
windstorm during the afternoon
aided the flames.
The launch "Cozy'' went to the
island during the afternoon, taking
ia dozen men to reinforce the cow
boys and ranchers on Antelope who
are fighting the flames
A fire swept the north end of the
island last year and two years ago
swept the entire island Blair Rich
ardson, owner of the launches al
Saltair, and who is familiar with the
island. said last night that should
the wind turn the entire island may
be swept by the conf1agration and
that the loss would run into thous-
ands of dollars in feed. He said that
all the fire fighters could do would
be to try to direct the course OF the
fire, as it would be impossible tc
stop 1t entirely.
