| fully realize the necessity for lend
ing encouragement and furnishing all
needed protection and relief to our
producers and consumers. 1t is my
Judgment that most of the cause OF
complaint arises from the fact that
there is an excessive and totally un-
warranted spread between the price
paid to the producer and the price paid
by the consumer. This middle profit,
so far as it may be illegitimate, should

POLITICAL LINES TIGHTENING
Fight in Democratic Primaries Will
Keep Democrats at Home This

Fight i'm Democratic Primaries VIII
Keep Democrats at Home This
Year.
Boise, Idaho, August 19.-The poll
tical lines have been drawn so far as
the primary election is concerned and
the supreme court has clarified the
situation by deciding that there is
nothing in the law to prevent the
Nonpartisan league cuckoo from lay
ing it's eggs in the Democratic nest,
as a prominent Democrat puts it. The
Nonpartisans will undertake to cap
ture the Democratic primaries and the
real Democrats of Idaho will under
take to prevent it, which will provoke
one of the most interesting primary
contests in the hitsory of the state
1t develops that when Senator Du-
bois came to Idaho recently he told
friends that the president desired the
election Of Senator Nugent. though he
presented no written statement from
the president or his secretary to that
effect Indeed, when he was inter-
viewed for publication he did not go
that far but merely stated that the
president would be pleased with Nu-
gents election-which would undoubt-
edly be the case if any Democrat were
elected senator from Idaho
Now it develops that the president
is not so emphatic i'm his support OF
Nugent or i'm his opposition to Mr.
Hawley as Mr.. Dubois attempted &c
lead the public to believe. The news
comes from a high source i'm Wash
ington that the president has indicat-
ed in a letter that he would not be al
all displeased if Mr. Hawley shoulC
be sent to the senate, feeling that ne
would support the presidents wal
measures quite as Loyalty as any oth
er Idaho man.
In this connection another repor
comes from Washington that will m
/, terest Idaho readers. II will be re
called that Senator Nugent was plac
} ed on the finance committee far il
! advance of any seniority rights lhli
: preferment was engineered by Mr. Du
: bois in order to help Senator Nugeh
politically in his own state. Dut II
J Washington it is said to be under
stood among Democratic leaders Il
] the senate that after the Novemoe
z election Senator Nugent will retlr'
from that committee and some Demo
cratic senator who has won a palc'
I thereon by virtue of service viii dis
] place him.
Many laborers of the state and no
[ tably organized labor, have favored
2 state monopoly of casualty insurance
e and these league leaders have pre-
l tended to be in sympathy with tina
. policy. 1t develops. however, that IN
S Nonpartisan league itself has taKel
out insurance for its employees sucl
I as organizers, etc. in the Marylan
S Casualty company. The bond TO GOV
!. er this is No. SO4 and is filed with tn
y state insurance manager. Knowledg
y of this action has created widespread
70 adverse criticism of the league on IN
o part of laboring men.
