FOR GOVERNORSHIP

Candidates for nominations for COVER
nor of Idaho are coming thickly and
rapidly. Frank Martin, former at
tOrney general, of Boise, will get into
the race, his friends declare and he
will run for the nomination on the
Democratic ticket. E. A. Van Sicklin,
farmer and stockraiser, of Weiser,
has announced his candidacy on the
Democratic side. Mr.. Van Sicklin has
been state senator from Washington
county, and has served as a member of
the state highway board. It is probable
that others will announce their candi-
daey ON the Democratic ticket
On the Republican side, it is believed
that D. W. Davis, of American Falls,
will again aspire for gubernatorial
honors, and S. P. Atherton, state sena-
tor Of Twin Falls, has declared his
candidacy.
1t is beginning to look as though
there will be several aspirants in both
parties for the nominations, at the
primary election, in September. Wheth-
er the primary contests will develop
INTO lively fights, is difficult to fore

If there is anything that gives a visi
tor the impression that town is second
rate, it is board sidewalks, especially
in the business section. We realize
that the expense of constructing con
crete walks here is much greater than
that of making wooden sidewalks, but
for the sake of municipal pride, if for
no other reason, the city council should
require that all new sidewalks in the
business section of Grangeville
be of concrete. When a board walk is
worn out, it should not be permissible
to construct board walk in its place.

PLATFORM CONVENTIONS

The state party platform conventions
have met in Boise and the expected has
accurred. Both major parties pledge
choir hest efforts to the prosecution of
.bo war. and the Republicans criticize
for alleged partisanship shown by the
administration in it's conduct of the
war. quite forgetting that General
persbing. in command of the American
evolutionary forces in France, is a
Ponublican, as is Charles E. Hughes,
lately named by President Wilson to
conduct the government S inquiry into
aircraft production. DR.. Garfield, feder-
al fuel administrator, is Republican,
az is Herbert Hoover, U. S. food ad-
ministrator.
Both parties in their platforms have
failed to mention the Non-partisan
league, which is trying just now to cut
a swath in Idaho politics. The Demo
Gratis saw fit to insert in their platform
a plank condemning all persons "whO
attempt to engender class hatred" The
Republicans adopted plank favoring
the "control and promotion by the state
of the development of unused water
power" and "declare for submission
to the people of the necessary amend
ment to the state constitution.
This plank is not dissimilar to one of
the announced purposes of the Non
partisan league, and insertion of the
plank in the Republican platform no
doubt will be taken merely as bait
for Non-partisan votes. 1t is a pity
that such trickery must be resorted to.
Party platforms simply are devices
calculated by the parties which create
them to draw votes to the respective
parties, and the party that flirts with
out knowing with whom it is flirting
may have tale of woe to relate after
election day.

Dependents of army registrants are
not to be thrust on their parents or the
parents of the registrants for support.
while the registrant is indicted into the
military service, the provost marshal
general instructs. This is entirely in
keeping with statement made a year
ago by President Wilson, that it was
not the intent of the draft law to call
upon relatives to support dependents of
men in the military service. 1t seems
that the statement by Crowder, supple
menting the president S order, was nee
essary because some local boards, in re-
classifying regisrants, were taking in
to consideration ability or willingness
of relatives to care for dependents of
registrants.

smother. Sometimes he would not unseal the
door until the dungeon was needed again, six
months or year afterwards
Throughout that afternoon mother lausanne
and and my little brothers and sisters waited
anxiously for father to come from Harpout
Toward evening a guard came to the house
and asked if my father had returned yet, saying
that he was missed at the audience with the
mutassarif." Mother asked him why the men
folk were taken to the Jail, if the mutassarif
wanted to see them. The soldier said the
governor thought that would be handler as it
was long walk to the palace. We were COM
forted little by that explanation, but when
evening came and the men had not returned to
their homes we became worried again And we
began to fear, too, that father and Emin had
been intercepted.
At dark the wives and daughters of the men
who had been taken from their homes could not
stand the suspense any longer. Drawing the
order to keep to their houses, they began to
gather in the streets, and little companies of
women and children, and even the more daring
men, moved toward the jas. They waited out
side until we'll toward midnight, hoping to catch
glimpse of their relatives or to hear what was
going inside the Jail. At II o'clock the
prison gates opened and Passelt Pacha in his
carriage and escorted by heavy guard Of
mounted soldiers, came out.
The women crowded around him, but the SOL
ders drove them away. Scarcely had the Pacha's
carriage disappeared when there arose great
shouting and screaming from inside the prison.
Lusanpe and l, who had stolen up to the prison
wall, ran home frightened. Father and Emin
were there, having reached home late in the
evening.
Father looked very careworn He took me
into his arms and kissed me in way had never

that he had not succeeded in his mission to Har-
pout for protection. We sat up all that night,
listening to cries that came from the prison
We learned the next day what had happened,
when the man who had escaped crept into
his home to be hidden.
When Passelt Pacha arrived at the prison he
told the men who had been gathered that word
had come from Constantinople the Arme-
mans not loyal to Turkey in the war, and
that they had been plotting to help the allies.
lie demanded that the prisoners tell him what
they knew Of such plots. Every one of them
assured him there had been no such plotting, that
the Armenians wanted only to live in peace with
their Turkish neighbors, obey the Sultan and do
him whatever service was demanded of them.
Passelt seemed at last convinced and went away,
saying the men could all return to their homes
in the morning.
