contests. This year there is only one

having filed for the house of repre-
sentatives against Frank Clapp of Bon
ners Ferry. Ten days ago there was
considerable talk of various democrats
fling for the same office and it is
known that the past week the party
leaders held several caucases. Evi-
IDENTIFY the democrats have some good
system Of eliminating would-be office
seekers.
One thing is apparent this year in
the affairs of the democratic party
in this county and that is that the
democratic leaders have made peace
or are trying to make peace with the
nonpartisan league. The county chair
man of the league, G. j. Daufau, of
Porthill, and William Parsons, said to
be staunch league man, of Naples,
are unopposed candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket for commissioners. 1t
is also stated by many that present
democratic office holders, seeking re-
election, either belong to the league
OF are appealing to the league for sup
port AT any rate there can be no
gain-saying the fact that the demo-
Gratis and leaguers have effected a
combine in Boundary county and no
doubt this combination will not be a
sweet pill for all members of the dem
ocrat party to swallow. Editor Nc

posed last election as the bitter op-
ponent of the league. refusing to sup
port the democratic nominee for the
U. S. senate because that nominee had
been endorsed by the nonpartisan
league, yet this election he is a can
didate on the same ticket in the county
primaries with known county leaders
of the league. All this brings to mind
the old saying about politics and
strange bedfellows.
AS has been stated there will be
several contests this year in the re-
publican primaries. No effort of any
kind was made to prevent any man
from filing for office who desired to
do So The republicans of this county
look upon the primary election as a
free-for-all and let the best man win.
