AN EXPLANATION THAT DOES
NOT EXPLAIN.

In attempting to Justify his action
i'm supporting the partisan appeal Of
President Wilson to elect a democrat
ic congress two years ago. Herbert
Hoover has weakened rather than
strengthened his position as candi-
date for the republican nomination for
president lie says
"It was obviously my duty as an
important war Official to support
the president, without thought of
amy political interest to myself
from the day l entered the ad-
ministration until / left it, and l
put no qualifications upon or apol-
ogies for loyalty to ones chief in
Office"
That sounds very fine, but it so
happens that there was no question
involving loyalty to ones chief in
Office" 1t is true that the president
endeavored to make it appear that
there was doubt regarding his having
the support Of congress if the demo-
Gratis lost control, but that was purely
an attempt to give d patriotic camou-
flage to u partisan purpose, and the
result of the election showed that the
people SO recognized it, The republic
cans in congress had given the presi-
dent even more loyal support in ali
matters pertaining to the war than
members Of his own party and the
appeal for democratic
, otes was nothing less than grave
Imputauon against the loyalty of the
republican party AS a war Official
it was of course Mr.. Hooyer's duty to
support the president, but that did
hot imply support OF the democratic
party in an election that did not in

doover's explanation carries with it
The impression that he doubted the
good faith of his own party at that
crucial period. and it has certainly
not strengthened his position as
residential candidate.

"The government Of the United
States is vitality interested in the
fact that you and your wife have
been blessed with the advent of a
child This government is the
society of American people, and it
is fitting that il should be inter-

FOUR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
FOR U. S. SENATOR.

In the race for the republican nom
nation for United States senator from
Idaho there are four candidates in the
lineup three from the southern part
of the state and one from the north
ern. Their names follow in the order
in which their announcements were
made: Ex-Governor f. r. Cooling, of
Cooling; Colonel L. V. Patch, Of Pay
cite: Captain A. H. Conner, Of Sand
point; Colonel E. c. Davis. Of Boise.
Three Of them with military titles
suggests that the ex-service men are
to play d strong hand in the political
affairs of the state although it is true
that each Of them had gained prom
inence in that respect before the world
war in which they served with con-
spicuous credit. This military array on
the face of it would seem to place
AIR. Goodlng at disadvantage in the
race for the nomination, but those
vino know the gentleman viii doubt
less contend that he has lighting
record that entities him to equal rank
with his military rivals. North Ida
no has long been without representa-
ton in the upper house, and unless |
other considerations not now appar
emit develop. the north Idaho candl-
date viii probably be supported by /
the people in this section of the
state.

The democratic attack upon the re-
publican state administration has be-
gun. The first point of attack is the
alleged high tax levy for state pur-
poses. OF course, the levy was high
for 1919, and so is everything else. 1t
requires more money to run the state
government in these days just as it
does private business. If our dem
ocratic friends can show that the in
creased levy was opposed to the
wishes of the people and that the
money has been improperly spent,
they may make some Roadway in the
attack, but not otherwise. Besides, il
must not be overlooked that a con-
siderable portion of the levy was
made to make up deficiency Of the
preceding democratic administration.

CAPTAIN A. H. CONNERS
VISITS OLD FRIENDS
BRIEF RESUME OF HIS CAREER
SINCE COMING TO IDAHO 20
YEARS AGO

Captain Albert H. Conner, of Sand
point, arrived in the city last Satur-
day and remained until the following
Sunday afternoon. His visits to this
city are much in the nature of
homecoming, for he was for several
years a resident of Wallace has a
wide acquaintance in the district and
a host Of personal friends. His recep-
ton at this time was especially cor
dial on account of his recent an
lnouncement of his candidacy for the
republican nomination for United
States senator, and he left here feel
ing that his interests were safe in the
old home town. He expects to return
when the county convention meets in
this city on April 20 in order to meet
representative republicans from all
parts of the county.

Captain Conner first came to Idaho
in 1899 when he was 20 years of age.
At that time Shoshone county was
under martial law as a result of the
blowing up of the Bunker Hill & Sui
Ivan mill. Naturally the conditions
at that time did not appeal to him as
a place of permanent residence and
he returned to Portland The follow
ing year he came back to Wallace and
took a position in the First National
bank. While thus engaged he took up
the study of law, and subsequently
secured the position of deputy clerk of
the district court, having in view the
advantage the experience would be to
him in preparing for the practice of
law. Upon his admission to the bar
Captain Conner located in Standpoint
which has since been his home and
where he has been successfully en-
gagged in the practice Of his profession
Four years ago e was elected repre-
sentative in Bonner county and was
chosen speaker of the house, a posi-
ton he filled with striking ability and
absolute fairness.
Military Career.
Following the declaration of war
against Germany, Captain Conner en-
tered the first officers training camp
at Preside, San Francisco, and earn
ed the rank of captain His proficien-
ey was recognized in an assignment
as training officer at Camp Lewis
and after a few months he was order
I'd to the front, going-to New York as
acting major in command Of special
rain bearing three companies. He
vas wounded at Argonne by the ex-
'losiOn of German shell, was con-
ined in a hospital for several weeks
md then tran 5ferred to the Walter
Reed hospital, Washington. d. c., for
pecial treatment. Upon his discharge
rom the hospital he was assigned to
pecial duty in the adjutant generals
flee in Washington, where he re-
NAMED until a few weeks ago, when
e received his discharge from the
rmy.
