The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-07-28

We wish to repeat something we
may have said before: Don't base
your vote on whether you like a
candidate personally. Try to put
your tastes and your likes and dis
likes out of the question and de-
eide whether or not that person
will make good in the office to which
he or she aspires. Take little time
to consider your own inclination in
the matter and see if you are decid-
ing for or against the candidate on
the color of the hair or the size or
shape Of the nose or some personal
feature or attribute, and if so, that is
not using good political sense. Per-
haps you have a personal liking
for the candidate and feel that you
would like to do that person a ia
vor, and on that account you have
decided to vote for him or her. That
is political folly. Get it on the right
basis by deciding whether that per-
son is capable of doing the work

district Of north Idaho counties in
stead of from the state at large he
cannot afford to do otherwise than
urge his friends to stand for north
Idaho candidate. French and Beale
were opponents in the old days for
the congressional nomination in the
campaign nearly twenty years ago
when French was first nominated
for congress.
All candidates are lending their
ears for whisper from Borah.
Some believe that Borah will exert
his influence for Captain Davis who
is the only senatorial candidate men
toned thus far who follows Borah in
his opposition to the whole league of
nations program. Geographically,
however, BOrah cannot stand for two
senators from Boise although it was
apparent in the last campaign when
by refusal to help Gooding he lifted
Nugent across, that geography does
MT bother Borah as much as some of
the senatorial candidates wish it
would. In Cannon's case Borah can
please the farmers" by getting back
of the Weiser statesman, but Can
mons candidacy thus far is looked
upon as clever move upo nthe part
of the opposition to Gooding to d.
vide his farmer vote in the south
ern counties, and it is claimed has
no Interpretation as Borah move
1t is known, however, that Borah
does want a northern man for sena-
tor, to clear the way for his own
denomination four years hence and in
accordance with a real sentiment in
the south that the senatorships
should represent north and south
Idaho. While Conner has been no
ardent admirer of Borah, Borah is
said to be satisfied with Corners
availability as northern candidate
and, realizing that his war record in
congress has left him vulnerable
with the soldiers, Borah is anxious
to square himself with the ex-service
men by being identified with a good
and true soldier which Bert" Con-
ner was.
1t is generally agreed by those
who have looked over the situation
that Gooding must be kept from Sc
curing the nomination on the first
ballot and that If he is Conner is
next up" and will have the next
chance to bat with every indication
that he will knock the ball over the
fence.

belonging to the office. Consider
whether the person is likely to at
tend to duty when elected. Con-
slider whether that person wants the
office for personal advantage or to
accomplish a public service to all
alike. In deciding that question,
you should decide whether the per-
son when elected will be the servant
of all the people, regardless of politi-
cal affiliations, or whether the per-
son will merely seek to serve friends
and political associates and to op-
pose or domineer over those who are
not friends. Those are important
things to consider in politics, and
unless we consider them and guage
our franchise upon them we shall
not be able to purify politics nor do
any good in voting for the, men,"
as we have so often boosted of do
ing. When we get SO we can put
our own selfish self out of the uues-
ton, we shall be able to do better
voting.

THE SIN HOUR DAY

And now the American Federation
of Labor demands a six hour day.
Does that mean that the worker will
produce as much or more in six
hours than he has done in eight? IF
so. six hours labor is preferable to
eight. The reduction from ten to
eight hours was found to stimulate
production in some vacations, though
not, we believe, in all. But when
employers are asked TO lop off two
hours more, some sort Of efficiency
guarantee should 90 with the de-
mand.
Just now the crying need Of this
country and the world is not short
or hours, but more output. If q
man can do more or as much in six
hours as in eight, all right. But
the complaint ever since the arms
tice has been that labor has fallen
off in efficiency and productive ca
pacity. If it is not to throw great
CT energy and earnestness into the
six hour dav than it has seemed
frequently of late to throw into the
eight hour day, what will be the
result?
The country is IN i Missouri condi-
tion of mind on this subject. The
six hour case will have to be proved.

IN AGGRESSIVE UNION
THERE is STRENGTH

The Star IS well pleased with the
speech of acceptance by Candidate
Cox. It has the true ring IN it. 1t
lodges no issues. He lifts up the
banner to lead democrats forward. He
has spoken not only for the democrat
ic party of America, but for true
democracy all over the world.
The Star is particularly pleased
with the stand Mr. Cox takes on the
league Of nations. The Star believes
in the league Of nations. It believes
it is the best idea for the safety rot
only of the world but of America that
ever has been devised
ssIn union there is strength" has
been a truthful saying for many
years But it should have been more
strongly worded. There is strength
in passive union, but not enough. II
is in aggressive union that there is
the most strength.
The League of Nations amounts &c
little without America. With Amer.
lea it would be force that nothing
on this planet could defy. If Amer
lea was in the league, it would be the
dominating force of the league. II
would not be ordered about by the
league. Where America went the
league would follow.
Today, we stand on the verge Of
another world war. with half The
fruits Of the last one thrown away
And the fault lies in the American
Senate.
The Star does not believe in Amer.
lea staying out of the troubles of th.
rest of the world. It believes in Ara
erica going in, before she is pushed
in, as she was the last time, and help
ing to straighten them out The man

down by its platform and candidate
means that where there is blood an,
tears we must keep aloof, but wher
there is. money we must horn in. w
can't follow any such policy. The res
of the world won't let us do it.

to the Star that the country school

anime teachers for schools and issue
them certificates. This is another
instance of the crazy quilt style in
which state educational affairs are
constructed. The next Legislature
