Candidates in The Idaho Repub-
LEANS big automobile campaign as
well as some of those who have not
yet entered the race, are busy with
pencil and paper these days, figuring
what it would take in subscriptions
to acquire the leadership for the
beautiful Essex or Nash grand prize
winch will soon be awarded to them.
The published vote standing, as it
appears today, shows that the high
est candidates are in the neighbor-
hood of the 100000 mark, some a
little higher, and others a trifle less,
and while this is an excellent show
ing, it does not necessarily follow
that the leaders today have a walk
away" for the big prizes by any
means. In fact, the candidates far
thest down the line today or for
that matter entirely new candidates
could by a little special effort and
immediate action, make themselves
important factors and probable win
ners Of the grand awards.
Votes are the only things neces-
'sary to win and they can be gotten
by the thousands, yes, by tens of
thousands. On every subscription
turned in certain number of votes
are allowed, depending upon the size
or rather length of the subscription.
And in addition to these regular sub
scription votes, 200, 900 SPECIAL
votes are allowed on every s24
worth of subscriptions turned in.
Therefore, by the use of little
mathematics, it can easily be figured
that asnlere handful of subscriptions

WHAT WOULD RESULT?

The other day |. w. w leaders testifying before
the Coroner's jury at Butte said that organization
was striking to bring about industrial change IN
the United States The MEMBERS they said, are try
ing to destroy capital to destroy private ownership IN
producing property, to destroy profits in business
Last Fall the Labor convention at Juneau adopted
a Constitution which recied that the interests of
employers and employees Numerically opposed
to each other, and plainly pointed to the ownership
of the means of production by the workers instead
of by those who invest money in them as final
objective.
An economist who recently left Moscow, writing
conditions in Russia, indicates very clearly what
this doctrine would lead to. He says:
To-day in Russia, trains have practically
ceased run; industry has ceased to func-

Cropping in the Dark
(New York World


THE following" remarks the New Republic in
of polite satire, call themselves Republicans:
Mr. Hoover and Mr., Thaddeus Sweet, Gen. Wood and
Mr. Townley, Mr. Penrose and Mr.. La Toilette Mr.
Root and Senator France Mayor Thompson and Mr.
Henry Wise Wood, the New York Tribune and the
Non Partisan Leader Borah and the Union
League Club of New York"
Had it been disposed the New Republic could
have established quite incongruous relationships
in the Democratic party to whose National Conven-
ton both Mr. Bryan and Gov. Edwards regularly
elected delegates Parties, at best, can mean more
than voters wish them to mean, although they some
times less than voters wish them to mean, and
until the voters begin to clarity the issues in their
minds all these strange relationships are certain
continue
The extent of this party confusion is nowhere
more clearly revealed than in the Literary Digest S
Presidential poll, in which $4,000 votes have al
ready been cast Among Republicans the leaders are
Wood with 1886, Hoover with 62,420 and John
son with GOALS. The sources of these votes are
interesting than the totals. Of the votes
for Wood, 6,363 credited to Democrats and 9,40S
to members other than the Republican Democratic
parties. Of the votes for Hoover, "a ,649 from
Democrats 9,648 from members of other parties.
Of the votes for johnson, 13495 of Democratic
origin and 9048 classified "other parties. >"
Wood and Hoover and Johnson all call themselves
Republicans but, if principles and policies of
to be taken into consideration two of
them mistaken All three of them cannot pos
siby be Republicans and Wood, in fact, is the
only who measures up to the accepted standards
of Republicanism. Johnson in most things speaks
the language of Bryan Populist and Hoover speaks
the language that his hitherto been talked by the
great body of Independent voters
If voters confused as to candidates and is
sues it be said that they confused
than the leaders themselves. Were it possible to
present the ostensble issues of the campaign the
American voter the opposing candidates would I'M
questionably be Hiram johnson and Herbert Hoover
Better than anybody else they represent the real
cleavage of sentiment among the republicans and
Democrats alike. In such campaign the extreme
reactonaries would be excluded from representation
but that would be the fortune of politics In other
campaigns radicals have had to make choice of
conservatives refrain from voting, and it would
do harm to leave the reactionaries homeless for
campaign Nobody-not themselves
would be the off
There will be no such cleavage, however, because

HARRY BISHOP

Harry A. Bishop who died Wednesday Seattle
played a prominent role in the activities of this
section of Alaska. He served Juneau Mayor, the
First Division United States Marshal the Elks as
Exalted Ruler He manager of Juneau's wa
ter system, and occupied oher places of trust, and
he always made good. He a good citizen and a
useful one good neighbor and true friend. He was
broad in his viewpoint and tolerant in ahis concus
ions. He honest an employee and as a pub
lie servant, always giving the best that in him
He clean and wholesome His example was
worthy of emulation.
Unfortunately for him and the community during
the last few years of his life he afflicted with
disease which incapactated him for work. and he
lived in retirement
There is genuine mourning in Juneau for Harry
Bishop, and the sympathy for the widow who cared
for him throughout his long illness with loving care
and faithfulness is deeply sincere.
