POTS AND
The PRIMARY
Both in Limelight Before Legis.
lature-DOctors Mix Over
Osteopath Bill.

From Our Special Correspondent
Two bits of politics have taken q
hmelight position in the capital. One
has to DO with the primary law and
the other with political pots, which
latter is far from secondary matter.
The Republican organization has de-
vised plan to raise funds for cam
paign purposes through state club,
with dues at SO per each year. 1t
is figured out that through this means
ample funds can be provided IN adj
vance To handle each campaign in
turn without solicitation at the out
set Of the contest The Democratic
warhorses have evolved plan for .
non-profit sharing political corpora
ton having, q part, the same objee-
tive. 1t is expected both parties here
after will be properly financed by
small contributions.
The bill rePealing the direct pri-
mary Aw, passed by the house, has
not been warmly received in the SEN
ate, where another primary bill has
been introduced as substitute, IN
effect. The latest measure retains
the state convention plan, but elimi-
mates the separate party elections,
provides for payment of election iudg-
es, repeals the provision for expenses
of delegates to state conventions and
prohibits double delegations.

BOISE TOO FAST FOR
LOCAL FIVE

Take Long End Of Game
Score Ga to 21. -

The Emmett High School basket
tosseds, played at great disadvant-
age because of injuries to regular
players, lost Saturday nights game
| in Boise to Boise High by a score Of
21 to Ga. The Statesman gives the
following account of the game:
Although handicapped by slippery
floor, Boise high school won from the
Emmett team by score Of 81 to 81,
at the local gym, Saturday night.
The game was fast one throughout,
despite the fact that the floor had not
been rosined following = dance held
in the gymnasium the previous night.
"Bill" Lansdon opened the scoring
with a free throw, and followed up
with a field goal and a second free
throw in rapid succession The en-
tire half was repetition Of Boise's
famous three-man plays. Emmett
used five-man system Of o6Iense and
defense but was unable to keep the
bah away from Capt. @Jerry" Black
and "Curly" Mcleod, Boise's fighting
guards. Lansdon was high man for
the Red and White, with five field
goals and two successful attempts at
free throws Cooper followed with
four and Sam Coon added three iield
goals making total of twelve goals
for the locals. The score at half
time was 26 to for Boise.
The second half was a repetition of
the preceding with Ellis substituting
Knox for the Blue and Gold. Coach
Gray's FIVE seemed slower than in the
first period and were unable to break
up Boise's plays. In the last five
Emmett attempted come
back and made four field goals in rap
i'd succession.
During the last quarter, Coach
Keane put in Emory for Lansdon
and Theron Robson for Mcleod.
The half ended 81 to 81 for the home
team

known as the osteopath bill. 1t pass

against the measure IN the house,
