III on record as favoring the selec-
{6il of A. c. Amonson for the nomina-
{ion as state senator as against Law
&<r K. H. Casterlin, but everybody
&K6zent, desirous Of harmonious &C
Etn, thought there might be way
0Ut to that end in the selection Of Cas-
{erlin for one Of the places and Anon
SON for the other. w. ii. Mulkey,
nfesent as an influential democrat
from Baker, thought because the Ie-
p1blicans had already nominated one
lawyer for the senate to run IN the
uximaries, was no reason why the
d&mocrats should follow suit when
fhere seemed to be concerted opposi-
ton to the legal profession on the
Job of longer running the upper law
making body of the state Legislature.
Owen Swift, an active democrat of
salmon, and John Dryer, county
chairman, were present to favor the
Dresentation of Casterlin's name IN
the primaries, Swift saying that his
Nomination had already been filed and
that 10 file another would start a
fight. 1t afterward developed tina,
the Casterlin nomination had not ac-
tually been fled. DR.. Stratton favor
4 ed Amonson as the strongest man
upon whom the democrats could unite,
but to show the utter want of any
spirit of dictation he suggested that
4 Amonson take the nomination for
representative. Thus the matter was
hung up, with manifest feeling
against the proposition of side-track-
Il. ing Amonson for the secondary place
on the ticket Too much lawyer was
s manifestly repugnant to the meeting.
Republicans in the Same Boat.
The lawyer and anti-lawyer senti-
ment is causing some trouble also IN
/ republican ranks. Johnny Shook came
to Salmon one day last week fully de-
termined to file for the senate agains;
Lawyer Glennon Shook was urspar-
ing in criticising the domination by
lawyers in the senate in the past, say
4 ing among other things that it wa;
The fine Italian hani of these gentle
men that helped Governor Davis t
n put over the enormity of the presen
expensive cabinet form of government
in Idaho which has caused roar o
disapproval on the part of the tax
payers. How Shook was induced t.
"harmonize" himself into taking an
other course by accepting the nomina
tion for state representative was toll
last week, though it was manifest tina
he was strongly supported for tn
higher honor. There are other repub
lican flies in the ointment of the sen
atorship. There were loud whisper
all the week that there would be
farmer candidate in the republica
primaries, either Commissioner Sum
mers or some other farmer.

For Commissioners.
At the fiat refusal of Peter Mcki
ney to run again the republicans tur
ed to Charley Beers as their candida
against Vicl, while Commissions
Brney and Snyder will run again
this office. The democratic candidat
viii include Niel, w. II. Fayle and C
other.
William II. Fayle yesterday ma
filing rs a democratic candidate
county commissioner in the seCo
district Mr.. Fayie ran with Fred
Niel on the ticket two years ago q
like Niel was narrowly defeated,
general belief being that he as y
as Niel was wrongfully deprived
the Office. Both these candidates h,
reluctantly re-entered the contt
both having enErosSing private b,
ness to look after but allow the use
their names to vindicate the right
voters to determine their choice
this important office. There "
numerous othcr candi lates availa
but none would take their .places
view of the prevailing belief that b
Viel and Fayle were elected TWO ye
