BOISE, Idaho, August e3.-A clean

and the State Republican administra-
tion seems assured this week. as
county conventions have given un-
usual demonstrations of harmony in
the Republican ranks, and Repub-
licans generally are looking toward
the ides of November with real
optimism.
A statement by Borah that the
direct primary would not be raised
as an issue in this campaign in Idaho
was the big step toward harmony and
although it is rumored that the Klan
will knife the senior Senator. this
down his vote. Borah's remarks
critising the Federal Reserve Bank
and his hope for lower Federal taxes
through opposition to the growing
bureaucracy at the National Capital
strikes a, responsive chord in Idaho
and together with a Republican ad-
ministration that has reduced State
taxes % per cent in three years there
is formed a decidedly effective Re-
publican battle front.
With the holding of State nomina-
tion conventions by all parties next
Tuesday the 1924 campaign will be
on with a boom. 1t is now predicted
that the three leading parties will
finish in the following order: Re-
publican. Democratic, Progressive.

told the candidates and the commit

Mr.. Ekern explained that while
satisfactory headway was being made,
the task Of effecting a widespread
organization was tremendous and II
would be some days before sub

He said funds to finance the early

that donations were being received

enough money would be coming into
his treasury TO keep the campaign
moving forward along lines worked
out by Senators La Toilette and
Wheeler and their advisers.
The campaign committee held two
sessions yesterday with Mr.. La Fol

Although no official action has been

are supporting the Democratic State
ticket.
The acceptance speeches OF President

by a comfortable majority. There is
not much sign of Democratic detection
from John w. Davis and Charles W.

to wander from the national fold.

be the Ku klux Khan. with the Rspub-

Democrats will meet in convention
In Salt Lake Tuesday and Wednes-

sional sessions Tuesday and the Sc
lection of a State ticket Wednesday.
The two active contenders for NOM
ination for governor on the Demo-
cratic ticket are George H. Dern and
G. Clarence Nesfen, both of Salt Lake.
A close fight is expected.
Dern has a lead in Salt Lake,
although Neslen is mayor here, but
Neslen is expected to bring in strong
support from the distant counties of
the State. Dan B. Shields is a third
candidate for r6e nomination. but he
does not claim any considerable
strength, expecting to profit only in
case neither of the other two win
in the early ba11oting.
The campaign is fairly started in
Utah now and indications are that 1t
will be fought out in a continuous
battle from now until election day.
