IDAHO PARTIES AVOID

BOISE, Idaho, June 18.-In the State
platform conventions held in Idaho last
week the Republican and Democratic
navigators carefully steered their party
ships away from the shoals of prohibi-
ton enforcement, repeal, modification
and resubmission.
Questions Of unemployment, tax re-
lief, tariff, silver and other less con-

planks dealing with these were incor-
porated in the platforms of both parties.
The prohibition question was avoided by
both conventions
James P. Pope, Democratic nominee

ROOSEVELT LUCKY
IN WALKER CASE
Slow Action of Committee
Makes Decision Impossible
Before Convention.
BY CHARLES H. ARMITAGE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BUFFALO, June 18-"The luck of
the Roosevelts" is again in evidence.
To be sure, Coy. Franklin D. is only
nth cousin to the original ct. r..
but the tie seems to have been close
enough to include him within the scope
of the family characteristic. Lady
Luck ALWAYS partial toward New York'S
reigning executive, has again given him
"the breaks"
For two years Republican Legisla-
tive Committee has been probing Tam
many's administration of civic affa;rS
down in New York City. Now, just
when it might prove most embarrassing
to a New York Democrat seeking a
presidential nomination, come charges
involving Mayor James j. Walker.
Here's where the lucky break comes In.
The Walker charges might have been
laid before the Governor several months
ago, but it was not until June that
the charges found formal lodgment in
the executive chamber at Albany.
Must Take Time.
Manifestly no Governor could be ex-
pected to take action on a matter OF
such genuine gravity the day the
charges were placed in his hands A
few days, at the very least, must be
accorded him for study of the matter
laid before him. A week is none too
much. Then again, common fairness
dictates that Mayor Walker should be
given at least 20 days to answer the
charges. Following his answer there
must be another suitable period OF delay
while the mayors answer is studied.
And after all this few days more for
the drafting Of the decision. once 1t has
been shaped In the executive mind.
All this, as will be seen, brings Us
knee deep in July at the earliest. Ard
the Democratic National Convention Is
scheduled to meet June q, with every
indication that 1t will have named the
party candidate for President and ed
journed by July or 2.
Claims State Any Way.
So 1t falls out that when the roll
Of delegates Is called on the first ballot
at Chicago, Tammary Leader John F.
Curry will have no knowledge of how
the Governor will view the charges
against his close pal, Mayor Walker.
Could Roosevelt, if nominated. be
elected without New York States vote?
Chairman James A. Farley of the DEM
ocratic State Committee, who has been
managing Gov. Roosevelt's campaign
thus far, figures that he can. He points
to 1890. when Gov. Roosevelt was re-
elected by margin of 725000. Elm
mating his New York City vote entirely,
Roosevelt carried the State by 175, 5000.
That he can repeat the trick this Fall
Is Chairman Farley's confidently eX-
pressed belief.
