Friday. February 21-
No ottier previous campaign baa
rausrd greater bltterneaa and In few
baa there been ao much local and gen
eral Interest. All Indications today
point to tha heaviest vote In tha hls
tory of tha city.
Tha commlaalon campaign has been
conducted by a eommlttea of 60 of tha
moil prominent boalneaa men of tha
city who hare gone to the peopla for
support and have waged their campalxa
tinder the auspices of tha Bolaa Com
mlaalon Form of Government League.
Tha anti-eomml"!onlta organised after
tha Black law advocates, under tha slo
gan "Home Rule."
Flaat t.rawa Heated.
Ti e fight which started a rattling
aklrmlah haa developed Into a heated
monlolpal battle with numerous aide
lauea that hinged on tha commlaKlon
and tha charter questions. Paramount
among tha former haa been tho paving
taaua which haa been uaed by both aldea
In order to secure advaatare. although
the eommlaalonlata declara that tha
paving question became an independent
Issue after tlie eommisaion question
rama up for conalderatlon. Personali
ties have been engaged In. public offi
cials have been attacked and Harry K.
rrttehman. Mayor, haa thrown himself
into tha breach In tha hopa of centering
tha flra upon hlmaelf to win tha elec
tion. Hla opponanta have admitted
that In view of tha fact ha bad publicly
made tha declaration that tha activity
to eecura a commlaalon for Bolaa baa
been an attempt to recall him. tha eom
misaion. providing It carries, la a recall
not only of tha Mayor, but af tha prea
ant City Council.
g racial Charter laaaa.
In their attempta to defeat tha com
mlaalon tha anti-commlaslonlata have
put up a campaign to aava tha special
charter under which Bolaa la now oper
ating. But few pedal chartera have
been granted to clUea In Idaho. Bolaa
haa operated under ona ainca tha terri
tory haa become a a tat a. but the preaent
charter has been so amended that It Is
unlike tha ona originally granted this
rltv. Tha antia claim that so long aa
Foiaa operates under Its special charter
It will not be subject to tha general la wo
of the atato. and therefore thla city can
rot be forced to comply with laws oper
ative In cltlea which do not bava special
chartera.
Mayor mtchjnan originally refused
ta rail tha commlaalon election whan
petition, en the grounds bo thought tho
law unconatltutlonaL Tha caaa waa
taken to the Supreme Court, where tho
law was held constitutional In every
particular. Mayor Frltchman then set
the data for tha election, but said ha
waa not In favor of commlaalon govern
ment and would do everything poaalhle
to save tha special charter to Boise.
The people, or the commlalon advocates,
reaented the attitude of the Mayor and
the campalrn waa launched.
The wef and "dry" fight has been
brought Into the campaign.

VANCOUVER. Wash, Feb. 21. (Spe
cial.) An open meeting to discuss the
proposed bridge acrosa tho Columbia,
between Vancouver and Portland, on
the Faclfle Highway, will be held In the
Vancouver Commercial Club rooma to
morrow night, at which time the com
mittee from Portland will be preaent.
Thla la to be an open meeting of the
Vancouver Commercial Club and lnvl
tationa have been extended to the clti
sena of the city and county, aa well aa
to Portland, to be preaent and give
their vlewa on the proposed project.
There seems to be a growing aentl
ment that $1,930,000, the estimate given
by Ralph Modjeskl. the famous bridge
builder, of Chicago,-la too high and
that an appropriation of 11.000.000 or
$1,250,000 at the greatest, would be
large enough to construct a bridge that
would meet all requirements. The big
steel bridge over the Columbia, built
by the North Bank road, coat but about
$3(00.000, but this Is the largest double-tracked
steel drawbridge In the
world. The bridge on the Paclflo
Highway need not be ao large as this.
It ta contended by those who want a
lower-priced bridge. It la thought by
them that If the smaller sum la asked
f. r from each State Legislature
there will be a greater chance of get-
U That the bridge will be built there
seems to be little doubt In the minds
of those who are working for Ita auc-cess.
