IDAHO IN NEED OF
DIRECT PRIMARY
Voters Now Are Not Able to
Give Free Expression to
Their Desires.
QUESTIONS MUCH INVOLVED
Main l-'eatures to Come Before He
publican Convention Are Nomina
tions of Borah for Senator
and Gooding for Governor.
BOISE. Idaho, July 14. Many people In
Idaho are wishing this state had a direct
primary law. That is because the politi
cal complications are such that It is prac
tically Impossible in many of the counties
to secure an expression of the choice of
the voters on some ofthe Important ques
tions that are to come before the Republi
can state convention.
W. E. Borah, candidate for Senator, is
asking the state convention to make a
nomination for the position. Governor
Gooding Is a candidate for re-election.
These are the two absorbing features so
far as the state ticket is concerned. In
one district, the First, there has been a
bitter contest over the nomination Cor the
position of District Judge. In another,
the Sixth, there Is a sharp contest that
Is likely to confuse the situation. The
delegates to the state convention consti
tute the delegates to the judicial district
convention.
Under these circumstances there could
be no direct expression at the primaries
In Shoshone and Kootenai Counties, com
prising the First district, on any ques
tion but the Judgeship.
Fight Centers on Judgeship.
The energies of all the leaders were
centered there upon the contest between
District Judge Ralph P. Morgan, candi
date for renominatlon, and Robert N.
Dunn, who aspired to the place. It opened
in Shoshone County, where the friends of
Judge Morgan were successful. There a
candidate for Governor was brought Into
the field, and when the county conven
tion met It Instructed the state delegation
to support this candidate. Dr. Hugh
France, and also to support Judge Mor
gan. Neither the Governorship nor the Sen
atorshlp was fuirly before the people In
the primaries. In a broad way. however,
the successful faction was friendly to
Borah, and assurances are given that the
delegation will vote for his nomination
for Senator.
In Kootenai County, which held Us
primaries on the th. the friends of C. Ij.
Heltman were successful. They support
Dunn for Judge, and. as that county has
more votes In convention than Shoshone.
Dunn will be nominated. But there, as in
Shoshone, the people did not vote on
either Governor or Senator, but solely on
Judge.
As Heltman. the leader of the successful
forces, is a supporter of the Governor, it
Is believed the state delegation will be
solid for the latter. Whether Borah will
have any support from It Is not known.
Pact Between Gooding and Borah.
As is well known to those who have
followed the politics of this state this
year. Governor Gooding and Borah have
agreed not to Interfere with each other.
But conditions are such that they feel
they cannot aid each other. Governor
Gooding is under obligations to J. H.
Brady and Judge J. H. Beatty. candidates
for Senator, not to assist Borah. Tf the
two men could come together the contest
would be ended the convention would be
a mere ratification meeting as to these
two offices. But. as they cannot come
together, many counties are left hanging
in the air.
Among the followers of both there is a
measure of suspicion. Some Borah men
fear the. Governor will not play fair and
some Gooding men fear Borah will be
false to his agreement. Consequently
there Is a disposition to hold any ad
vantage possible until the last moment.
Owing to the attitude assumed by the
Governor toward Brady and Beatty long
ago. he cannot permit a county controlled
by him absolutely to instruct for Borah,
though Borah may be very strong there.
Likewise In a county absolutely con
trolled by Borah his friends will not be
likely to instruct for Gooding. It is for
two reasons, one the desire to hold back
until they find there Is no ground for the
charges of bad faith against the Governor,
and the other an unwillingness to offend
the friends of Dr. France.
Complication in Ada.
In Ada County, for instance, the home
, of Borah, the chief interest In the pri
marv must be his candidacy for the
Senate. There will be an opposition
ticket, as is now understood. There is a
candidate for State Treasurer. This Is
John W. Bagleson. who belongs to a fac
llon opposed to Borah. it Is also the
home of Judpre Beatty. who is anxious to
have the convention plan defeated. Brady
will also be interested In carrying the
county against Borah, as that would
throw It against the plan of making a
nomination In convention.
Governor Gooding could carry the coun
ty for Governor In a direct primary, but
he cannot Join hands with either of the
forces that will tight It out in the pri
maries, because he has agreed to keep
his hands off the Senatorial matter and
he could neither help nor tight Borah in
his home county. There is no question
that the Governor will get the vote of the
delegation, but that will come about
simply by a consensus of opinion that he
should not be shut out.
The only county conventions held so far
have been In Shoshone. Blaine, Bear Iake
and Bannock. Blaine gave no instruc
tions, but the delegation Is claimed to be
for both Borah and Gooding. Bannock
instructed for Gooding and against the
nomination of a candidate for Senator.
That Is the home county of Brady. Bear
Lake did not Instruct Its delegation, but
It is also for Gooding and against Borah.
Fremont In Favor of Borah.
The primaries have been held in several
others. The two that are of esnecial In
terest are Fremont nnd Idaho. The
former is another nf the poutltt. of h
southeast. There the eon fusions s-ra--me-
e the enforced eMltvde of rfth
fin Mr" l"'t eTfH ther nr ac
centuated. It has long been In favor of
Borah for Senator. His supporters there
have always comrolled the county In
recent years and are believed to be in
control now. But that county is in the
section which has been claimed for
Brady, and the latter has many friends
there. ,
The primaries were held with practically
no contests, and in none, so far as
learned, was either of these questions in
Issue, it is claimed by everybody. The
Borah leaders state positively he will
control the county convention: moreover
they are friendly toward the Governor as
a rule.
Borah will do nothing to Interfere with
the Governor s having the vote of the
delegation, but his friends there, or a
number of the leaders, say the attltudeof
the county on that question will be held
In abeyance, for the reasons that have
herein been explained.
The especial friends of Mr. Brady Insist
that the county has gone overwhelmingly
for Governor Gooding, and that it will be
against the nomination of a Senator. The
especial friends of the Governor claim
the county for him. but make no claitns
on the Senatorial matter. Those, how
ever, who have heretofore controlled the
county and who are believed to be still in
control, claim unqualifiedly that it will
support Borah and that It will vote for
Gooding "if he plays fair."
Efrort to Prevent Nomination.
The effort now is on the part of the op
ponents of Borah to head off the nomina
tion plan, and there is no doubt that
great pressure is being brought to bear
on that point. In pursuance of that plan
he is being implored by some southeast
ern leaders, who want him in the field to
defeat Dubois, to withdraw his statement
that he will not be a candidate unless he
be nominated by the convention. He will
not withdraw it. and those southeastern
counties which are especially interested in
defeating Dubois will have to choose their
positions accordingly.
It looks at this time as though Borah
would have the three largest of those
counties and make his nomination cer
tain, but if there is good foundation for
the claim pf the opposition that Fremont
Is against a nomination, the same decis
ion may run through all of them.
Idaho County is developing a very in
teresting situation. Its primaries were
held on the 9th. There appears to be no
opposition to the Governor, but Justice
Allshle is credited with having conducted
a campaign to prevent Indorsement of the
plan of nominating a Senator. It Is even
suggested by dispatches from the north
that the Judge has an eye on the Sena
torship himself, thinking it might fall to
SOLO SOPRANO, FOCRTH PRES-
BYTERIAN CHURCH.
Miss Gladys t, renter.
The lucky possessor of a hlgrh. clear
colorature soprano voice. Miss Gladys
CJrenler, a member of Mrs. Rose Bloch
Bauer's Tuesday afternoon class. Is

Fourth Presbyterian Church, and has
manv musical friends who admire her
fine slnglns and personality. Miss
Grenier is of French extraction.
him in the whirl of the caucus wheel when
the Legislature meets.
Borah has not expected very much from
that county, and his friends have been
agreeably surprised at the strength which
the dispatches represent to have been de
veloped for him there.
Gooding Will Be Renominated.
The net result of a careful canvass of the
entire field is that no reason appears to
doubt that Governor Gooding will be re
nominated without serious opposition. It
does not seem possible that a contest will
arise between him and Mr. Borah during
the remaining 20 days before the meeting
of the State Convention that would throw
any considerable proportion of the Borah
forces against him.
If the opposition to Mr. Borah can con
vince enough of his friends that he should
not be nominated in state convention,
making them believe he will still be a
candidate, they may succeed in defeating
him. That does not seem possible, for
Borah's friends generally are lined up on
the theory that the way to be for him is
to be for him In the State Convention.
That point will be determined when the
Fremont County Convention meets on the
18th.
While Borah can lose that county with
out losing the tight, loss of it would indi
cate that the plan of the opposition to
force friends of him into opposition to the
plan of making a convention nomination
for Senator is making headway. At pres
ent his friends are confident the state
ments being put forth as to the attitude
of the county on that issue are merely for
effect.
Bold Stand Taken by Bentley.
There has been some interesting discus
sion of the subject by leaders in the con
test. It began with a letter sent out by
Senator Hcyburn. in which he opposed the
plan. This was followed by a statement
by Borah, in which his attitude was set
forth at length, part of this statement
having been published by The Oregonian.
Judge Beatty next entered the field. He
took bolder grounds than any of the oth
ers, declaring that an election of one
nominated by a state convention would be
Invalid. On this point he said:
It Is worthy of reflection that If Sena
tors are not legally elected, the Senate of
the United States can and should deny
them admission. I assert that any man
elected by the Legislature under such
coercion and direction by another body,
that its members do not exercise their
judgment and perform their duties ac
cording to their official oaths. Is not
legally elected, and should not. and I
think would not be admitted, if the facts
were laid before the Senate.
There is no stronger reason why a con
vention should not attempt to Influence
the election of a United States Senator
than that the Constitution directs that the
legislature must elect. It is argued that
this Is a bad law. Then change it. and
the people will do so when they conclude
It is bad. It is safe to assert that the
mass of thinking, loyal Republicans every
where oppose it.
If a convention may substitute its will
foV tlie law. so may an Individual, a so
ciety, a church or any organization, when
dissatisfied with a law. Those who advo
cate anv evasion of any law. Indirectly
aid the Socialists and anarchists in their
nefarious work. Only by obedience to the
law as it exists can we have a govern
ment by law. Let us not forget that when
any law becomes obnoxious to the strong
majority of the people of this land thev
will change It. Until they do so let It be
obeyed. ,
It Is understood Mr. Borah is preparing
a reply to this legal conclusion announced
by the Judge.
Other Republican Candidates.
While all other candidates are over
shadowed by the Senatorial and Guberna
torial matters. It should be mentioned in
a review of the situation that Robert Bra
gaw is a candidate for re-election as State
Auditor, and that Judge George H. Stew
art, of the Third District, who sat In the
dynamite cases In the -oeur d'Alenes in
1899. is a candidate for the place on the
Supreme Bench.
Attorney-General Guheen is asking to
be renominated for Attorney-General and
Robert N. Bell would be willing to have
his present place as Mine Inspector. Gu
heen has made a useful official, while
Bell, who has served two terms as Mine
Inspector, has performed Invrinable serv
ices for the mining industry.
i
LAUGH AT THE HEAT
Houseboat Dwellers Solve the
Problem of Summer Comfort.
THEY ARE ALWAYS COOL
Fully (2000 Portland People Live in
Floating Cottages Anchored
Along the Shady Banks
of the Willamette.
While the unfortunate thousands who
must work and eat and sleep within the
confines of four wails these hot and sultry
nights are moodily cursing the climate,
the fortunate few who own or occupy
houseboats are tasting the real Joys of
living. Along the banks 6f the Wil
lamette between Portland proper and Mil
waukie are more than a hundred of these
craft, and each has itt' full quota of in
mates. Some of the boats furnish the
summer habitation of bachelor clubs,
while others are occupied by families.
A trip over the car line along the water
front of the Bast Side, from the Madison
street bridge south, will give one an idea
of the number of houseboats now In use
in this city. It is a safe estimate to place
the number of people living on the water
this summer at close to 2000, and when
the census of them is taken it will prob
ably run some over this figure.
The cool, delightful breezes that hover
over the waters are the main attraction
that lends to the joy of houseboat life
during the summer months, and the occu
pants of these craft seldom know what
it is to toss sleepiessly of a night, trou
bled with the hot, sultry atmosphere.
They are free from restraint and go
about during the day with but just
enough clothing to satisfy the proprieties
and are not required to put on frills.
Here also can one enjoy a good, healthful
meal, which is r. boon the unfortunate
city dweller doe not fir.d possible.
While the residents of the houseboat
colony do not have the bracing ealt air
of the ocean beaches, the river atmos
phere has practically the same effect.
While one has not the benefit of the salt
water bath each day. a plunge in the cold
waters of the Willamette leaves little to
be regretted.
Convenience is an argument that most
people use against houseboating, for tho
majority of persons claim that going to
and from a boat of an evening is not en,
tirely satisfactory, owing to the delays
encountered, yet if they were to try the
experiment once and find out for them
selves they probably would discover that
most of the inconvenience Is imaginary.
The houseboat dwellers travel to and
from the city almost as fast as do the
residents of the town proper, and are
rarely delayed in going to work or to the
theater.
Several ot the more affluent houseboat
residents have gasoline launches and mo
tor boats as tenders to their summer
homes, and these craft, together with the
numerous rowboats and sailing yachts,
furnish diversion of an evening, as the
habit of racing has grown and the riv
alry sometimes furnishes some interest
ing sport.
READY FOR TRIAL TRIP.
New Steamer, Kitsap Goes on First
Run Xext Tuesday.
The new steamer Kitsap, which was re
cently built for the Kitsap County Navi
gation Company of Seattle by Joseph Sup
ple, of this city, will be given her trial
run next Tuesday. This was announced
last evening by Joseph Supple, the builder,
and the route ver which the vessel will
be taken has not yet been decided upon,
for it is the desire of the builder to allow
Captain E. W. Spencer, who will have
the helm on the trip, to select his own
course. It is probable that the vessel
will be taken to the mouth of the Wil
lamette and back, or may even continue
down to Kalama.
The engines of the vessel have been
Installed and all her furnishings are prac
tically complete, and as soon as she is
given her builders trial she will be taken
to the Sound for the owner's test.

Courts Order Defendants Removed
to Oregon for Arraignment.
Habeas Corpus Asked.
United States Attorney Bristol last
night received a telegram from Oscar
Lawler, United States Attorney for the
Southern District of California, stat
ing that District Judge Olin M. Wel
born, of Dos Angeles, had sustained
all the Government's contentions with
regard to the Los Angeles defendants
in the Oregon land frauds, and had
signed an order (or their removal here
for trial. Lawler announced further
that all those involved in the proceed
ings before Judge Welborn had immn
diately applied to Circuit Judge Ross
for a writ of habeas corpus, and that
the matter would be heard by the latter
July 24.
Mr. Bristol also received a dispatch
late last night from Edward W. Dixon,
chief of Oregon field division, special
agents of the General Land Office, stat
ing that in the course of the proceed
ings at Appleton, Wis., yesterday, af
fecting the question of the removal
here of the Wisconsin defendants in
the land fraud cases, the United States
Commissioner had bound the latter
over for removal to Portland for trial,
and that they had immediately sued
out writs of habeas corpus, which were
set for hearing July 26 before Uniced
States Judge Quarles, of the Eastern
District of Wisconsin, either at Madi
son or Oshkosh, Wis.
These cases are the ones wherein
two other United States Commissioners
had previously ordered the discharge
of the defendants upon the plea that
the Government had not made out a
case against them, notwithstanding
the prima facie evidence of their guilt
contained in the indictments returned
by the Federal grand jury of this
state. The Commissioners had ob
viously exceeded their authority by
their rulings, and it was the contention
of the Government that they were act
uated by political motives in their
findings. For this reason the Depart
ment of Justice at Washington, D. C
ordered the rearrest of the defendants,
with the result indicated.
It is not thought that the efforts of
the defendants to escape being brought
here for trial will prove of much avail.
StS,S,CURE5 CATARRH
Catarrh cannot be washed away with sprays, inhalations and such treat
ment, nor can it be smoked out with medicated tobacco, cigarettes, etc.
When you attempt to cure Catarrh with such things you are wasting time
and allowing the impurities and poisons in the blood, which produce the
disease, to get so firmly rooted as to become not only a disgusting trouble,
but a very dangerous one. The annoying symptoms of ringing noises in the
ears, "hawking and spitting," headaches, mucus dropping back into the
throat, impairment to the senses of taste and smell, and a feeling of general
debility, prove that there is a deep-seated cause for Catarrh. This cause is
a polluted and unhealthy condition of the blood, and the disease cannot be
cured until this is removed. The only way to get rid of Catarrh permanently
is to purify the blood, and S. S. S. is the ideal remedy for this purpose. It
soon clears the system of all impurities, purges the' blood of all catarrhal
matter and poisons, and effectually checks the progress of this disgusting
and far-reaching disease. S. S. S. puts the blood in perfect order, and as
this pure, healthy blood goes to every nook and corner of the body Catarrh
is permanently cured. Book with information about Catarrh and medical
