E FOR IDAHO LEEADR OU OUT IN RAG jovernorship of Gem State Alluring to Quartet Who Seek Honors. CLAGSTONE IS LOCHINVAR Through Dlirrt Primary Klllon for Nomination of C'aulli!atr Is Yfir DNtant, "Call of Wild" Has IVrrn Ilraril Afar. FT C. E. AKNRT. BOISE. Jdho. July 1. SpclaL) Although the. direct primary election for the nomination of candidate of the rpctlr parties In Idaho la a year away, there are four candidates for the Republican nomination for Gorernor: 11 more or less acla In th xrrclse f Industry looking to a gratification if political ambition. Thre of thes are from the north ini one from Southern Idaho, and It la fe to relate In pusstn: that these four men do not ponsesa the sum total f Republican ambition In this partlcu !ar direction. Four es.-Ilepubllca.il Gov. jrnors stand by looking on with Jealous DPtlcs at the, effort of Paul flagstone, J. F. Allshie and Stephen 1. Taylor, of tha north, and L. H. Ssreetser. or tne south. to capture this distinction. These are William J. McConnell. John T. Morrison. Frank R. Gooding and lames H. Brady. Claastone Is the latest "Loehlnvar' to "come out from the West" and his proposal to again submit hlmseJt comes as a surprise to many ir"ho reason along natural political lines, rolltk-al lII.tory To Ycara Old. Clagstone aa first heard of In the political arena of the Gem Ftate when he came to the Legislature from Koote aal County In the Winter of 10. as a candidate for Speaker, and won. iur Inc the session hei made a few close friends among the House members, the leading ones being Mccracken, or Ada. and Thompson, of Canyon County: both f whom hare been active In spurring elm on to gubernatorial honors. In the campaign one year ago. Clagstone ram out for state-wide prohibition, the first to to announce, and later when Brady lit on a platform pledging this reform, be found Clagstone to be first In title In the hearts of those who would make this Issue the king pin of the campaign. By this Clagstone fell' heir to many prohibition Toiee within the Republican party, which Brady expected. On the night of the count of the di rect prtraary result. Clagstone IssMed a statement from Spokane In which he promised to go to the courts with tne proof at hand that both his opponents for the nomination. Brady and U'Nell. had spent money to obtain the nomina tion In excess of the amount provided by law and that he would disqualify tha winner when declared by the returning board to be the .Republican nominee for Gorernor. Later he so qualified his threat as to apply only to Brady, who had won In the primaries. Clagstone came to Boise and em ployed a lawyer: traveled away to Rex burg and procured the story of the Glb-soa-Brady purchase of tlva Rexburg standard, and returned to Boise, where he consulted additional counsel and re sponded to Interviews In assurance of his determination to fight. Then came on the state platform committee meeting and the gathering of the party leaders. At the close of this function Clagstone. Ilka the Arab of old. "quietly folded his tent and stole way." and next Is heard of at Coeur d Aleut City, near his stock ranch, pre siding at one of Governor Brady's cam paign meetings. All-hie on Second Term. Judge Allshie Is serving his second term as a Supreme Court Judge. He Is adroit In politics and the most abnorm ally ambitious man In the state today. Those who know Judge Allshie best credit htm with a burning desire to go to the United .States Senate. They view his more toward the Chief Executive chair as of the stepping-stone brand of politics. While the Judge quarrelswith nobody, he makes clear his own desires to succeed Heyburn from the north. Heyburn resides In Shoshone County, while Allshie vote In Idaho, and ad Joining county. So far as Allshie" opposition to Hey hurn Is concerned It Is but passing. Had Borah no better grip on the people than Heyburn. the Judge would aa readily aspire to be a colleague of Hey burn as he does of Borah. S. D. Taylor Is the Auditor of tha state. He Is serving hl second term, lie halls from the northern county of the state. Bonner, and from the most northern town of any slse. Bonner's Ferry. When at home Taylor Is the editor of his weekly paper, the Bon ner's Ferry Herald. For nearly a quarter of a century be has been In the newspaper business In Idaho and )ils fellow craftsmen take quite kindly to his ambitions. It Is fair to say of Taylor that his ambitions are viewed with slncery to be Governor and Governor only. He has fixed Ideas clh the question of as sessment and collection of taxes and of handling the funds of the state, which he hopes to fasten on statute book and In the hearts of tha people. Swcetecr Passes, for Farmer. Lewis IL Sweetser is a South Idaho candidate, living la Cassia County. Sweetser passes for farmer. He la a Yale man and has been twice Lieutenant-Governor of Idaho. His cam paign Is not taken with any great de gree of sincerity. He Is a pleasant, af fable gentleman: talks- well and often for print but avoids advocating any original plan to Improve the material, the social, the mental or the moral standard of affairs In the state. Tne ex-Governors all have their friends for par,T leaders, but all have t ielr "coppers." W. J. McConnell was Governor from 1SJ to JT and la re garded as a "has been." Besides ha Is t!ie farther-ln-law of Senator Borah. He is now a Federal employe and In his travels over the, state Is taking harp exceptions to the manner In which Governor Hawley and Auditor Taylor are conducting the affairs of their respective offices. His argu ment are chiefly constitutional In character and more or less profound for a layman to originate. J. T. Morrison held the chair of Oovernor In Idaho for one terra only. 1J-1S. He was talented, clean and honorable but had lots of trouble with th politicians. He waa turned down for a' second nomination and hla fol lowing In the state has always urged his right to further recognition, es pecially as th executive of his adopted late. Oovernor Gooding served two term, aticceeedlng himself by a greatly re duced majority over the remainder of hi party ticket. He gave hi entire time to the office end did the best he knew with the high trust. His Inculca tion of the Ideas of La Follette took such possession of him during the clos ing mrinths of hla regime as to set him firmly In opposition to the rail roads of the state, of which the people are In need of more. This idea, coupled with hi radical prohibition view serve to beset his ambitions with united op position of a formidable character. Brady .Still Has .Following. Governor Brady has a following which served htm but a few months since In state positions, which makes him a quantity to reckon with In the raoe. He was defeated, however. In the election last Fall, when the. re mainder of his ticket pulled through, thus hampering, to considerable e-s tent, his stock In trade for renomlna tlon. . Clagstone- candidacy mlxee the sit uation In the north, leaving odds for the seven northern counties In Taylor's favor but maklag Allshie the most formidable candidate, because of his better standing with the Mormons of the southeast, who hold the balance of power. Other candidates for Republican Gubernatorial honors may appear. The time Is not at hand for favorites. Among other new men of business ac cumen and stern party regularity are Guy Bowerman. the St. Anthony hank er; John M. Haines, the ex-Mayor of Boise, and Barney F. O'Netl. the state chairman who went to defeat as a candidate last year through a righteous fear, as state chairman, that Brady could not defeat a popular Democratic nominee. If Governor Hawley I not the nom inee of his party, the Democratic, as SESSION FRIDAY Albany Chautauqua Makes Up Splendid Programme.

LEGAL POINT IMPORTANT EASTEKX OKEGOX CASE PASSED OX BY ATTOKXEY-GEXERAL. Srhool lions. Erected on Unpat ented Government Land, Does Xot Become Part of Freehold. SALEM. Or.. July 1. (Special.) A legal point which has created consid erable Interest In Eastern Oregon waa passed upon In aa opinion of Attorney-General Crawford this week In re. sponse to a request from District Attor ney F. W. Wilson, of The Dalles.. A school district near Madras erected a s'choolhouse on unpatented Government land, which was later taken up by a homesteader and deeded to him. He contended that the echoolhouse be longed to him under tha old rule, that the schoolhouse became a fixture and part of the realty. This opinion was concurred In by the District Attor ney, who, however, passed It up to the Attorney-General. The Attorney-General cites an Ore gon case In which It Is held that the old rule governing fixtures has be come greatly relaxed under modern conditions. He states that the school waa not constructed aa an accessory to the enjoyment of the freehold; that It Is not necessary to, and cannot be used for, purposes of agriculture and la not such a structure aa an agricul tural occupant of the aoll would con struct for hla own benefit and that originally the building was constructed for public use and was not placed on the land with the Intention of It be coming a part of the realty. In his opinion, basing it on these grounds, he states that the school house does not become a part of the freehold and that It could be removed by the district within a reasonable time. He goes further by holding that the district may even condemn the land on which it is situated If It so desires, the right of eminent domain having been extended to school dis tricts by a statute of several year' tending. He hold that the school house would not be figured as a por tion of the price which the school dis trict would be required to pay In starting condemnation- proceedings, but the district would be required only to condemn for the reasonable market value of the land taken Into consideration.

Frl- day and Saturday, July 6, 7 and 8, will be the best fair of Its kind ever given in Salem. , ' This year there will be four big pa rades with some added features which will be worthy of the committee's labor. The first pageant will be Thursday morn ing at 10:30 o'clock, and will be the for mal opening of the fair. This will be a civic, historical and Industrial parade. The historical feature of this parade will be new. and Its purpose will be to represent the growth of the Willamette Valley from a wilderness to Its present prosperous and civilized stage.

Old-time fiddlers will also find an op portunity to display their talent for the first time In a number of years.
