CLAGSTONE JS AFTER TOGA Friends of Young Man, Once Candi date for Governor, : Bay If Ho Makes Race He Will Be Free From Entangling Alliances. BT C. E. ARNET. WALLACE, Idaho, Dec 16. (Spe cial.) North Idaho has no cinch on the PIONEER OREGON FAMILY.- Republican nomination for a Governor next year, albeit the general sentiment of the big men of th. party have con ceded It to this section of the state. As a result of the exchange of opin ion among th. leaders In Boise on Sep tember 22, Judge Dunn probably held the trophy in the palm of his hand for several weeks. But he refused to cinch the tribute. He let It pass by, and voluntarily so, for he did not want It. Immediately upon his refusal to make the race, several North Idaho ambitious Republicans cam. to the sur face to swell the list of aspirants. County Assessor Dlefenbaugh. of Sand point, being among these, whose an nouncement, coupled with that of Clag ston. and Taylor, makes three from Bonner. Dlefenbaugh has an extended acquaintance over the state. He is Just retiring as the grand master Ma son of the jurisdiction of Idaho, In which capacity he has visited all parts of tha state during the past Summef. Nea Perce Baa Ambitions Oae.

THE GENUINE HAS ambitions. In that Tweedy, the Mayor of Lewlston. who became piqued and resigned. Is out for the Governorship, and George Crumm, former Mayor and State Senator from Lewlston. has been seen as to bis entering the struggle. While the former Is not taken seriously, the latter is likely to stand with Judge Dunn In refusing the distinction at this time. Either Crumm or Dunn are of Gubernatorial stature. That each wish to choose their own time to lay their claims before the people Is a matter of their own business, but that either one might easily make a successful race, free from the other, la a most reason able conclusion. Both are eminently qualified for the place and both ar. men of ability worth space in mem orandum books of the fellows who are keeping tab on men who probably have political futures. State Auditor Taylor appear, to have some trouble getting started In the race. He has a host of friends, es pecially among the newspaper men, but there is a lurking suspicion that be cause Taylor has failed thus far to make positive announcement of his candidacy, he has dreams of sliding out of it and again making- the race for State Auditor. This position Mr. Taylor has held twice, although the added duties, made by a change of the state constitution at the last general election making him a member of the State Land Board has served to give him but on. term in which to make a record with this im portant feature of the position. Clagstone Seeks Toga. Paul Clagstone, of Clagstone, wants the toga. It Is asserted by .his friends, however, that If he makes the race it will be free from any combination with anyone, not even with ' the Saints of the southeast, which constitute such a solid compact and which organization Is presumed to be out for a deal to make Judge Alfred Budge, of Poca tello, the nominee for Supreme Court Judge. Clagstone has made some warm friends in the state. True, he is little known, his public adventures being confined to one term as Speaker and a losing race for the Governorship nom ination a year ago. It la quite fair to state that Clagstone is a bright young man, probably older In both years and experience than he looks, with one ex cellent quality too often remiss In poli ticians, and that is a decided tendency to keep his word. With Dunn and Crumm out of the way and no positive candidate with prcaWjie chances to win appearing on the political horizon, two things have happened during the past week: First, the Mormons have reached out to the north for another candidate, and sec ond, another man from the 'south has been urged to shy his castor into the arena. These men are Judge Steele, of Latah, and Edward H. Dewey, of Canyon, (the County of Governors). Judge Steele has long been Judge of the Second Judicial District. In recent elections he has been chosen without opposition. He has. as all men of pos itive parts, his opponents; but he has strong friends and numbers of them. His colloquy with Governor Hawley Over the killing of Peter Mallack by mob. In Idaho County,- versus the Indis criminate pardoning of convicts from the penitentiary, gave him a recent prominence of state-wide scope. Sagebrush Folk: Busy. His strength In the north as a can didate, however, would not have to be considerable to win. If he becomes the north-end support of the Budge-Supreme Court scheme, . so anxiously sought by the brethren of th. sage brush plains. Seriously, the two things which appear to halt progress in this deal In the north of Idaho is the fear, on the one hand, that the Mormons of Salt Lake may have the conviction that the' country is going Democratic and decide, as is their system for more than 50 years, to land in with the majority; and on the other, the close alliance throughout the state, for more than 25 years past of the Budge control of politics. It is well remembered that the Judge's father was a- distinguished member of the State Senate in 1899, and that he had been active in so-called church Influence in Idaho politics. It has not been the desire of the Mormons to test their strength with the people of the state, until a time more distant from the season of the late unpleasant ness In politics in the state, wherein the Domocratio party for two cam paigns became a pur. and simple anti Mormon party. This suggestion of a righteous fear of aspiring politicians has no sort of personal bearing on Judge Steele. It is a general feeling which may have Its bearing on any or all who have or may aspire for the race, through overtures to enter the Budge combination. Ed. Dewey, of Nam pa.
