fore Commissioner Hayden and police

"stand for it." They said, according to
Hayden'a complaint to the Council, that
they received a fixed salary of t a

Republican Nomination May

Friends of Young Man, Once Candi

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

acquaintance over the state. He is

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. Is thought a
great deal of at -home. H. has been
