PUBLIC SUSPICION SEEN Plan of Nominating- Officers Actual ly Under Ban Though Men Re sponsible Tor System, Brady and O'Neill Get Blame. BY C E. ARNEY. WALLACE. Idaho. Feb. I. (Special.) No political settlement ss to whom the Republican candidate for Governor shall bo haa resulted from the extra session of the Idaho Legislature, as pre dicted by several of the leading lights of tho party prior to Its beginning three weeka ago. One additional candidate from the north and one from the south have been brought into tho limelight one a law yer from Moscow, Judge Warren Truitt; the other a merchant from Montpeller, Exra A. Burrell. Judge Truitt Is an old practitioner of the North and haa lived in Moscow for many years. He has represented his county In the State Senate and haa been In many of the state conventions of bis party for the last IS years. Ex-Lieutenant-Oovernor Burrell is a hardware merchant of Montpeller and Is well known over Southern Idaho. He has been In that portion of the state for the past 20 years or more, locating first at Blackfoot, but for the last 15 yeara living in Bear Lake County, iraaalmlty of Sentiment Lacking, There Is not a unanimity of senti ment In the party of the state as to the wisdom of actually settling on a candidate for Governor. It is the con tention of the devotees of the primary system now in vogue In the state, that there ahould be no concentrating of sentiment on any particular candidate for Governor or any other state of fice. Such plan Is eharacterlxed by Candidates Tweedy, of Lewlston. and Clagstone, of Bonner, for Instance, as a movement to defeat the purpose of the primary plan of nomination through connivance savoring of the former plans adopted In state conven tions. Those rwho have In mind the ex pediency of a tacit agreement as to who shall be the Republican nominee for Governor in advance argue that the political exigencies of the situation require caution to the extent that wis dom be used in the selection. Those politicians favoring the agreement as to candidates and other offices point to the trouble of two years ago with the direct primary plan of nominations on trial for the first time. "Look at the result two years sgo." aid a prominent politician yesterday, "with Brady and O'Neill spending any where from 150.000 to 75,000 each to secure a nomination. Clagstone started out to prove that Brady spent more than he waa entitled to under the law and then stopped without going through with the Investigation. Had he puraued hla plan he would have made himself Invulnerable this time aa the party'a candidate for Governor, but he fell flat when he quit, and ao did the inquiry." Rich Man's Game Been. No matter what aentiment exists for the direct primary, the Initial trial given It In Idaho, especially through the Brady and O'Neill candidacy, fixed in the minds of the students of politics in Idaho that the game of politics for the higher offices especially was a rich man's game. It Is true that atlgma with aome attachea not to the svstem but to the men responsible I. e, Brady and O'Neill but with many the plan of nominating officers Is actually under the ban of public suspicion. The Republican la the majority party In Idaho. It has held away in tho atate for the past ten years, with pronounced majorities, except alone the defeat of Brady in the Fall of 1910 by Hawley. This waa more personal than politi cal. There was grave suspicion that Governor Brady was not sincere in his many activities; and ho cannot be pass, lve. The matters of comment at the time which served to lose him votes were the Mackey dam and kindred public worka In the state which he waa charged with neglecting for politics and the local option question, whicn ne was charged with favoring because It was the popular thing to do at the time. Withal, there la the suggestion that the ex-Governor will again make a political race, not for Governor, but for Congress. A large number of the papera which came to hia support two years ago are the foremost in their demand for him to enter the Congressional field at this time. If he does, his campaign will serve to detract from the candldatea for other offices. Including the Gov ernor, which, up to date, has been the whole show. But Brady's campaign for anything will attract attention. Ha la a good "Jollier, and a ready spenaer. and makes the most of his time when he la before the people for their fran chise, which experience he thoroughly enjoys. As hinted at previously, the State of Idaho during the present year Is going to have one of the most Interesting campaigns of her 22 years of making political history. SERVIAN CABINET RESIGNS Discovery of Army Plots Against King Contribute to Downfall. BELGRADE, Servla, Feb. 1. The Servian Cabinet haa resigned.

Another reason given for the resignation is that the supported af forded by the Parliament to govern ment haa declined considerably. Many School Applicants Fail. VANCOUVER. Wash, Feb. 1. (Spe cial.)
