TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 25. (Special.) With the state-wide primary a year away and the city election in April, the political pot is beginning to boil right merrily. In the city there are two commissioners to be elected In April and present indications are for a field of 50 contenders for the two Jobs. In state affairs, the governorship and legislative candidates are the only ones that have come into the fore-, ground. Fierce County will have candidates In the primary race on both party tick ets. Governor Lister, of Tacoma, Demo crat, undoubtedly will seek re-election; James McNeely, of Buckley, prominent lumberman and former member of the Legislature, lias announced himself in the field for the Republican nomina tion and is already hard at work. W. II. Paulhamus, of Sumner, has been urged by friends to make the race and is at least in a receptive mood. Mr. McNeely and George A. Lee, the latter former Assistant Attorney-General and later chairman of the State Industrial Insurance Commission, are the two most active candidates in the field yet, closely followed by Roland Hartley, State Representative from Whatcom County. J. E. Frost, former member of the State Tax Commission, and ex-Governor McBride are said also to be work ing quietly. IV. W. Conner to He In 3ace, W. W. Conner, of Skagit County, Fpeaker of the last House of Represen tatives, says he expects to be out next year for his place in the Legislature. The Young Men's Republican Club came to life the other, day and at a meeting attended by about 200 formally indorsed Mr. McNeely for Governor, de spite protests of friends of Mr. Paul hamus. The club also named a com mittee to get after the County Com missioners to urge them to cut the 1916 budget and help carry out the campaign promises of the Republicans last election. Calvin J. Carr, Treasurer of Pierce County, who was being talked of as a candidate for the Republican nomina tlon as State Treasurer to succeed Bd Meath, of Tacoma, says he will seek election as County Commissioner to succeed W. II. Reed, the only Pro gresslve left in office. City Election to Be Lively. There is no dearth of candidates for the two city commisslonerships. Com mtssioner of Public Safety A. U. Mills and Commissioner of Public Works Owen Woods are' the two officials whose terms expire. Both will likely be candidates for re-election. Mr. Woods has held office at the head of the public works department ever since the commission form of government was established in Tacoma, winning each time by tremendous majorities. Lorenzo Dow, former member of the State Legislature, former Prosecuting Attorney, and Bull Moose National com mitteeman, is openly canvassing the iieid and declaring himself in the race He wants to be Commissioner of Pub lic Safety. m--v L. Davis, prominent In the Rotary and Ad Clubs, is a young men's candidate. F. H. Pettit, who landed Commissioner of Public Safety when L. W. Roys was recalled and was then defeated when Mills was elected. is anotner probability. J. B. Hawthorne, member of the last legislature and prominent contractor, Is said to have his eye on the post of rommissioner of Public Works. R. A. B. Young. L. T. Stayton and August Etnhaus are said to be determined to nave another try at it. John F. Meads, City Controller for many years, will seek re-election.

Corner on Executives Maintained for 12 Years by South IM silked and Candidates Appear Two -Federal Places Open. BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 25. (Special.) That E. H. Dewey will not be a candi date for Governor in the Republican primaries in 1916 was the interesting development in political circles here this week. It came as a surprise to party leaders, many of whom had counted on the ex-Mayor of Nampa as one of the strongest men mentioned for gubernatorial honors. There had also been some talk that United States Senator Borah favored him. It is generally believed here that If Senator Borah had a. favorite he never let it become known and that because of his stand for the direct primary he would not attempt to in terfere in a free-for-all race. The first intimation the party lead ers here had Mr. Dewey would not be in the race was received during the week from Southwestern Idaho leaders, following a political meeting at Poca- tello while Senator Borah was there. There was a lot of political talk at the time and numerous candidates were mentioned but no hats were thrown in the gubernatorial ring. Captain E. G. Davis, ex-assistant attorney-general, is the only announced candidate. Many From North Suggested. The northern part of the state will make a strong bid for the Governor ship because the honor has gone to the South for several terms. Governors Frank R. Gooding, James H. Brady, James H. Hawley, John M. Ha'nes and the present chief executive. Governor Moses Alexander, all hall from Southern Idaho. The same thing is true of ex- uovernor John M. Morrison, now a resident of Boise. In the past 10 or 12 years, then, the south has had a corner on the Gov ernorship, which the north is inclined to resent. The result is that there has been a lot of grooming of candidates in the panhandle. Such men as George Cram, of Lewis- ton, James H. Allshie, of Coeur d' Alene, and Herman H. Taylor, Lieutenant Governor C. W. Heitman, of Rathdrum, nd E. E. Elliott, of Bonners Ferry, have been prominently mentioned. When Mr. Allshie, ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, now engaged in schools and two grammar schools. opened for registration here this week and are gradually getting under way, tL W Una- Ait,r .-, a y i V.

His evasive answers have lead many of the leaders here to be lieve that he may get into the race. He ran for United States Senator at the last primary and was defeated. It is, therefore, problematical among lead era as to what his strength would be in a gubernatorial fight. But the South is prepared to harvest its usually heavy crop of candidates. Besides Captain Davis, ex-Governor John M. Haines, defeated by Governor Couple From Australia Attracted by Alexander, believes that he can come DacK ana nis inenas say ne win do in 11 of McMlnnvllle and vicinity. He also said that attendance has In creased in both the senior and Junior high schools. The senior high school on its first two days had a greater enrollment than at any time last year. The St. James Catholic School also resumed this week, with about the usual number registered. HOOD RIVER IS ADMIRED Fair Kxhiblt Visit Valley. wnnn RIVER. Dr.. Sent 25. CSDe- dial.) Attracted by the community's orchards, its scenery and because they had seen the exhibit at the Panama- Pacific Exposition, people not only from tVj four corners of the United States, but from every section of the globe have visited the Hood River Val ley this Summer. But the Apple Valley has entertained no more enthusiastic tourists than Mr. and Mrv L. M. Shoobridge, of Hobart, Tasmania, who made a mecca today of Van Horn s Butte, the point from which the great colored panorama of the orchard district, hung in the Ore gon building, was taken. "The picture captivated us, declared jvirs. ssnoo- brldge, "and we could not return to Australia satisfied without seeing the real Hood River Valley."

Gooding, of Shoshone, ex-state Senator, at one time president pro tern of the Senate; ex- Governor Frank R. Gooding, of Good ing, his brother, twice chief executive; D. W. Davis, of American Falls, ex state Senator also, whose friends assert that in proper time he will announce his candidacy; John W. Hart, of Menan, president pro tern of the Senate, and others. In casting about for Administration candidates the names of such men as W. G. Bissell, of Gooding; C. D. Smith, of Pocatello; C. H. Potts, of Coeur d' Alene, and John Becker, of Orofino, have been mentioned for Attorney-Gen eral. The candidacy of Howard L. Hoppes, auditor for Jefferson County, has been announced for State Auditor. He will have opposition from candi dates in several sections of the state. Mr. Justice Sullivan to H Chief Justice Isaac N. Sullivan will be a candidate to succeed himself as Justice of the Supreme Court. That he will have opposition in the non-partisan race for Justice under the terms of the primary law is expected by party leaders, The distribution of two Federal plums in the state has brought about some peculiar situations, and reports have been current that because of one of them Idaho may be left without one of its representatives In Congress. The office of Clerk of the United States District Court became vacant in the death of Len Richardson, veteran clerk of that court, and so far no appoint ment has been made by Judge Frank S. Dietrich. The office pays on a. fee basis. The maximum amount of fees per annum clerk can accept is $7000. all over that amount must be turned in to the Government. The office fees have gone over the $7000 mark many years. Place Offered Mr. McCracken, Tale. Th position is virtually good for life. Because of the friendship be tween Judge Dietrich and Robert M. McCracken, Representative in Congress, reports have been in circulation to the effect that the position has been of fered to Mr. McCracken. Close friends of the Federal judge say there Is no truth in the report. Should such a situation arise, Idaho would have to hold a special election to choose his successor. Mr. McCrack en's backers assert they elected him to Congress and propose to keep electing him as long as he will remain there, which would indicate there is little likelihood he would accept the Federal Court position. The second Federal plum Is that of Register of the united States land of fice for the Hailey district to succeed John E. Williams, who died. Every county in the district will have candidate for the office, it is said. There now are five prominent Demo crats mentioned; Benjamin B, Gray, of Hailey: W. E. Abrahams, of Burley W. R. Hyatt, of Minidoka; Henry M. Hall, of Shoshone, and Don Reed, ex state Senator from Lenhi County. His residence is Salmon. Mr Gray Early In Race. The candidacy of Ben Gray has been announced. He has been spending th week in Boise getting Democratic lead ers to line-up behind him and recom mend his name for nomination. Many of them have given their consent. Hi early announcement caught some of th other aspirants by surprise and pre vented many of them from getting into the race. Mr. Gray has been state chairman of the Democratic party an served a term as state game warden The argument used by his opponents against him Is that he has held offlc enough an dothers who have not should have a chance.

Many of tne upper-ciassmen are postponing their return until the first week in October, and, although no data has been prepared In the office of the registrar, except the total registration figures, it is evident to inose laminar with the student body that the incom ing freshman class, augmented by those bringing credentials of advanced stand ing from other Institutions, will total the largest number of new students In recent years. A large number of those bearing aa- vanced credentials are from Eastern and Middle West universities and col-legea. The Portland high schools are wen represented in the freshman class, and there is an unusually large number from California, Washington and other neighboring states.

Miss Alice Whitney, a well-known beauty doctor of Detroit, Mich., re cently gave out the following state ment: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, promote its growth and make it soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ox. of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com pound and Vl oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug-, store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a sray-haired person look 20 years younger. It is also fine to promote the growth of the hair, relieve itching and scalp disease, and is excellent foe dandruff and. falling hair." Adv,
