Hale, However, Is Reinstated on Reported Promise That He Will Resign Later Progress ives to Have No Tickets. BOISE, Idaho, June 24. (Special.) The direct primary law will draw the fire of platform conventions to be held in this city Tuesday. Buffeted about since its enactment by every session of the Legislature, a bone of contention during- the platform conventions of preceding campaigns, the act providing for the direct nomination of candidates has been repeatedly amended, cut off here and added to there until the orig inal authors would not recognize their offspring. It will be the Republican state plat form convention that will demand sweeping changes in the law. None of the conventions will declare for the re peal of the law. While many of them wish to. they know it would be a grave political mistake. If the friends of the law and those against it could reach some common ground it might be satis factorily remedied by amendment, but those against it insist on a repeal and those for it are just as insistent it should not be repealed. Progressive Split Forecast. While the Republican and Democratic state platform conventions are in ses sion here the Progressive party will probably not exercise its right to promulgate a platform. It did not exer cise the ri&ht to name delegates in the various counties to such a convention. Tf a stand is taken it will be on the National platform adopted at the Chi cago convention. Party leaders say it is reasonably certain that the Bull Moose party will not attempt to put a state or county ticket in the field. Instead the strength of the Progressives, which will be ef fective in swaying the balance of power, will be used to ride into office men of progressi'e tendencies. The definite attitude of Idaho Pro gressives will largely depend on the stand Theodore Roosevelt takes. If he declares for Justice Hughes, the Re publican nominee, the strength of the party will be divided, some swinging to the Republican party and others to President Wilson. Progressive party leaders are silent as to what stand they will take. Clean Sweep Move In Demand. The demand for a "clean sweep" for the Republican state ticket is growing" in Idaho. It attained marked impetus following the return of Republican delegates from Chicago. - Statements made by such men as State Chairman Evans and E. H. Dewey, indicate that the desire for a "new deal" all around is gaining strength. It has every ap pearance of a desire to renominate at the primary election in September an entirely new set of men not heretofore connected with the statehouse or any of its numerous scandals. - Some leaders are said to be of the opinion that it would be useless to go before the electors next Fall with a partial "statehouse" ticket because of the determination growing among the voters for new men. This may arouse strong opposition against one-termers In the Capitol. Already Fred Fisk, of Parma, in Can yon County, has come out as a candi date for State Treasurer against John W. Eagleson. Incumbent. The fight that is being made on Mr. Eagleson is his appointment of L L Folsom in the handling of State Treasury land mat ters. Mr. Folsom has. however, come out as a candidate for State - Auditor and will hold much of Mr. Eagleson's strength. It is also certain that a northern man is being groomed to cor- . test Secretary of State Barker's rlgrlt to a second term. This means a merry fight is to be engaged in at the pri mary election. Careful Selection Advised. After he returned from Chicago E. H. Dewey declared: - "Members of the Republican party In Idaho should endeavor to induce strong, upright men of ability, ,to run for state offices this coming election. They should be men for whom we will not have to apologize to the public In any way. and men who are capable of filling the ofice which they seek, who have the interests of the people at heart, at all times, regardless of their - future political career. "There has been a general demand for some time past to have the State house cleaned out from cellar to attic, and unless we do this, we will be cleaned out by the Democrats. The Republicans have promised that they would clean house, and they should put forth every effort at the coming pri maries to select new men and do away with the policy so long followed by publlo officials that of selecting their successors to office. There are some matters which it will be necessary for the Republicans to condemn and I think they should do so in unmis takable terms. In other words, we should say to the public that we stand for good, clean government, and when ever any of our candidates falls to carry out our pledges we should put forth every effort to defeat him. . "There are many prominent and high class men seeking office in this state and from them, we can select a ticket that should win in the coming cam paign." Land Commissioner Keslarn. State Chairman Evans has called a meeting of the state committee for Boise on the date of, the platform con vention. June 27. Mr. Evans has been to Washington for a conference with the Congressional delegation. He also went to . Chicago to attend the National-convention. Soon after his ar rival in Washington it leaked out here that he telegraphed Secretary of State Barker to demand forthwith at a meet ing of the Land Board the resignation of George A. Day, State Land Commis sioner, who has been under fire for some time.- Chairman Evans had de manded Mr. Day's resignation, but had failed to secure it. Mr. Barker tried to get it on Instructions and also failed because the board deadlocked. The Washington - conference resulted in an Indorsement of Chairman Evans determined stand. The Land Board is rapidly perfecting a. three-ring circus. Judging from the antics or & majority of the members the past week. They scoured and ac cepted "with thanns" Mr. Day's resig nation, but reversed themselves on the reglstership matter, reconsidered the vote by which Register Heber Q. Hale was ousted and reinstated him under, it is now asserted, . a "gentlemen's agreement" that later he will resign. Either Dean Perkins, of Boise, or reir vr. jonnston. or ciacKtoot. one of the Republican leaders in the south eastern part of the state, will succeed Mr. Day as Land Commissioner, it is now sara. Mr. Day's resignation was accepted by unanimous vote. It was presented by Attorney-General Peterson, who has had it in his possession for several days. At the same time the Attorney General presented a resolution of thanks calling attention to the lare amount of business done under Mr. Day's administration and extending to him thanks for his services.

AVERAGE FAR SURPASSED Thesis Just Filed Deals With Think- ingr Processes of Sightless. Ambition Is to Win Schol arship in East. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, June 24. (Special.) One of the most credita.ble academic records ever com pleted at the University of Oregon has Just been filed with Registrar A. R. Tiffany. The student is stone blind so blind that he cannot tell the bright est sunlight from the darkest night. With this handicap Leslie .Burton Blades worked his way through a university course so- brilliant that he never received a mark below "H" (honors) or "S" (superior). Of all the students who attend the university not 25 per cent rise above "P" (pass) or 'M (medium). If Leslie Blades had spent his whole course at Oregon he would have re ceived beyond question the high gradu ation honor of "magma cum laude," but he came here only two years ago from Colorado College and the Colorado State School for the Deaf and Blind at Colorado Springs, and, therefore, could not qualify under the residence rule. Blind Thought Described. Blades -yesterday filed his thesis at the university library. It is a volume of 22,000 words entitled "Preliminary Survey of the Mental Imagery of a Blind Subject," It Is an effort to set forth in strict scientific terms the way a totally blind person thinks. It appears that the blind do not "see the visual images that flash through the minds of most persons dur ing t!ie thinking process. The blind man remembers and recalls sounds, odors, muscular effort, and impressions of touch, but "visualizes" either not at tll. like Blades, almost not at all. Blades has been a well-known fig ure on the campus and streets of Eu gene. Tall and erect, he walks rapidly, with a quick nervous step. He ofien has serious falls, but it is his principle that he would scorn to creep and feel his way through life. He prefers to stalk along-, with head erect and arms swinging, and to take his occasional overturn if he muse He asks no odds in life. He is am bitious, and is an applicant for a scholarship in a famous Eastern uni versity, where he expects to go 'next year for advanced work in his speci alty, psychology. While here, besides his course in the State University, he has taken work in the near-by Eugene Bible University, the theological school of the Christian Church, and has at times filled near-by pulpits. Objects Are "Kelt." A "consciousness of walls" is corn- on with Blades. As he passes across the campus he senses the nearness of different buildings as he passes them. He even feels some of the university buildings are hospitable and friendly, while against others he has acquired a dislike. He senses and teels the cam' pus trees about the same way. His senses are very keen. A dog trotting across the campus at a considerable distance will attract his attention, and he can identify it for size and direction. Among the most telling parts of Blades' description of his experiences are his descriptions of a hike over & mountain trail, and his way of pictur ing to himself the feeling of an East ern Oregon landscape as it would come to him on reading a passage from Parkman's "Oregon Trail." Interesting, too, is his description of throwing a baseball, which he cannot see, to a catcher distant In the dark, and of his waiting to hear It strike the mitt.
