IDAHO PRIMARY LAW
WILL BE ASSAILED
Republicans Want Changes
Made, but Will Not Ask for
Measure's Repeal.
LAND COMMISSIONERS OUT
H. Q. 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should not be repealed.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.

STUDEUT'FEELSW
Blind Man Has Brilliant Rec
ord at Oregon University.
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.
GRADUATES FIND POSTS
SEVEN FROM UNIVERSITY OF ORE
GON HAVE HIGH SCHOOL PLACES.
Most Important Position Obtained by

tained under the school of education for
the purpose of placing qualified gradu

received from superintendents for
teachers.
Men qualified to coach athletics and
teacto science have been notably in de

and adjacent points are promised.
Word comes from Weed that prac
tically the entire force of the lumber
mills there win be here to back their
baseball champions.
