Progress ives this year offer only six candidates for nomination to state offices and the Socialists are not represented in the state primary ticket through failure to poll a 10 per cent vote in the last election. Candidates Number 124. This year's filing by candidates for nomination with the Secretary of State numbers 124, including Senatorial and Judicial districts which include more than one county. The Secretary of State collected a total of $5285 in fees, which ranged from $3 to $75 "in individual amounts. Edward Parker, of Naches, filed once by mail and once by tele graph, remitting $75 each time in order to make certain that his candidacy for Representative in Congress from the Fourth District would not be omitted. An unusual feature of the primary preliminaries was the filing as a Re publican for United States Senator of Mrs. John B. Allen, of Seattle, whose late husband was territorial delegate in 1S8S, and one of the state's first United States Senators, serving from 188D to 1893. Mrs. Allen is elderly and failing in health and is entering poli tics over the united objection of her family in an effort to win the office once filled by her husband. She tele graphed the filing fee of $75 in order to make certain that her filing would be learally qualified before the time ex pired. W. V. Tanner, Attorney-General, and Clark V.

EX-CHIEF JUSTICE FEARS BOSS RULE Political Pirates Declared to Be Plotting to Gain Con trol in Idaho.- WARNING GIVEN VOTERS s James F. Allshie Says Bis Business Proposes to Place Henchmen In Every State Office and to ' Reign at Legislature. " BOISE, Idaho. Aug. 12. (Special.) Hints that political pirates and com mercial bandits seek to control not only state offices, but are tenaciously trying to fasten their grip on the next Legislature of Idaho have aroused widespread curiosity lately. The primary election campaign In Idaho is in full away. On September fi the voters of this state will express their preferences at the polls for partv candidates. "The warning of James F. Allshie. ex- Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, two and four years ago a candidate for United States Senator, in an interview, has aroused a great deal of interest in political circles here and over the state. He said: "If the voters of Idaho do not arouse themselves and take a lively part in politics and in the primary election to arrest the hands of political pirates and commercial bandits, they will wake up next Winter to find a Legis lature and a Governor in the State Capitol at Boise ready to do the bid ding of these mercenaries. Thla men ace should be Impressed on the minds of the voters by disinterested citizens by men and women who are not can didates for office. Blsr Bnslaess la Accused. I have been in Idaho over 25 years and I believe I am safe in saying that at no time in the history of the state has there been such a concentrated ef fort on the part of big business and corporations, foreign and domestic, to contaol certain offices, especially the Legislature, as is being put forth at this time and at no time have the peo pie been, to all appearances, less alert to the situation. "The high tide of what has been derisively styled 'agitation' and 're form' seems to be subsiding and while that is transpiring, the gum-shoe agents, 'special representatives' and salaried attorneys of these interests dominated by greed who want leglsla tlon that will give legal sanction to their loot, want to control public of fices and name appointees from among their retainers all these are now busy getting candidates out for office. Voters) Need to Be Warned. "I know something of conditions in Idaho and I feel that every voter in the state ought to be urged to take i active interest in the nomination of candidates, especially for the Legisla ture and Governor, and, if after the primaries are over, they find that they have not cleared the ticket of all the machine and corporation candidates. that they finish the job at the general election, irrespective of the political party to which the candidate may belong. "Idaho has suffered irreparably in reputation and commercial welfare alike during recent years on account of being dominated by machine politics that most people feel has been the source of corruption in her public busi ness and offices. This has been the condition in state politics and unfor tunately it has reached into a number of the counties as well. If men buy their way into office it stands to rea son that they are going to be reim bursed from some source." Governor Race Thrilling;. The primary campaign has been con ducted by both of the old parties in a quiet, peaceful manner without issues of any great importance having been raised. While there is a decidedly interest ing fight on for Representative in Con gress and for a number of offices on the state ticket, the Republican Gubernatorial contest is by far the most interesting. George E. Crum, of Lewiston. and Herman H. Taylor will divide the vote in the eight Northern Idaho counties. D. W. Davis and Cap tain E. G. Davis will divide the vote in the south. D. W. Davis will prob ably poll a greater vote than Captain Davis in the north. Captain Davis ex pects to break into the southeastern counties with large majorities. D. W. Davis, will, however, carry Power, Ban nock and some of the large counties there. Captain Davis has made a non-factional fight, declaring his independence of the machine bosses and has attacked statenouse transactions. D. W. Davis has championed a plan to turn some of the state's resources into money and lower taxes, air. crum fias argued for a business administration. Mr. Taylor has declared for safeguards around the and and other state departments and greater economy in the administration of state affairs. North Wants Representative. In the Congressional race Addison T. Smith, candidate to succeed himself. Is safe. He will be renominated. The contest is for the second seat held by Hobert M. McCracken. Besides Mr. Mc- Cracken, Burton L. French, ex-Representative, and E. E. Elliott, State Sen ator from Bonner County, are con testants. Strong argument is being made to give Northern Idaho one of the Representatives. Both are now from the south. This may operate against Mr. McCracken. The situation in the Democratic party is not so difficult to figure out. There are but two real contests on. They are for Lieutenant-Governor and Secretary of State. James H. Frazier, of Couer d'Alene. and Ernest L. Parker, of Cot tonwood, seek the nomination for Lieutenant-Governor. For Secretary of State William T. Dougherty and Joseph Hansen are candidates. The Women's party has turned its attention to this state, figuring it a ripe field for converts to its cause the proposed Federal amendment. Mrs Albert C. Muhee and Jane Pincue have been delegated by that party as the vanguard to carry on the work of the cause in Idaho. They have established their headquarters in Boise and dis tricted tne state.

The passage of the bill in Con ress "authorizing the cities of Marsh field and North Bend to utilize the Coos Head government reserve for park purposes is the result of three years' work by J. W. Bennett, Dr. L B. Bartle and C. L Reigard. and the authority provides the cities with an area of wonderful possibilities. The Government haa given almost absolute control of the 200 acres com prising the reserve into the hands of the cities, and provides for a park commission of three members, two from Marsbfield and one from North Bend.
