OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) Filings for the state primary
election on September 12 clOBed at 4
o'clock today with sufficient Republi
cans listed for United States Senator.
Representative in Congress of the
First, Fourth and Fifth districts, Gov
ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Superin
tendent of Public Instruction and State
Treasurer to invoke second choice
voting for these officers.
The Democrats failed to And candi
dates for State Auditor, Land Commis
sioner and Attorney-General. 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. Savidge, Land Commissioner,
have opposition for renomination on
the primary ticket. Eight Republicans
are contesting the nomination for Gov
ernor and Governor Lister has one op
ponent. No second choice voting is re
quired on any Democratic nomination.
A fourth Republican filing for Super
intendent of Public Instruction was
made today to force a second choice
vote, in opposition to the incumbent,
Mrs. Josephine C. Preston.

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.
Come on in, the laughings good!
