4r In State's History.
FRANK GOODING IN RACE
Opposition Develop Against XT. S.
Senator in Candidacy of,. Frank
Iu Moore, of Moscow, Well
Known Democrat.
BOISE. Idaho, Ana-. J. Party leaden
In Idaho ara confronted with ona of tha
most complex political alt nation In
tha state's history.
Tha Non-Pa rt!an League baa been
baled Into court to show cause why Ita
proposed atata ticket to be launched
la tha Democratlo party ahould not be
barred from tha ballot. State Chair
man W. R- Hamilton la behind thla
more, while tha azecutlTa committee of
the Democratlo atata central commit
refuaea to b held responsible tor
nay action against the league. Effort
on the part of both factions to agree
tipon a ticket have ao far failed.
Instead of Senator John F. Nugent
being; given a clear field for renomina-
tlon to aucceed himself. James H. I law
ley. one of the Democratic leaders, has
filed against him. Opposition haa de
eloped against United States Senator
William E. Borah and a candidate In
tha person of Frank L. Moore, of Mos
cow, haa been filed against him by the
Democrats. Senators Borah and Nugent
bave been Indorsed J) y tha Non-Par U
saa League.
Fraak Gaedlaar la Race.
The entrance of Frank R. Gooding
Into tha race for the Republican short
terra gubernatorial nomination means
that an interesting primary fight will
be made for his opponent ia James F.
Allshie. of Coeur d'Alene. Mr. Gooding;
made tha public announcement that he
would not Indulge In any political
speech-making, during the primary
campaign, but would devote his time to
making war addresses or speaking on
the fuel administration.
After a conference with Secretary
Garfield. Mr. Gooding decided not to
resign as Federal Fuel Administrator
for tha state until after the primary
election. There are a number of Im
portant fuel problems to be settled be
fore he atepa out of office. In hla plat
form Mr. Gooding declarea ha will
"unstintlngly" support tha Government
In carrying out Ita war programme and
will be found back of every act that
alms to bring about a victory for tha
United States and her allies. He In
dorses national prohibition, woman
suffrage and legislation favorable to
laborers and taxation of war profit.
.tie condemns profiteers.
Kens-PartlaaBe la Caart.
After hearing argument on the
peremptory or alternative writ applied
for to bar tha Non-Partisan League
from riling, the court held that It did
not have Jurisdiction Insofar aa Issuing
restraining order agalnat tha Secre
tary of State was concerned, because
the county In which that official re
ides ia not within the aeventh Judicial
district. In other words, the state
chairman found himself In the wrong
court with application to check the
Secretary of State In taking official
notion.
The oourt contended that tha law
providing a suit to enjoin a publlo offi
cial must be Instituted in the county In
wmch that official resides. This waa
tha contention of tha Non-Partisan
League and It waa confessed by coun
ael for State Chairman Hamilton. The
court therefore ordered tha Injunction
dissolved Irrespective of the fact coun
eel for the chairman vlgoroualy pro
tested.
While the action Of -State Chairman
Hamilton did come aa a surprise to
many of the Democratic feeders yet the
laci ma litigation waa instituted in a
District Instead of the Supreme Court
caused aonre little speculation. The ex
ecutlve committee of tha Democratic
t to Central Committee at a meeting
beld prior to tha Institution of the
etlon apparently was not In close
touch with tha atata chairman.
Active Crl(a Proseeed-
This committee waa authorized to
r"l the party In Ita future action.
However, prior to Its creation. Chair
man Hamilton had employed counsel to
determine the party's legal rights. Both
tha committee and counsel went to
work In different ways. The com
znlttee held, after deliberating, that
the best course that the party could
pursue would to put up a straight
ticket and fight the league ticket at
the primary election.
"In order," says the resolutions of the
committee, "for the Democratlo party
to meet the unusual condition - and
Invasion of Its party by another, ooll-
tlcal organisation. It I advisable that
Jt should have but one candidate for
each office. We therefore recommend
to all Democrats that In the comlnr
primary election tney center their sup
port upon one man for each office; that
when there Is more than one candidate
I or eacn, onice, this support be given
to the one who shall develop the great-
eat strength and that a second -choice
vote be given to the next strongest."

to the anniversary of Great Britain's
entry Into the war and the prepara

menting on the annlveraary, the Times
says:
"We are passing through a period
of upheaval which may be more preg
nant with good or evil than the French
Revolution or the downfall of the Ro
man Empire.
"In America the reaulta have been
the clearest and most Immediate. Her
people have risen to the height of her
destinies, and In so rising have realised
for themselves that Germany haa made
them a nation as ahe had made us an
empire In a truer and larger aense than
before. The development of a new
sense of America's duty to humanity
in tha mind and conscience of her
people haa been immeasurably the most
momentous event of the fourth year of
the war, and may be by far the most
momentous of oar times."
