OPPOSITION ALSO STRONG Two Alternatives and , Two Proc - esses of Reasoning Going. On Among Influential Members of Party as to Coming Election. BOISE, Idaho. Sept i4. (Special.) There appears to be a well-defined movement amon; certain representa tives of the Democratic party to exert every possible effort to hold a majority of Its members in line .to vote for the Non-Partisan League candidates nomi nated as Democrats at the recent state wide primary election in preference to bolting the ticket and casting: their bal lots in protest to the league movement for Republican candidates. r On the other hand, a movement is Just as defined on the part of some of the leaders to take votes away from the alleged irregular ticket and regis ter a sufficient number of them for Republican candidates as to bring about a defeat of the league and to thwart its ambitious programme to ain control of the state government. "Democrats la Quandary. The fact of the matter la the Demo erats of Idaho find themselves in a seri' ous quandary as a result of the league's success at the primary In nominating their candidates for Congress and all state offices as Democrats, thereby de feating the regular Democrats running At (he present time there seems to be two- alternatives and two processes of reasoning going on among influential Democrats. Both alternatives have as their very worthy object preservation of the par ty. The first springs from and Is sup ported by the honest belief on the part of many of the Bourbons this can best be accomplished by lending at least passtva support to the Non-Partisan League candidates. The leaders of this thought concede, of course, that the league In most instances succeeded In nominating former Republicans as Democrats, but they point out If the conversion was honest, the Democratic party has lost nothing, but instead has gained in power through the addition ef many new converts. Ambitions Were Blasted. They admit that the ambitions of Democrats for two years more in power in the state were blasted by the sudden witch of the league into the Demo cratic primaries, but say two years from now, with the regular Democrats in line and the Non-Partisans made into Democrats, the party becomes the dominant one in state politics, and will thereafter easily control all congres sional and state officea They are opposed to a fight on the league candidates nominated, and point out that such a fight by Democrats will jeopardise the election of regular Dem ocrats nominated by the party at the primary. In their opinion the league is going to win anyway, and the Demo crats may as well submit to the in evitable, and later reap the reward which after all is destined to go to the Democratic party. Defeat ef Ltuse Planned. The second alternative Is championed by Just as prominent party leaders who believe that the only course to follow is one that will bring about a smashing and crushing defeat of the league next November, definitely terminating its fate as a factor In Idaho politics, and saving the Democratic party so that two years hence it can come back Into power. In their opinion the way to ac complish the end sought is to waive for the present any personal feelings they may have about Republican candidates, 'lay aside their prejudices and keeping their eyes on the principle involved, preservation of the party, use the me dium offered and at hand - to destroy the league. They are for undivided support of the Republican candidates nominated for office. Victory Gave Added Power. It Is conceded that the victory gained by the Non-Partisan League at the pri mary election gave it added power, More votes are likely to be swung to Its support because of the strong show ing made. Nothing wtil be left undone by the league to turn the primary ad vantage into electing the men nomi nated. Many of the leaguers, were for mer Republicans, and while becoming temporary Democrats, they took strength from the Republican party, but this may be offset by the addition of Democrats to the Republican ranks In November. It is a situation that is puasling the shrewdest politicians. F. Glnrlch. board to Deschutes County board: C. X. Howland. board 6 to Har ney County Board; O. E. Goodwin, board to board 7J.
