In answering at tacks made on him by a representative of the league in his home county, Frank It. Gooding, Republican candidate for hort-term Senator, makes this evident. The loyalty of the leaders and work ers of the league, is to be seriously Questioned. It is likely that the Democratic party will try to elect Its Congressional dele gation and other regulars, but is uncer tain as to the remainder of the ticket. which la Non-partisan. Tw Moves Deemed Significant. The action of the Democratic State Central committee in electing Jerome J. Day. of Moscow, state chairman to suc ceed W. R. Hamilton, is regarded in political circles as a direct elap at the Non-partisan League, which is seeking to elect its candidates on the Demo cratic ticket. Apparently, while the Democratic party lost practically all of its state nominees to the league. It is still in control of the party machinery. League leaders admit that the selec tion of Chairman Day Is not particular ly to their liking. It is well known in political circles that both Harry L. Day and Chairman Day are opposed to the league and its programme. Prior to the primaries Mr. Day was outspoken in his opposition to H. F. Samuels, the league candidate for Governor, who was successful at the primary in de feating K. A. Van Sicklin and Frank Martin, regular Democrats. The back ers of both Van Sicklin and Samuel tried to induce the candidate opposed to their favorite to give the latter a clear field. Both remained in the race and Samuels was successful in seizing the nomination. Day Is Political Leader.

Two years ago he would have made the race for National committeeman if a preferential vote could have been had. but the opposition then In control stood out against him and he refused to en ter the race. The Republicans met and organized without conflict. Stephen D. Taylor, former State Auditor, was elected to succeed himself as state chairman. Paul Davis was named secretary. Davis was formerly Identified with the Progres sive party. The candidates met and named a committee of seven to assist the state chairman as the executive committee.

Re publican nominee for short term United States Senator, has directed his guns on the Non-Partisan League, indicating the fight on that organisation is going to be a boated one before the campaign closes. The ire of Mr. Gooding was aroused by the appearance In his home county of Horace Mann, a league organ izer, who Is alleged by his statements to be In sympathy with William Hay , wood, recently sent to prison for sedi tious utterances, who figured as the principal defendant In the dynamite trials with Moyer and Pettlbone. Goodlag to 'Wage Fight. Gooding was Governor of the state during the same trials. His opponent on the Democratic ticket who has the indorsement of the league. Senator John I Nugent, was associate counsel for Moyer-Haywood and Pettlbone. Idaho Is to be visited by the "Prison Special to wage a vigorous campaign on behalf of the woman suffrage amendment.

The alleged shortage reported by State Auditor Clarence VanDeusen of J284.T3&.61 In the irreducible trust funds (if the state may have an important bearing politically before the present campaign is over. This shortage will have to be made good by the stare and probably the next Legislature will be called upon to take action along that line. The last Legislature authorized him to audit the land department books and records from 18S5 up to June 30, 131 J. The task Is not as yet completed. The State Auditor declares that other reports ha will file will show that thousands of dollars have been lost to the stats through the under-appraise-mcnt of lands, and the disposal of lands at much less than their real value.
