BITTER BATTLE IN SIGHT
-Chairmen of Political Factions Open
Headquarter and Lay Plans
' lor Vigorous Contest In
All Part of State.
BOISE. Idaho. Sept. ?1. (Special.)
Political decks have been cleared in
this state for the general campaign.
The parties have named their respect
ive chairmen and opened headquarters,
and all signs point to one of the most
interesting- campaigns In Idaho's his
tory.
It is clear that the men heading the
Republican ticket will direct their fire
on the Non-Dartisan element in the
Democratic party. 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.
Chairman Day is well known In fda
fco politics, lie served several terms
in the state Senate from Latah County.
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.
Both chairmen have opened head
quarters in Boise preparatory to start
ing a vigorous campaign. Timothy Re
gan, of Boise, was named treasurer of
the Democratic committee.
Ex-Governor Frank R. Gooding. 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. On the special will be 20
women who have eerved jail sentences
for making demonstrations in front of
the White House on behalf and in sup
port of the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment. Some of the women, prominent
in the women's party, will appear in
prison costume. They will tour through
Idaho, Montana. Kansas. Oregon, Ne
vada, Colorado and Wyoming. The ob
ject of Including Idaho in the itinerary
is to array votes against both Senators
Borah and Nugent.
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.

Hitch dependable thrift
to dependable pleasure
Quite often we find cases like this A man has
been smoking pretty expensive cigars. But he
wishes to hitch thrift to smoking for the
sake of the Government, the Red Cross, the
Y. M. G. A. or the Belgian Relief.
To such men we say: "Try Owl and White
Owl. You will find two cigars of rare inellow
fragrance. You will discover in them unchang
ing fragrance a rare ability to give dependable
pleasure. Their dependability is guaranteed
by a reserve of ever-curing leaf worth always
nearly $2,000,000.
Many have taken the advice, and later said
'Thanks very much."

The site of Columbia University in
the Peninsula district has been sug
gested among others as ideal for the
proposed Government Army reconstruc
tion hosital John H. Burgard, mem
ber of the committee selected by
Mayor Baker to work in Portland's be
half in securing the location of the
hospital In this city, has made the
suggestion. -
Mr. Burgard says that much vacant
land surrounds the university property
which probably can be secured on a
leasing basis and the general loca
tion, with streetcar service and
paved streets, makes the tract Ideal. In
addition several large buildings used
by the university might be utilized by
the Government.
The next meeting of the reconstruc
tion hospital committee has been called
for Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. At
this time the sub-committee headed by
City Commissioner Barbur to list prop
erty which they deem as suitable

effort will be made to secure it, and
