DAVIS, PATCH ARE OUT rosilive Announcement or Candi dacies for Governor and Senator Are Made. BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 28. (Special.) The pre-convention line-up of con gressional and state nominees in the republican party is beginning to take definite shape. The positive an nouncements of Governor D. W. Davis and Lieutenant-Colonel L. V. Patch that they would be candidates for governor and United States senator respectively, clarified the situation. There was much doubt and no little speculation as to whether the gov ernor would run to succeed himself or try for the senate and as to what Patch would do. oppose the governor for re-nomination or attempt to go to the senate. It has been broadly hinted that there is a combination in existence, but this is emphatically denied by both Governor Davis and Colonel Eatk Th former says that he is giving way to the urgent demand of his friends and supporters who wi, ., m l.ari the state ticket agair Colonel Patch has given it out that he is going into the race for the sena torial nomination free of all ties and combinations and hopes to secure on his merits. No Primary This Year. One thing that is likely to be lost sight of as the campaign develops is that there is no statewide primary this year, but insteao a convem.u. ,.,v.iv, win nominate the party candi .,. rrv trffort will be made by the nominees to win the support of uitnd in that conven tion. Those delegates will be elected a: the primary whicn nominates m legislative and county candidates. Leadership and combinations, grades and balancing of the ticket to get it as nearly geographically correct as possible, will be engaged In when the d.i.if assemble. To make the ticket successful it will have to be representative of all sections of the state. That these sectional demands are not only quite possible but probable is even this early indicated. Northern i,i.hn for instance, has but two known candidates at the present time, Congressman Burton l. rrencn. v e..-c.H himself from the First dis trict. and M. A. Kiger. speaker of the house of representatives, who is in the race for governor. Congressman Vrnirh'n nomination is conceded. Kiger has a hard and difficult fight on his hands because uovernor uavu i n out-and-out candidate to sue ceed himself. An effort is even this early being made to bring republicans in the north togetner. in a rewu issue the Spirit Lake Herald. pub lished in Spirit Lake. Kootenai county, had this to say among oiner mings Rlger Is Lauded. "The announcement of Speaker Kiger of Kootenai county, that he has decided to become a candidate for the nomination of governor on tne re publican ticket, gives the northern counties of the state a candidate upon whom they can and should unite. u'u.o- i an able man. He made an excellent speaker of the house and his experience in public affairs amply equips him for the duties ot governor. In practically 40 years of state hood we have had but one governor from north Idaho. Isn t It time to call attention to this long-continued policy of injustice? Isn't it time the south two-thirds of the state should adopt a fairer course of treatment toward the north? Shouldn't this be a good time to adopt .such a policy? Aren't we entitled to have some voice in the administration of the state's affairs other than that or coniriDui ing our share of taxes necessary to un the wheels moving? If the northern counties will unite upon Mr. Kiger as their candidate and go down to the convention as a unit in his sup port he could no doubt be nominated. Reports Are Denied. But the north will also have its can didate for United States senator as well as for governor, judging from authentic information that comes from Washington. Captain Albert H. Conner of Sandpoint an overseas veteran wounded in action, who since his return to the United States has been held at Washington assisting in legal work at the provost marshal generals' office, has made it known to Washington friends that he will be in the race. Major H. H. Armstrong, a well- known mining engineer of the north ern part of the state, and a close friend of Leonard Wood, has been in Boise for several days endeavoring to straighten out the Wood-for-Fresl-dent organization started in Idaho Because of the personnel of the club the impression gained headway that it was an anti-Borah organization. Major Armstrong declares that it is not anti-Borah nor is there any de sire on the part of the leaders in the movement to start a fight in this state against any candidate or set of candidates. Republican Pout Filled. Chrer in Bonneville county Oscar Jchannesen has been honored by the republican national organization by being selected Idaho campaign di rector for the ways and means com mittee. This is considered a re sponsible post. Robert H. Elder of Coeur d'Alene. democratic national committeeman for Idaho, has gone to Washington and while there will con fer with democratic national leaders. Down in Minidoka county a boom has been started for Senator S. P. Atherton for governor. lean doctrine of tactics and the es tablishment of a system of uniform instruction in all military schools is the aim of the training section of the general staff, according to high officers here. So-called "trench war fare" was onlv a nassins: episode in military history, in the view of the officers, while the fundamental prin ciples of war are the same as those employed by Napoleon at Jena and by Grant at Gettysburg. This policy was stated to students of the present class at the army serv ice schools at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., by Brigadier-General Hugh A. Drum, director of the line school, who was chief of staff of the first army overseas. "Our experiences in the European war have been sufficient and the re- SALESMAM DIES AS RESULT OF AUTO ACCIDENT.

Such phrases as "over the top" and "liai son." which were a common part of the parlance of war literature and conversation, are doomed to disap pear from American military phrase ology and will not be included in the army textbooks of the future. The new field service regulations of the United States army and the manuals of the various arms of the service, now being prepared by the general staff, will differ in but minor details from the regulations in force before the world war and will show prac tically no traces of the passing vogue of foreign methods.

General Drum said such terminology aa open, posi tion," "stabilized" and "trench" war fare would not be lecognized or em ployed, as the same tactical princi ples apply to all of those so-called classes of warfare. Just as General Pershing insisted on training the American expedition ary forces for "open" warfare, so at the service schools. General urum said, "the inculcation of an offensive spirit, which must be the primary ob ject of the course, is best obtained by the study of open warfare offensive situations." At the same time it is the plan ox the general staff to make due allow ance for new weapons developed in recent years, especially infantry weapons, such as the one-pounder runs, automatic rifles and machine guns. These weapons have made nec essary the creation of several new units and slight modifications of old infantry formation. Foreign words will be eliminated from the terminology of the man uals. For example, "information" will take the place of "liaison." "Liai- son officers, a war product, will be known hereafter as "information of ficers." The service schools will compile their own textbooks. General Drum said, and German authorities studied before the war will be discarded. While the use of new weapons has caused sopie changes in organization. it must not be forgotten, officers em phasize, that infantry remains the principal branch of the army and that other services are auxiliary arms. In this connection it was recalled that General Pershing, in a letter to the chief of the air service commenting upon the functions of airplanes, said that "an air force by iself cannot ob tain a decision against forces on the ground." "An air force, the general added. 'acting independently, can of its own account neither win a war at the present time nor, so far as we can tell, at any time in the future." Veterans Who Exercise Preference Right May Make Final Proof , on 7 Months' Residence. ROSEBURG, Or., Feb. 28. (Special.) No county will benefit as much by the opening of the Oregon & Califor nia grant lands as Douglas county. When title was revested in the gov ernment approximately 680,000 acres of land were withdrawn from the tax roils, their valuation being 86,000,000, or one-filth or the entire valuation of the county. There was delinquent approximately 8340,000 in taxes, which were subsequently paid by the gov ernment, the money being devoted principally to road work. With the opening of these lands, as authorized by the secretary of the in terior, the county can tax homesteads wherever the government releases title, and within a few years it is be lieved that many thousands of dollars will have been returned to the assess ment rolls and the iurden of taxation considerably lightened. Interest la Keen. The Roseburg land office reports that great interest in the grant lands has been displayed by the ex-service men. Hundreds of communications have been received requesting infor mation and it is evident from the nature of the inquiries and the per sistent requests for more detailed data that former soldiers will freely exercise the preference right given them. Many veterans will be able to select suitable homesteads and to make final proof upon them with only seven months of actual residence. The law provides that ex-service men shall be given credit on their time of residence for the number of months spent in the service. It is required that a resi dence be established for three years before final proof can be made, but in the case of service men, who have had 90 days' service in the world war or Mexican border operations, the amount of time spent in the army, navy or marine corps or other branches is subtracted, provided. however, that the credit shall not ex ceed two years. One year's residence is required, regardless of military service, and more if the soldier has served less than 24 months. Absence Is Allowed. The law further provides that on proper notice the ex-service man may absent himself for five months, thus being able to obtain credit for a year's residence by only seven months ot actual presence on the homestead. It is stated at the land office that, due to the failure of classification lists to arrive, no definite information is yet obtainable. It is impossible to give correctly the number of acres of agricultural land open to entry and it will not be until this information is received from Washington that those desiring to file applications will be able to learn the classification of the land they desire. m UP STAIRS THIERS IJESTAKE THE eLXATOR SAVE $ IQQQ SUITS THAT GAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE- ON THEIR MERIT ALONE and not on outward appearance.

Dole, the first and only president of the Ha waiian republic, in a public communi cation urges the need for a commis sion form of government for the Ha waiian islands.

Judge Dole's remarks have found a vehement echo in certain portions of the business circles of the islands. M MEN ORGANIZE TRI-STATE ASSOCIATION PLAX OF GROWERS. IS Object of Body to Eliminate Specu lation and Improve Conditions of Grain Production. BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 28. (Special.) The wheat growers of Idaho, Wash- ngton and Oregon have decided to organize into co-operative marketing associations with a central non-profit exchange through which all of their wheat will be marketed. While the growers in each state will have an organization, they will combine in tri-state organization as well. For the purpose of organizing Idaho a committee will be active in the north and a second one in the south. The northern committee has been selected and is composed of H. J. Herman of Genesee, chairman: R. R. Fluharty of Culdesac, secretary; J. S. Thompson. Moscow; E. G. Ferdinand nd George W. Stevens, Grangeville. Dean Iddings of the University of Idaho has appointed Howard T. Lewis, professor of economics, as his, nom inee on the organization committee. The form of organization is purely co-operative and non-profit both in principle and practice. The growers who become members of the organi zation hope to improve their condi tion and at the same time eliminate speculation in wheat in the north west, which has caused such a heavy loss to them in the manipulation of the market.
