Pre-Convention Lineup Takes
Active Shape.
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

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.

WASHINGTON. Fib. IS. Such
phrases as "over the top" and "liai

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

suits so creditable," General Drum
said, "that we have little or no need
to borrow tactical doctrines from a
foreign country." 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.

Judge Sanford B. Dole Holds State
hood Impossible at Present.
HONOLULU. T. H., Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) Judge Sanford B. 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. He is convinced that
statehood is impossible under present
and likely future conditions and he
believes that future conditions under
the present system will also be im
possible. Judge Dole's remarks have found a
vehement echo in certain portions of
the business circles of the islands.

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.
