The ripht of United States Senator John F. Nu Rent, junior member from Idaho tn tbe upper halls of congress, to suc ceed himself is being questioned by those in his party who have never been classed as his admirers and who believe that even if nominated he cannot be elected. It had been gen erally taken for granted that Nugent would escape opposition in the next ftate convention. But it Is now clear this is not to be. Anti-Nugent forces have been busy for the last few months. If Nugent is to be nominat ed it is clearly apparent he will have to start oiling up his political ma chine, and that quickly, for the oppo sition has an excellent start. Democrats who do not believe Nu gent can be elected even if nominat ed, have exceptionally strong prospec tive senatorial timber in William M. Morgan, present chief justice of the state supreme court, who may decide to enter the race. Fight oa IVogrnt Began. Democrats are greatly Interested in a report that appeared in a recent issue of the T.in Kails Chronicle, edited by W. M. Stevenson, former state senator from Shoshone county, at one time editor of the Wallace rress-Times, and for many years rlosely identified with the interests of Harry L. and Jerome J. Day, promi nent mining men, to the effect that gent was actually on. have always been Iu gent men are now in me open iui Morgan." said that paper, "and they are frank in their statement of rca sons, not that they feel less kindly toward the junior senator or are less ardently his admirers. They still bear him good will, but they feel that he cannot win. Either Patch or Gooding can take his measure. His alignment with the Nonpartisan league and other radicals was responsible for his elec tion two years ago. But tha: associ ation is now a Lability, since the so ciaiist vote of 7000 will ni t follow tt tut will swing w!tb the national so ciaiist" ticket Jlra Mentioned for Governor. State Chairman Day having issued the call for the state committee to meet at Moscow and the time and place for the state conventions having been fixed, democrats are casting about to get a lineup on candidates for the congressional and state of flees. No less than nine men are men tioned for governor, which is not to be taken as an indication by any means that all of them will be in the race. They are former Governor Al exander, Boise; Judge James R. Both- well, Twin Falls; W. T. Dougherty, former secretary of state, Boise; D. I Evans, Malad; William M. Morgan chief Justice, Moscow; Joseph T. Pence, former state chairman, Boise; K. I. rerky, former United States sen ator, Boise; Mayor Whitaker, Foca- tello; T. A. Walters, former attorney general, Caldwell. Dougherty, Evans, Morgan, Pence, Perky and probably Alexander can be eliminated, although democrats are saying now that if it comes to a showdown they may pre sent such a determined argument to Alexander that he cannot afford to decline the nomination. Republican Get Warning. Any attempt made to pledge the delegates from Idaho to the rep'ihli can national convention at Chicago in such a way as to embarrass or jeopardize the interest of United States Senator William E. Borah will be frowned upon in this state, friends of the senior senator declare. Bart lett Sinclair, former state auditor, active in rspubllcan party affairs, sounded the feelings of the Borah people when he said: "Not a few republicans are hoping that Senator Borah- may yet enter the field as a candidate for president. Let us assume that he is persuaded to cast his hat into the ring. Indeed the New Tork and in fact all of the eastern papers and statesmen in variably class the Idaho man not only as a possible nominee for president but a very probable one In the event of Senator Borah's candidacy at the national convention, it would be embarrassing, to say the least, for his home delegation to be there with instructions to oppose him." The Sinclair statement has served i a warning to republicans In this " ' iate not to become entangled in propaganda campaigns. Hornets' Nmt Stirred Up. The Nonpartisan league seems to have stirred up another hornets' nest through an attack made by its offi cial organ, the Leader, against the organization known as the United Americans. The Leader contended that the United Americans is a secret organization, and special mention was made of some of the Idaho men iden tified with its work. One of these was E. H. Dewey, one of the leading bus! ness men of Nam pa and In fact of Idaho. Mr. Dewey was not slow to come back. "It Is unfortunate," he said, "that It is necessary to form any organiza rion to combat sedition, disloyalty and the stirring up of class antagonism. But It is necessary. So long as such papers as the Idaho Leader are per mitted to circulate, those who care for their country and Its institutions must take such steps as they can to combat this insidious foe to Ameri canism. This is the first that I had heard anything about the United Americans being a secret organiza tion and it is so only in the minds of those who see red when anything of true Americanism and good citizen ship is mentioned. The work of the organization is open and aboveboard. Obituary. LEBANON". Or, March 6. (Special.) George Taylor Cotton . died at his home in Lebanon March' 4. He was buried in the Masonic cemetery.
