DELEGATES BEING CHOSEN rii tie iMimiS HERN 0 Slate Chairman Appeals to Repub lican Organization to Give Square Deal to All Apirants. BOISK, Idaho. March 20. (Special.) Northern Idaho is not going to play an inconspicuous part in Idaho poli tics this year. The north has always considered that it has not had fair representation in either congress or the state government. It has but one member of the congressional delega tion. Representative Addison T. Smith, while both senators are from the south. In the state government it has done better. The offices of attorney-general, secretary of state and superintendent of public instruction went to the pan-handle. The north this year will ask for a Vnited States senator, a representa tive and governor. It will get a rep resentative, for Burton Ij. French is not likely to have opposition in the first district. Just how it will fare j for senator remains to be seen. Its I candidate for governor is M. A. Kiger. He is not a novice in political man euvering, as he quite conclusively proved while he was in the last legis lature, where against the opposition of the organization he was elected speaker of the house. Kiger's main opposition will come from those party leaders who believe that a strong campaign must be con ducted to show the electors the many advantages of commission state gov ernment over the old form of state government. It was adopted by the legislature at its last session and Governor Davis, who fathered the plan, and is a candidate for re-nomi nation, will champion it in his cam paign. Kiger was not friendly to the proposed change. Since he has come out for the gubernatorial nomination he has stated that he believed the commission plan has been a failure and has not accomplished what was claimed for it. But Kiger is not the only candidate in the north who is worrying backers of other favorites in the race. Cap tain A. H. Connor of Sandpoint, who it was announced some time ago would likely be a candidate for the repub lican nomination for United Statej senator, seems to be very much in the running. At least the arrival in i Idaho this week of a number of statements regarding his prospective randidacy indicates that he has es tablished a press bureau. Candidate Haa Service Record. These statements come from Wash ington, where Captain Connor has been located since the signing of the armistice, engaged in work for the legal end of the war department. Con nor expects to be discharged within a short time, when he will return to Idaho and actively push his candidacy. The announcements declare that he leaves Washington with the highest recommendations from his. superior officers and with a service record that shows he was in the thick of the fighting on the western front and was severely wounded by a bursting shell, which shattered his arm. There is now an ex-service officer in the race for the nomination in Colonel l. V. Patch of Payette. Patch expects to resign as adjutant-genera! of the state on- April 1. after which he will devote his time exclusively to his candidacy. He comes from the southwestern part of the state. There is no doubt but what the Patch sup porters iook witn apprehension upon the entrance of Captain Connor into the race. As the republican state convention is to be held at Coeur d'Alene April 28 to select delegates to the national convention, the, machinery of the county organizations is being put into operation. Many of the counties wil name their delegations through coun ty-wide primaries. Others will leave it to the county committees, or they may be named at county conveneitns The state committee recommended the several ways in which the delegates could be selected, and State Chairman Thomas has just issued a statement on the subject to the various repub . lican county chairmen. He says: t nlty In Party Important. unaer the provision empowering ine county central committee to pro vide for a convention to elect the delegates to the state convention, take it that the county central com muiee wouin not only Be acting in accordance with the spirit, but with the intent of the state central com mittoe. This year it is important, if we are to win a republican victory in November, that we have a united party, and it is the hope of the publican state organization, that the republicans, regardless of factions will be fully consulted in the matter f selection of delegates. "It is not our idea to tell you to do this, but rather to have you use your own judgment. I trust that you will see that neither snap judgment nor unfair means are used in the selec tion of delegates, and that all candi dates are given a square deal. The campaign Is now on and it would please me very much to see a meet ing of republicans called in each county where a full and free discus sion could be had relative to the se lection of delegates and the cam paign as wen. in mis way it seems to me any friction which might be engenaered could be avoided." The republican state committee is endeavoring to have all counties hold rallies similar to the one that took place at Weiser in Washington county ana wnicn was so successful. A steadfast determi nation to build the best possible has placed the i BUSH & LANE in a position pre-eminent in the world of music .

Democratic Ix-ader Says Position Is Sot Understood and That He Favors Dry Law Change. WASHINGTON', March 20. The Anti-Saloon league today declared war on Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the league, in a formal statement. said the senator's declaration in favor of an amendment to the pro hibition code, permitting light wines and beers "ought to defeat him not only as a candidate at the democratic convention, but for the leadership in the senate." "To champion a beer and wine amendment is nothing short of an at tack on law enforcement, said Mr. Wheeler. This beer and wine move ment is the entering wedge to de stroy prohibition." .Senator Hitchcock later issued a statement saying that the Anti-Saloon league apparently had not fully understood his position which he set forth as follows: "I stand for an enforcement of pro hibition laws. "I accept without reservation the constitutional decision of the people which abolishes the American saloon forever and with it strong intoxi cating liquors. "I believe, however, a lawful way will be found and ought to be found to permit the manufacture and harm less use of light wines and beers.
