Slate Chairman Appeals to Repub

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

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

HOT TAR BURNS WORKMAN
Employe at Dalles Plant May Lose
Some Skin.
THE DALLES. Or., March 20.
(Special.) When a kettle of hot tar
bubbled over at the United Construe
tion company's "hot plant" in the east
end of the city this morning, Riley
Thompson, an employe, was severely
burned when the tar, at 250 degrees
Fahrenheit, covered his face, neck
and right arm. He was taken to the
hospital here.
Some of the hot tar had penetrated
Thompson's skin so far that the skin
may have to be removed. The in
jured man thinks the water in the
feed pipes caused the popping of the
tar.
