HARDING TWO BAYS LATER
Non-Partisan Leaguers Keep Both
Old Parties Guessing Reports
of Indorsing Democrats Rife.
BOrSE. Idaho, Sept. 11. (Special.)
Ojvernor Cox of Ohio, democratic
presidential candidate, will be In
Hjise September la after addresses
at Weiser. Payette, Ontario, Nampa
and Caldwell. The democratic etate
committee is making elaborate prep
arations for his reception. One hun
dred young men and women who will
c.ust their first ballot this year are
t act as special escort on the even
toa ct as special escort on the eve
ning: of that date, when he will de
liver an open-air address at Cody
park. Democratic leaders from all
parts of the state, including candi
dates for congressional and state of
fices, will be present.
C-vtruor Cjs will be given a rous-
reception, which, politically, will
gnify nothing-. The people of Idaho
believe an man big enough to be a
andidate for president is entitled to
every courtesy, and republicans and
democrats alike will be found wel
'oming the governor of Ohio. After
leaving here he will go to Pocatello,
.aaking a series of rear platform
.pteches through the southern por
tion of the state.
Harding to Open Campaign.
Republicans expect to fire their
opening campaign gun September 1",
rffhen Governor Harding will be the
tui!n speaker. He is the first
Ape.ker to come to this state
aflir the auspices of the national
vnmittee. He will discuss the is-ja-i'S
of the campaign, with special
rwierence to remarks made here by
Governor Cox.
Both parties are active In estab
lishing and getting headquarters into
working order. State Chairman John
Thomas of the republican committee
has announced the appointment of
Colonel K. G. Davis, first vice-chair
man, to pe in charge of stale neaa
quarterw. while Thomas is on the
road. Davis was candidate for United
states senator at the Pocatello con
vention and contender for the nomination-
against Frank It. Gooding,
the successful candidate. State head
quarters have been established in the
Kmplre building. A speakers' bureau
will keep speakers on the stump from
now until November and tons of lit
erature will be mailed to the voters.
State Chairman J. P. Pope of the
democratic state committee has se
lected his executive committee, as
follows: Mi Alexander, former gov
ernor of the state; Frank Martin,
former attorney-general; J. T. Pence,
former state chairman;' James H.
Hawley. former governor,- and S. P.
Davis, a prominent business man of
Boise.
Non-Partiaana Also Active.
The Non-Partisan league Is also
active and keeps republicans and
democrats guessing. Reports have
been in circulation for some time that
H. F. Samuels, candidate for United
States senator, would retire, the in
timation being that the leaguers in
that event would throw their sup
port to Senator Nugent, the demo
cratic nominee. Samuels has made
no statement regarding this report.
According to one story, an agree
ment was made to withdraw him
prior to his nomination by the
leaguers, but Samuels was not con
sulted with regard to the matter,
end it wae riot his understanding
that, following his nomination by
the league, he was to withdraw. Bets
are posted here that he will with
draw. Similar reports are in circulation
that S. D. Fairchild, league candidate
for governor, will also withdraw to
allow the league to throw its sup
port to Walters, democrat. These re
ports are denied emphatically by
Fairchild in a lengthy statement.
Republicans Augur Victory.
Whether the league keeps its can
didates in the race is of much im
portance, because If they do they
force a three-cornered fight. A
study of the election figures of two
years ago is interesting.
A three-cornered fight promises
more for the republican ticket than
it does for the democratic. Demo
crats deny this, asserting the league
was recruited mainly from the re
publican party. Republicans counter
with the statement that Idaho is nor
mally republican, and can elect Its
candidates against the field.
Past Election Analyzed.
Approximately 96,000 votes were
cast in this- state two years ago.
Four years ago at the presidential
election 130,000 votes were cast. Two
years ago Governor Davis, republican,
received 67.626 votes to 38.499 for
H. F. Samuels, democratic candidate,
who was, in fact, the candidate of
the Non-Partisan league, which cap
tured the democratic primaries that
year. Samuels received the undivided
support of the leaguers and the di
vided support of the democrats. This
accounts for the larger vote given to
Davis. This year the democrats and
the league both have s candidate for
governor. Their strength, tneretore
Is divided.
It the division continues, neither a
democrat nor a non-partisan can be
elected against the solid republican
vote, declare experts who have given
the situation study. The league
claim to have at least 40,000 votes;
that is. 20,000 actual members and
two votes on an average to a fam
ily. Thev expect from S000 to 10.000
sympathetic votes, which they declare
will elect their candidates.

number received by the corresponding
period last year. More than 100 res

Secretary or State Kozer Powerless
to Grant Relier Under Exist
ing State Laws.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 11. (Special.)
That the so-called motor vehicle op
erators' license law enacted at Ihe
special session ot the legislature last
January has met with disfavor in
many sections of the state, insofar as
it bars persons under 16 years of age
from driving machines, is indicated in
a flood of letters received at the of
fices of the secretary of state.
Many of these letters are pathetic
in their construction, but under the
law the secretary of state has no dis
cretionary powers, and upon the police
officers is devolved the enforcement
of the act. Although it is yet several
months before the legislature con
venes in regular session, several let
ters received by the secretary of state
indicate that a concerted effort will
be made at that time to have the age
limit under the law fixed at 14 years.
"I have two miles to walk to school
every morning," said a letter received
from a 15-year-old boy residing near
Eugene. "Before July 1 I was able
to make the trip in my father's car,
but in the future I will have to walk.
Is there not some way in which you
may grant me a special license?" .
Another letter written to J. A.
Churchill, state superintendent of
schools, by a Douglas county youth
reads:
Boy Drives 11 Mllea to School.
"With regard to attending high
school I might say that I live 11
miles from the Glendale liigh school
and have no way to get there except
by car. I am an experienced driver
and operate my father's tractor. Can
you get me a permit from the secre
tary of state to drive to school?"
"I am writing you in regard to my
boy," reads a letter received from a
woman living at Seaside. "He is not
yet 16 years of age, but is an excellent
driver and we need his help very much.
We sold our home and put all of our
money into a little grocery store as
part payment. We are several thou
sand dollars in debt, and are not fi
nancially able to hire enough help.
Our boy takes the place of another
man and operates the delivery truck.
My husband is nearly 60 years of age,
and it is all we can do to make both
ends meet. It Is our hope that you
will be able to help us out by giving
our son a license to drive."
From Riddle a -widow writes: "I
am a widow and have two boys, the
youngest of whom is not yet 16 years
of age. He has operated a car for
four years and also drives my tractor.
Our farm is 10 miles from Riddle, and
I need my boy to drive when neces
sary. In order for him to attend
school he has to drive the car or stay
at home."
"I am Writing you with reference to
a driver's license for my son," said a
letter received from McMinnville. He
Is more than 15 years of age and has
driven an auto for three years. The
reason for asking for this license is
that I Buffered injuries by being
kicked by a horse last fall, with the
result that my eyesight was impaired.
The only way I can get around in my
car is with the assistance of my son."
t Pleas Ponr Into Secretary.
From C. C. Calkins, agricultural
agent for Sherman county, there has
been received the following letter:
"The new law requiring that all
operators of automobiles be above 16
years of age 1 believe, on the whole,
is a good one. but It works a hardship-
in certain instances here where
help Is so scarce. I refer to the case
of Hollls Bull, who is employed on
the George Meloy ranch. Hollls op
erates a tractor during the forenoons,
and if it is impossible for him to ob
tain a license it will be necessary for
him to give up the work. He is 14
years of age, weighs 127 pounds, and
has driven a car for two years"
Attached to this letter were the
names of several prominent Eastern
Oregon citizens subscribing to the
good character of young Bull.
"We live on a farm and have no
help," writes a man from Scio. "and
unless our daughter is given a license
to drive a car she will be unable to
attend school next winter. She has
had three years' experience driving a
car and has never had an accident."
From Clackamas has arrived the
following appeal:
"I am asking for a permit for my
boy, who is 15 years of age. Since
my husband was killed I am not able
to drive, and it Is absolutely neces
sary that my boy shall operate the
car if I am to continue to support my
five children. We use the machine
in peddling berries, which is our
chief source of income." -Pleaa
Are Pitiful.
Fred Proctor, cashier of the Clack
amas County bank at Sandy, has
written to the secretary of state in
behalf of L. E. Hoffman, as follows:
"I am writing in behalf of L. E.
Hoffman, who conducts a meat mar
ket at Sandy. In the conduct of his
business he was assisted by ,his son,
Edward Hoffman, who was called to
war and died while fighting in
France. Since that time one of his
younger sons, Reuben Hoffman, has
driven the delivery truck. This boy
is only 15 years of age, but has driven
a machine for more than two years.
This family conduct their shop alone,
their business not being extensive
enough to allow them to employ a
driver for their car. Is there not some
way in which this boy Reuben, may
be granted a license?"
"My husband was killed on July
20, said a letter from a widow at
Cottage Grove, "and I am compelled
to depend on a grandson for support.
We have a car which I am unable to
drive. He will be 15 years of age in
a week, but under the law cannot
drive the car for another year. What
will I have to do to get him a per
mit?" i From Edwin Hicks, son of a lawyer
at Canyon City, has arrived the fol
lowing letter: "The present motor
vehicle operators" license law leaves
me in a sad predicament. 1 live in a
vicinity where the country is sparsely
settled, and there is. never any con
gested traffic. I am 15 years of age
and am one .of a family of five. My
father and mother cannot drive. I
am attending school at Canyon City,
and consequently it is almost neces
sary that I be permitted to drive.
What am I to do to obtain a permit?"
"I have a son who is not quite 16
years of age," said a McMinnville
man in a letter to the secretary of
state. "He is operating an agency
for a Portland laundry, and is fur
nished a truck for his deliveries. It
Is imperative that he ehall receive
a license or quit business. Will you
kindly write me if there is any way
in which this permit can be ob
tained?" School Cannot Be Attended.
"I have driven a car back and
forth from school for several years,
and have never been arrested for
speeding," wrote a Hillsboro boy. "I
hope you won't think I am ''tooting
my own horn' when I tell you that I
can drive fairly well. I want a li
cense: wish to ask if it would be any
advantage if I obtained affidavits
from the chief of police, justice of
the peace and other officials attest
ing to my good character and ability
as a driver. I am not yet 16 years of
age."
, From Tillamook a disturbed father
wrote: "I have a boy 15 years of age,
and he drives my car. He hauls our
milk from the farm . to the cheese
factory each day, and during schooi
drives to and from the school build
ing. If he cannot obtain a license
I will have to employ additional help,
and he will be deprived of the oppor
tunity of attending school."

BIG CROP IS. EXPECTED
Lewiston to Ship Many Apples That
Are Hail Marked.
LEWISTON. Idaho. Sept. 11. (Spe
cial.) Prospects for a big- apple crop
in this region are growing; brighter
daily, and local growers for the most
part are holding off on contracting
their crops. However, a number of
Clarkston growers met last night to
organize a branch of the northwest
fruit errowers' exchanee. and 'will
market their crop through this
agency.
. About 450 acres of the best-producing
orchards are represented in
the organization. As a large number
of tracts in Lewiston orchards were
hit by a severe hail storm last month,
a considerable proportion of the crop
will haye to be branded as "hail
marked."
It is probable that bulk shipments
will be made in this case. The box
situation has been critical, but local
production has recently been in
creased, and prospects look better for
securing enough boxes locally to take
care of the crop.
