(SpecIaL) Speculation as to- the plan of cam - ;paigTi to be adopted by the non-parti-"san league in Idaho In an effort to re-cover strength lost In previous po litical activities, is attracting: the at tention of party leaders. The official f'orgran of the league, the Leader, has Nceased publication. The daily paper fwhich heretofore has been identified 'with that organization, published at ;.Tampa, has changed from a morning r'lo an evening paper. Many of the Measrue leader are silent. Most of them have left the state. Opinion among: leaders in both the republican and democratic parties is varied. Some leaders are confident fthat the leagrue is through in Idaho ilhat its organization has broken down 'and there are no funds, left to build it up; that it cannot expect to- rally ?uiDort from among the farmers heretofore its backers.

They take the view that the Jeafruers having played the democratic ; party as the best bet on which to win, : scored a disastrous failure and are now trying to capture the republican tparty. Republican party directors are .'confident they can prevent non-partl-'tan invasion because of the existence :f a law, half primary and half con -vention, which shuts the league out ff the state nominating convention 'and participation in the county pri ,'xnary election.
