THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 25, 1922 TlD IDAHO PARTIES PRIMING 1 FRAY Fight Over State Govern ment Control Ahead. ?: OUTCOME IS UNCERTAIN Democrats Try to Replace Repub licans, Charging Waste and Inefficiency. BOISE, Idaho, June 24. (Spe cial.) Idaho today represents an open field Into which numerous aspirants for political honors are making their entries, giving to tin campaign added interest and caus ing no little speculation over the possible outcome. v Out of the confusion in the rush on the part of the candidates to present their respective cases to the primary electors, there la this out standing fact: There Is going to be a real political fight in this state next November for control of the state government and its machinery. It is what party leaders refer to as an off political year and for that reason 'there is less oertainty as to the outcome. To the side assuming the offensive, because it is out of power and must attack to oust its opponents, there is the inspired hope that the people at large may be induced to place them, in control of 'the state. Republican Party Dictator. At the present time the republican party is absolute dictator of the state's management and stands squarely on its record, claiming a business administration, efficiency and economy. The democratic party seeks to replace the republicans, claiming extravagance, gross mis management anil inefficiency. This, then, is the setting for Idaho's political arena. Republicans are flocking into the open more rapidly than the democrats, which party leaders say is but natural because the state is normally re publican as are most of the counties. The material for the entire state ticket will bet known before the re publican state convention; judging from rapidity with which entrants are getting into the running. The democratic aspirants are not so bold. In fact there will not be a good line-up on- the democratic ticket probably until t'he state con vention is held August 22 at Hailey. The difficulty with the democrats will be in completing their ticket. They are of the minority party. State Auditor Is Candidate. E. H. Gallet, state auditor, re publican, formally announced his candidacy to succeed himself. He is.bhe only one of the state adminis tration holdovers seeking a third term, but because his duties are largely clerical it is believed by re publican leaders that he will not have serious opposition and likely will be renominated by the con vention. In his announcement Mr. Gallet said: "In announcing my intention to be a candidate for state auditor be fore the republican state convention next August, I am relying entirely upon the record of my office during the past Jhree years for efficiemcy and promptness in discharge of duties and the many improvements effected in the accounting methods employed in supervising the fiscal affairs of the state, Office Is Important. "While the office is purely admin istrative and not much in the lime light or on dress parade, having little to do with shaping state poli cies, yet it is one of the most im portant offices in the state. It is the state's clearing house, through which passes, in some form, the transactions involving the receipt and expenditures of all moneys re ceived by or paid out of the treas ury, and the Bystem of accounts in stalled during my incumbency in office insure an accurate and com plete accounting thereof. It is not the province Of tfoe state auditor to suggest passage of laws relative to matters affecting the welfare and interests of the people of the state, except possibly Inso far as requiring reports of official transactions regarding the amend ment or repeal of such laws as may be found incapable of enforcement or detrimental to the major por tion of the people, if any such laws there are. Mattter Up to Legislature. "These are matters entrusted to the law-making body chosen by the electors of the state the legisla ture and t'his body can usually be depended upon to enact into the statutes, laws that will carry Into effect the wishes of the. constituents. "If the conduct of my office has 1 been such as to commend me to the republicans of the state, and no just criticism of my official acts will lie, I solicit from them indorse ment of the manner of handling affairs and renomination for the of fice of state audiitor." Will H. Gibson In Race. Another announcement of general Interest to republicans is that of Will H. Gibson, of Mountain Hornet ex-secretary of state, as a candi date for lieutenant-governor to suc ceed C. C. Moore, who is an an nounced candidate for the nomina tion of governor. Mr. Gibson has been associated with the interests of the late James H. Brady, United States senator, for some time, man aging the irrigation project that the late senator actively financed dur ing ihis life. He was secretary of state when United States Senator Frank R. Good'ing was governor of Idaho. Leading Men Back Candidacy, Mr. Gibson's candidacy is backed by 40 of the leading business and stockmen of Elmore county, headed by John W. Caldwell, chairman of the Elmore county republican cen tral committee and former State Senator Worth S. Ltee. Mr. Gibson was chairman of the last republican state convention held at Coeur d1 Alene, when delegates were elected to the republican national conven tion. That he Is likely to have oppo sition is well known and it is ex pected that within a short time one if not several other prominent re publicans in various parts of the state will get Into the running. State Treasurer Unopposed. Dan F, Banks, state treasurer, who is finishing his first term in that office, is a candidate to suc ceed himself and according to re publican party leaders will prob ably not have opposition. State Treasurer Banks was formerly printer and for a number of years while working his way through the College of Idaho was a linotype operator with the Caldwell Tribune. Ho was engaged in that trade just prior to his nomination for treas ' urer and following his return from France where he saw service durin , the world war. At a rally held by the Ada County Demorcafic club in Boise this week, .number of prominent democrats from all parts of the state were pros- j ent and while no candidacies were j announcea, a numDer oi men were spoken of as offering excellent ma terial for positions. M. Alexander, who is looked upon as the party's candidate for governor, was present, caving returned a few days ago from the east He declared that the country is going democratic this fall and that Idaho will be found in the democratic column after the No vember election. Mr. French's Defeat Sought. It developed at the rally that George Waters of Weiser, now en gaged In the automobile business in that city, ex-sheriff of Washington county, is a possible candidate for the nomination of representative from the first district, and if he gets the nomination, which is prob able if he runs, he will oppose Rep resentative Burton L. French, who will no doubt be nominated by the republicans. The fight on Mr. French will b made on his intro duction of house bill No. 77 which it was charged permitted a few sheepmen in this state to gain con trol of 270,000 acres of land, but which the president vetoed when so strong a protest was heard from Idaho over the measure. The demo crats are open in their declaration they expect to defeat Mr. French on this issue alone. CITIZEN ERS HUE DESTROYS SAWMILL DAUGHERTY PLANT, OTRTIJJ, HAS $30,000 IiOSS. Flames Probably of Incendiary Origin Consume 200,000 Feet of Lumber. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., June 24. (Special.) Fire, with a total lose of $20,000, yesterday morning de stroyed the W. H. Daugherty. Lum ber company's mill at Curtin, 11 miles south of here. The fire, which is supposed to have been of incen diary origin, broke out ' about 4 o'clock. Two hundred thousand feet of lumber, all of which was con tracted for, and one-half of which was cedar, also was burned. All possible precautions against fire had been taken, according to officials of she. mill. W. D. Stroud, foreman of the mill, said that he heard an automobile leave the miill yard but thought it was Mr. Daugh erty leaving early on a business trip. A few moments later he was aroused by employes at the cook house, who discovered the flames when they arose to prepare breakfast. A 400-foot dock and about 30 cars of lumber were saved by cutting a roadway to prevent the flames from spreading. The planer and another dock, which are some distance from the big mill, were undamaged. A small amount of insurance was car ried on the mill property, only about 20 per cent of the loss being cov ered. The Daugherty mill made a record for itself last year by being the only mill between Portland and Klamath Falls to run during the entire year without a stop, either from lack of work or from labor trouble. Opera tions had been uninterrupted this year. SOLDI ERIJOYRECREATIDiy Field Meets, Games, Boxing, Enliven Training. NEW AND RETIRING CHAIRMEN OF REPUBLICAN STATE I COMMITTEE.

Settlers Busy on White Bluffs Hanford Tracts to Get Flow of Water. OLYMPIA, Wash., June 24. (Spe cial.) Much activity is shown on the lands of the White Bluffs-Han-ford soldiers' settlement project, ac cording to Dan A. Scott, director of conservation and development, who returned today from that section. S. S. Schuler of Ritzville, who has the contract for 15 sets of buildings on that number of tracts, is assem bling materials and crews and ex pects to begin pouring concrete early next week. The department has decided, Mr. Scott said, to com plete the buildings on the tracts be fore any further drawings foT land are held. ' Thirty-five wells have been tesfed and proved satisfactory, giving a flow of 300 gallons of water a min ute. Ten other wells are down, but have not yet been proved, leaving ten wells yet to be dug. Fifteen of the settlers are at work on their tracts, most of them level ing of the land to get the proper flow of water. Several have put in small crops and one settler, who has not yet completed his buildings, will have five acres of melons and five acres of hay to harvest. The frosts in May, which did considerable dam age in. some parts of eastern Wash ington, did not touch the White Bluiffs district, Mr. Scott said. The Grain crop of Eastern Wash ington generally looks to be in good condition, he said, but shows the need of rain. TACOMA, Wash., June 24. (Sper ciaL) Life at a. national guard en campment Is not the continual grind suspected by the outsider. There is work, lots of it, in tne intensive training schedule outlined for the Oregon citizen soldiers this year, but the plans of the commanding of ficers allow for recreation as well. For instance, yesterday afternoon and this morning were given over to a field meet in which the best run ners, Jumpers, hurdlers, vaulters and shot-putters in the various com panies of the guard were in keen competition for a camp trophy. Vir tually every organization had an entry in some event and there was considerable rivalry. There were wheelbarrow, three-legged and other freak races to interest those N not athletically inclined. Pugilists to Vie. . Next Monday night a smoker will be held in Camp Lewis, in which the best pugilistic talent of the Ore. gon guard will be matched against the flower of the regular army regi ments stationed here. At Fort Worden, Wash., where the Oregon coast artillery is in training,, next Wednesday will be a red-letter day from the sporting viewpoint. A track meet will be held in the afternoon and in the evening the pick of the 300 guards men will challenge the best boxers and wrestlers among the regulars manning Fort Worden, Fort Case, Fort Flagler and the mine planter Ringold. It is interesting to note that the coast defense guardsmen have in their ranks the entire Ashland high school basketball team which won the state championship this year; the complete basketball team from Marshfield high school and all but one man of the Albany college bas ketball lineup. There is little doubt but that the guardsmen will clean up on anything the forts can Dro duce in the basketball line. Captain Hansen In Charge. Captain Harry Hansen of Port land is in charge of the Athletic ar rangements at Camp Lewis, being athletic officer of the guard for Multnomah county. Incidentally, ill the fighters come from company E his organization, so that it really is company E against Camp Lewis, though the entire guard will take pride in the showing. Those matched for the Monday night battles in the Butte building are (Oregon fighters named first),: Mike de Pinto against Mike Bal lerino, 126 pounds; Battling Ortego against Perry Winn, 160 pounds; Johnny Trambitas against Bernard Barde, 135 pounds; Eddie Richards against Bill Shields, 158 pounds; Sammy Gordon against Mario Guida, 125 pounds; Jimmy Valentine against Kid Davis, 122 pounds, and Young Smith against Bud Risky, 130 pounds. Boxing Events Scheduled. Lieutenant George C. Hugglns of Marshfield is in charge of the Fort Worden boxing matches and an nounces the following events for next Wednesday night: Sergent, Ashland, against Deven izer, 145 Bounds; Wheeler, Albany, against Carter, 123 pounds; Ter hune, Albany, against Cyani, 118 pounds; Thompson, Toledo, against Carlson, 160 pounds; Blair, Ashland, against McDaniel, 130 pounds; Hall, Ashland, against Jarrett, 158 pounds. Wrestling will be between Cham bers, Toledo, and Hendricks, 145 pounds, and Sanders, Toledo, and Cycoski, 160 pounds. There will be 16 events in the Fort Worden track meet, including a push-ball contest, baseball throw and tug-o'-war. The regulars sought to inveigle the guardsmen into a tent-pitching contest, but the latter knew they were hopelessly outclassed in this respect and politely declined. Today leaves of absence from camp were given about 75 per cent of the command and the men visited Tacoma and Seattle. They are not required to return to camp until taps Sunday night. This is the sec ond week-end enjoyed by many of the guardsmen, helping to make the training period seem like a vacation. ' : z HSya$g . , : SCHOOL HEADS ORGANIZE E. H. HEDRICK ELECTED PRESIDENT OF CLTTB. At Left Thomas H. Tonjrae Jr., who declined to seek reflection, and Walter L. Tooze Jr. of McMinnvllle successful candlda'te. county central committees of this state have resolved against the abuses of th primary law In order that party organizations and princi ples be preserved and the primary law be Improved to conform more nearly to the American ideals of rep resentative government; and, Whereas, Any improvements or amendments to the primary law should require and receive careful study, exhaustive research, investi gation and deliberation and no hasty legislation should be considered or recommended, therefore, be it Resolved, That the executive com mittee be and hereby is instructed to investigate the abuses of the said primary law, election and registra tion laws of the state and make a detailed report u a further meeting of this committee, with any recom mendations, improvements or amend ments suggested to eliminate said abuses and improve and strengthen said primary law, to preserve rep resentative government and recog nize party organization. Loyalty Resolution Adopted. The general resolution on party loyalty follows: Be it resolved by the republican state central committee in regular meeting assembled that it is with appropriate and becoming pride we review the accomplishments and economies effected1 by. President Harding and the national republican administration. By their firm, fear less and consistent course the presi dent and the members of his cabi net have- redeemed this counta-y from a threatened era of radicalism and are rapidly restoring normal conditions. Confidence of the elec torate in our present form of gov ernment has been revived-. A more healty and stable condition in busi ness and industrial circles is unmis takably evidenced, in striking con trast to a universal depression which came as the natural sequel to eight years of produgal and un bridled wasteful democratic extrav agance, inefficiency and incompe tency in governmental affairs. Outstandine in the accomplish ments of the present national re publican administration was the peace (arms) conference assembled by President Harding and partici pated in by the leading great na tion of the world. To the adminis tration must be conceded credit for assuming the initiative in this world movement for disarmament and a cessation of war between civ ilized nations, etc. Budget System Praised. " By the establishment of a budget system and the installation of busi ness methods the present adminis tration has not only placed the busi ness of the country on a sound, prac tical basis of economy and efficiency but has saved more than $1,000, 000,00 of the people's money and has effected a reduction of more than 65,000 government employes in thj JtiHt 1R mntho. PledflTftd, to in stall business methods in govern-1 ment affairs, the administration has made good. Economy in the han dling of government funds after the lavish exDenditures of previous years, which reached the highwater i mark of $27,00-0, 000,000 in 1921, made the application or Dusiness metnons a necessity. Due to the cessation of war and the economy of a repub lican congress, expenditures were reduced to $6,500,000,000 in 1920. By oresent business methods ooerating appropriations were further reduced to ,y-iu,Hu,u-uo in lazi, wnue ior the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, these expenditures have . been re duced to 13.909,000,000. We reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of the republican party as enunciated in the plattorm aaopt ed at the Chicago convention in 1920. We congratulate President Harding on the accomplishments of his ad-ministration and renew our pledge of fealty to him in his in trepid efforts and courageous con victions further to serve the best interests of the people and perpetu ate a safe, sane and conservative form of government, absolved from demagogy and constructed upon a substantial and enduring founda tion. Furthermore, we commit our selves unqualifiedly to the support of the republican ticket from top to bottom, nominated in the recent primary election, recognizing that party identity and party organiza tion only can survive and be main tained when its affiliated members lend their undivided support to their party nominees. Aside from the jarring note inter jected by Bailey of Multnomah, the meeting was harmonious through out. In the morning session C. E. Ingalls, editor of the Gazette-Times, was called on for a talk, and elec trified the gathering by his attack on the direct primary and the rais ing of the religious question in Ore gon politics. He declared that the insignia of the republican party is not the cross and rosary, or a white sheet and mask, but that the em blem is the G. O. P. elephant. He in sisted that it is the duty of all good republicans to go down the line for the republican ticket. W. D. Dennis of Carlton, not a member of the committee, was called on and sup plemented the remarks of Ingalls. Others who made short talks were Mrs. Annie Watson and Mrs. H. E. Richards. Before the adjournment of the meeting eulogies were paid to Thomas H. Tongue Jr., the retiring chairman, who has served four years in that capacity. Society to Use Coveralls. BEND, Or., June 24.
