PARTY STAND IS IGNORED
National Legislator Declares 80
Per Cent of Idaho People Op
pose Convention System.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 7. (Special.)
Eighty per cent of the voters in the
state of Idaho want a direct primary
law in place of the convention sys
tem, in the opinion of United States
Senator Borah, who. ever eince he
has been in public life, has advo
cated this system. Mr. Borah will
take the stump during1 the campaign
in Idaho this fall &nd urge the peo
ple to elect a legislature that will
pass a primary bill
Since his return from Washington
Senator Borah has been In confer
ence with primary advocates in his
party and K is known that an agree
ment has been reached to conduct a
vigorous campaign for the election
of candidates to the next legislature
who are pledged to the passage of a
primary measure and will work for
e bill that will restore the right to
direct participation in the nomina
tion of party candidates for con
gressional, state, county and legis
lative offices. Assurances of sup
port for his programme have been
received from every county in the
etate by Senator Borah.
Attitude of Senator Borah.
Speaking of the primary and his
attitude, Senator Borah, said:
T have advocated the primary prin
ciple in the election of our public offi
cers for the last 30 years and will advo
cate it for the next 30 years, if I live
long enough. I feel that it is not only
my privilege but my duty to Btate to the
people wliy I think the state-wide pri
mary is a policy of good government.
It is a matter about which there Is a
general division of opinion within the
party, and a subject about which men
differ, and I am going to discuss it dur
ing the campaign fn this etate without
personal feeling or bitterness with those
"who hold a different view than I do. I
haM discuss the primary before the
people with candor and as I see it.
I know that a great many men who
have be&n nominated for the legi&lature
in this state are for the dirct primary,
ily opinion is that 80 per cent of the
voters of the state of Idaho are for the
direct primary. It is a sound principle
of government arwi in my opinion It
should bo applied in this state.
Another subject that I am going to
discui-a is the question of taxation an-d
economics in the state-and national gov
ernment. These are subjects in which I
feel the keenest interest and I think
perhaps are uppermost in the minds of
the people.
MR. AND W. M. HEJiDERSHOTT.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of their wedding. Mr. and Mrs. W. M.
Hendershott of 621 East Seventeenth street Aorth were given a large
reception by friends Friday night. They were also entertained at a dinner
in their honor by the Lincoln-Garfield post. Grand Army of the Republic,
and by the Women's Relief corps.
Mr. and Mrs. Hendershott were married in walla Walla October t, isi-s.
by Rev. H. K. Hines, late of Portland. Mr. Hendershott served in the
159th Ohio infantry during the civil war.
The couple have six children Dr. t. JVL, Eiwood J-. Anno u. ana
Lora M. Hendershott, and Mrs. Ion Robert Haylor all of this city.
Stand of Senator Bold. :
Naturally the position that has
been taken by Senator Borah will
cause comment, both favorable and
unfavorable. His stand is almost
directly in opposition to the plank in
the platform of the republican par
ty, nailed therein at the Wallace
state convention held in August.
That plank ets forth that the re
publican party in Idaho believes in
the principle of the convention for
the nominating of national and
state officers, and in the principle
of the primary applied only to the
nomination of legislative and coun
ty candidates.
. Senator Borah has not said so di
rectly, but he has let it be known
that tie does not consider he Is
bound by a plank in the platform
that fails to advocate a principle
like that of the primary. And his
stand is not different from many
other republicans in .this state who1
are at cross-purposes with the plank
in the platform which they say does
not by any means represent the
majority sentiment within the party.
They "say that Senator Borah is do
ing a service for the party and that
due course of time the more
prominent candidates for office will
have to get into line on the primary
issue if they expect to be elected.
Mr. Moore Makes Concessions.
C. C. Moore, republican candidate
for governor, haa already made con,.
cessions, having declarer in nis
Meridian address th-at if a r&pul)
lican legislature passes a direct prl
mary law he will sign it, but he
will not sign a mugwump bill. The
Interpretation of this statement is
that should the next legislature be
composed of republicans, a majority
of whom succeed in passing a direct
primary bill, he will sign it, but if
the bill is a product of a combina
tion of democrats and republicans
he will net sign it. Just what effect
the concession of Mr. Moore will
have on the convention advocates in
the party has not as yet been dis
closed. They are just as .bitterly
opposed to a primary law as they
are ardently in favor of a conven
tion law. They claim that so far as
the republican party is concerned
the matter of the convention and
the primary was thoroughly
threshed out at Wallace, during the
state convention; that the conven
tion advocates won and the primary
advocates lost, and the latter should
bow to the will of the majority of
the delegates who were elected to
represent the republicans of this
state. They are not In accord" with
the stand that has been taken by
Senator Borah, and are outspoken in
their criticism. They claim there is
no occasion for raising the primary
issue since it was settled in the
convention and that republicans
should accept the platform their
party -has made and stand or fall
with it. Platforms, they assert.
were . made to - ride upon, not to
overturn.
Democrats Raisins Issue.
In the meantime the democrats
are busily engaged raising the pri
mary issue in all parts of the state
and attacking the republican candi
dates because they are pledged
against the primary by their party.
Invading Moore's own section of
the state, the democrats are bom
barding th republican candidate for
governor with the charge that he
stands against -the primary. Speak
ing at St. Anthony .this week Lester
S. Harrison, democratic " candidate
for attorney-general, said:
Mr. Moor is on record against a state
wide primary law. The republican plat
form puts the republican party of the
Mate on record against the direct pri
mary system. Mr. Moore has promised
the republican machine that he will
veto a direct primary law for the state
if it passes the legislature. If Mr. Moore
should not redeem his promises to those
who nominated him, it is reasonable to
believe that he will violate any promise
he makes the voters in this campaign.
M . A iexa. nd er , d e moc ratio candi
date for governor, has been just as
pronounce in his attack on Mr.
Moore, s 1 1 in g f o rt h that he is
pledged a&ain&t the primary by his
platform and alleging that if the
legislature should pass a primary
bill and Mr. Moore is governor, the
latter will not eign the measure
because he cannot consistently do
so when the convention went on
record for the convention system.
Land Grab Bill Injected.
The campaign is expected to liven
up with the return of the members
of the Idaho congressional delega
tion to the state. Addison T. Smith,
representative, has given out a
statement in answer to the attacks
made upon' him for his support of
house bill No. 77, the alleged and
so-called "land grab measure,"
denying that there was any inten
tion to pass a law that would be in
jurious to the interests of tiiis state.
The democrats are opening up their
guns on No. 77 and declare they will
put the members of the Idaho dele
gation on the stump bef ore the
campaign is much longer, explain
ing to the people why they voted for
it.
Quarantine Relief Expected.
BAKER, Or.. Oct. 7. (Special.)
Word was received here today from
Charles Parks, chairman of the
state board of horticulture, that hay
land in Baker county free from the j
alfalfa weevil, as determined by an
investigator from the board, would
ba released from shipping quaran
tine soon. It is believed that the
ban will be lifted on Baker valley
and the district around Haines,
where continued quarantine would
cause probably $$0,000 loss to the
farmers.
