RICE'.'! CANI>II>ACY.
The Caldwell Tribune, while ac
knowledging that Hon. J. C. Rice is
in every way fitted for the office of
Governor, at once jumps to the con
clusion that he will not be permitted
to try for the democratic nomination
at the primary election because the
democratic state organization has not
gone wild over his announcement.
Why, bless your heart, John, Mr.
Rice or any other citizen of the State
of Idaho has a perfect right to try
for the nomination for Governor.
That is the beauty of the direct pri
mary law, and the bosses, be they
democratic or republican, have verj
little to say about the matter. It's
up to the voters. The Caldwell
News, as the democratic organ of the
state, is pursuing the right policy In
showing no favoritism for any par
ticular democratic candidate in the
primary election, ar long as the as
pirants are men of ability and honor.
and are qualified for the office to
which they aspire.
No wonder the editor of the Trib
une has been opposing the direct pri.
mary movement, for the following
editorial from the Tribune of Juu
10th, shows very plainly that the
ltor of that paper does not compre
hend the meaning nf tho taw
hend the meaning of the law and
knows nothing whatever about it,
but jumos at conclusions, and imag
ines nothing good can come of any
movement unless it has his sanction.
He shows about as much knowledge
of the direct primary law as many
of the "Me too" writers do on the
principles ol' socialism; a subject
that they have given no investigation
and about which they know nothing
whatever, and attempt to ridicule
We know that it is against tho
principles of the bosses of the repub
lican party to allow the voters to
designate their choice for candidates
for the various offices and that thev
do everything in their power to influ
ence the people to accept the candi
date that the "ring" favors; but we
hope that the democratic state or
ganization and the democratic state
organ will adopt a different policy
and allow a free and unbiased choice
to bo made of the candidates who
present themselves as aspirants for
the various offices at the coming
election, and thus give the direct
primary law a fair test.—Owyhee
Nugget.
Such innocence is refreshing. We
enjoy tho outbursts of a callow soul.
It is not often ours to enjoy such
simplicity. We must make the most
of it. In innocent humility, the
Nugget no doubt, acknowledges that
It is the only newspaper in Idaho
that thoroughly understands Social
ism and the direct primary. At any
rate it is the on'y newspaper in the
State that has adopted the one and
endorsed the other. Opaque intel
lects have caused tho newspapers of|
tho State to look upon Socialism with
contempt and tho direct primary
with suspicion. It is too bad that
wo are not all possessed of the
comprehension of the Nugget. It
has a wonderful capacity for gam
mon, and some friend ha? a wonder

which ho is religiously feeding our
Owyhee contemporary
The Tribune may not comprehend I
the meaning of the direct primary I
law. if we do not we are not alone
Ther- aro several thousand persons!
in Idaho who wero deceived in this
precious reform. However, we dis
covered earlier than some, others, the
true intent and purpose of the meas
ure with the result that there are
now severl hundred who quito under
stand the way of the direct primary.
We do know enough about the law ,
to know that under its provisions any
c tizen may become a candidate for
the nomination for any political of
fice. Tho Nugget did not furnish
that information. Wo were quite
awaro of tho fact all the time,

who has the newspapers has an

advantage. The Democrat.
is organization realizes this and has
taken steps to control the newspa
pers, in Canyon County b, „oiablish

control. The utterances of this or

tee. If the committee disapproves
tho organ will certainly reflect that
disapproval. That is what it did
with Mr. Rico.
get thoroughly understands the di
rect primary and this fact is all it
disclosed. Readers of The Tribune
can now set up as authorities as they
know as much about the law as does
tho Nugget. We wonder if its dis
coveries in its investigation of Social
ism arc nearly as profound. We
imagine thpy are of about the same
depth.
The Tribune in itr editorial to
which reference is made said:
"The announcement of Hon. John
C. Ricc'r candidacy for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor made
in the Caldwell News of recent date
seems to arouse little enthusiasm
with tho Democratic State organiza
tion. At any rate the official organ
lias not. seen fit to say even a kind
word for Mr. Rice and he a stock
holder, too. In fact, the Democratic
organization was. surprised at Mr
Rice's announcement and has not re
covered to this day. The candidate
whom th organization has selected
is Mr. M. Alexander of Boise. Mr,
Rice will be called off at the proper
time ii the organization can do it
Consequently it would not do to say
too much about Mr. Rice because the
people might insist that he be nomi
nated."
If you carefully read the Nugget
you will find that it has not attempt
ed to answer or deny any of the
statements made by the Tribune
We stated that Mr. Rice's announce
ment aroused little enthusiasm with
tho Democratic state organization
That statement is an absolute fact.
The organization has an official or
gan. The purpose of an official or
gan is to state the views and express
the enthusiasm of the organization
Has the official organ expressed s
favorable view or any enthusiasm
over Mr. Rice's announcement? If
it has the fact has escaped the atten
tion of all readers of the organ
Even the Nugget, when not promul
gating its Socialism, poses as a Dem
ocratic newspaper, is not aroused to
enthusiasm. We stated also that
Mr. M. Alexander was the candidate
of the organization. The Nugget
has not seen fit to deny that state
ment. It is content with the insipid
platitude that "Mr. Rice has a per
fect right to try for the nomination
for governor." With equal brilliancy
it might also have stated that two
and two are four. The Tribune said
that the organization was opposed to
him or at any rate was not enthusias
tically favorable and cited the fact
that the official organ was indiffer
ent to his claims.
It is generally known that under
the direct primary system publicity
THE ELOQUENT CLAGGETT.
The following taken from Good
win's Weekly, of Salt Lake, should
prove interesting to the many friends
of the late W. H. Claggett. The ar.
tide on "Early Literature of Ne.
vada," Is written by Judge C. C
win. Among other brilliant and ac
complished men mention was made
of Mr. Claggett as follows:
"Another wonderful genius of
those days was William H. Clagett.
Ho lived out in Humbolt. He was
lawyer, but was an impractical busi
ness man, but unless we except Tom
Fitch, he was tho finest speaker that
ever made his home in Nevada. He
was not a voluminous writer, but
when an oration was needed to stir
the depths of men's souls to the very
bottom, no one could do it better.
Ho drifted away at last to Montana
and was sent to Congress from that
state. He always lived more or less
in dreamland. At one time he got
ri ch in fivo minutes. He explained to
a friend that on the east shore of
\ irginia there was plenty of worn-out
land and all that was needed to re
store it to its pristine fertility was a
deep coating of the alkali from the
desert of Nevada. He figured up that
land could bo bought down there for
$2 to $3 per acre, that a coating six
inches deep of alkali would at once
make the soil worth perhaps $40 an
acre ' He dreanie <l of a profit of $37
an acre on no end of ,acd . until one
(la> a friend said to him, "How much
wU1 six ini * es dee P o( alkali on an
acre of land wp 'gh?" He figured it
hhn "m
out in a moment, told how many
tons, then the friend pulled the old
Central Pacific schedulo on him,
showing its rates on freight, and he
discovered suddenly that to take that
land at $3 an acre and make it very
valuable, worth $40, it would cost
ast $S0 an acre for the fer
tilizer, and he gave up the scheme.
He had the same idea about an apple
orchard in Oregon. A hundred trees
to the acre and a hundred acres
would mako 10,000 trees. Each one
tW ° bU8he1 » o' apples
That would
after tho seventh year.
be 20,000 bushels of apples and they
in New York would be worth $2 a
bushel and would make $40,000 a
year clear profits. Again he forgot
about the freights and when he fig
ured them up he decided Oregon was
too damp a country. But when It
came to talking on great themes pre
sented in tho most perfect English
and with an eloquence that would
have made Cicero envious, there was
no superior to W. H. Claggett. He
would havo been selected as Senator
from Idaho where he finally lived and
died, except that with the stubborn
ness of his nature, after the legisla
ture was elected and it wanted to
elect him in turn, he insisted
handling the campaign himself, and
it came out exactly as did his fertil
lzer and his Oregon apples. But he
was a genius and one of the most
lovable of men.
