Idaho as second class matter
Patch and Gooding are both cer
tain of the Republican senatorial
nomination. It is a safe prediction
that at least one of them will be dis
appointed.
There are certain paper candidates
of the "Farmer-Labor" league who
won't weigh much when they are
placed in the trading scalcs at Idaho
Falls this month at the Democratic
convention. But be assured that they
will be traded to the very best possible
advantage under the able guidance of
Ray McKaig. So will the votes they
represent.
We wonder if there are any Nonpar
tisan farmers in this county who sin
cerely believe that H. F. Samuels is
to make the race for the United States
senate on the Farmer-Labor ticket.
Unless <fie Democrats absolutely re
fuse to be a party to a Nonpartisan
Democratic combination and totally
ignore Ray McKaig's bluff, Samuels
has just about a smuch chance of run
ning for the senate in Idaho as has
Eugene V. Debs. And we question
whether Democratic scruples are so
idealistic that they will refuse gen
erous votes" controlled in Idaho by
the league machine.
PALLING DOWN.
Canyon county Republicans
county convention permitted the
wish of a resolutions committee to
'dictate the will bf the entire body
Tuesday afternoon when a majority
of a committee of five decided that
■ the delegates to Pocatello should not
go instructed for Governor D. W.
Davis. The night before, a caucus of
members of the convention showed
an overwhelming majority in sym>
pathy with this clause embodied
the resolutions. And it can truth
fully be said that the Canyon county
delegation can be expected to sup
port the governor in his race for
nomination for re-election at Poca
tello.
But after a caucus had adopted an
instructional clause and strong reso
lutions were embodied in those
adopted approving the record of the
state administration, it occurs to us
that the wish of a committee of five
might have been given less authority
for ultimate disposal. Strong resolu
tions endorsing the state administra
tion such as were adopted and fail
ure to instruct for D. W. Davis, who
is responsible for the Republican
record in Idaho for the two years
now nearly gone, are absolutely im
compatible. Refusal to adopt the
resolution presented admits a weak
ness Governor Davis does not de
serve that rebuke.

LET IT ROLL1
A splendid example of machine poli
tics such as the new Idaho election
law invites was witnessed in Ada
county Tuesday at the Republican
county convention where a combina
tion of Patch-Davis forces employed
steam roller tactics to put through a
100 per cent Patch-Davis, program.
It was a wonderful demonstration.
And yet the example set in Ada
county is » good one. Tuesday's po
litical upheaval had been carfeully pre
pared. Anyone at all familiary with
conditions and the progress of the
various campaigns there could have
anticipated exactly what took place.
Ada county polled the only represen
tative vote at the primary election cast
in Idaho and, so fas as was possible,
the voters of Ada county determined
at the primary the course to be fol
lowed by the elected delegates to the
county convention. If the present
faulty election law is to remain on
the statute books, some such contest
must be incorporated in the primaries
to sufficiently interest voters in their
obligations at the polls.
In Ada county an old machine was
supplanted by a new one. Lacking in

sauvity, the Patch steam roller carried
on an obvious, above-the-board fight.
And it irritated the men who by gen
tier and less obvious means had dom
inated Ada county Republican poli
tics in the past
But the fight had first been sub'
mitted to the voters, where it could
be appraised, weighed and a decision
made.
If the new law is to give any choicc
in the matter of nominations to the
*>ter, it must be by the process in
voked in Ada county. Shilly-shally,
dilly-rally, trade and bargain, com
promise and oil, employed in the name
of harmony, in exactly the way that
these time worn apparitions of politic«
were employed in Canyon conuty,
satisfies no one. In Ada county at
least the majority is pleased and this
government is a government by ma
jority. Make a fight and let the vie
tors take the spoils.
GOODING—AND OTHERS.
Frank Gooding and L. V. Patch
both contend that thej^ are to be the
Republican candidate for United
States senator this fall, basing their
assertions on the results of Tues
day's county conventions held over
the state. Of course, they are en
titled to their opinions and are priv
ileged to use any sort of mathmatics
they use to arrive at such conclu
sions.
To the ordinary onlooker, however,
it seems that Frank Gooding is go
ing to Pocatello with only a few votes
short of the required number to in
sure his nomination. But if he is
not nominated on the first ballot it
safe prediction that he never
will be.
Senator Borah is in Idaho for a
definite political purpose. He is here
to select a man who is reasonably
certain to win the place now filled
by John Nugent. And he i$ not a
supporter of Frank Gooding. What
ever criticism many Republicans may
have of Senator Borah, all will con
cede that his' is the power behind
Republican political machinery in
Idaho. If Gooding lacks votes to
insure his nomination ton the first
ballot and if Borah can control the
situation at Pocatello, Frank Good
ing will not be the Republican can
didate for United States senator this
fall.
The situation in the senate, with
a narrow and threatened Republi
can majority, makes necessary every
possible precaution to insure sending
Republican senator to Washington
from Idaho, if that is at all possible.
Frank Gooding is a strong man in
Idahq politic» »nd he might carry
the state this fall. But that "might"
is sufficient to''prevent his nomina
tion. *
Who, then, will be the candidate?
Probably Senator Borah does not
know. It is not likely, however, that
it will be any of the men who an
nounced their candidacy.
SUFFRAGE AND ELECTION.
Several million American women
will cast their first ballot this fall
as a result of the ratification of the
woman suffrage amendment by the
Tennessee house of representatives
Wednesday. Participation of women
in the business of governing the na
tion will be watched with interest
and the newly enfranchised vote may
have considerable weight in determin
ing winning candidates this fall.
Tennessee's ratification came only
after a bitter fight. In spite of the
influence brought to bear by both
President Woodrow Wilson and
Governor Cox, a fully alert and well
organized machine and the obvious
political advantage to the Democratic
party if Tennessee, always a Demo
cratic state, should be the thirty
sixth state to ratify) the resolution
passed by only two votes.
But this result is typical of Demo
cratic indifference and even opposi
tion to woman suffrage. It seems
quite paradoxical to the western mind
that states where women are regard
ed as they are in the south should
be reluctant to give them the ballot.
But the typical southern attitude
was clearly shown through the ac
tion of the North Carolina legisla
ture in not only adversely disposing
of a resolution ratifying the proposed
constitutional change but actually
employing every pressure upon the
Tennessee legislators to induce them
to pursue a similar course.
Now that suffrage is an accomplish
ed fact, politicians will burn no
small amount of midnight oil endeav
oring to analyse the probable course
that the newly enfranched voters will
pursue this fail Wilson, it is said,
was elected in 1916 on the "he kept
us out of war" slogan by the women
of California. This campaign thus
far has developed no such issue
which makes an appeal to sentiment
rather than cold blooded judgment
unies* that idealistic conception, the
league of nations, may be thus classed.
In spite of the fact that enforce
ment of the tenants of the league
means apparently uninterrupted par
ticipation in some brawl that may at
any moment assume war magnitude, it
is safe to predict that 'the women of
America will support that party and
those candidates who advocate a
league of nations.
THE "FARMER-LABOR" TICKET
Nonpartisans, who have assumed
the role of Idaho's "Independent"
party, have made frantic and more or
less futile appeals to organized labor
in Idaho to become affiliated in the
socialistic schemes of Nonpartisan
state government proposals. As The
Tribune has repeatedly pointed out,
the economic interests of formers and
laboring men are so divergent that
it is impossible to perfect an endur
ing organization for _ political pur
poses concerning them. Just as well
fancy William J. Bryan entering
whole heartediy into an advocacy of
the repeal of the Volstead amendment
But the league has made » start.
A state ticket embracing these two
gronps has been placed in the field.
This is the way the ticket looks:
United States kenator— H. F.
Samuels of Samuels, Idaho,
farmer.
Congress, north district—Riley
Rice, Cottonwood, farmer.
Congress, south district—W. P.
Whitaker, Pocatello, locomotive
engineer.
Governor—Sherman D. Fair

Lieutenant governor — O. G.
Zuck, Kimberly, farmer.
Attorney general — Rosi W.
Bates, Pocatello, attorney.
State treasurer — Hubert D.
Peckham, Wilder, farmer.
Secretary of state—George D.
Brayton, Jerome, farmer.
State auditor—Allen J. Cran

Small Cars—and the Declining
Cost of Tire Mileage
I*
You are aware, of course, that dur
ing the last ten years, Goodyear has
been, able steadily to increase the
amount of mileage built into its tires*
Do you realize, also, that this in
crease has been accomplished with
out extra cost to the user—that
Goodyear Tires are priced no higher
today than in .1910?
h* no ^ 'Goodyear line is
the declining cost of mileage more
evident than in the present 30x3-,
30x3 1 /&- and 31 x4-inch size Good
year Tires made especially for small
cars.
If you own a Ford, Chevrolet, Dort,
Maxwell or other car taking these
sizes, go to your nearest Service
Station for Goodyear Tires—get the
exceptional worth and endurance
that Goodyear builds into them.

neer but at present he is mayor of
Pocatello. It is just as revelent to
say that Cox and Harding as labor
candidates because they once held
typögraphical union cards as to
camouflage Whitaker's candidacy as
that of a railroad engineer.
Thus of the entire tocket, Allen J.
Crandall, vice president of the Idaho
Federation of Labor, residing at Ida
ho Falls, is the only real labor candi
date of the ticKet. And he was
"drafted" only when Ed Martins, ac
countant in a Farmer's Co-operative
store at Sand Point refused to be
come a candidate.
At that leaders of the "Independ
ent" party probably named labor can
didates in just about the proportion
that they expect to get organized
labor votes.
w. c. t T ^^ SKÜX ^ L eeting
The annual meeting of the W. G.
T.. U. with election of officers and
reports will be held Friday, Aug. 20,
at 2 o'clock .instead of 2:30, in the
basement of the Methodist church.
BAPTIST CHURCH
On Sunday morning the pastor will
talsp as his theme, "Why Must a Man
Be Born Again?" In the evening the
church will be host to the worshippers
from the other city church, joining in
the union meetings. Th|s will fee
the closing service of these meetings
for this summer. It will commence
at 8 o clock and be characterized by a
live song service. Special music by
A. H. Quast and sermon by Dr. Win
ters of the Methodist church. Let's
make it the best meeting of the ser
vice .
BAPTISTS HOLD PICNIC
More than 300 picnicers had a day
of frolic and fun at the Curtis park
Wednesday. The occasion was the
.annual picnic of the Baptist Sunday
school and B. Y. P. U., the Sunday
school having the right-of-way dur
ing the daylight hours. Athletic and
aquatic »ports, gamec and contests
were entered into heartily by old and
young. The tables loaded down with*
all kinds of good things to eat were
perhaps the ctnter of attraction, and
a real contest was on when each per
son seated at the tables was trying
to show himself a prize-winner. Th"c
young people of the B. Y. came out
for a straw ride in the evening and
had a jolly good time about the camp
fire with games and' eats.
Curtis park .with its shade and grass
and children's playground and swim
ming privileges is certainly a splendid
asset to the city and the question
was asked many times as to why the
grounds were- not kept up in better
shape when it could be done at so
little expense.

CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR
Many housewives are just learning
fruit may be successfully canned
without sugar.
When canning peaches or apples to
be used especially as desert, they are
sometimes canned in syrup. Straw
berries also are sometimes canned in
syrup. But all other fruits and ber
ries should be prepared for canning
by putting them in granite, aluminum
or porcelain stewpans with enough
water added to come to the top of
the fruit, the stewpan covered and
the contents cooked until easily
pierced with a fork. The fruit is then
dipped into heated, sterilized jars,
packed closely, covered with boiling
juices from the stewpan and sealed.
Only a little water should be added
to berries, unless others do like my
self, add water to come tb the top
self, add water to comc tb the top
which add water to come to the top

the sugar added, giving it time for t
sweetening to penetrate the fruit.
The fruit may be prepared for
cooking, packed in jars, covered with
cold water, and the cooking done in
the jars. But unless one has a boil
er, provided with a rack for holding
jars, I find it quite as easy to cook
in stewpans or a large disnpan, and
then transfer the fruit to the jars.
A good fitting cover retains the
steam and insures even cooking
throughout.
It is . very necessary that all vege
tables except tomatoes, beets jknd cu
cumber pickles, be cooked in jars.
That is my experience, at least.
