MAIS WILL ! . • Charge Is Made That Action ip.t,-- v,— *l a tn _.. taken by the Democratic County Committee Satur How Wo a Tllarrnl uay W as Illegal. HOLD A PRIMARY HI ADA COIM That a primary election will be held In Ada county by the Democratic party for the purpose of electing 30 delegatus to the state convention at Pocatello May 18 has been definitely determined, w. A. Ricks, one of the leading Dem ocrats among the younger element in the party authorized this announce ment today. He issued a statement re garding the meeting ot the county committee Saturday and calling atten tion to the primary to be held. This statement is as follows: '"That action of Chairman Hindman is looked upon with misgiving. How the machine beguiled him into par ticipating in the repetition of the steam roller is a matter, in my mind, for speculation. I know where his heart is, and I know that he stands for a preferential primary. But he didn't stand for it Saturday—in fact, he gave t" e power the committee heretofore re kosed in him to defeat it. He refused to recognize the recent meeting of a majority of the county central com mittee which took away his power to fill existing vacancies and filled them regardless of the committee and the consequences of his illegal acts. His conduct in the matter of these vacan cies is likened unto that of an abso lute monarch. Republicans for Committeemen? "But simply filling these vacancies Isn't the worst thing he lias done. Probably the Democrats would stand fur that—that is, if he had filled them with Democrats.. But he didn't fill all of them with Democrats. In Highland precinct he appointed a Republican to the vacancy and in Mora and Owyhee, two other precincts, he appointed So cialists. Proxies from these precincts were voted by Messrs. Nugent, Win stead and Pence. "It Is unfortunate that the demand pir a preferential primary by the rank und file of our fellow Democrats should be so utterly disregarded. But the rea son for such disregard was frankly hit upon by Paris Martin In an outburst ot eloquence. He stated that 'the doc trine of "I-et the people rule" is noth ing but buncombe.' He held a machine proxy and voted it without a break in the rhythm, but in his speech he was continually flattening where lie should have been sharpening. Mr. Nugent sat there and listened with the corners of his mouth sagging down under the A— •— Ns... * Si I -sfc; But g£8-* 1*5^25^ Thousands of Æ physicians and mi 11 ions W of housewives will swear ^ r to that.

The expressions on their faces fairly attitudinised. After 'Pat* got his confession out several speak ers tried to pour salve on the machine's wounds. It was really funny. Committee Action Illegal. "However, as I view It, the action of the committee Saturday is purely il legal. The delegates to the Pocateljo convention were elected by Hindman's appointees, and as Hindman has no 'authority to make appointments, since the reee nt action of the committee. his 'lolegutos have no legal right to represent Ada county in the conven tlon. This condition of affairs is ox tremely unfortunate, but it is never theless true. ••'It is necessary now to hold a prl . . , |m«y in the various precincts and elect delegates to a county convention who win elect delegates to the Pocatello convention. At a meeting of the county central committee at which the chairman was deprived of his power lo fill vacancies a resolution was put through authorizing delegates to be selected by a primary and a legal del egation cannot be selected in any other manner without first rescinding this resolution. "Every Democrat, if he voice in the management of bis party's affairs, should put hls shoulder to the wheel and lend his best efforts to the selection of a real representative dele gation to the Pocatello convention." visiles a Miss Marion Tipton has returned from Idaho Falls.

TRAFFIC ORDINANCE BEING COMPLIED WITH Relative to the observance of the traffic ordinance in Boise, Chief of Po lice Parker makes the following obser vations: "For some time after I went into the police department, considerable trouble was experienced in the enforcement of the city traffic ordinance, and I re gret to say that the situation has de manded a rather strict application of the ordinance. It seemed to be neces sary to make quite a number of ar rests in the department's endeavor to bring about a more general compliance with that statute, and while the cam paign evidently displeased some people I am sure it was generally looked upon favorably and in the interest of life and property. It was certainly of de cided educational value and no doubt ■ had considerable to do with bringing about the present very satisfactory condition in the matter of the city's traffic. The ordinance in question was passed in 1914 and amended in 1915 and most drivers of vehicles should be entirely familiar with its provisions by this time. While some portions of the ordinance may seem rather stringent, they were incorporated in it to pro tect human life and property, and al I though it requires constant observa tion and a full measure of care to meet Us requirements, it seems that any reasonable efforts put forth in that di rection are not misdirected. "It is indeed gratifying to me to be able to observe Increasing precaution in the matter on the part of drivers of vehicles, with a rapidly decreasing number of violations of the ordinance, and fewer accidents are occurring now than at any other time In many months. In other words, there ap pears to be a growing tendency among our people towards a stricter observ ance of the .traffic regulations, to the end that human life and property may be more generally safeguarded, "While there are some individuals, principally boys, who persist In vio lating that provision of the ordinance prohibiting the riding of bicycles on sidewalks, and who will surely get into trouble if they do not stop the prac tice. I desire to reiterate that co operative sentiment tn this matter is I growing, and I greatly appreciate the ' encouragement given the police depart ment in its campaign of education by those interested. I trust that from now on It will seldom be necessary for any officer to make an arrest for a viola tion of the •traffic ordinance in Boise." Fertilizers for lawns, garden, fields. W. S. & G. Cb.
