What Action Shall be Taken.

North Idaho in securing the represer
tation allowed us by the Legislature {
Washington, in their Constitutions
Convention to meet next June at Wall
Walla. All admit the Importance G
our accepting the terms offered us, an
sending delegate. But the questio
is the best method of bringing thi
about SO as to attain fair representation
of the people of North Idaho upon tn
question of who shall serve in that ca
pacity. We do not like to be forward
In the suggestion of plan of action. l
is not our province. We prefer Others
to do this. But since we have beer
urged to indicate plan which may be
adopted or not, as suits the citizens, We
shall not be backward; so we make the
following suggestions: In the first
place there is no officer under the laws
Of Idaho, who has authority as such to
order an election of delegate, hence
the action must be taken by the people
in their primary capacity. This can be
done on similar principle to the organ
ization of any one Of the political par
ties. Let there be call for conven-
ton, either mass or by delegates from
the different precincts, in each of the
three counties Of Nez Perez, Idaho and
Shoshone, for the purpose of choosing
delegates to general convention of
these three counties, and let this gener-
al convention either directly elect the
delegate to the State Convention or
make nomination to be afterwards
voted upon by the people and provide
the method of voting and the manner
OF the returns. The object of course is
to get fair expression of the wishes
Of the citizens as to who shall 60 as del.
egate to the State Convention. IF the
question is to be resubmitted to the PEG.
pie by the general convention of the
three counties, it will entail some ex.
pense, which must be provided for by
that convention. IF a fair expression
can be obtained by allowing the general
convention Of the three counties to |
make the choice of the delegate, that
method will be less expensive. A dele
gate elected by either method would be
admitted. The main object is secure
that man who is the choice of the PEG.
pie, who are now residents of North
Idaho, and are to be affected by the ac-
ton of that State Convention. The
people should see to it, that the proper
man is chosen, one who can properly
represent the interests of these three
counties in the deliberations of the
Walla Walla convention, and will do 50
honestly, intelligeutly and faithfully.
1t is hard to give basis of representa-. {,
ton in the general convention of the ]
three counties, from the fact that since t
the last election in North Idaho great
changes have taken place in the popula- Q
lion, so that to take the vote at the a
election in the Fall of 1875, as basis t
IF representation, would disfranchise .

his point is simply this, that the differ >,
