Instructions J. f. Harroll and two
proxies. A full state ticket is to be NOM
| mated, also three presidential electors and
| a congressman. Willis Sweet will be nom-
| mated by acclamation. The race for the
| governorship is the chief point of
| interest. 1t lies between Governor
Wiley, w. ]. Mcconnell, of Moscow, and
A. r. Moss, of Payette. The Ada county
delegation is divided now, six for McCon-
nell and seven for Moss. The six McCon-
| neil men have caucused and resolved to
| stand firm to the last. Latah county is
solid for Mcconnell. He claims follow
| ing of eighty votes, fourteen more than
enough to elect, but this claim is not
accepted by friends of the other candi
dates. who say Mcconnell is talking loud
for effect, and that he is a large way short
of the nomination. For lieutenant
governor II. o. Harkens, of Bingham, is
the only name mentioned. For secretary
of state, Major Pinkhsm, the present in
cumbent, is again in full control. His op-
ponent is Charles III. Reed, of Ada, and
there is talk of bringing out Frank Ram
sey, of Bingham, who had also been
slated for auditor. This would narrow
the fight for auditor to w. c.
Hill. of Logan: w. b. Thews
of Owyhee; George NJ. Pettingill, of Ada
