Sfeunenberg in
Full Control

Lewiston, Ida, June 6.-The forces of
Governor Steunenberg triumphed to-
day in the state Democratic conven-
ton, seating the contesting delegation
from Shoshone county, friendly to the
governor, the vote being 1872 to II. The
result is q practical endorsement of
Governor Steunenberg's administration
IN the Occur d'Alene trouble. as the
night in the convention was made al
most entirely on that line.
Inc opposition to the governor made
stubborn fight for two DAYS and de-
pate on the report of the credentials
committee lasted four hours. ONLY in
direct reference was made to the Goeur
'Alene trouble by the opposition. the
speakers limiting their remarks to the
personnel OF the conteSting delegations
and to the regularity of their creden-
tials. ShOshone county is the scene of
the Occur d'Alene mining difficulties.
and one of the contesting delegations
represented the element opposed to the
administration of affairs there.
The issue, therefore, brought the
Occur d'Alene matter directly before
the convention. The Steunenberg men
contended that the Shoshone county
Democratic convention was controlled
by Populists, who captured the prima-
ries under the dictation of those re-
sponsible for the labor troubles.
on the preliminary vote to seat
neither delegation the proposition was
defeated by a vote of 10 2to 81. The
vote on this contest showed Steunen-
berg's control of the convention. and
the opposition then gave way.
The resolutions passed endorse
Bryan for president and Colonel James
Hamilton Lewis of Washington state
for vice president. and favor fusion
of all reform forces in the campaign.
The convention elected the follow

ton: Colonel w. H Dewey of Nampa.
