Convention Was a Representative Gather.
Ing Of the Business Interests
Of This State.
EVERY COUNTY WAS REPRESENTED
Delegates Were Heartily Entertained
by the Citizens of the Con.
ventiOn Town.

The democratic state convention
Mt Pocatello last week was a great
success. The entire representation
of 243 delegates was present, there
being no proxies and very few al
ternates. Probably more repre-
sentative gathering Of the business
interests of this state has never as
sembled within its borders, and
certainly this convention was be-
yond the manipulation of any of
the most astute politicians, and no
man could predict the outcome of
its action upon any given propo-
sition.
Every county was represented
by its full delegation, even far-off
and isolated old Idaho county hav-
ing it's IA delegates besides two
Others in attendance, although the
trip from Grangeville to Pocatello
involves journey Of 1900 miles,
going and returning, while the
transfers are made at such hours
of the night and morning as to for
bid the idea of much sleep Never
theless, the delegation stood the
trip in fine shape and, for the FIRST
time since Idaho county has given
democratic majorities, succeeded in
securing recognition for the county
by placing Mr.. Fogg on the ticket
for judge of the supreme court.
Incidentally, we may say that
idaho county has three of its citi-
zens upon three state tickets for
this important Office, w. A. Hall
being the nominee of the prohibi
, tionists. Mr.. Ailshie on the repub-
lican ticket, aad now comes NJ
Fogg TO represent the young and
vigorous drmocia y of this young
and vigorous community From
this coincidence it would seem tha
Idaho county is bound to. b.. rep
resented on the supreme bench Of
he state for the ensuing six years
regardless of who may be elected
At a later date we shal speak OF
the ticket PRESENTED for the ratifi-
cation Of the democratic voters of
the state, and it will be enough to
say now that it is regarded by onr
political opponents as an excep-
tionally strong body of men to
whom the administration OF our
,tatc affairs may safely be intrusted
for the ensuing two years.
