Eterything this norning pointed to
q victory for the 0oodfng forces. The
main development Of the caucuses last
| night was the decision Of the LAtah
delegation to follow Fr>nch 70 the aid
Of Gooding. The announcement came
early this morning like . bombshell
That French had deserted Morrison
could not be credited. That he has no'
helped his candidacy can not be de-
MED. After going over into the Good.
ing column Munson of Latah was sen
to the Nez Perce delegation to en-.
Il deavor to swing that delegation In tn
Gooding column and go for French
He talked before the delegation for tw'
t hours endeavoring to sway the dele
gates but all to no avail. He said tina
l the delegation was bound by the actor
4 of the county convention to supper
y Morrison and French and that whel
Z the Morrison boom seemed lost that
2 should follow the dictates of Frenc
e and come out squarely for him. He ap
;. pealed to the delegates to follow Frenc
i and thus land North Idaho man !
9 congress. He said that Kester had n
z strings on the delegation that 1t wa
q not in honor bound to stay with hin
!, A caucus vote was finally taken to SAT
isfy Munson and Nez Perce stood wit
. Morrison and Kester. The situatio
r this morning IL peculiar in many way
Z and while It looks blue for Morrison b
a is counting on 13S votes solidly. She
- shone county is in the Morrison colum
n now and Nez Perce. Idaho. and Koo'
" enai are solid with Morrison. tn
j. combined strength of these counties al
II now with Beale for congress.
It Sullivan Of Blaine county has bee
h thrown down by Gooding and on Sull
y van depends the nomination OF Morr
le son. The great fight in the conventis
te this afternoon will be on the order
ty business. Sullivan has developed gre
n strength. 1t has been announced tn
N Gooding has agreed to throw his SUI
* port to Stewart for supreme judge Al
g. in order to nominate him will cham
le the order of business as originally pu
e lished In the call. The first order
N business in the call is the nominati
A. of supreme Judge. II this Is chang
do and the gubernatorial nomination
u up first Sullivan threatens to thrt
c. the nine votes OF Blaine county to Nc
r. rison which assures the nomination
nd the latter and his entire slate. tt
T. this il very probable IL the opinion
Sc many Of the delegates now here. 7
Sc great fight will be made on the fit
3 of this convention on this one issue a
to an effort is now being made to organ
he for the purpose OF putting the strong
ty arguments possible In favor Of the NJ
i'd rison slate which win be handled
