There has been a tremendous amount

into the fight that eliminated In the
routing Of the Chatterton forcs IN yes
terday's convention gentleman who
was former resident Of Wyoming, and
who has been keeping in close touch
with the situation, said 10 the Deseret
News today that Il was simply case
Of che north and the south parts Of the
state, and the Union Pacific railroad IN
terests locking in q determined and
desperate struggle, with the result
that the northern delegates won. He
explained that the Union Pacific had
enormous holdings In the southwestern
part OF the state; that II controlled the
tier OF counties there that this con
irol was not In harmony with or to the
advantage Of the people OF the north
that the latter concluded TO fight ii out
IN the conventions that Chatterton
who was q pleasant gentleman person
ally, was defeated not on his own ac-
count, but because he was supposed 20
be backed by the railroad. That, he
said, was the sum total OF the whole
trouble, except that II likewise en-
braced the differences that arose out Of
the passage Of the law two years ago,
leyying a tax upon the output Of the
coal mines, which has been very OBJ
,Ioxious to the railroad company own

Idaho Republicans Meet.

The Republican State Central
Committee met at Boise last Tues
day and selected Pocatello as the
place for holding the convention to
send delegate' to the national con-
vention. A pleasing point to be
noted in connection Herewith is
the fact that Kootenai is beginning
to loom up as one of the big coun-
ties in the apportionment of dele
gates.
Two years ago this county had
but II votes in the Republican con-
vertion, while this year the num-
Der has increased to II. The other
four northern counties have repre-
sentation as follows: Idaho, 49,;
Latah, IS; Nez Perez, 20; Shoshone,
%.
North Idaho has a total of 90
votes in the next convention, and
if they should combine they would
cut a mighty big swath.
The convention to nominate
state officers will be held at Moscow
on August 10th The Pocatello
convention will be held May 18th.
