DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARIES
Harmony Tickets Have Been
Named and Are Being
Voted on Today :

The democratic party is today en-
gagged in selecting delegates to the
county convention to be held here June
/. which convention will name, twenty
delegates to the state convention which
meets at Weiser. June 6. The selection
Of delegates is now being made by pri-
maries being held in the several pre-
cincts of the city. At a caucus held last
evening in the court house set of
names were agreed on that are being
voted upon today. From the list of del
egates that are up it is a toss up as to
where the delegates will stand in the
convention. The ticket contains Parker.
Hearst Cleveland and other stripes Of
democracy but the main fight will like
" be made on the delegates to be Sc
lected i'm the convention to go to Weiser
1t is generally known that Senator
Hetfeld is candidate for delegate 70
the national convention and il has been
said w. p. Hurlbut of this city also as
pres to that honor. A new candidate
has developed in the person of A. w
Kroutinger. His friends have an
nounced that they would like to see him
go to the national convention. In view
of all these circumstances il is not
unlikely that a fight will be waged in
the primaries today. This would seem
impossible considering that by caucus
harmony ticket was put up last even
ing but is being whispered that some
one is scratching a few tickets this
afternoon and inserting favored dele
gates in the interests of one of the cam
ddates who wish to go to the national
convention. The tale will be told how
ever. when the ballots are counted this
evening.
1t is generally rumored that an effort
will be made to send Nez Perce
county delegation to Weiser that will be
in favor of Mr.. Hurlbut but il is not
believed that the delegation will con-
centrate on anv one man and il is not
unlikely that in the caucus at Weiser
that Nez Perce county man will he
named. The Latah county delegation
will be ractically in favor OF sending
eitfeld to the national convention for
the reason that the delegation will be
dominated by Mr.. Heitfeld's friends.
Some of the party leaders of Idaho
county have announced that they are
not unfavorable to Mr.. eHitfeld. With
such sentiment it will probably result
In Nez Perce county settling on Mr..
Heitfeld. If Nez Perce county does not
get together on their choice something
is liable to happen similar to the slip
made by Nez Perce county in the re-
publican convention at Pocatello
1t is hardly probable that the con-
cention here will send an instructed
delegation for Hearst as many OF the
delegates in the county while not op-
posed to him. believe that if an unin-
structed delegation is sent to Weiser
that the Nez Perce delegation will be in
much better condition to protect the
interests Of this county
