The discOntentment among the rank
and file of the delegates over the obvious
purpose of the bosses to force the slate
through convention mi
mated at a late hour tonight in meet
ing of the insurgents in the Mormon meet
ing-h house. Some hot speeches were made
and resolution adopted to the effect
that candidates in opposition to the eate
be suggested in the convention. Three
counties, Bingham, ShOshOne and Ere
mont with total of 81 votes out of the
conventions 239, were represented 1T is
the consensus of opinion at midnight that
the slate as agreed on will go through,
though the insurgents viii make a frantic
effort to win over enough delegates to
smash it. One of the stories aflOas early
this morning is that as the price of
Brady's agreement TO the harmony plan
Borah and his friends are to support
Brady for the senatOrship TO succeed
Hepburn two years hence.
Kckers Are Candidates.
Nearly all the speakers at the insur-
gents meeting in the Mormon meeting
house tonight were either themselves can
didates. One of the hottest talks was
made by Judge Beatty of the federal
court. who is not even delegate to the
convention Judge Beatty said he had
been criticized for taking part in politics
while holding a federal position, but he
could not and would not apologize for his
course. He said he was glad to attend
the protest meeting because he saw there
men who were determined to exercise
their rights as citizens. "A few dema-
gogues want to rule the party" said
Judge Beatty. who has long been can
didate for United States senator. "A
dozen men meet and attempt to tell US
who the officers of this state shall be-
You are here tonight 10 put the brand OF

was the adoption of a resolution prOvid-

an agreement to drop the low man in each
case and go to the high men.
At a caucus Of the BOrah supporters
earlier in the night Mr.. Borah made a.
talk in which he said that is his friends

he would at once withdraw his name

Convention Will Be Short.
So smoothly have the leaders ,arranged
the program that it is practically certain
that all the work of the convention will
be completed not later than at a night
session tomorrow, greatly to the disgust
of the good people of POcatello who had
counted on the development of a fight
that would keep the convention In session
for at least two days Indeed, it looked
this morning as if there would be a bitter
fight.

that BOrah's instructed strength was too
