Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Aug. e.
Tile democratic leaders of the state
began to arrive here Sunday night,
and are feeling jubilant over the SIT
nation with about two hundred dele
gates In attendance. When 1T Is re-
memhered that there are only pa
delegates entitled to seats, this is Il
remarkable showing, in vie" of the
fact that many of the delegates nave
come as far as thousand miles.
Not only are the counties from the
far south represented, but the most
of them have full delegations. Bing-
ham and Lemhi counties have full
delegations, with foul from Custer,
three from Bear Lake, full list
from Washington and fifteen from
Ada.
Among the leaders on the ground
are Senator Dubois, former Senator
ueitfeld, Chairman Jackson, OF the
state committee, s. p. Donneliy, and
many others who have gained state
reputation In the bast few years are
to the fore In the democatic councils.
DR.. ". C. Whitwell neads the list
of the Lemhi delegation, and IL the
other counties Of the state send as
enthusiastic supporters of Dub Is as
the Lemhi contingent, the conven-
tion will be unanimous. While there
are some counties on the ground that
are unfavorable to Dubois, yet IT u
evident that they are largely In the
minority; and unquestionably the
views of the senator are acceptable.
The platform of 1904 is practically
re-afIirmed. and In addition demands
that the constitutional provision, re-
specting the right OF suffrage be In
corporated into a statuatory test
oath. A law against illegal cohabi
tation and polygamist living and al
act providing for change of venue OF
motion of the state is also demanded
The platform dwells at some length
upon a direct primary Legislation
and an eight hour law for miners.
