ShyS Two Conventions.
COTTONWOOD AND DENVER SELECTED
Many Candidates Appear in
the Horizon.

l.
N this city Monday at which time
The tim and place for holding pri-
maries and conventions and appor-
tioning representation was fixed.
AS is usual at such meetings, most
were present by proxy
but enough were there in person
to make an interesting meeting.
Besides the committeeman from
precincts in this immediate section.
H. G. Quigley, Ferdinand; G. }.
Hall, Salmon river; Geo. Saunders,
Harpster; A. B. Clayton, Denver;
G. B. Stewart, Westlake; S. r.
Libby, Cottonwood; Thos. Oliver,
Sites nd E. Dunn, Green Creek.
c. S. Gregory Of Pollock was re-
present ed by Sheriff Green and
Geo. A kire of Lucille, by County |
Attorney Hardy.
The date for holding primaries
was set for July 7th when delegates
will be chosen for both conventions.
The first convention will be held
at Den yer, July IA, to elect dele
gates to the state convention and
the sec ond will be held at Cotton
wood, August 25th, to name a
county ticket. The apportionment
of representation will be one dele
gate for each 20 votes or major
portion thereof cast for Governor
Gooding g at the last election. A
portion of the meeting was held be-
hind closed doors and it is rumored
that a resolution offered caused
considerable discussion and it was
finally decided to lay it on the table
and keep its contents secret. VI
course such things usually leak out
and it is stated on reasonably good
authority that the resolution was
one cd mmending Governor Good
ing's administration and it was
tabled because number OF pros
pective candidates present did not
care to go on record either for or
against him. Every committee
meeting q naturally brings up the
discussion Of probable candidates
and it developes that there is far
from being shortage in men will
ing nd anxious to serve their
country V. In fact it appears every
one n Dw holding Office would like
to con tinue working for the "dear
people excepting Assessor Julian
who b ad rather work for himself
Most of the candidates come from
Grang eville and the republican
party has an abundance of politica
patriots right here in town to rur
the whole state. On the Legislative
ticket those mentioned for state
senator are G. HI. Nugent, +. w
Oliver, Fred White and G. j. Lisle
Some Of these, and they are thos
most fitted for the position, will
make no fight for the place but i
is reported that Mr.. Lisle think
he should have the nomination
without opposition as reward TO
the noble work he claims to hav
done in saving Idaho county fror
the d. epredation of the evil doer'
The representatives will be chose
from different parts of the count
and about the only one mentione
for a place from here is w. A
Jones. Mr.. Jones is well know
all ov er the county, is popular wit
the pe eople and would make a goo
representative.
