mont counties precipitated a lively
scrimmage. The. uproar became so
great that the peaceful citizens OF
Occur d'Alene, fearing for the safety
OF the city, chartered boat, pressed
a few adventurous spirits into the
service and put the whole menagerie
to sea. After getting beyond the city
limits, all restraint was thrown over
board. Charges and counter-charges,
examinations and determinations came
after each other head over heels,
Fistic encounters were avoided on
ly by the benign smile of Temporary
Chairman Heitfeld, the rising in
Election of Senator Dubois and the
pugilistic reputation of Charley
Jackson. The soothing zephyrs and
placid waters of Lake Occur d'Alene
a landing was affected in safety. The
regularly elected Democratic delega-
lions from Bear Lake and Fremont
counties were denied seats in the
convention because they did not take
kindly to the program. The platform
declares for the direct primary law,
an eight-hour law, for Senator Du-
bois, for the suppression of the
trusts, for the principles of Jefferson
and Jackson, for Bryan, for Irriga-
ton congress $1,000 worth, for state
university and against the Mormons
from Joseph Smith to Joe Dudley.
They denounced the administration of
Governor Gooding but were strange
ly silent about the forest reserve pol
icy of Forester Pinchot Some wanted
an anti-pass resolution, but this flow
er was withered on the spot. The
convention organized by electing
Henry Heitfelt temporary chairman
and Charles E. Arney temporary sec
rotary. After a little speech by
Chairman Heitfelt, committees were
appointed. The convention then ad-
journed to give the committees time
to deliberate. The committee on
credentials made two reports, -one in
favor of admitting the Bear Lake
delegation. The other in favor of
shutting them out. This latter was
the minority report and was finally
adopted. After throwing out all
opposition, the convention harmon
iously carried out the Dubois pro-
gram. The following ticket was
