prepared by the Republican lead
ers of Idaho. In a convention in
which there was only one woman dele
gate a stampede was effected this even
ing and Miss S. Belle Chamberlain Of
Bcise city was nominated for State
superintendent of Public Instruction
over &. A. Carpenter Of Idaho Falls,
The sympathy OF the convention was
with Miss Chamberlain from the first.
and when Ada County cast it's twenty
seven votes for Carpenter there was. a
storm of Kisses and sboos-" Every del
egation voting for the fair candidate
was cheered. and before the vote could
be announced the convention was car
ried by storm and Miss chamberiain's
nomination was made unanimous.
The young woman was escorted to
the platform. and in a pleasing speech
conferred and frankly stated that she
believed the women voters of the State
were entitled to this recognition. Mr..
Carpenter, the defeated candidate, was
called to the platform, and compliment
ed his successful opponent on her vic
tory.
r. w Mcbride of Salmon City, slated
by the Gooding Brady Borah combina-
ton for State Mining Inspector, was
not presented to the convention, and
Robert NJ. Bell incumbent. was renom-
mated, defeating S. P. Barr of Idaho
County and James Mcpherson Of Blaine
County. With these two exceptions the
slate agreed upon Tuesday evening by
Governor Gooding. State Chairman
James H Brady and w. e. Borah and
their followers was put through with
out material opposition.
1t seems to be the general opinion
tonight that the leaders tacitly ac-
euiesced in the defeat of the slate can
d.dates for these two positions, recog-
nizing, first, their error in not naming
ond. believing that this slight deviation
from their programme would tend to
appease insurgents from Northern and
Eastern Idaho.
The ticket was nominated as follows:
For Justice of the Supreme Court
George H. Stewart, Boise; for member
CT Congress, Burton Lee French, Mos
COW (renominated); for Governor
Frank r. Gooding, Shoshone (renom-
inated); for Lieutenant Governor, E. A
