y motion was then made that the
convention take a recess for thirty
minutes to allow the committees to
meet and prepare their reports. l. N.
smith opposed the motion. He wanted
|" adjourn until 100 o'clock, adding:
1t is evident to us that there is
slate, and that it is to be rushed
through with all possible speed The
other side need not think it can get
the ticket through by 1880 o'clock
this afternoon, in time for the coun-
try delegates to catch that train for
home. 1t can not be done. Inasmuch
as we can not catch that train for
nome this afternoon, why not take
recess until half past one?"
There were several remarks to the
motion, which was finally put, a
standing vote being demanded.
While Secretary McEachron was
counting the negatives, Mr.. Smith rose
to his feet and said:
Borah Men Concede Defeat.
I'VE conceed that we are licked.
Why waste the time counting the del
egates?"
The chair said the motion to adjourn
for half an hour was carried and the
Borah forces met their second defeat
of the morning, both occurring within
less than half an hour of each other.
When the convention reconvened at
was that Of an order Of business which
II o'clock the first committee to report
was adopted.
There was some discussion relative
to the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting the re-
port before the report Of the commit
tee on credentials had been heard
from, but no action was taken The
order of business follows:
First-Report Of committee on Gre
dentials; second, report of committee
on permanent organizations; third Sc
lection of delegates to state conven-
ton; fourth. report of committee on
resolutions; fifth, recess; sixth, rec
ommendation that temporary organi-
Zation be made permanent; seventh,
nomination Of the county ticket in the
following order:
State senator, five members Of the
legislature. auditor. sheriff. assessor,
probate judge, treasurer school super
intendent, prosecuting attorney, sur
veyor coroner, commissioners from
first second and third commissioner
districts. precinct officers and selec-
tion of precinct committeeman.
Borah Forces Again TrippeG Up.
At this juncture the Borah forces
through Lingenfelter made a second
attempt to adjourn, bu: were voted
down.
The deliberations of the convention
were delayed more than Is minutes by
the evident Withholding Of the Lewis
ton second precinct credentials. The
action was retaliatory on it's part Of
the Borah forces. which hoped by the
dilatory tactics to delay the morning
session as long as possible inasmuch
as an early recess could not be Sc
cured.
The report of the credential COM
mittee. which was adopted at 1890
O'clock showed all precincts repre-
scented excepting Dent, with two votes,
making 1919 votes in the convention.
To obviate all technicalities. a mo-
ton to reconsider the committee on
permanent organization report was
adopted, and the report was adopted
second time.
The recommendation of the COM
mittee on permanent organization that
the temporary organization be made
permanent. was adopted.
B. c. Barbor of Nezperce. under the
order of business. moved that the fol- [
lowing be the delegates to the state /
convention:
