A Strange Incident.

H. II. Hoff, who came IN Monday
from his Georgetown ranch where
he had been helping to put up his
first crop of hay, relates a very
strange incident which happened
there Sunday morning about seven
O'clock. With only few feeting
clouds In the sky, there came a fash
of lightning which was followed by
a terrific clap of thunder. A tree
at Bishop Hayes place was badly
shattered and at G. G. Richards
place, young man who was going
TO the barnyard to milk, was SO
badly stunned that his right arm
was numb for a half hour after
wards. There was only the one
clap of thunder and no rain fell.
Mr.. Hoff, who was still in bed, says
that he cannot remember of ever
having heard more severe clap of
thunder and he arose expecting to
see evidences of a heavy storm, but
was surprised to find only q few
scattering clouds in sight.
shight.
Mr.. Hoff says that his hay crop
was much better than he anticipated
it would be month ago. From Is
acres they secured 70 big loads OF
hay. The second crop, he says, al.
so gives promise of good yield.

On the question of nominating a
senator there was and is difference
of opinion in the party, but we
believe the action of the convention
in disposing of the question with
out a bitter contest will be COM
mended throughout the state. The
opposition to the plan was general
ly directed against the principle
and not against Mr.. Borah. He is
unquestionably the choice of
majority Of the republicans Of the
state, and in the opinion of the
Press would be elected senator with
out the endorsement of the conven-
tion.
The denomination of Congressman
French was a deserved endorsement
of his work IN the lower house in
behalf of the state. With his ex-
perience Of four years, his third
term will be marked with even
greater efficiency. Wallace Press.
Idaho has held its last republican
state convention. 1t will 60 down
in state history as one of the most
rational and satisfactory that eyer
assembled. The next legislature will
pass direct primary law in keeping
with the pledge in the state platform
and the occasion for future political
conventions will not exist.
The people have every reason to
feel satisfied with the outcome of the
factional fight in the party and the
republicans of Washington county
have reason to feel proud of the
part that their delegation took In
bringing about the reconciliation.
There will be no question in the
minds of the people regarding the
endorsement that the state ticket will
receive at the polls. Borah will be
chosen for Senator by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority and that majority will
be accepted by the legislature as a
direct commission to formally elect
him. Governor Goodlng will be re.
elected easily, as he richly deserves,
and the republican party will be
given new lease of power IN all de-
partm. .nts.-W eiser World.

MONTPELIER, IDAHO,
SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
How the Wo-k Of the Republican
Convention Is Viewed by Pa
pers In the State.
1t is the Registers ticket, and
the Register will use all of it's in
auence to elect each and every can
dldate named on it. There are some
Of the nominees that the Register
had objection to, but they are re-
publicans and have many friends in
the republican party, and having
received the nomination are entitled
to the vote of every republican in
the State of Idaho. They are all
men and women, and
qualified to fill the offices for which
they are nominated.-Idaho Falls
Register.
The ticket nominated at Pocatello
by the republican state convention
is good one all through, and one
that will be winner by an unprec-
edented majority. The nomination
in convention of Mr.. Borah for
United States Senator, while objec-
tionable in principle, has brought
harmony in the ranks Of the party
and made 1t possible for the re-
publicans to present q united and
lnvincible front IN the coming cam
palgn. The leaders and delegates
to the convention deserve the
greatest credit for the harmonizing
of all difference. The ticket is one
that can be supported by all re-
pub.icans with loyalty and enthusi.
asm.-Nampa Leader.
The convention at Pocatello has
given the party ticket that all re-
publicans can support with enthusi-
asm. The two strong leaders of the
situation have been nominated, one
for governor and the other for SEN
ator, while the candidates named for
other places are such as can receive
the unqualified support of the party.
1t has been the belief of the States
man from the beginning of the con-
test that the nomination of Gooding
ahd Borah would prove an inyinc-
able combination, and in the light
of the manner in which the nomlna-
tions were taken by the delegates to
the convention, its feels that the
combination is even stronger than it
anticipated. Boise Statesman.
The republican state ticket nomi-
mated at the Pocatello convention
and the declaration of principles put
forth by the party are the strongest
ever placed before the people of
Idaho by any political organization.

paign with every hope of a sweep

Mine Inspector Samuel Norman
1t took the democratic state con
vention, which met at Occur d'AleneI
las, Monday morning, two days to
perfect an organization and about
Is minutes to nominate the above
ticket, which had been prepared by
Senator Dubois. No other names
were placed before the convention
for any Office other than those se-
lected by Boss Fred, and the con-
vention simply went through the
form Of ratifying his selection.
The delay in perfecting an organi-
zation was caused by the fight over
the question Of seating the delegates
from Fremont and Bear Lake coun-
ties. From Fremont there were
two delegations-one composed of
Mormons and a contesting delega-
tion composed entirely of Gentiles.
After heated debate lasting two
hours the credential committee
voted to seat the contesting or
Gentle delegation.
The Bear Lake credentials were
theh taken up and it was then that
fur began to fly in punches. A
protest against seating Hart and
Dalrymple was read from Chairman
Jackson of the state committee.
After the protest was read Jackson
explained his position in an i'm
passloned speech, declaring the en-
tire organization in Bear Lake coun.
ty had placed itself outside the
party. When he asked it to make
arrangements for meeting he re
celved reply stating they had nc
money to pay for religious persecu
ton. He made the statement that
E. M. Pugmire, ore of the delegates
was recent polygamist. This be
came the subject of heated ant
