crimes, such as fornication de-
nounced in like manner.
A heated discussion continued for
some time, during which Chairman
Jackson and Henry Dalrymple came
very nearly having physical en-
counter.
Finally a vote was taken on a
motion to unseat Dalrymple and
Hart and carried by IL to 8. Later
on the motion was reconsidered and
the exclusionists were defeated by a
vote of 10 to 8. This resulted in
the committee making majority
and minority report to the con-
vention.
The contest on the floor of the
convention was spirited and sen
satlonal one, but when the question
came to a vote Bear Lakes two
delegates were kicked out by large
majority-not bebause their creden
tials were irregular, for that point
was never raised, but simply because
they were Mormons and had refused
20 dance to the crack of the Dubois
whip Two years ago.
The report of the credential COM
mittee having been disposed of the
work of adopting the platform and
ratifying the Duboise slate was
quickly accomplished.
Ex-senator Heitfeld was elected
chairman and G. E. Arney secretary
Of the convention.
The platform endorses Bryan for
the democratic presidential nomina-
tion in 1908; commends the record
Of Dubois in the Senate; favors the
appropriation of money by Il e
legislature to assist in defraying the
expenses of the irrigation congress
at Boise; denounces the present
state Administrations; favors a revl-
sion of the present tariff; favors the
enactment of an employers liability
law and an eight hour law for men
employed under ground and in ore
reduction works; favors the enact
ment of laws to summarily suppress
trusts; favors the enactment of a
primary election law; deplores the
assassination of former Governor
Steunenberg; favors law providing
for the separate election of judges
of supreme and district courts.
The anti-Mormon plank is as fol-
lows:
I'VE demand the extirpation of poly
gamy and unlawful cchabitation In the
state of Idaho, and the complete separ-
alton of church and state in political
affairs; and we pledge ourselves to en-.
