ARE OFF FOR BOISE
To Bring Republican State COnven-
ton 70 Occur d'Alene.

AZ DFAhA ANcRuDAhCAn 0NAtC OOuNch-
ton 20 Occur d'Alene.
The committee appointed by the
Commercial Club to solicit funds to
send a delegation to Boise to appear
before the republican state central
committee on Feb. 10 for the pur-
pose of prevailing upon them to
select Occur d'Alene as the next place
for holding the republican state con-
vention, completed their labors yes
terday afternoon. They succeeded
in collecting in all $3.50, and the
money was turned over to the mem
bers of the committee, who departed
last evening for Boise. The soliciting
committee are exceedingly grateful
to all those subscribing and say that
from all they met with a hearty
support.
The members of the committee
left in high hopes, and feel satisfied
that they will be able to secure the
convention for this city, because 1t
is due to come north and because 1t
will be to the advantage of Brady,
the chairman, who is a candidate
for the governorship. Like the con-
vention held at Moscow, 1t will give
him an opportunity of having about
"a hours to labor and deal with the
different delegates while enroute to
the place of their convention. Wal
lace is in the race and will no doubt
use every possible effort to obtain
the convention, but the committee
do not look upon Wallace as a hard
opponent, because 1t is understood
that Barney O'Neil is a candidate for
the governorship, and 1t would not
be to the advantage of Brady to
have the convention held in his home
city. Wallace is also looked upon
as weak because of it's geograph-
ical situation. Occur d'Alene Is
more centrally located and is in a
position to better care and provide
for the convention in every possible
way.
The members of the committee
who left last night for Boise are:
A. v. Chamberlin, state central
committeeman: C. ]. Shoemaker,
county chairman; Joseph Fallon,
Rudolph Miles and A. A. Crane.
