Is Not in Favor Of Beaureau-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-In an in
terview published in Washington pa
per today Fred Gooding says;
IF the wishes of the people of Idaho
are consulted, the state will not send an
instructed delegation to the Chicago
convention. There is an effort being
made by politicians to send an instruct
9l delegation 10 the convention, hut the
people are not with the politicians. The
voters believe there has been too much
bureaucracy in this administration,
which has been largely instrumental in
bringing about condition OF unrest and
discomfort. The entire west is in the
sa ne fix and although there has been an
effort among eastern politicians to ere
ate the belief that the west is solidIy in
favor of the administration and it's poll.
cies. il is not fact.
"There is no physical reason for the
disturbed condition Of business of the
country. II the east believes the wesi
will be stalnpedei for Roosevelt or any
other candidate, it is easily mistaken.
''There will be no wild hurrah for an,
=. man and if our people can WELD th'
balance of power in The convention i
will select strong, safe, conservative
man as the standard bearer of the re
publican party in the next national cam

Interesting Discovery.

Captain Corfield discovered a grave
while exploring near his farm the first
OF the week, which probably few are liv-
ing, and perhaps none, who remember
vas marked by slab, on which were
chiseled the words, "H. w. S., August
22nd, 1852" and underneath were three
links, Indicating that an Odd Fellow
had been buried there.

We recommend to the voters at Dem
ocratic primaries the selection of dele
gates to the several conventions who

Second We congratulate the Democ-
racy OF the state on che position it. has
taken in insisting that the constitution
OF the state shall be lived up to by all
the people of the state.
Whereas, an investigation of the re-
turns from the last two elections demon
strates beyond question that the sen
timen, against polygamy and Mormon
control in politics and government is
growing and that the Gentle population
of the state is becoming more and more
conscious Of the danger confronting it;
therefore be it
Resolved, that it is the sense of this
committee that the constitutional quail
ification for voters as contained in the
last state platform of the Democracy of
Idaho be incorporated into and made a
part of its next state platform.
Resolved further, that the American
parties, wherever they are fully orga-
nized in any OF the counties of Idaho,
are hereby invited to hold primaries and
send delegates to the democratic state
conventions.
