CONVENTION DATE SET
Republicans Will Assemble at
COlfax on May 9.
Primaries May 5--Apportionmen nj
Adopted Makes Convention
of 26O Delegates.

Pursuant to call, the Whitman County
Republican Central Committee met at
the council chamber in Colfax last Sat
urday, A. W. Perley, chairman, presid-
ing, w. j. Davenport, secretary, and
over 30 members present. The meeting
was held to select dates for primaries
and county convention, apportiOn the
precinct representation and arrange
necessary details. 1t will be the duty OF
the county convention to adopt party
platform and elect % delegates and the
same number of alternates to the state
convention to be held at Spokane, May
a.
Chairman Perley opened the meeting
with a speech in his usual alfeicitious vein,
followed by a general discussion which
ended in deciding to call the county con
vention for Saturday, May 8, at the
court house in Colfax, to meet at 1:3O
p m.
Representation in the convention was
fixed on the basis of one delegate at
large for each precinct. and one delegate
for each II votes or major fraction
thereof cast for Congressman Cushman
in the last election. This will make
convention of $50 delegates. A motion
adopted later limits the use of proxies,
the object being to encourage large
attendance at the convention. Under
this rule, if cOncurred in by the conven-
tion, delegates from city precincts may
vote not more than one proxy, and
country delegates are limited to two
proxies, the discrimination in favor OF
the later being made because OF the
greater difficulty they experience in at
tending conventions.
Primaries for the election of delegates
to the convention will be held Tuesday,
May 5, from l to p m. in country
precincts, and from to Z p. m. in city
precincts and wards. Caucusses in city
