Boise, March 3.-At the meeting of
the democratic state central COM
mittee In this city last week 1t was
decided to hold the first state con-
vention at Twin Falls, June and
the second one at Wallace. August
4th. Delegates to the national con-
vention at Denver will be chosen at
the first convention and at the second
full state ticket will be put In the
field. There was strong contes.
over the matter of holding the con-
ventions with Nampa, Weiser, Boise,
Lewiston and Wallace.
Strong resolutions we're carried en-
dorslng the candidacy OF Bryan aud
re-affirming the allegiance to the
principles OF the last democratic plat
form In this state in regard to the
Mormon question. or course there
was some opposition by few who
wished to see this question dropped,
but they were so hopelessly In the
minority that their opposition did
not cut much figure. II Is supposed
that this minority will carry the light
in the state convention, but their
contention will be ignored by the
delegates to those conventions is a
self-evident fact.
There was some contention In tile
committee over the appointment OF
some OF the county committeeman,
due to designations or death. In the
case Of Canyon county Chairman
Lockhart made an appointrn ,nt Ia
till vacancy for which proxy was
held by another man. After discuss.
ing the case pro and con the conten.
tions of the state chairman were sus.
tanned. This was all the busin.ss
transacted at the forenoon meeting
which was adjourned to meet in the
afternoon at O'Clock.
Upon convening at O'Clock resolu.
tions Of coincidence were read and ap
proved on the death of the two com
mitteemen, and they were ordered
spread upon the minutes. 1t vas
then decided that the delegate con
vention be held In the south ane
the nominating convention be held
in the north part OF the state. In
the contention Twin Falls won out
by a substantial majority. Wallact
and Lewiston were the only two
towns In the north which were as
pirants for the nominating conveu
tion. The former won out by yot,
| of 26 to l2.
Upon a motion by Senator Dubois
| a committee OF three were appointet
by the chair to make the apportion
ment Of delegates, the epportieDmen
to be based ON the vote for goyerno
in the last election allowing one dele
gate for each 100 votes cast, and al
additional delegate for a major por
tlon of that number. Then com
mittee of four we're appointed u
draft resolutions. The following reso
lutions were presented and carried;
We, the democratic State Centra
committee OF the state OF Idaho, reg
ulaIly assembled, adopt the following
resolutions:
First. We endorse the Hon. VII
liam j. Bryan for the position O
president of the United States. Hi
consistent attitude on all publ
questions affecting the interests c
the people has gained for him tb
con tidence of those who are striyin
for high ideals and civic righteous
ness. 1t Is matter OF more tba
party pride that through bis teach
ings he has developed the best sent
ment to be found within self-gos
erning people. Although he has nc
vet won a victory for himself or hI
party, bis philosophy has reformed
nation and compelled an opposin
and domioating political party I
adopt his policy.
We recommend TO the voters q
democratic primaries the selection {
delegates to the several convention
who will advocate the candidacy ,
Mr.. Bryan and the adoption Of tl
suggestions contained in the follow
log preamble and resolution:
