SPIRITED CONTEST.

SPIRITED CONTEST.
With reports from rs Of the 3S
,recincts, representing 131 of the
1s4 delegates. the county organiza-
,,on claims "a of the delegates and
eynects to have more than 100 dele
oates when the county convention is
allied to order Thursday morning.
I'VE have made gains in every
section of the county" said G. w.
thompson, when discussing the con-
ditions today. "As in the past. We
list First and Second Lewiston, but
the returns from the Third and
rourth precincts show how little ef-
feet the reported Independent move
ment has really had upon the repub-
1ican voters Of Lewiston.
"The same condition prevails
throughout the county" continued
Mr.. Thompson, 'as the returns re-
ceived today show that We have lost
none of the old precincts but in
many instances have made material
gains For instance, the voters OF
Rimrock precinct have seen fit to
leave ]. l.. Goodnight at home and
similar decision was reached in
the Spalding precinct as to M. L.
Goldsmith.
"The Independent. move has been
analyzed by the republicans
throughout the county in just the
manner that l believed 1t would be,
and the voters were at NO time in
doubt but that the reported inde-
pendent movement was but the old
po.itical faction under q new cloak.
Il believe the coming convention
will be entirely harmonious" said
Mr.. Thompson, when asked relative
to the outlook for next Thursday
I'VE have stood for harmony all OF
the time and have not changed our
position. If the minority are willing
to 60 into the convention and par
ticipate in the affairs Of the meet
ing in manner fair and just to all
precincts, the meeting will be en-
tirely harmonious"
The leaders Of the independent
movement have mace no claims to-
day as to the complexion of the com.
ing convention, but have expressed a
hope that sufficient number of un.
Instructed delegations may be
brought together to secure control OF
the convention. The movement
claims to have but one issue !, al
stake and to have no candidate fol
Office
I'VE are perfectly satisfied with
the situation," said w. A. White
this morning. 1--WE made our fight
In the First and Second Lewiston
and won. We believe the movement
has pervaded the county to such an
extent that the efforts will be heard
from when the convention is called
to order"
