The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-09-05

The Idaho republican state conven-
ton will pass into history as having
been one of the most harmonious
meetings ever held of it's kind in the
state. The convention was held at
Riverside park in Boise, and it is GER
tainly an ideal place for convention.
While the call had stated the hour of
assembling would be 10 a. M, yet it
was 11:15 before Vice-Chairman Heit-
man called the convention to order
and instructed the secretary to read
the call. Previously to the reading,
q. l.. Hoffman could not pass the OPP
portunity to let go of asspeech which
had been in his anatomy for fully two
years. While Mr.. Hoffman is not an
eloquent speaker, he is persistent, and
has the gift of continuation For fully
one-half hour he hurled chunks of re-
publican history at the audience, but
they never bolted until the speaker
finished, when one loud cheer broke
forth from the delegates.
Report Of Central Committee.
The chair then announced that the
state central committee had selected
Major Fred R. Reed as temporary
chairman, and c. c. Mcdonald for tenn
porary secretary. Major Reed evil
IDENTIFY has an eye for the future, for

vention in a good humor, when he
asked what was the pleasure of the
convention. John Hart moved that a

form, one on credentials and one on
order of business be appointed. The
