WALLACE WINS
Gets One State Convention While Boise
Gets the Big One.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 10.-Boise
won over Twin Falls on the fifth
ballot for the nominating conven-
ton of the republican party at the
state central committee meeting
this afternoon, and Wallace won
the delegates convention from
Occur d'Alene.
The first convention will be held
at Wallace on May IL to select six
delegates to attend the Chicago
convention, and the second conven-
ton will meet in Boise, September
/, to nominate candidates for state
offices.
Wallace won easily over Occur
d'Alene. The fight for the second
convention was harder fought
one, five ballots being required,
when Boise won by a vote of II to
II over Twin Falls. The deciding
ballot agains Twin Falls was cast
bv C. ]. Munson of Latah county,
special representative of Congress
man French. The attendance at
the committee meeting was large, a
great number of politicians and
interested persons being present,
aside from the members of the
committee.
A general discussion ensued rela.
tive to the place for holding the
two conventions. 1t was finally
agreed that the first convention
should meet at some point in the
northern part OF the state on May
IL, and the second convention
should be held in the southern par
of the state on September 1. The
apportionment agreed upon wal
made upon motion of Hart of Free
mont, who moved that the appor
tionment be made on the average
vote cast for all the Offices at thu
+ last election, and that it be on
r vote for every 1873 votes cast anC
major fraction thereof. The actor
in this respect was unanimous.
The following table shows in tn
first column the counties, in tn
second column the vote that eacl
county had in the convention tw

e and the last column gives the az
portionment as it would have bee

JUST a GRAND STAND PLAY

there were number of fine politi-
cal plays made at the meeting, and
these facts are beginning to filter
down to the public.
Governor Cooling came forward
with a proposition to assess all
property at its full cash value, in
Guiding railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines. This was fair on
its face and moreover just what the
law requires. But here was where
the joker came in. The Governor
and those assessors that stood with
him wanted the state board Of
equalization to decide then and
there what the value of the rail-
road, telegraph and telephone
lines were and agree in advance tc
assess these companies at that rate
The other members of the state
board would not agree to this be
cause it conflicted with the law il
several particulars. In the frs
place if they felt sufficiently in
formed to place an immediate val
uation on the many railroads. tele
graph and telephone lines. ian,
! the Governor was the only one @
them who seemed to possess tina
exact information about which S

says that they shall fix that valua-
ton next August, and that after
the county assessments are turned
in, and then in proportion to the
valuation placed upon other prop
erty.
Those members of the state
board of valuation, which included
Attorney General Guheen, Secre-
tary of State Lansdon, and Audi
tor Bragaw, ana who took issue
with the Governor, pointed out
that while they had raised the val
uation of railroads at every session,
SO that main lines are now assess
ed at $13, 800 per mile, instead OF
$4,000 as assessed three years ago,
county assessors had been assess
ing property each year at the same
valuation. In fact valuations in
county assessments had had a
downward tendency if anything.
In some counties property had
been assessed as low as twenty per
cent. On twenty per cent basis
railroads at $13,500 per mile is
equal to valuation of $67 800 per
mile. These members of the board
thought that their past record was
sufficient to justify the assessors in
having confidence in them in
their following the law in the
future.
But there was an opportunity tc
make grand stand play, and il
was improved. Thoughtful people
are not careing much for grand
stand plays.

Efforts to Mix Political Dope at
Meeting of Assessors.

1t will be recalled that there was
a meeting of the assessors at Boise
few weeks ago. The assessors
were called together by State Audi
tor Bragaw to meet with the state
board of equalization. 1t was a
sort of a convention where the as
SCISSORS could exchange views and
talk over intricate points in rela-
ton to their extensive duties, and
also arrive at a better understand
ing as to valuations, so that each
county could be assessed in such a
way as to cause it to bear its equal
share of state taxation. The as
SCISSORS met, talked matters over,
agreed to assess property at 90 per
cent of its cash value, and came
home with much better ideas as to
their duties. These were the facts
as they appeared on the surface
There are always some inside facts
in relation to meetings of this ma
ture that usually prove to b
mighty interesting reading, and tn
meeting of the assessors was not al
exception. 1t now developes tina

Chairman Brady. in comment
ing on the meeting, is quoted as
saying:
at was from every standpoint
the best central committee meeting
of the kind ever held by the Re-
publicans of this state. Every
county was represented by a thor
oughly representative man; there
were a greater number of visitors
present than ever before, all prom
inent workers in the party; and
throughout all the deliberations Of
the committee the greatest har-
mony prevailed.
81 can not express my gratifica-
ton at the general success of the
meeting. We could not have had
more suspicious opening of the
campaign OF 1908, in our state
and | believe it filled everyone
present with the utmost confidence
in the success of the party at the
poles in November. There seem:
to be no sore spots anywhere anC
the annual cry raised by the Dem
ocrats that the Republican party
is disrupted has again been posi-
lively disproven"

represented Bonner county on tn

pointed committeeman by Chair

Chicago, Oct. S.--The second ses-
sion of the lakes-to-the-gulf deep
waterways association was attended
today by as great an enthusiastic an
audience as that which listened to
Taft on the opening day.
Bryan was the magnet OF the Sec
ond session, and his appearance on
the platform and introduction by
David r. Francis of St Louis was the
signal for a tumult that forced the
Democratic candidate to bow repeat
edly during many minutes before he
could begin his address,
Bryan declared his hearty sympa-
thy with the deep waterways move
ment and said he would do his ut
most to help improve the Mississippi
and every river that cmpties into 1t.
The railroads cannot rival the water
courses in cheapness, and he said the
water passage helped competition
with large capital; that where there
was a river every man who can
build a boat can engage in the trans
rortation business.
At the afternoon session Gihord
