Congressman Burton L. French was
United States Senator w. B. Hey
burn saved from a singing rebuke at
the hands of the delegates attend
ing the Latach county republican
convention yesterday afternoon for
attitude against direct primary law.
which was enthusiastically Endorsed
by the convention.
After the committee on resolu-
tons had reported, L. X. Strong,
delegates from Moscow, offered the
following denunciatory resolutions,
which was received with shouts of
approval and which would have been
passed had it not been for Congress
man French. who pleaded with the
convention to save the senior sena-
tor from Idaho from humiliation for
the sake of party harmony:
Denouncing Hepburn.
I'VE denounce Senator w. B. Hey
burn in his opposition to the cleo
tion of United States senators by
direct vote of the people. his denun-
citation of a direct primary election
law and his attitude toward curtail-
ment of the liquor traflc. He does
not represent the people of Latah
county, nor, as we believe, the peo-
pie of the state Of Idaho
upon these very important questions
He repudiates republican and demo-
cratic ideas that a public oficer is
a private servant. but says that you
may petition but must not instruct
me- He threw down the gauntlet
in his speech at the republican con-
vention at Boise and assumed the
role OF dictator We believe that the
republican party should not be slow
in taking up the gauntlet and re-
pudiating him as he has repudiated
the principles Of the party. We.
therefore. instruct our nominees TO
the state legislature, II elected. to
use every honorable means TO pre-
vent the reelection Of Senator W.
B. Hepburn to misrepresent the
state OF Idaho In the United States
senate"
