1t was a great meeting the whole
Democracy OF Idaho held in Caldwell
last week There were AZ men pres
ent counting the troupe. Jake Horn
and c. W. Cooper 1t is a good thing
to travel in punches. You are thus
always guaranteed a willing audi
ence. 1t is also good idea to serve
refreshments. Quite frequently you
thus catch a few stragglers to whom
sandwiches appeal when pure and I'M
deflled Democracy fails. Among the
AZ who were present were P. Munroe
Smock, Carl Davis, J. T. Pence, J. l..
