Ing yesterday it was decided to selec

this met with general approval.

veyor
Those absent were Moses Wright,
Good, nominee for county attorney.
Good, nominee for eouny attorney.
Mr.. Good has been very ill for some
time, and sent a proxy in R. w. Ka-
terdahl.
This proxy evoked considerable
discussion and the sentiment was
about half on the proposition of it's
acceptance, some holding that there
was no legal right to recognize any
such proxy. Othes held, however,
that courtesy could be shown Mr..
Good and that no harm could be done
with the proxy, SO that it was eventu-
ally permitted to stand by unanimous
consent.
Cheney st. Clair was made chair
man ofthe meeting, and Joseph More-
ly secretary. In calling the session
to order Mr., St. Clair addressed the
in plea for perfect har-
mony in organization and operation,
for the general good of the party, and
believed that good ticket was nam
I'd inevery way, and that it would sue
'eed, and he asked every candidate to
10 the best possible to further the
interests of the ticket.
1t was suggested that Chairman
Otto e. McCutcheon of the old COM
nittee be invited to come into the
Meeting and assist in the work of re-
organization, and committee COM
'osed of thee was appointed to escort
Ar. McCutcheon to the hall, and re-
urned with him in few minutes.
1t having been voted that the coun-
y central committee consist of one
aember from each precinct, it devel-
ped that there was difference of
pinion in some of the precincts, not
bly, those of Blackfoot, and an adj
ournment was taken for half an hour
. permit the candidates from thatI
Ity to get together on choice. This
aving been accomplished TO general
abstraction, the new county central ,
was then chosen of the fol- !
wing members. II
