lower Boise valley country. Hel

the duty of taking part in the coming
primaries, that that had been i'm
posed upon them by their representa-
tives in the legislature and that they
should exercise the privileges of the
primary to put worthy, competent
men into office. Every voter should
attend and take part and each voter,
through his party, should strive to
place the best men in nomination.

remarks by Judge Bryan. All the
speakers, including President Lowell,
made splendid impressions, and added
laurels to their oratOrical fame.
