A bill was introduced in the senate
this week, seeking TO divide IDAHO

bill proposes to divide the state,
creating two districts BY drawing a
line from the southern portion OF

ty's northern boundary line and fol
lowing the southern boundary lines
Of Boise and Idaho counties 10 the
No &tana border. North OF this
diagonal line is to be one congres'
sional district; south of it is to bt
the other congressional district. Iht

vision have approximately the SAINT

Applying the primary only to the
election of county and district can
didates and to delegates to county
conventions, Senate bill No. rs, BY
the state affairs committee, was in
troduced in the senate on Wednes-
day, Feb. 8. The bill makes mater
ial changes in the present plan for
selecting candidates for the various
elective offices.
Each party is to hold its own cleo
tions, the expenses, which arc
brought to minimum, to be paid
by the county. An organization has
the right to the designation party
and to partake in the privileges OF
the primary election when it has
polled a vote equal to 10 per cent OF
the total vote cast for governor at
the last preceding election, provid-
ing it nominated at least five state
officers. Party organization is pre-
vided as now in state and county
committees.
Separate primary elections in each
party are provided to be held on the
last Tuesday in July, 1916, and every
two years thereafter. At these elec-
tions, candidates will be nominated
for the legislature, for the county
offices and delegates to the county
convention will be chosen. The mum.
Der of delegates from a precinct to
the county convention shall be deter.
mined by dividing the total number
of votes cast for all candidates Of the
party for all legislative and county
Offices at the last election by the
number of candidates allowing one
delegate for each 80 or major part
of this vote. 1t is provided that each
precinct shall have at least one dele
gate.
County conventions are provided
to be held on the second Tuesday il
August. At the county convention
will be selected the state central com
mitteeman and the precinct commit
teemen, nominate the precinct can
didates and adopt a county platform
if determined upon. The commit
tee may also nominate for offlc
where no candidate received 40 re
cent of the total vote for all candi
dates for the Office.
Delegates to the state conventio
are apportioned among the countie
by dividing the total number Of vote
for all candidates of that party fo
representative and all state offices b
the number of candidates voted fol
One delegate will be allowed for eac

SHORT BALLOT BILL
DEFEATED IN SENATE

Boise, Feb. 8.-Defeat of the short
ballot constitutional amendment late
today by the senate, and the decision
of the house of representatives to
recommend for passage a statewide
prohibition bill, effective January l.
1916, were the two main events of
today's session of the thirteenth Ida
no legislature. The prohibition
recommendation is looked upon as a
sweeping victory for the anti-liquor
interests. 1t defeats the coup at
tempted last week to press the local
option bill ahead of the statutory
amendment and means that a record
vote in the senate viii be forced.
The liquor forces are marshaling
their strength to prevent passage of
the statewide bill in the senate, for
Governor Alexander il waiting to
sign the measure, and no pressure
that can be brought to bear upon the
chief executive will change his deter
mination to carry out his pledge as
set forth in his message.
The prohibition enactment meas
ure came before the house in the
form Of house bill No. 142, fathered
by twenty members of the assembly.
