PRIMARY PLAN
BE CONSIDERED
STATE 0RGANIZA-
. TION MAY ADOPT PROGRESSIVE
TENDENCIES
Statewide Primaries Would be a Mas
ter StrOke-HarmOny Prevails
Among the Party Leaders

That the republican state central
committee, which convenes at Boise
tomorrow, will consider the feasibility
of holding a statewide primary for the
selection of delegates to the republic
an state convention, where delegates
to the national convention will be Sc
lected, was the talk among republic
an party leaders in the state during
the past few days, according to word
reaching Moscow today. 1t is as
serted that the action of the demo-
cratic state committee in sitting the
plan for holding statewide primaries
has weakened the leaders in the dem
ocratic organization and may affect
the success of the entire democratic
state ticket, and that it would be a
master stroke on the part of the re-
publican organization to adopt the
primary method of selecting it's del
egates.
Republican leaders from all parts of
the state are rallying to the party
organization and no step will be ta
ken that may tend to disrupt it. The
only question that may arise aside
from the primary plan will be over
the apportionment of representation in
the state convention.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the committee will select Twin
Falls as the place for holding the con-
vention and that April goth as selected
at the informal meeting of the COM
mittee on February 70, will be left
The objection to the. representation
in the convention by six delegates for
each member of the legislature is
based on the fact that republican
counties would not have their just
of delegates in compari-
son with counties which are demo-
cratic. 1t is also urged that the rep
resentation should be larger in order
to permit the rank and file of the par
ty to take part in the convention and
thus accommodate larger number of
who wish to participate.
While the issues are not pronounc-
ed, it is believed that the meeting to-
morrow will not be largely attended.
w. e. Lee, state committeeman for
Latah county did not leave for Boise
10 attend the meeting.

ENLIST EXPERT TO
FIGHT SQUIRRELS
SPECIALIST FROM GOVERNMENT
BIOLOGICAL SURVEY is
HERE
VIII Try Out Methods Used Elsewhere
And Instruct Farmers on
One

| A campaign for the destruction oi
ground squirrels is to be started To-
cally with the cooperation of c. NJ
Yerrington of the government biologic-
al survey, who arrived here yesterday
and will devote about two weeks to
the work.
Arrangements have been made to
give Mr.. Yerrington an opportunity to
identify the local pest, and to try out
a number of poison formulas that
have proved successful elsewhere. On
Tuesday he will speak at the Cham
Der of Commerce, and it is hoped that
there will be a record attendance of
farmers, as Mr.. Yerrington seeks
their cooperation.
Speaking of the squirrel pest, Mr..
Warrington said that there are num-
ber Of closely allied species, and that
OF some species there are so-called
geographical families. 1t has been
found that poison formula that has
been successful with one family fails
with another, or with the same fam
lily in a different locality.
1t has been possible to destroy SO
per cent of the Richardson ground
squirrels in some of the northern
states of the middle west. The Piute
squirrel, found commonly in south
Idaho, is more difficult to bait. and the
Columbian squirrel is hardest of all to
eradicate, but it is possible to con-
troll it.
When he has determined the means
most successful here. Mr.. Yerrington
will Instruct all who care to come to a
demonstration in the preparation OF
the poison and will give to visitors
samples of the poison for use in ex-
periments on their own places.
With the increase in acreage devoted
to the growing of grasses the squir-
rel pest is becoming more serious in
this territory, and has even been
looked upon as a serious obstacle to
the development of hay growing as
the increased expense of fighting the

IDAHO DEMOCRATS

IN REPUDIATING A PLANK in IT'S
NATIONAL PLATFORM PARTY
HELD UP TO RIDICULE
Latah County Man Made Clean Cut
Fight For Principle -"Hand-Pick-
ed" Delegates Now in Order

The democratic organization in Ida
ho seems bent on splitting itself wide
open, and once more through its vacil-
lating policies throw the state into the
republican column. Such is the COM
ment that is heard among democrats
who have observed the proceedings of
the democratic state committee meet
ing at Boise last Monday.
An open fight was made by State
Senator Jerome ]. Day of Latah coun-
ty for a statewide primary for the
selection of delegates to the state
convention, and he advocated the Sc
lection of delegates to the state con-
vention, and he advocated the selec-
ton of national DOM
mitteeman atthe primaries, announc-
ing himself as a candidate on that
plan. At the meeting, through the
eral and state office holders, in which
proxies played an important part, the
primary plan was turned down by a
vote of 10 to % The statement was
made by John F. Nugent, the leader
of the Nugent-Elder organization, that
with primaries Senator Day was as
sured of election. This was given as
the reason for turning down the man
dates Of the Baltimore platform which
directed primaries in the selection of
national committeeman.
Pocatello was selected as the place
for holding the state convention and
May IS the date for the convention.
While no word has been forthcoming
from Senator Day as yet, it is believ-
ed that he will refuse to enter the cam
paign for the position under the pres
ent plan which provides for Hand
