That the Noble interests of Boise are

receives a measure of plausibility on
account of a visit to the tract Monday

CHICAGO, June S.-The adoption of
a plank favoring woman suffrage by
vote of 26 to 21, by the platform COM
mittee, the announcement of the fol-
lowers of Colonel Roosevelt that their
leader would decline to come to Chi
cago to attend the convention, were
the two most important developments
in the political situation here today.
The battle for the women's suffrage
plank is not necessarily won, however,
as the unexpected result in Iowa has
made many of the delegates skeptical
about the wisdom of Incorporating it
into the national platform. On the
other hand on account of the firm
stand maintained by most Progressives
on this question those who hope to
bring about a union between the par
ties, are urging the placing of the
plank in the platform, in the hope that
they will thus eliminate point of diff
ference between the two. There are
large number of delegates in the con-
vention that are favorable to women's
suffrage, but desire to have it come
through the Independent action of the
states, and the suffragists hope to
bring these over to their way of
thinking, in which case they believe
that the plank will go into the Demo-
cratic platform and as the Progress
sives, Prohibitionists and both Social
ist parties are in favor of woman suf-
frage, this would make it unanimous.
The platform committe will report at
o'clock
The declaration that Colonel Roose-
welt will not come to the convention
proved a great disappointment to that
element in the Republican convention
who believed that his presence would
result in an agreement Yesterday
Former Senator Jackson of Maryland,
telegraphed to the Rough Rider and
asked him to come to Chicago. No di-
rect reply was received to this tele-
gram. Senator Borah had a talk with
Roosevelt yesterday over the long dis
tance telephone and later announced
that, while he would not make public
any of the conversation, he felt better
satisfied over conditions and added
that he thought that the Republican
convention should proceed with it's
work There are numerous rumors
circulating in regard to the wishes of
Colonel Roosevelt, one being to the
effect that Senator Lodge would be
satisfactory to him.
Senator Borah received a great ova-
tion this morning when he arose to
speak in response to calls from the
convention He was preceded by
Former Senator Chauncey M. Depew
of New York, who was also greeted
with enthusiasm and was followed by
Uncle Joe Cannon, who was called to

aid
l am also informed that, during this
month, representatives of the Chicago
Herald moving picture department will
be in Idaho for the purpose of max
ing a series of motion pictures, which
will be distributed through their SER
vice, reaching 1000 towns in the cen

As the Union Pacific system lines,
and the Chicago Herald, will put forth
strenuous efforts, during the month of
July, especially, to advertise and to
promote Idaho from the agricultural,
horticultural, industrial and tourist
standpoints, we believe that the var
ious interests of your state will do
all that they consistently can to aid
in putting before the people of the
United States, facts and figures cover
ing the opportunities and resources of
their great state, by means of this
newspaper publicity as well as by
means of the motion pictures
VIII you kindly place this matter be-
fore the members of your commercial
club, promptly, so that, when the Chi
cago Herald's representative calls up
on you, they may, at least, have some
information on the subject, and be
/ prepared to receive from him further
details regarding it.
Yours very truly,

the platform by the long continued
shouts of the delegates
So far the convention has proceeded
without a hitch, though with but little
of the enthusiasm displayed in the
Progressive convention yesterday,
when the Progressives broke the rec
ord by cheering for an hour and SO
minutes at the mention of the name of
Roosevelt. When Chairman Harding
called the convention to order again
to-day after its adjournment, he took
occasion to gracefully thank the COM
mittees in Chicago who had charge of
the arrangements for the satisfactory
manner in which they had performed
their duties
Senator Smoot in behalf of the COM
mittee on credentials then moved that
the roll call as read at the opening of
the convention be adopted as the mem
bership of the convention. This was
adopted without opposition Later he
moved the adoption of a supplemental
report admitting two delegates each
from Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Phil
ippines. This was accepted as part Of
the main report without question.
Charles Warren, of Michigan, as
chairman of the committee on rules
and order of business, then reported
in behalf of that committee and its
recommendations were adopted with
out amendment
The Republican national convention
assembled in the Coliseum Wednes-
I day, heard keynote speech delivered
by Senator Warren G. Harding of
Ohio, perfected an organization and
adjourned until II o'clock Thursday
morning.
Senator Harding seldom referred to
his manuscript. His full voice carried
to the farthest ends of the Coliseum.
Taking up national defense, Sena-
tor Harding brought applause when
he said the Republicans believe sin
cerely and soberly in adequate nation
al defense.
Senator Harding touched upon the
Mexican situation extensively, to the
apparent approval of the convention,
as he scored the Democratic admins
tration policy step by step. There was
a wave of laughter as he declared the
administration had first coddled Viii
Ia"
I'VE ought to have a navy that fears
none in the world" he said This
brought out most enthusiastic APP
plause. There was another roaring
demonstration when he declared that
Republican policies promised all the
means for the expansion of defense
He scored the Democratic admins
tration for ineffeciency, incapacity and
extravaganza and declared the Repub-
lican party's allegiance to protective
tariff and national defense"
He closed with preoratiOn on Am
ericanism and Republicanism which
was marked with applause lasting
less than a minute.
Surface indications, steadily streng-
thened by the apparent spread of SEN
timent favorable to Hughes indicate
his nomination unless the openly hos
tile Progressive leaders and the com
bination of supporters of "favoritt
sons" and stubborn bosses in the re-
gular convention succeed in heading
him off.

CHICAGO, June S-The plat
form of the Republican party
as reported to the convention by
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
committee on resolutions this af-
ternoon, called for peace and
absolute neutrality, with a world
court of arbitration; denounced
the Mexican policy of the ad-
ministratiOn, called for adequate
national defense;a reserve army
and a powerful navy; a reason
able protective tariff; and tar
iff commission; strict regulation
of big business without persecu-
ton; rural credits; mail sub
sidy to build a merchant ma
rine; exclusive federal control
of transportation; conservation
of natural resources; federal
child labor legislation; legisla-
ton and suffrage for women.
The suffrage plank was greeted
with applause, and when this
was finished, Senator Lodge fin
ished the plank with the fol-
lowing words: Recognizing
right Of each to settle the ques-
tion for ITSELF" which indicated
the suffrage plank had under
gone some change in committee
after it had been tentatively
adopted as a straight demand
for woman suffrage earlier in
the day. The amending clause
was greeted with loud derisive
laughter and cheering. The men
tion of the name of Theodore
Roosevelt during the reading of
the platform causes cheering
and applause which interrupted
Senator Lodge for several min
utes.

COUNTY AGENT BIRCH
TALKS ON TUBFR MOTH
Accompanied Deputy Brannon as Spec
tator During Investigation of Its
Presence

County Agent w N. Birch, who ac-
companied Deputy State Horticulture
Inspector Brannon in the search for
potato tuber moth as a spectator, is
intensely interested in keeping this
pest out of Idaho. Speaking of the
matter he said "This is a serious
pest, which as yet has not gained a
foothold in Idaho. We should direct
our efforts toward keeping it out, on
the principle that it is easier to keep
water out of basement than it is to
put it out. l have seen this pest in
California damage fine crops of pota-
toes so seriously that they were not
dug. In parts of California it is diff
ficult for farmer to raise even
enough potatoes for his own use
think no one who has had experience
with it would deliberately import po-
tatoes from territory which harbors
this pest. It's introduction into Idaho
means not only that Idaho will have
another difficulty to combat in grow
ing potatoes: it also means that there
will be no market for Idaho potatoes
outside of Idaho, and this of course,
means the death of the potato grow
ing industry in the crop"
