Alexander Raped and Delegates
Instructed for BOrah

Delegates elected at the republic
an county convention yesterday are
making preparation to depart for the
southern metropolis, Twin Falls, next
Monday and it is expected that prac-
tically every member of the delega-
tion will attend the republican state
convention where delegates to the Chi
cago convention will be named While
the county convention yesterday did
not indicate in resolutions that it was
the desire to see a Latah county man
placed on the delegation to the ma
tional convention, it was learned that
the name of former Congressman Bur-
ton L. French. would be submitted as
a delegate at large.
The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention yesterday are voluminous and
severely rap the democratic state ad
ministration, calling on the voters to
rid the state of the present governor
and place in power republican. The
convention was unanimous in it's en-
dorsement of Burton L. French for
congress and most pronounced in it's
instructions for Senator W. E. Borah
for the presidential nomination. The
resolutions follow:
"The Republican Party Of Latah
County congratulates the state of Ida
no upon the public service of our most
distinguished son, Hon. VIM. E. Borah.
Senator Borah is a stateman of the
highest type. He is the peer in abil
ity, learning, and craftsmanship of
any of our public men; while his at
titude upon public questions COM
mends itself to the approval of the
masses of the republican party. He
= is the logical man for our party to
nominate for the presidency. With him
as our standard bearer, our party will |
meet with triumph, our nation will |
return to an era Of permanent pros
perity.
THE delegates from Latah county |
to the republican state convention are
instructed to vote for delegates to |
the Chicago convention who will be
instructed to use all honorable means
to bring about the nomination of Sen
ator Borah for president of the Uni
ted States
