PLANS ARE LAID
FOR CAMPAIGN BY
PARTY LEADERS
Republican State Executive
Committee in Session
Resignation of D. w.
Davis Received.

The executive committee OF the Re-
publican state central committee is in
session at the Owyhee hotel, consider
ing a number of questions with rela-
ton to the 1916 campaign. The COM
mittee will probably name the place
and date for the state convention to
elect delegates to the national Repub-
lican convention and determine the
manner in which these delegates shall
be elected.
The members Of this committee are
c. II. Potts of Occur dAlene, Fred
Gooding of Shoshone, E. II. Dewey of
Nampa and Miss Margaret Roberts of
Boise. The fifth member of the COM
mittee was d. w. Davis of American
Falls, but last night he placed his res
ignation In the hands of State Chair
man Evans as he does not wish to en-
barrass himself, nor does he want to
embarrass the committee by serving
on it while he is candidate for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination.
1t has been known for some time that
he was a candidate for governor and
in his campaign he wishes to have a
free hand in managing it. Mr.. Davis

my Dear Mr.. Evans Having de-

primaries in September next, resigned

mittee from Power county Jan. "a last,
which was accepted, and my successor

that you may appoint someone to fill

Mr.. Davis arrived in the city last
night. He stated when seen that he
was very well satisfied with the polit-
ical outlook and greatly gratified over
the assurances of support he had re-
ceived from all parts of the state, de-
livered in person and by letter.

trying to let the road block with snow,
and are making different excuses from
time to time to the commission and
the people that they cannot clear the
track Of snow. The people believe
that the road can be cleared in few
days If reasonable effort will be made.
You are trying now to justify the
conduct OF the railroad people by lay
ing the blame to the big storm that
has been raging during the last few
days in the northwest. 1t is true that
there has been a big storm lately, but
that does not justify the officials of
the railroad in allowing the road to
block about two weeks before this ter
rible storm came. 1t does not justify
you in failing to run the regular train
through to Lakeport on Jan. IA, 1915,
when the track was clear. The big
storm does not justify you for failing
to run the train through on Satur-
day, Jan. Is, 1916, when the track was
still clear, nor on Sunday, Jan. IS,
when you run the two cabooses
through to I.akeport without any trou-
BILE, but JAILED to carry any mail. pas.
sengers or freight. The big storm did
not justify your failure to run the
train through on Jan. 10, when you
could have come through without any
trouble. How can you justify this,
Mr.. Priest, when during all these times
the main line and the Idaho Northern
branch were both clear. Will you try
to justify 1t like Mr.. Whitney on the
witness stand before the public utili-
ties commission last winter, when he
said THE next storm 10 poipc IN he q
bad one
ION Jan. 81. 1916, you ran the train
through the canyon after night with
out any flange in front of the engine
and you beat schedule time. Up to
this time you had no excuse for not
running schedule trains. 1t did not
take the railroad company long to
clear the track to the Big Eddy when
they came after the rotary that was
sidetracked there, and the Big Eddy is
half way, or more from Banks to
Smiths Ferry.
1--WE have now had no outside mail
since Jan. 20, 1916. The people believe
that the railroad company is deliber-
ately allowing the road to block with
snow, so that they may close down for
the winter. The railroad company
wants the elements to do for them
what the commission would not do last
winter. This action OF the railroad
company is unjustifiable and we do
not believe they have made an hon
est effort to keep the track open and
the trains going.
Yours truly,

may be fortunate enough to arrive in

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
IN IDAHO BY FLOODS

The freeze last night, followed by
cooler temperature today than for some
time, has stopped the unusual flow of
water in the streams and canals in
southern Idaho and word today from
various sections was that most Of the
streams were back to their normal flow
again.
Indications are that the worst of the
flood is over and but little damage is
reported. With the receding of the
water city officials and ditch mana
gers are working to repair what little
damage was done and are maiSing ar
rangements to care for additional
water when another thaw comes.
