Republicans and the Democrats

A vote was then taken upon the adop-
ton of the report Of the committee,
which stood nine In favor and one
against in the roll call.

This gave the anti Elder forces con-
troll and the balance of the program
was put through with speed.

Through the ruling out of proxies,
north Idaho had very little representa-
ton in the Democratic state central
committee.
Henry Hall of Latah county made a
strong fight against the ruling out of
proxies, claiming it was done for a
purpose. and he made the men respon-
sible go on record by counties in the
minutes of the proceedings as he an
nounced he wished to establish pre-
cedent which must be followed in the
future.
ID. l.. Evans of Malad. stated that
while he did not favor proxies held by
residents of counties, and he felt
such a rule should be adhered to in
the future, he did not think it just to
rule out proxies of at least one-fourth
of the counties without giving them no
tice He did not think it was demo-
cratic.
T. E. Buckner of Caldwell declared
that Democracy meant representation.
and that If the charge was made that
the ruling out of proxies was done for
a purpose, it could also be charged that
the wiring for proxies by the gentle
men from Ada was also done for pur-
pose. He called attention to the fact
THAT one man from Ada held six.
The Democratic state committee
meeting goes down on record as being
the first at which neither Fred Floed
nor Frank Kinyon made a speech.
Despite the factions. everybody pres
ent cheered and applauded when the
name OF Woodrow Wilson was men
toned.
L. NJ. Caps of Blackfoot made a
good chairman ara it is conceded that
he was fair in i1s7 rulings and there
were no gag rule methods applied
With all the fireworks 1t was an in
teresting committee meeting and came
near being a tie vote on the proxy
question.
Senator Macbeth and r. II. Stevenson
evidently had the whole program map

seconded every motion made after the

Through the ruling out of all proxies
held by non residents of the counties
from which they were given, the anti
Elder forces by the narrow margin of
one vote last night gained control of
the Democratic state central committee,
elected DR.. w. r. Hamilton of Weiser
chairman and put through their entire
program, although their plan was OPP
posed by the friends OF Elder and Pence
to the last ditch. The committee was
called to order at $3.50 o'clock by j. II.
Pence, chairman of the committee for
the last two years. Mr.. Pence gave a
brief outline of the work for the COM
mittee to do, made a few compliment
airy remarks concerning President Will
son and the administration and asked
for the election of a temporary chair
man.
Senator Macbeth nominated L. NJ.
Capps Of Blackfoot as temporary chair =
man and his nomination was seconded
by r. H. Stevenson of Wallace and he
was elected by unanimous vote. T.
f. Buckner, also an anti-Elde man
from Canyon county, was chosen secre-
tary.
sHREWD MOVE MADE.
shrewd move was then made by
the anti Elder forces, which was to the
effect that all regularly elected dele
gates present act as the committee on
credentials, there being IS present, and
of that number they figured they had
the majority of two. Sixteen proxies
were presented and three of the coun-
ties were not represented, ]. T. Pence
held six proxies and his friends held
the others, most of which were from
the northern counties, not represented
in person.
After a long fight in the committee,
which resulted in much talk, a sub
committee of five was appointed to pass
upon the credentials of delegates. Mr..
Caps appointed on this committee, AL
bert Ploeger as chairman, William
Taylor, Colonel Woodall, g. NJ. Mix and
D.L. Evans. Mr.. Evans made a strong
stand against the ruling out of the
proxies, but was outnumbered, and in
passing upon the credentials the name
of Morris from Power county was
dropped as he failed to brin; his Gre
dentials and only gave his word that
me was a regularly elected delegate
This gave the anti Elder forces con :
troll, but just as the committee was
about to report, a telegram was re-
ceived from the chairman of the Power
county central committee announcing
that Morris was the regularly elected
and after some talk he was admitted

The forecast in the Capital News
was correct. Evan Evans Of Grange
Vile was reelected chairman of the
Republican state central committee at
its meeting late yesterday afternoon
and today took active charge Of the
general election campaign, opening
headquarters in the Idaho building
from which candidates and speakers
will be given their itineraries, ltera-
ture will go forth to electors and there
will be general activity on behalf of
the national, congressional and state
tickets. w. C. Gregory OF American
Falls was elected secretary of the COM
mittee and C. A. Elmer publicity sec
rotary. The former will have direct
charge of much Of the campaign man
agement and the latter, a we'll known
newspaper man. will see that the press
is provided with articles Regarding the
progress of the campaign.
In the nomination of presidential
electors they were named along geo
graphical lines as follows: D. w.
Church, Pocatello; w. H. Estabrook,
Idaho City; f. A. Walters, Twin Falls,
and Ignatz We'll of Standpoint. These
four men are representative Republi-
cans and we'll known in party circles.
Their names will head the Republican
ballot this fall and votes for them will
mean votes for Justice Hughes for
president of the United States.
CAMPAIGN TO OPEN
Tho committee went through its
designated work easily and without
friction. A temporary organization was
pf1e
chairman and C. A. Elmer temporary
secretary. After recess which carried
the committee into late in the after
noon to complete its work. a perma-
nent organization was perfected with
! Chairman Evans and Secretary Greg
DRY presiding. The nomination of
presidential electors was cleared away
and the committee In executive session
discussed the plans for the campaign.
It was decided to establish a speakers
bureau Immediately and to have a
number of speakers on the stump in
all parts of the state. d. w. Davis, Re
| publican gubernatorial candidate, will
bear the brunt of the speaking cam
paign and is prepared to take the
| stump at any time and any place.
From now on until Nov. Z. he will be
! actively engaged with this work.
| The state organization also expects
to work in harmony with every county

campaign in the various counties. BY
this cooperative method a thorough
organization can be perfected and it is
believed by committeeman will do much
to bring a victory to the party next fall.
What little opposition there was to
State Chairman Evans died out as the
time approached for the meeting of the
committee and failed to exist after the
committee met. There were no other
names suggested and his election was
unanimous. There were 20 of the 81
counties represented either by commit
teemen or proxy when the committee
convened and among the committeeman
were numbered some of the most rep
resentative men in the party.

quenchers while party leaders milled
about the Owyhee lobby 1t looked like

Everybody looked happy except the

atmosphere of optimism.

Burden on Arizona Com
panies Paying High.

Phoenix, Ariz., July ia chriek of
protest is going up from every mining
camp of Arizona over the new war
tax on copper. Nine representatives.
Including congressman Hayden Of Ari-
zcna, voted for Hayden's amendment
eliminating copper from the provisions
of the tax bill and then the main meas
ure passed the house by 100 majority.
Every effort will be made to de-
feat the tax in the senate, wherein
senators Smith and Ashurst are re-
ported to have pledged their votes in
opposition.

1t would be a stable tax on the
industry in Arizona. probably ranging
somewhere less than S5,0000O0 in 1916.
According to estimates OF production

Ray, Ariz., July 19-Plans are about

TOM REEDS 70
STAMPS At WORK
Phenomenal Gold Producer
Will Turn Out 100000
in Bullion Monthly.

Oatman, ARK, July 19.-Good news
| for the camp is that the Tom Reed

for the first time since last October.
1t has been an open secret that the
mine was getting a bit low in ore re-
serves and that vigorous exploration
work within the Reed proper and on
adjoining ground owned by the com
pany had failed to help matters very
much. So the ore bodies on hand were
nursed and dividends were cut and
there were some who predicted that an
end was in sight of what had been the
most phenomenal gold producer ever
known in Arizona.
But the prophets Of i'll omen have
been discredited. for development work
lately has run into new ore chambers
on the main ground and in the Grey
and Black Eagle claims. on the hillside
above The company is in good shape
financially. with $780, 900 in the treas
ury and now with all prospects that IL
will turn out not less than 100000 in
bullion monthly.

Work is being hustled on the United
Eastern mill which is 10 be in oper-
ton by next November. on ore blocked
out already worth millions OF dollars.
Some of it averages into hundreds OF
simple character as in the nearby Tom
Reed, needing little more than fine
crushing and cyaniding to secure its
riches. 1t is even probable that the
mine next winter will rank as the
greatest gold producer of the nation.
The mill is being placed on the hill
side back of the main shaft, where a
convenient location also has good tall
