Defeated but Not Discour-
aged Is the Slogan of
Party Leaders-Elmer to
Be in Charge.

A conference of Republican party
leaders was held last night at the
Owyhee hotel and it was announced
that hereafter headquarters would be
maintained in Boise from now on to
keep alive the organization work of
the party. Evan Evans, chairman of
the state committee, stated that so
FAR as he knew no definite decision
was reached but should one be in the
future that fact would be given to the
press for publication.
A week ago a meeting of party lead
ers was held at the Owyhe for the
purpose of discussing the political
situation. Definite action was post
poned until the conference yesterday.
Besides Chairman Evans there were
present D. w. Davis, recent candidate
for gubernatorial honors, c. A. Elmer
and other.
1t is realized by many men promin-
ent in the Republican party that in

WILSON TO ADDRESS
THE CONFERENCE ON
SOCIAL INSURANCE

Washington, Dec. 5.-Problems of So
cial insurance are to be threshed out
at a four-day conference which opened
in this city today, with headquarters
at the Raleigh hotel. The conference
takes the place of the ninth interna-
tional congress on social insurance,
which was to have been held here last
September, but had to be called off on
account of the war.
In view of the apparent impossible
ity of getting an international confer
ence for some years to come, the In
ternational Association of Industrial
Accident Boards and Commissions
called the present conference to con-
slider the problems facing the United
States and Canada along these lines
The subjects mapped out for consid-
GRAFTON by the conference include the
merits, defects and shortcomings in
Workmen's compensation laws, needed
amendments extending the scope and
adequacy of these laws, sickness insur-
ance, invalidity and old-age insurance.
pensions and retirement allowances,
mothers pensions and material bene-
tlts, unemployment insurance and other
matters relating to social insurance.
President Wilson has accepted an in
vitation to address the conference next
Friday Other prominent speakers at
the same session will include Secre-
tary of War Newton d. Baker, Secre-
tary of Labor William b. Wilson and
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor.

Former State Treasurer
Makes Formal Applica-
ton for Parole to the
Board, Now in Session. :.
TO BE CONSIDERED
IN REGULAR ORDER
First Time Name of Default
ing State Treasurer Has
Appeared in List of Appli-
cants-Not Asking for
Pardon.

The state board of parole went into
regular quarterly session at late
hour this afternoon for the purpose of
considering a number of applications
for parole that have been pending from
inmates of the penitentiary The board
is composed of the governor, attorney
general and secretary of state. Secre-
tary of State Barker is still in north
ern Idaho and was not present at the
board meeting
The name of o. V. Allen, defaulting
state treasurer, who confessed to the
embezzlement of $4,000 state funds
while in charge of the treasury depart
ment, appears on the list of 30 appli-
cants for parole: The board will there
fore consider his name when it IS
reached in the regular order.
FIRST APPLICATION.
Since his incarceration this is the
hrst time that the defaulting treasu-
rer's name has been linked with the
parole or pardon board. He has never
made an application for pardon
Fred Coleman, his former deputy, IN
the other hand, has made three april
cations for pardon, and has a fourth
now that is being legally published for
consideration when the new board of
pardons meets.
NO ACTION EXPECTED.
1t is not considered likely at the state
house that the board will take any ac-
ton favorable toward Allen, due to the
fact that but two of the members are
here and in attendance at the boards
meeting. Both members of the board
who are here would have to be unani-
nous in support of leniency for Allen
and this is not likely, it is said. The
governor has been open in his opposi-
ton to the application of Coleman and |
it is understood takes the same atti-
tude regarding a parole for Allen.
Since his Imprisonment Allen has
been employed O.; farm and other work |
He also worked for some time as ian
itor SO far as is known complaint
against his conouct has never been
made by prison officials
