STATE COMMITTEE
WILL MEET SOON
DEMOCRATS WILL GATHER IN
BOISE TO DISCUSS THE COMING
NATIONAL CONVENTION
Call For the Meeting is to be Issued
Shortly by State Chairman
Pence

BOISE, Jan. 13.-(Specil Idaho
democrats through the state committee
will be called upon at an early date
to arrange for the selection of the
Istate's delegation to the national con-
yention, and for the selection of a
national committeeman from Idaho
1t is understood that the call for
the meeting of the committee will be
issued very shortly by State Chair
man Pence Indeed, it is said that
Mr.. Pence is even now feeling out
sentiment as to whether or not it is
best to call a state primary.
The national call provides for the
selection of all delegates by primary
this feature of the call being predi
Gated upon the plank in the demo-
cratic platform to this effect. Under
these circumstances there is wide
spread doubt as to the ability of the
state committee to evadc this pro-
vision without embarrassment. This
matter will, however, be threshed
out in the committee meeting. 1t is
claimed by those who favor resorting
to the old method of choosing dele
gates that there is no contest on this
year, and that whoever is elected will
be for Wilson for president. On the
other hand, there is set forth the
claim that the hope of the national
committee is that the primaries be SO
open that any democrat who desires
may become candidate for delegate
to the national convention. The ap-
meeting of the state COM
mittee will therefore be of consider
able interest

IDAHO MINING

STATE MINING ORGANIZATION
WILL HOLD IMPORTANT SES.
SION AT BOISE JAN. 25

retary Macbeth Completing De
tails-E. X. S0per Will Speak

WALLACE, Ida, jan 12.-(SpeciaD
Mining men from all parts of Idaho
will gather in Boise on January 25,
when the Idaho State Mining Asso-
citation will have it's annual meeting.
Jas. F. McCarty, president of the as
sociation will be in attendance, as will
doubtless many other mining men
from the district. President McCar-
thy states that the details for the
meeting have not been worked out,
but that he and Senator Ravenel Mac
beth, secretary of the association, are
working out the program and it will
be announced soon President McCar-
thy is endeavoring to get Prof. E. X.
Soper, Of the mining department of
the university, to attend and to de-
liver the main address
Several problems of vital import
ance will be discussed at the annual
meeting. Among other matters to be
considered is the attitude of the as
sociation on the Ferris bill which is
one of the administration measures
affecting the west before this session
of congress. Secretary Macbeth's re-
port of the conference will probably
lead up to this discussion. He found
that it is the belief of the admins
tration, fostered, he thinks, by the
of Senator Walsh of Monta-
ma, that the west is in sympathy with
the measure. For this large user of
power, the Ferris bill would make
little difference, but the small mining
man would be the one who would be
handicapped if the bill should become
a law, he says. Under that measure,
the prospector with small placer
claim would be burdened with con-
siderable expense in surveys and with
a great amount of red tape before
could obtain the right to use the
water necessary for the development
If his claim, whereas, with water
power under the control of the state.

Another problem for the associa-

trip through the northwest and she
pronounced his voice altogether re-
markable. He will render number

eTOuS IdtIOu6&c
The special committee composed Of
w. E. Wallace, G. P. Mix, and F. c..
MCGOWAN, named by the Chamber of
Commerce to aid the university glee
club concert in it's first concert at
the university auditorium Friday
night, has issued the following appeal
in behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce in support of the glee club:
The Chamber of Commerce, through
its committee, desires to call the at
tention of the citizen of Moscow to
the glee club concert to be held at
the university auditorium Friday eve
ming. Every encouragement should
be given to the love for music in this
community, and we feel that the cit
izens of Moscow should be willing to-
patronize an entertainment OF this
kind even if at some necessary dis
comfort to themselves. The night
may, and probably will be cold, but
at the end Of your trip from home to
the auditorium, you will come into
a well-heated and lighted room, and
while there you will hear some OF the
best college music that can be heard
anywhere.
Let us take pride in this activity
of the state institution, and support
it both by the purchase of tickets and
attendance, or in any event by the
purchase of tickets at least
