Garfield is the only president who

CONVENTION At

LARGEST EVER
Convention Instructs To Sup

dent, Endorses Sen. Nugent

Marked by enthusiasm throughout
its session and with a record attend
ance for a party gathering of this
character, the democratic state con-
vention at Lewiston, followed a session
in the afternoon, adopted resolutions
giving full endorsement to President
Wilson, condemning partisan criticism
of the president, endorsing the league
of nations without reservations and
pledging continued support to the
soldiers, sailors and marines of our
country who served in the great world
war. The Idaho allotment of dele
gates in the national convention at
San Francisco is eight and the con-
venton elected "a, giving to each a
one third vote.
While the delegate representation
was the largest ever recorded at a
convention held in the state for the
purpose of choosing national delegates
it can be said also that it was
a representative body from the party
standpoint, leaders being present from
every section and participating with
deep interest in all phases Of the con-

COP. CHOOSES OHIO SENATOR
ON TENTH BALLOT AFTER
HOT FIGHT; COOLIDGE VICE
LOWden and Wood Forced to Yield
AS State Delegations Swing
to Buckeye Man

Warren G. Harding, U. S. Senator
from Ohio, was nominated for the pres
idency by the Republican national
lasted for nine ballots and which
finally forced out of the running
all the original favorites.
AS his running mate, the conven-
ton named Governor Calvin Coolidge
of Massachusetts.
The collapse of the forces of Gov
ernor Frank o. Lowden and their
transfer in large part to Senator
Harding put the Ohio candidate over.
General Wood lost heavily, however,
when the Harding drift began, and
Senator johnson, the third of the trio
of leaders on the early balloting also
went steadily down hill.
Entering the convention as a candi-
date distinctly of the clark horse Z"
class, Senator Harding got only GA
votes on the first ballot and on the
second he dropped to So. When the
convention adjourned at the end of
the fourth ballot he had 81.
Almost as soon as the alphabetical
call of states began after the recess
the ground swell for Harding demon
strated that it coud not be forestalled
Connecticut, when her name was cal
ed, took 10 of her IA votes from
Lowden and gave them to Harding.
In Florida he got seven from Wood,
and then Kentucky, almost from the
first a solid Lowden state. Topped
completely into the Harding column.
Amid scenes of rising enthusiasm
other blocks of Lowden delegates fol
lowed suit, while many of the routed
Wood supporters also went into the
Harding camp. By the end of the
roll call Senator Harding had rolled
up a total of 374, putting him far into
the lead and several score of votes
nearer the nomination than any can
didate had been before
1owden at the end of the ninth had
only 121 votes left out of 307 with
which he ended the eighth, and Gen
eral Wood s strength had fallen from
299 on the eighth to 249 on the ninth
johnson from 81 to 80.
AS the tenth roll call began dele
gates quit LowdeD, Wood an dJohn-
son right and left, and the big hall
was in almost continuous applause as
state after state announced accessions
to the Harding standard. 1t was re-
served for Pennsylvania to add the
ROWING touch of enthusiasm. When
the keystone state was reached the
Ohio senator needed 80 to nominate
him, and Pennsylvania gave him 60.
1t was Governor Sproul himself, the
candidate of his state on every pre-
ceding ballot and mentioned many

Much orkPlanned
On Forest Trails

An extensive program of road and
trail Improvement is contemplated in
plans of the Nezperce Forest this sea-
son. In addition to the regular fire
patrol, the local forest will employ a
number of small improvement crews
on road and trail work.
A fifteen man crew will be used
throughout the season on the Adams
road. In addition a smaller crew will
work most of the summer on the
road between Adams and the Buffalo
Hump. The combined efforts should
result in fairly good auto road to
Adams and q good wagon road to
Squaw Meadows.
Many badly needed trails will be
opened up and new ones built A
number of trails around Fish creek
will be cleaned out during the next
few weeks. Likewise the old Frank
Brown trail will be opened up all of
the way from the Clearwater river
to Buffalo Hump. Several of the trails
south of the hump will be construct
ed, and a new trail built to the
mouth of Sheep creek on Salmon river.
Other projects in the Silver creek
country, Ten Mile, NewsOme, and Elk
City will receive attention. Alto
gether over three hundred miles of
road and trail will be built or open
ed up by these crews providing their
work is not interrupted by fires.
The Forest Service hopes that in this
way a great deal of territory can
be opened up and made accessible in
a few years.
The trail crews will be used as fire
fighters when needed, and in the ter
ritory where they are working. No
fire crews will be employed from the
outside.

times as a possible dark horse to
break the deadlock, who announced
the big Pennsylvania vote for Hard
ing. Entering the coliseum floor for
the first time since the balloting be-
gan, he made his way to the Pennsyl-
vania standard and amid cheers, re-
leased the delegates from longer sup
porting him. Then he took a pool
got the floor, and threw in the winning
Harding votes.
A demonstration of several minutes
followed, most of the delegates and
spectators standing cheering while a
pro- ession carrying large pictures of
the candidate and standard of some of
the states that supported him took up
its march around the hall. But it was
too tired a convention after the Cruel
ling excitement of two sweltering days
/ of balloting to long keep up such
demonstration. Senator Lodge, pre-
siding raped for order, and the dele
gates did not argue with him.
The final check up showed 692 for
Harding, with only - left supporting
Lowden, l57 for Wood and so for
Johnson. At their best, earlier in the
day, the Wood people had mustered
3l2 votes and the Lowden forces 31l.
Motion to make the nomination UNI
animous was passed in a great chorus
of approval but when opportunity
was given for negative votes there
were some Fnoes' from Wisconsin,
whose delegation throughout the day
had voted and Kisses and eat calls
almost solidly for Senator Robert M.
La Toilette.
The plan to nominate Senator Len
root for the vice presidency had the
backing of many of the men who had
helped put Harding over, but the
name of Governor Coolidge stirred the
delegates and galleries to repeated
cheering and he was swept into sec
ond place on the ticket before the
first roll call had gone two-thirds of
its length. Again it was Pennsylva-
MIA which furnished the winning votes.
Governor Coolidge got GA votes to
146 for Senator Lenroot and 6S for
Governor Alien of Kansas. Several
others got scattering support without
being placed formally in nomination
The result was greeted with another
demonstration and there was renewed
cheering few minutes later when the
tired delegates were told that their
work was done. 1t was early eve
ming bv the time adjournment was
reached but before midnight hundreds
had checked out and were on their
way.
On the tenth and final ballot Idaho
voted johnson l, Lowden 2, Harding
,, Wood 3.

COAL DISCOVERED.
BY GRANGEV|LLE
MAN NEAR TOWN
Lem Neal Locates Five Foot
Vein on Old Bledsoe Ranch,
Three Miles South of Town

A report was received in the city re-
Gently that body of coal had been
discovered on the old Bledsoe proper
ty, now owned by E. S. Sweet, Of
this place. The property is located
about miles south of the city.
Mr.. Lem Neal, who made the dis
covery, states that he has uncovered
the vein at several places, and the
body of coal has never been discover
ed less than four feet.
Mr.. Neal plans on forming a corpor-
alton to take over the work of de-
velopment and already has enough
backing to insure success to the ven
ture. The company would control a
body of land comprising about 1000
acres.
Many of the local business men
are very much interested in the ven
ture and no doubt that the work of
development will be carried on very
rapidly.

vention work, while the situation was
supplemented by an Unprecedented de-
mand on the part of the general public
for opportunity to attend the sessions.
The-day had been a noteworthy one
in the presence direct from Washington
of Senator John F. Nugent who
brought a message as to the attitude
Of the national administration. Senator
Nugent s address was one firmly sup
porting the president s attitude on the
league of nations and review of the
achievements of the democratic admin
istration.
The convention honored for its
chairman, a former Lewiston boy, now
city attorney of Occur d'Alene, and a
veteran of the Argonne. He is Robert
Dwight Leeper and in his acceptance
address he wildly and vigorously out
lined the attitude of the returned sol
der as to domestic and international
matters, giving firm support to the
president, depreCating the cries of
the world war policies, and holding 1T
was an obligation due to the men who
fought that America remain IN the
council of nations.
The only threatened issue on the
platform utterance came when, from
the floor of the convention, Harry
Kessler of Boise moved to supplement
the plank of prohibition beyond the
simple declaration: "We favor the en-
forcement of the Volstead act. The
first paragraph of his resolution was
adopted without roll call after the
second paragraph was eliminated at
the suggestion of Senator Nugent and
others, and so what promised to be
the first fight of the convention ended.
The paragraph eliminated reads as
follows:
While we wish our delegates to go
uninstructed as to presidential prefer
ence and to be free to use their best

an infield out. In our half the first

two were easy outs.
in their half of the seventh, while
Gillette was given life on an error,

while the local team had two on, in
the eighth but failed to put any
men across the plate.
