DGl1NO INOMlNA NAl ELL.
The republicans and democrats of
Idaho met in state conventions at Po-
catello and Idaho Falls, respectively
at noon today, for the purpose of
nominating candidates for senate,
congress and state offices. Interest
has centered in the race for United
States senator and governor on the
republican ticket and indications
point to the nomination of Frank R.
Gooding, of Gooding, for senator, and
ID. w. Davis for governor
Want Latah Sentiment
Last night telegram was received
by Moscow republicans from Arnold
Lyon asking that kilograms. be sent
to Pocatello stating that Latah coun-
ty favors Gooding for United States
senator and wants French renonr-
mated for congress- The kilograms
were sent at that is believed to be
the sentiment of a large majority of
Latah county republicans.
Talk French For Senate
There has been much talk about
Burton L. French for the United
States senate, but Mr.. French has
never announced his candidacy and
will, undoubtedly be nominated by ac-
climation to succeed himself His
friends, many of whom are support
,ers of Governor Gooding for United
States senator, have been ready to
spring Congressman French's name
for the nomination for senator in
case of a deadlock, and he would
probably be nominated and elected in
such an emergency. But dispatches
from Pocatello dated last night indi-
cate that Gooding will be nominated |
for senator and French for congress
man. The dispatch from Pocatello
under date Of Monday night, follows:
Pocatello, ,Idaho-Prior to the for
NAL converting of the first republi-
can state nominating convention to
be held in Idaho since 1908, in this
city at noon tomorrow, two fairly
well-defined situations have develop
ed tonight with reference to candi-
dates for the more important offices
nor Of the state, is far in the lead
of the other senatorial candidates.
Col L. V. Patch, Col. E. G. Davis,
Capt. A H Conor, C w Beale and
Miles Cannon, Second, Governor D. K
w. Davis, candidate for renomina-
ton, is admitted to have more l
strength than the two other arpirants {
for that office, State Treasurer John {
W. Eag1esson and M. /. Kiger. I'm t
less some combination is formed be- i
fore or after the convention convenes, c
he will be nominated.
All other officers, three justices of r
the supreme court, two congressman, [
1ieutenantgovernor attorney general, o
secretary of state, treasurer, auditor,
mine Inspector and superintendent of t
public instruction, together with four
presidential electors, are lost sight 0
of. t
With the exception of the three s.
justices, superintendent of public in e
struction, state treasurer and mine
there are no contests. m
Attorney General Black, Secretary c,
Superintendent Of Public instruction t.
Miss Ethel Redfield will be renomi- d
mated Miss Redfield has opposition fl
in Miss Logue, of Gooding, but it is bt
not believed the latter has sufficient to
strength to win. bs
Captain Banks of Caldwell, and til
Monte B. Gwinn, of Boise, are men tt
Toned for state treasurer, together til
with Colonel Patch in the event the
ater should fail of nomination for er
senator ul
Stewart Campbell, of Haley, and re
VI. Leonard, of Boise, are the only dc
,wo announced candidates for. mine
Inspector If what now appears to be be
he program goes through, the nomi- of
lation for the regular term of the
upreme court bench, or the position so
leld by Chief Justice Morgan will go
o either Frederick S. Randall Of tic
lewiston or Judge Robert N. Dunn
f Coeur d'Alene, probably the for tn
ner. The two conditional judgship tn
ominations will probably go to OF
udge Charles P. Mccarthy of Boise
nd William A. Lee of Blacl1foot
here are two other candidates for ed
hese nominations, T. Bailey Lee of co
;urley and former State Represen- er
alive Ryan of Weiser, author Of the Ms
ublic utilities act Of this state. The on
lacement of these nominations de- st1
ends largely upon the manner in fai
yhic9l the congressional and state tio
ominations are divided geographic {

Congressman Burton L. French, of Co,
le first congressional district, and inc
Addison I. Smith of at
le second congressional district, are que

In the slate-making there. is talk tha
the north demanding both SEN of
or and congressman and the nomi- anc
alton of either Captain Connor or mil
French for senator. of
mother slate mentions French for
nator and Connor for representa- SO
10. Still another links the name ed
Congressman Smith with that Of Lie
nator with Governor Davis for con-
,essman. All these states are con- nat
lgent upon Gooding and Davis fail ton

In the event of Davis nomination, Ev.
