Boise.--Idaho went on record
Wednesday as the thirtieth state
in the union to ratify the amend
ment to the federal constitution,

The ratification resolution was
passed by the senate by a vote of 20
to 6, but was unanimously approved
by the house, SO voting FOR it. 1t

The senate vote created somewhat

torn down to make way for the
new capitol, the senate met in the
chamber of commerce ana the house
in the Odd Fellows hall. They con-
yened at noon with Speaker M. A.
Kiger presiding in the house, and
Lieut.. Gov. C. c. Moore in the SEN

six senators were absent
Governor Davis transmitted
brief message of endorsement to
both houses, after which recess
was taken. In his message the gov
ernor said: ut appears to me
imperative that the action should
be taken before the next regular
session of the legislature in order
not to prevent the women of other
states to join in their primary
elections and in the general cleo
tions of this year when a president
! is to be elected. The great ma
jority of you believe thai the wo-
men of the country should have
full participation in these elections.
With Idaho's proud record in the
suffrage column, we should lead the
hosts of progress in other states"

AND POCATELLO

Boise, Feb. 12.-Delegates from
Idaho to the national republican
convention at Chicago June will
be chosen April 2S at Coeur
d'Alene. The republican nominat
ing convention, at which party
presidential electors, candidates for
United States senators, representa-
tives in congress, justice of the SUI
preme court and all elective state
officers will be nominated, will be
held at Pocatello August "a. The
republican state central committee
meeting today selected the places
for the two conventions, and fixed
the time for the first one, the time
for the nomination convention be-
ing fixed by statute.
The basis of representation fixed
by Secretary of State Robert o.
Jones, as prescribed in the new
modified primary law, was adopted
by the convention as the basis up
on which the various counties shall
be entitled to representation in the
two conventions. This computation
gives the republican party a total
of 146 members for it's conventions.
On motion of Bartlett Sinclaire.
the committee went on record as
being against the collection of any
money from the state by the repub-
lican convention delegates. The
sum of $500 was appropriated by
the late legislature for the purpose
of paying the expenses of the dele
gates to the party conventions.
The method of selecting county
delegates to the state conventions
was left in the hands of the county
central committees, the committees
either to select the county delegate.

Dividing Republicans in
Few States Would
Give Cox Chance.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial To Tho ArEua.l

Chicago, ILL.,, July 13.-Many
things happen 'twixt now and cleo
ton day. But II the polls in the
presidential contest were to be
closed tomorrow certain other
things would surely happen-such
as, for instance, the election Of
Warren Harding. Republican, as
president Of the United States. And
II the third party movement devel-
ops even the minimum strength ex-
pected Of it, namely, the carrying
of Minnesota, Wisconsin and North
Dakota-0overnor James Cox Of
Ohio. Democrat, may be the happy
beneficiary and president of the
United States.
However insignificant the third
party may appear to eastern eyes;
however much it may be derided as
socialistic, ultra-ratical and Hearst
made, the fact Is 1t does menace
Republican victory more than it
does Democratic, For the Demo-
Gratis who nominated Cox of Ohio
deliberately forfeited the west and
chose to make their battle-ground
in the east. Governor Cox may in
wade the west successfully, but
based on things as they gre today,
he has less than an even chance Of
carrying any western states except
California and Montana.
What Delegates Expect.
It is perhaps early to mako def
mite forecasts. but there is never
theless q fixed opinion in the mind
Of q delegate as to what the
chances OF his own party in his
state are today. After canvassing
numerous delegates at both Chica-
90 and San Francisco, asking them
not to attempt to say definitely how
their states were going but merely
what they believed their own
chances to be, the writer deduced
from both Democratic and Repub-
lican opinions q table in which the
electoral vote would seem to be
tending in a direction something
like this:
