Whereas, There is feeling in the
minds Of many people that the press
of Idaho is to a greater or lesser

full, for the most part, of partisan
matters:
''Be it resolved, that this associa-
ton, on behalf of its members, rep
resenting large majority of the edi-
tors of the state, resents being plac-
ed in such category and points to the
evidence of its labors at all times
along lines of constructive local and
state progress regardless of political
affiliation.
Furthermore, we pledge our mem
bership to a continuation of the policy
of placing moral, educational, indus
trial, commercial and financial de-
velopment above political and other
considerations.

commend the work being done by the
Idaho Reclamation association; that
we pledge to said association our
heartiest support in the most import
ant work it is prosecuting for the up
building of county commissioners in
counties interested in reclamation,
and also organizations therein, to ex-
tend financial and moral assistance
to said association.
''Be it resolved that the spirit of
fraternalism exhibited In this con-
vention be continued in our every
day business relations in our various
communities for the upbuilding of the
newspaper profession and our indi-
vidiual prosperity and for the benefit
of the general public.

the able and conscientious work of
Guy Ffenner in his efforts to promote

classes, and we hereby ask this con-
Vention to give vote or appreciation
to Mr.. Flenner for his untiring ef-
firts in our behalf without remunera-
