ALEXANDER|S
BOURBON BEST
f 0 R GOVERNOR
Nomination for Chief
Executive Almost AS
sured! Canyon Demo-
Gratis Support Leader.


M. Alexander, twice Democratic
governor of Idaho, is apparently the
choice of Idaho Bourbons this year.
AT least, he has almost majority of
The 10 votes Of the Democratic con-
vention already safely stoHed away
with several counties veto hear from
and certain scattering unrestricted
votes.
Canyon county Democrats who will
attend state convention were not in
structed for Alexander as press re-
ports indicate. But the delegation will
act upon the sentiment of those at the
convention and that sentiment was
overwhelmingly for Alexander which
insures this candidate the entire Can
yon county strength, on the the first
ballot. One ballot, it is now believed,
will nominate.
G. w. Lamson of Nampa, said to be
a Morgan man, asked the opinion of
the convention in a motion that the
convention support M. Alexander. Mr..
Lamson's motion was carried and the
delegates interprets its position to
mean that, until situations arise at the
convention which may make change
| in the county's vote advisable, Canyon
county delegates will support Mr..
Alexander.
