BIG CONVENTION COMES
TO WALLACE AUGUST q
REPUBLICANS WILLNoMINATE IN
THIS cITY-EXPEcT BEWEEN
300 AND 400 VISITORS.

The republican state nominating
convention will be held in Wallace on
August p. This was the unanimous
decision Of the republican state com
mittee which met at Boise last Satur-
day. The credit for landing this big
gathering for Wallace must be largely
given to Herman j. Rossl who at
tended the meeting to present the
claims of this city Major +. L. Quig-
ley is the member of the committee
for Shoshone county, but being unable
to attend, Mr.. ROssi was induced to go
in his place, his personal acquaintance
with members of the committee and
wide experience in dealing with ques-
tons of this nature making his pres
ence especially desirable. The board
of trade manifested its interest in
bringing the convention to Wallace by
appropriating $50 to help pay the ex-
penses of the Wallace representative,
this appropriation being made upon
the condition that he would not hold a
proxy as member of the committee.
Following this action, Mr. Rossi and
others interested decided that to go to
Boise under that restriction WOULD de-
prive him of a great advantage in his
fight to bring the convention to Wal
lace, and his expenses were therefore
provided by private subscription and
without accepting the appropriation
from the board of trade. He partici-
pated in the meeting of the committee
and had the active cooperation of L. e.
Worstel, who also held a proxy rem
dering valuable assistance in behalf of
"the old home town"
