able time was discussed in choosing

The committee appointed on plat
forms and resolutions at the demo-
crate county convention on August
Is did not make report at the meet
ing. The committee when appointed
was instructed to await the outcome
of the state democratic convention
at HALEY on August % before making
any resolutions as to platforms Ine
old committee was reaffalrmed IueS-
day and the name of w. +. Nor
gareidge added.
The platform committee was IN

lutions by Wednesday morning ana
be ready to report Several OF the
committee members who had attend
ed the state convention spoke reas-
suringly of the stand taken at HALEY
and the assembly expressed itself as
very favorable to the state platform
Quite a number of the committee
men from the various precincts were
present at the meeting and those VINO
could not be present in many IN
stances sent in communications en-
,dorsing everything that should be
agreed on Tuesday and expressing re-
gret that they were unable to attend.
The Bourbons have, they feel,
launched their standard under very
auspicious surroundings and are con-
fident that the state emblem this fall
will be the old faithful design OF the
democratic party.
That they are launching into the
fray with all sails set is evident from
the talk that was to be heard at the
meeting. The general atmosphere
was all sunshine for the Jefferson
dans.
The real campaign will start soon
say the democrats. On September II,
Moses Alexander will deliver an ad-
dress in the city of Moscow and later
90 to Lewiston and other north Idaho
points, accompanied by number OF
other prominent BOurbons.
