c. D. P. SELECTS
WALLACE FOR
CONVENTION
Thirty-six of A Counties
Represented at Committee
Meeting

The Republican state central COM
mttee in session in Boise Saturday,
decided to hold the state nominal
ing convention in Wallace, August %.
The action of the committee ended
Il spirited contest. The vote in COM
mittee stood Wallace, 81; Moscow, 7,
and Weiser, 2. Later the committee
made the selection of Wallace unani-
nous.
Thirty-six of the fortyfour counties
were represented. By vote
of 81 to IA, the committee first de-
cided to hold the state nominating
convention in some city in the first
congressional district. This action
eliminated Boise as a possible con-
tender, as that city is in the second
district. Weiser, Wallace and Mos
COW were the main contenders for
the convention. All three are in the
first district. Their respective claims
for the convention were presented to
the convention by John D. Robertson,
who spoke for Weiser; Herman Ros-
81, who spoke for Wallace, and Chris
Hagan for Moscow.
THOMAS STILL CHAIRMAN
The committee declined to accept
the resignation of State Chairman
Thomas who asked to be relieved.
Mr. Thomas opened the session and
told of the conditions existing at the
time of the last election and steps
taken since that time. He was of the
opinion that conditions were, since
then, much improved. He predicted
that with the coming of fall gem
eral revival of business will have been
effected. He told those present that
it was his intention of resigning from
the position of chairman due to bust
ness matters which would require
considerable of his time. He request
ed that action be taken on this mat
ter as soon as possible. Mr.. Fraw-
lev of Ada county took the floor and
delivered a strong address in favor of
not accepting Mr.. Thomas resigna-
ton. This was upheld by w. Scott
Hall and several others. A vote was
taken and the unanimous opinion was
that Mr.. Thomas should remain in
the chair at the present time.
IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
Later the committee went into
executive session, organized for pre-
convention work and made prelim-
mary arrangements for financing the
campaign.
A sub-comittee will make a study
of all problems that may become is
sues in the campaign to the end that
the Wallace convention may be fully
informed. Members of this commit
tee. considered a highly important
one, are:
Jess Hawley, Boise, chairman; Ar
mold Lyon, Moscow; Cheney st. Clair,
Idaho Falls; John d. Robertson,
Weiser; Joseph Peterson, Pocateilo.

icaliy he placed the buttons on their

finally to brush them all aside and de-

Eairchild did not wait.
From the platform al the end of the

line up on the floor. The callers voice
grew louder:
