Progressives Decide to Go

Old Policy of Endorsement
Appoint Committee to Pick
Candidates and Report to
Convention in Cottonwood
MAY NOT FILE Sd
TICKET AFTER ALL

Rumors of friction in the
Progressive party were current
in the street during the last
two days. The chief bone Of
contention is whether the party
will actually place county
ticket in the field. While the
convention voted in favor Of a
county ticket, it is said that at
least a majority of the commit
tee named to make tentative Sc
lections of candidates is opposed
to the movement, and that no
recommendation favorable to a
county ticket will be made at
the meeting in Cottonwood,
next Monday. These rumOrs
were, to certain extent, con-
firmed by members of the party
who oppose third county
ticket.

Voting to place Progressive coun-
ticket in the field, so far as they
could "get the MATERIAL" unanimous
ly opposing Endorsement of any can
didate on either the Republican or
Democratic ticket. and demanding
that agriculture be put on a parity
with the manufacturing industries
and labor by placing bounty ON ex-
ports of staple farm products, rep
resentatives of the Progressive party
from many parts of Idaho county
met in Grangville Tuesday afternoon.
At the meeting, committee OF
six was appointed to make tentative
selections of candidates for county Of
flee ON the Progressive ticket. Names
of the prospective nominees Will be
placed before meeting OF Progress
sives TO be held in Cottonwood on
June 80, for the acceptance or re-
lection of the party.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
The committee on nominations COM
prises Ross Arnold. Grangeville; Will
liam Wagner, Cottonwood; George
Terhaar, Greencreek; George Heath,
Grangeville; Joe Sattler, Greencreek'
and John Jungert, Keuterville.
Spirited debate arose over the prop
osition of placing a county ticket IN
the field. The proposal was carried
by a vote of almost two-thirds OF the
thirty persons present. William Pot-
fer. of Grangeville, championed the
county ticket idea. Speak
ing in opposition were Ross Arnold,
Grangeville: G. w. Booth, of Nez-
perez, state organizer for the Progress
sives: and William Wagner, Cotton
wood. Mr.. Booth expressed the opin-
ion that it was immaterial whether
q county ticket is filed. The Progress
sives. it is understood, are more
eager for the state and legislative Of
fees than for county offices.
George ]. Terhaar, Progressive
county chairman, was chairman OF
the meeting, and S. ]. Sattler was
secretary.
Following the meeting, William
Potter explained that the Progressives
may NOT file candidates for every
county office, but they are desirous
that those candidates who are nomin-
ated will if elected, be credit 10 tiie
party and to the public, whose az
fairs they administer.
