However, conven tions were necessary to elect dele gates to the republican and demo cratic national conventions. The republican convention was held in A.pril at Cotter d"Alene. At least 60 of the delegates at that conven tion have filed their claims with the state auditor. The total approxi mates $4000; The democrats are to hold their convention next month at Lewiston, and delegates to that convention will also file their claims, which will call for the 'balance of the appropriation. Delegates to the state nominating conventions will therefore have to travel at their own expense, it is the present opinion of state officials. Situation la Pecvlfar. The situation is somewhat peculiar. The republicans adopted the appor tionment worked out by the secretary of state for representation in the nominating convention. 146 delegates. The democrats will seat but 106 dele gates in their state convention. The representation is based on the number of votes cast at the last general elec tion. The republican party cast the greater number of votes. The democratic state committee, however, did not accept the secretary of state's basis of representation for it apportioned some 300 delegates among the various counties to the convention to be held at Lewiston June 15. Only 106 of this number will be entitled to file claims on the legislative appropriation. State of ficials .point out that there will not be enough money anyway for the 300 delegates and it is doubtful if there will .be enough for 106. Who is to say which 106 will receive their ex penses they are unprepared to state. The claims filed by the repu-bllcan delegates average about $45 each. If all the 146 delegates file claims prac tically the entire apropriation will be wiped out. i Apparently all are not going to rile, wmcn will leave some money to be apportioned among democrats. Primary Law Ag-aiit "Wanted. This situation, coupled with the criticism heard over the Couer d'Alene convention, where considerable antl Borah sentiment' came to the surface, has brought out an agitaUon for re instatement of the direct primary law. It Is likely this will be intensi fied at the two state conventions, for those who fail of nomination will not -be satisfied by the manner in which thev will be side-tracked. The last legislature repealed the direct primary, insofar as it relates to the nomination of congressional and state candidates, and Introduced after a lapse of 12 years the 6tate convention system which came into disrepute in 1908 when Burton L. French, now congressman from the First Idaho district, was beaten out of the nomination by Thomas R. Hamer whose friends managed to stampede the convention although two-thirds -of the delegates in that body were pledged to French and were in honor-bound to nominate him. This week leaders in both political parties were given somewhat of jolt by an editorial in the Evening Capital -News, published at Boise, declaring- that the return of the direct primary law to the statute books will be an issue in the state campaign.
