OF IDAHO BOURBONS
Senator to Have Full Say at
::L Lewiston Convention.
: WILSON TO BE INDORSED
in the Benson hotel, .after viewing
A Letter to Philemon," one of the
productions of that company.
'Success -of the prohibition move
ment was -directly due to the influ
ence of motion pictures." was the
statement of James A. McGill, presi
dent of the organisation, in his talk
preceding- the showing of the film.
The tendency in the cinema field
today is to give the public pictures
which stimulate the passions. Real
izing the importance of a worn wmcn
will elevate the morals of a people,
I have attempted to give them some
thing which they will be glad to see
and send their children to, he
added.
Judge Stevenson, Mrs. A. C. Newill
and Mrs. Jennie Richardson, the lat-
frrcaty or Versailles Without Kes-
ervations Sure to Be Urged
, V in Resolutions.
' BOISE, Idaho, May 29. (Special.)
"" United States Senator Nugent will be
President "Wilsons personal -repre
sentative at the Lewiston state con-
Vvention June 15, when delegates are
- -elected to the democratic national
convention at San Francisco, and will
- deliver the keynote speech before that
conclave. Senator Nu gent's friends in
r the democratic party in this state will
."' be in complete control of the conven
.'tion, having a majority of the dele
gates entitled to seats, and will be in
a. position to dictate the resolutions.
There will be no -wavering in -the
tone of the latter. They will indorse
both the president and the adminis-
tration. the treaty of Versailles with-
- - out reservations and as presented to
the senate of the United States, and
- the league of nations.
Friends In Control.
Senator Nugent, as has been men
. ; tioned before, will head the delegation
'. "to San Francisco and in the group will
he a majority of his friends who are
".JTavorable to his record in the senate
. and who will put forth every effort to
.bring about his re-election.
k Robert H. Klder of Coeur dAlene,
democratic national committeeman,
'. '.general dispenser of federal patron-
age, is a candidate to succeed himself
,tjn that exalted position and, judging
' from the activity that is being dis
played by his friends, he is going to
be successful at Lewiston. An effort
K " was made to defeat Klder at the Poca-
tello convention four years ago and
, '.might have done so had theoppesi-
tion had an organization. But it did
r J not, and Elder won hands down. He
' has been closely identified . with the
-ugent machine in this state and pro-j
i" .'poses to remain " national' committee-I
man. As he. ,is. satisfactory to the
J junior senator and the lieutenants of j
that tiolon who are fighting his bat-
. ties, it is not anticipated here that,
IV Jie will have serious trouble.'
r - Convention to Be Representative,
t , The Lewiston convention will be
' the most representative gathering of
-dSmocrats from a party standpoint
that has been held in the state for
- years. This is the assertion of leading
-Bourbons and it has not been chal--;lenged.
Chairman ay made provi---J
sion for this through the apportion
" ' nient of delegates to the 44 counties,
i. .t" While the number will exceed the
. .'apportionment made by the secretary
, of state and all of the delegates will
not be able to draw down their trav
t"V. ellng expenses from the state, most of
VL V them will make the Lewiston trip.
' "The accommodations of Lewiston are
-likely to be taxed to their capacity.
From Ada county will go some of
!Mthe leaders in the state, including
; ( former Governor Hawley, former Gov
'ernor Alexander, former State Chair-
man Pence, former Attorney-General
;Martin and others.
11 s likely that Senator Nugent will
i join the Boise delegation here and
H travel with it to the north, where he
- probably will make an inspection of
!T ' his political fences following the con
' ; ' vention, giving a number of addresses
in the north.
An effort now is being made to run
V ' a special train to Lewiston carrying
the southeastern and southern Idaho
' delegates. A check is in progress to
v uscertain the number that each county
4 - ' expects to send. When this is com
i pleted and it is found there are
.' ; enough to warrant chartering a spe
1 'cial, it will he made up at Pocatello
on June 12 or 13. arriving in Lewis
r -.ton on the day before "the convention.
