The question was unanswered at the gathering of the faithful held in the court room Saturday. It waa decided to leave the selection of Wallowa's four delegates to the state convention to the new central committee that will be elected on April 17. The state conven tion to be held June 16. will elect del egates to the national convention and the question up was instructions tor the Wallowa delegates. Judge Corking thought it would be a rood Idea to let the state know how Wallowa stood. Chairman 6. F. Pace invited someone, anyone to sound the keynote, but 10 one felt tuneful. All laughed. Every body understood everybody else without words. As Judge Corking said, it would be impossible to find four Democrats in the county who ere for anybody but the people's choice. The Democrats and Republicans have swapped places. In 1904 the Republicans bad but one candidate; the Democrats many. Now the latter know no name but Bryan, while the Republicans are flirting with a dozen. There waa a goodly representation present from all parts ot the county, and candidates not a few. All were in a good humor and more than one old wheelhorse said it looked like a Dem ocratic year from president to coroner. Chairman 8. F. Pace filled vacancies on the committee for this meeting from those in attendance, and later an nouncsd the complete committee to serve until April 17 as follows: Los tine, W. W. Wade; Joseph, J. T.
