Administration Forces Control by the Majority
REPUBLICAN
COUNTY CONVENTION
Claimed by them Since the Primaries
Seventy-eight to thirty was the |
way the administration forces and
the antis lined up at Coeur d'Alene
, , , '
last Tuesday at the Republican |
county convention. This was just i
one vole less than Chairman Chos.
L. Meitman claimed the day after
the primaries, or, rather, he claim
ed 73 votes for the Dunn-lleitman
administration ticket, not counting I
the six contested votes from
j
Bonners Ferry.
The Antis had spread the report]
that the vote would be very close,
and the public was anxious to
set
what, if anything, the Morgan
men had up their sleeves. It ap
pears, however, that there never
was a time that the administrative
forces were not thoroughly cemen
ted, or when they did not control
by two to one, or better.
The big fight that was predicted
did not come off. It was a one sided
The majority held a cau
contest.
ous and agreed upon their nomi
nees, and when it came to a vote
in the convention, it was done by
acclamation;
The Bonners Ferry contest at
tracted attention. It was conduc
ted much the same as a trial.
Heitman appeared for the contes
tants, and Morgan for the other
delegation. Both sides were well
supplied with affidavits, in addition
to statements of the delegates
themselves. The committee listen
ed to the evidence decided in favor
of the contestants, and the con
vention sustained the committee.
Coercion of the Spokane & Inter
national railway laborers, and pre
sumption of many of their votes
being illegal, were the grounds up
on which the contest was made.
The ticket nominated is an ex
ceptionally strong one, and is well
distributed throughout the county.
The Morgan delegates, including
the Judge himself held aloof from
the convention, after the first
round.
The resolutions adopted favor
dividing Kootenai into two counties

The
Bonners Ferry Recognized
Bonners Ferry received substan
tial recognition at the Republican
convention, the successful delega.
t> on securing everything they ask
for.
There has long been a desire
have this locality represented
a . . • •
the board of county commissioners.
! For this position William A. Leslie,
a farmer living on the North side,
was nominated. He is an active,
i energetic citizen, and will make
good commissioner.
For years Bonners Ferry
been endeavoring to secure state
aid for a bridge across the Kootenai
river. The legislators whom we have
depended upon heretofore have
always had other fish to fry, and
our bridge bill never had any such
support as is necessary. There
a sentiment for a member of
legislature from Bonners Ferry
time, and the delegation asked
and secured the nomination of
W. McKnight, proprietor of
Hotel Casey, a man • of business
ability and political experience.
T. J. Jones and S. O. Taylor
were selected as delegates to
state convention.
T. J. Jones was selected as mem
ber of the toui ty central commit
tee, and later honored by the
chairman by being made a member
of the executive committee.
The delegates awarded seats
the convention were T. J. Jones,
W. A. Leslie, W. A. Alexander,
Frank Peterson, Fred Moore
Claude Cummins.
The contested delegates were
T. James, Harry Sawyer, Martin
Peterson, G. Hooker, Kred Gle*d,
and G. F. Osier. Had they
seated and on the winning
they would have also been
to have secured substantial recog
nition lor the town, as the person
nel of the delegation was such as
have had influence,
Spokane Interstate Fair
The enlarged grandstand at the
Spokane Interstate fair this year
will accommodate 7,000 people and
will furnish actual scaling capacity
for at least 5,000. This means its
capacity is nearly double what it
was before. The grandstand was
crowded to its utmost limits several
times last year, and it is believed
that with greater accommodations
in this respect, the crowds which
witness the races will be much lar
ger than at any time in the past.
Seven thousand dollars have been
expended in enlarging the grand
stand. The stair way also has been
changed so that it will come to the
top of the grandstand and avoid all
the confusion which usually pre
vailed last year around the center
of the building where people were
constantly coming and going.
Chairs are being installed to take
the place of the benches which wore
used last year for reserved seats.
This will be a big improvement
and will be greatly appreciated by
patrons.
These improvements in the grand
stand will be enjoyed by the crowds
which attempt to sec the races on
Derby Day and on other special

Will Celebrate again
M. P. Bogle, manager of the
Bonners Ferry Base Ball team, has
made arrangements for a great time
next Sunday. In fact the affair
will start Saturday evening, when
the hall team will give a social
dance in the hall.
On Sunday, there will be another
ball game between Bonners Ferry
and Sandpoint, to settle the
championship, the game last Sun
day having resulted in a tie on the
close score. ; tit. 2 ta •' • alter . 10
innings. It will be an exciting
game.
Manager Bogle will also have
some splendid races pulled off Sun
day. There will he an Indian
Pony race, a white man's pony
race, and a grand free for all for
the fast horses. In addition to the
horse taces, there will be foot
racing, including a one mile foot
race, besides Indian races, and
other races.
Manager Bogle has put new life
into the ball team, and the boys
are now ready to play all comers.
The team has been greatly stren
gthened. With Bogle in the lead
there will be nothing slow about
any part of the pregram.
The Sandpoint crowd will come
up Saturday night to enjoy the
dance. Let there be a good attend
ance and give the ball team good
support.
The ball game and races will take
place on the lake shore, near the
G. N. tracks, below the Y.
The management is having

A Swell Ball Game
The Ball Came Sunday l»e
twren Sandpoint and Bonners

here, both teams putting up a
»positional article of ball, the game
being called at the end of 10 innings
on account of darkness, score
standing 2 to 2. Charlie Nutt for
the locals pitched a beautiful game
allowing only 9 hits striking out
16 men and kept the hits well
scattered. Collins, catcher, caught
a perfect game behind the bat in
fact the whole team played error
less ball only four errors being
made, which were excuseable con
sidering the condition of the
grounds. The fast and snappy
game the locals pul up kept the
fans yelling all ti e time and they
proved to the people they were fast
enough to meet any amateur in the
country. A return game will he
