Arthur M. Bowen of Twin Falls, one
of the most prominent attorneys in
the state, is a candidate for national
committeeman, subject to the will of
the next Democratic state convention
to be held at Pocatello May 18. This
was the authentic information received
by leading Democrats of Boise last
night. The fight for the committce

W. M. McKendrlck, its president, pre
siding.
W. C. T. U. NOTES.
That the public library was being
supplied with books on the subject of
prohibition, whose statistical accuracy
was questionable, and whose sentiment
was insidiously wrong, was the discov
ery made by a recent investigator in j
search of information, was reporte, at
the monthly parlor-meeting of the
Central Vf. C. T. U. held at thj lume af
Mrs. J. L. Thompson on Friday after
noon. Following this statement, the
state president spoke on the same sub
ject and said that the national organi
zation ad reported s-icu work done
in various places by the liquor inter
ests and a committee was appointed to
more thoroughly investigate the sub
ject. The matter for consideration for
the afternoon was the life and work of
the Hon. Neal Dow, the "Father of
Prohibition." Mtb. Roan was the speak, i
er, and for an hftur she held the close !
attention of the women by her charm- '
inggmd unusual treatment of the tub
ject.
After the close of the program, the
time was given over to sociability. The
house was deco, ated with carnations
and violets and the guests were invited
into the dining room where a lunch
was served cafeteria-style, nt very
prettily appointe! tables.
The next regular meeting will bo
held at the W. C. T. U. rooms, 405 Em
pire building. Friday, March 24 at 2:3.
