Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings and Debates of the Constitutional Convention of Idaho, 1889, Vol. 1 All the proceedings of the convention were reported stenographically at the time by a very competent re porter, wh'ose notes by order of the convention were filed with the secretary of the territory, but no provis ion had ever been made for transcribing and publishing them before the passage of the act referred to. It has seemed fitting to insert as prefatory matter the calls or proclamations of the territorial governors for the election of delegates to the convention. And the convening thereof, as these calls constituted the only official warrant for the holding of the convention, which met and performed its labors without either an enabling act of congress or any authorization from the territorial legislature. The call of Gov. E. A. Stevenson was dated April 2, 1889. Almost immediately thereafter Gov. Stevenson went out of office and was succeeded by Gov. Geo. L. Shoup, whose more elaborate proclamation, dated May 11, 1889, appears to have been in the nature of a confirmation of the act of his predecessor, as well as being designed to stimulate popular interest in the movement for statehood.
