TIE DIAL OF DESTINY
Tells OF More Political Possibilities and
Predicts the Happenings Of Curious
Things-A Banner With a Strange

AunSs-A 1SuneT Wlt1 strange
Device.
Since the TIMES last published the
story as told by the "Dial," there have
crowded upon it several more facts
and possibilities. The leading Dem
ocratic Club of Idaho has passed, by
unanimous vote. a resolution condemn
ing any party or movement that at
tempts to prevent Mormon priests,
elders, etc., and their slaves and fol-
lowers from voting. That fully sus-
tains the position of the TIMES and,
with the (Mormon) Southern indie
pendent's position, covers the entire
ground. The Congressional struggle
will be upon an American VS.. Anti
American platform.
The Boise gang led by Krebs have
suceeeded-in making asses of them
selves-and done no harm to the Re.
publican party at large. The "Krebs
Call" will be auswered-by an echo!
Coming down to county matters the
l"Diai" says that in the scramble for
office each locality pushes forward
nearly as many candidates (for the en-
tire number of offices) as there are
offices in Alturas county to be filed.
The result will be a wrangle between
localities. At this hour there ap-
pears on the "Dial'' a Haley man
whom the Democrats will nominate
for Sheriff, and beside him is a Hal
ley man whom they will nominate for
Recorder-he is Mr.. Cannady; but
there is gravestone standing near
them on which is written: "Too much
Haley" The "Dial" also shows Ru-
lex, of Bellevue, far ahead of all the
| Democratic candidates for District
Attorney, while Judge Street, among
the Democrats, is making good time
+ for County Judge, but is very close to
the gravestone and the epitaph above
mentioned.
4 Out among the tombstones that
bear record OF the untimely end Of
Vineyard, Batten, Waters, Lockman,
Kinney, Sifers and others, there
stands a Coroner, who, supposing HIM
self unopposed, awaits the political
deaths sure to occur rapidly during
the months of August and Septem
Der.
Among the Republican figures seer
, on the "Dial" are pictures much like
those seen among the Democrats
r Campbell stands at the door of the
convention with more votes fol
Sheriff than any other candidate
Cassidy is "sloshing around loose

Cummings is backed by his down
river friends and carries faded pic

} is a dim picture beyond all these
but nothing of it can be clearly seer

Off alone, as if considering, arc
f two figures. They have their eye
/. fixed on the words, "District Attorney,
