THAT CIRCULAR LETTER
Which Was Furnished Fred. Du bois
by One of HIS Mormon
Eieutenantss

The DEMOCRAT is in receipt of a lettei
dated at Boise City, Idaho, on the 9th
instant, from Charles G. Stevenson, act
ing Secretary for the Democratic Central
Committee of that Territory. 1t is in
relation to letter published in the Salt
Lake Tribune on the 8th instant, which
is being circulated as a campaign docu-
ment by Dubois, and paraded in his Salt
Lake City organ as evidence of Mormon
utilization with the Democratic party.
Mr. Stevenson writes US the following
plain statement of facts concerning the
letter:
$40 Rich two years ago, and of course
before the Test Oath law was enacted,
was placed on the Territorial Central
Committee as a member from Oneida
county. Since that time the counties
have been divided, and the consequence
was, when the committee met last
spring, there was no member to repre-
sent Oneida, 10 Rich having moved to
Bear Lake county. The committee di-
rected me to send letters to all of the
counties, which | did, and sent one to
Mr.. Rich, as being the old member from
Oneida, but of course then not acting, as
he had moved out of the county. | did
not know who else to send it to and nat
urally sent it to the old member from
Oneida. The letter shows that there was
no invitation given to the Mormons to CO.
operate with the Democrats, nor any en-
enlargement for them to do so. Rich |
sent the letter to w. II. Homer, now of |
Bingham county, who gave it to Fred |
Dubois. The latter took or sent it to the |
Salt Lake Tribune, which published an
assertion that it had in its possession a
letter from Governor Stevenson INV
father to the Mormons, which
showed that he was hand in glove with
the members of that Church. This was
OF course falsehood both in regard to
the author of the document and it's con-
tents, as is proven by the letter itself.
This w. H. Homer is Mormon who de-
clared himself at Bellevue last September
as believing in polygamy and asserted
that he would not take the test oath for
anybody. This is the man Dubois has to
do his dirty work. Does it not show who
IS seeking Mormon aid and support in
this campaign"
The letter was percisely such one as
IS usually issued prior to a political cam
paign by State or Territorial Committee
to the different County Committees, urg-
ing vigorous action, the formation of
clubs, etc. 1t did not contain line. word
Or syllable which could possibly be con-
'trued into solicitation for Mormon sup
port or cooperation. The use to which
was put by Dubois only shows his
scarcity of campaign material and his
desperate strait for little political am
The manner in which he oh
aimed the harmless document, however,
indicates that he is tolerably solid with the
dormons. That is the most significant
act developed in the entire affair. The
'ecretary's complimentary remarks con-
ernlng the DEMOCRAT and the assurance
i the approval of its course by its Idaho
eaders, while exceedingly gratifying to
s, we refrain, for obvious reasons, from
publishing.

RESULTED FATALLY,
Henry Dalton Dies From Wounds
Received GA Friday Night.

Last Friday night drunken row
occurred at Beck's Hot Springs, in which
Henry Dalton, resident of Centerville,
Davis county, received wounds which
have now resulted fatally.
Dalton was driving to his home in
company with man named Parlev P.
Evans, also resident of Centerville, and
it was when they had gotten as far as the
Springs that their spree came to sudden
termination. Both men were thoroughly
drunk, and on their way from the city
they commenced to quarrel over some
thing. When at the place above men
toned they began to clinch, and in their
helplessness they fell from the seat to the
ground. A man who was standing near
by rushed up and separated them. and
it was then found that Dalton's right
| arm had been fearfully fractured and
that he was otherwise badly bruised.
He was taken to the Deseret Hospital.
and while his wounds were seen to be
serious, there was no apprehension at
the time of fatal result He, however.
grew worse on Saturday, and yesterday
morning at an early hour died. It
seems that in the fall from the wagon.
Dalton had struck the ground first, and
the weight of his own body and that of
Evans had come upon his arm. The
bone snapped, and, breaking through
the flesh, it pierced the skin and also cut
an artery. There was a very free flow of
blood, and it was from this and from in
ternal injuries that the man died.
Evans, who was at the time too drunk
to realize what had happened, drove on
to his home in Centerville. Late last
night he heard OF the result of Dalton's
injuries and this morning he came to
town and presented himself at the Mar
shal's office for arrest. Evans saws that
both OF them were too drunk to know
anything and that the fall was a mutual
one, of which Dalton was unfortunate
enough to get the under side. AS there
has been no inquest or other investiga- |
ton of the affair, Marshal Dyer did not |
arrest Evans, and the latter left the Office |
with the assurance that he would be on
hand should he ever be wanted.
Both men bore good characters and it
is hardly likely that an investigation will
prove any malice on the part of either.
Evans is anxious that the matter should
be probed and he feels sure of being

DISSENSI0N In ZION.
Workings I'm and About the s'PeO-
ple's,, Convention.

The Peoples" Territorial Convention
met at the City Hall this morning, and
after organizing and appointing COM
mittee on credentials, the meeting adj
journed until tomorrow at Up. m.
Without disparagement to the fact that
the matter of who shall represent ''this
people" in Congress will be finally
settled by the say of the Apos-
tolic George, there is still reason
to believe that there is less
outward unity among the sanity dele
gates this year than at any previous
meet. OF course the "vote" will be an
understood thing long before it is taken,
but there seems to be more or less of an
effort on the part of different delegates to
influence Lord High Executioner Cannon
in favor OF their respective candidates.
The 'Centre Stake of Zion" will stand
by John T. Game to the end, Brother
Richards having been left out in the cold
entirely. 1t is well known fact that the
latter decided not to become County
Prosecuting Attorney and had his as
sistant, Mr.. Moyle, put in the place for
the very reason that he (Richards) had
his eye on the Utah seat in the House of
Representatives. But, alas he is doomed
to disappointment The brethren con-
slider him weak, and his Congressional
goose is therefore cooked.
Weber county and the north in general |
seem bent upon having Joseph A. West |
carry off the honors, and Utah county,
and the south is trying to work up a |
boom for Judge Dusenberry.
If each section stays by its own man,
Of course Game will be re-nominated, but
n case the north and south should decide
% pool their issues the centre stake
would not stand so good show.
1t is possible that George @. has not
yet settled upon man, and in this case
he influence OF the delegates may have
to do with the result of the
'delegatorial" revelation which John
Taylor will receive tonight.
The whole matter will, however, be
nut and dried ere the rising OF another
un, and before that same sun sets again.
wo more would-be Congressman will be
helved to fade away with Brother Rich

The Wealth Of the Residents.

OF the earlier Presidents Washing
ton was the wealthiest. When he
died, his estate at a moderate valua-
tion was worth 100000. Adams was
poor man, but independent in his
last years, thanks to the management
OF his wife. Jefferson was wealthy
when he became President, but lost
his property and died insolvent. His
home was sold, and his daughter was
saved from want by the generosity
of South Carolina, which gave her
$4,000. Congress bought his libra
ry and with this proceeds his debts
were paid. All Of his descendants
are poor.
Madison left a handsome property,
and was wealthy when President.
Congress bought his manuscript pa
pers, paying $4,000 for them. Mrs.
Madison's son, Payne Todd, squan-
dered her property, and in few
years after her husbands death, she
was poor. His estate was valued al
$2S0,000 in 1916.
James Monroe died insolvent. lie

of his wife, and died in New York.
