WANTS TO GET IN THE UNION
What Delegate Dubois Says of the
Claims of Idaho to Admission.

Mr.. Dubois, the delegate from Idaho, is now
in the city to remain for the session STAR
reporter asked him what steps his people had
taken for the admission of Idaho.
"A voluntary convention was held" he re-
piled, ''for the purpose of framing constitu-
ton. 1t met July and remained in continual
session for thirty-four days. There were
seventy-two delegates selected and at no time
during the deliberations was there a lack of a
quorum. There was no politics to speak of.
The nbiest men OF the territory, representing
all interests. were delegates. 1t being volun-
tary body and held without authority of law
there were no lobbyists representatives of
rsms' to bother and in consequence We framed
a constitution suited to our conditions and tu-
ture. l have often heard it remarked that

Very. ga ny and polygamy are forever
prohibited, and no one is allowed to exercise
the privileges of citizen who belongs to an
organization which teaches or practices these
crimes. Our constitution also forbids the car
rying OF any flag in public procession except
the American flag. We want q state for those
whose highest allegiance is to the United
States, or else we want no state at ALL
Have you all the requisites for statehood?''
Every essential think We have more
than 100000 people, abundant resources to
support a state government and our people
earnestly desire it. We have framed a consti-
tuition republican in form which has been rati-
ned by vote. These are all the requirements,
as j understand it."
DO you expect politics to enter into the
question of your admission?''
Il sincerely hope not. 1t is very uncertain
as to whether Idaho is democratic or republi-
can. Its political compile xion is more doubtful
than that of Montana. This should preclude
politics from being factor in the case"
How do you find the sentiment among the
Senators and Representatives,
Il have met number since my return and
have yet to find one opposed to our admission.
We desire to present our claims and have them
| decided on their merits, regardless of the
| merits or demerits of any other territory or
consideration. We think that We are fairly en-
| titled to admission and want the question de-
cided ON our claims a. presented"
