THE, SENATORIAL FIGHT

is daily assuming greater proportions.
The north has two candidates, Hon. Will
liam H. Clagett, of Shoshone, and Hon. w.
]. Mcconnell, of LataQ. These gentlemen
had meeting at Spokane Falls few days
since and agreed to stand shoulder to
shoulder for their section upon the meet
ing of the legislature and the one that re-
ceived the least support was to make the
way clear for the other. Governor Shoup

Gratis will probably cast a complimentary

ties that have attended othe cleo
tions in Bingham and Oneida counties

OF the session will without question de-
velop great deal of s'skulduggery'' and
prove of much interest to the average
reader The Sun and Statesman, the former
a Mcdonnell and the latter Dubois Jour
nal, are at swords points, aiming their sat

proaches. 1t would be useless to estimate
THE STRENGTH OF THE RIVALS

themselves. Whoever may be elected with
the legislature as at present constituted
| will be but the representatives of a rotten
! borough, opposed to the best interests OF
| the state of Idaho, and their votes upon all
important subjects will be found with
those who are pursuing system of legal
lied robbery against the west.
