SOLID FOR DUBOIS.

Gratis will not be so enthusiastic for
their Legislative ticket, for the reason
that many Democrats appreciate Du-
bois' labors for idaho, and are not so
partisan as not to acknowledge that
they have been proud of him as Ida
hos delegate. There is nothing
mean nor small about great majori-
lty OF Boise county Democrats, and
although many will vote their ticket
straight, their friendly feelings to-
wards Mr. Dubois will prevent their
working with a vim for the Legisla-
tive candidates on their own ticket
If there is Republican in BOISE
county who IL not for Dubois for SEN
ator, first, last, and all the time, he
has not heen found up to date. Not
a single delegate to the county con-
vention last Thursday knew Of Re-
publican in his precinct that was not
for Dubois. A resolution was
adopted, with but one vote in oppo-
sition, pledging the candidates for
the Legislature to stand solidly and
firmly by our ex-Delegate. The del
egate who opposed the resolution is
a strong Dubois man, his reasons for
opposing being that Dubois had
stated that he was willing to take
his chances before the Legislature,
without pledges being exacted from
candidates. Before the vote was
taken the caucus nominees for the
Legislature were called upon to ex-
press their views in regard to the res
olution, and all expressed strong
preference for Dubois, and consid-
cred it their duty to work and vote
for him for the reason that the party
was thoroughly united in solid ranks
for the man who has done so much
for Idaho, but they thought it would
be better not to be placed under so
strong pledge. The convention
took different view, expressions OF
| delegates being to the effect that the
party was solid for Dubois, as were
also the candidates, and the voters

and the pledge would be a guarantee
that they would. The work of the
convention went along quietly until
speakers fayorably mentioned the
name of Dubois, which. in every in
stance, was followed by enthusiastic
applause. The candidates consented
TO the resolution, and it passed with
but one dissenting voice, as before
stated. The Republicans have pu,
up a good Legislative ticket. S. c,

the county, as everybody we'll knows,
and has been instrumental in bring
