Boise, Idaho, Jan. 6.--The republican
senators We're in caucus all afternoon
and did not conclude until late this
evening. The fight was over the posi-
ton of president pro tenn, The senator
ial question entered into the matter,
and as Senator Bierbower is IA Shoup
man, he met with determined opposi-
ton Finally however, the opposition
broke down and BORROWER was elected
by reclamation. Following is "a full
list of the senate attaches. President

| The senatorial situation has changed
| but little. Both sides make claims of
having a majority. but 1t is the judg-
! ment of your correspondent that Sweet
! at this time has the best of it. II a
caucus We're held now he would prob
| ably have % votes. This counts all of
the north. all of the southeast, two
| votes in Washington and two i'm Can
yon and two i'm Owyhee. Krane of
| Kootenai is openly working for Sweet,
reducing the possibility of uncertainty
| in the north To three votes. Cozier is
claimed to be against Sweet, but his
| vote is confidently counted by the Sweet
men.
| The situation is reflected in the fact
that the Sweet leaders are pushing for
an early caucus. while the Shoup forces
talk of postponing it. While this is the
situation now. the lines may break at
any time and influences are at work
today which may bring about an early
change.
The salient feature is that there are a
number of votes put in the Sweet col
umn that are not there by the personal
preference OF the men who are to cast
them. There are three in the north. one
in Canyon. at least me in Owyhee and
one in the southeast. Such votes are
extremely uncertain. 1t has been said
that Gamble, Henry. Coden and Cozier
would vote for Hepburn, while the pref
erences of several others are for him.
Hepburn has not arrived here yet.
His coming may rally some of these
votes to his support and give him the
balance of power. In that event no one
could tell what the outcome would be-
1t is also possible that caucus will not
be held. Although Sweet and Shoup
both favor caucus earnestly, each has
some supporters who may refuse to go
into caucus. There are some Shoup
supporters who would rather take the
chances of a free-for-all in joint conven-
/ ton, and there are the dissatisfied
Sweet men who would prefer to cast
their votes for Sweet, If at all. in joint

Boise, Idaho. Jan. 1.-THE caucus to-
night resulted in nothing. The same 10
men were present. They discussed the
matter in a general way and adjourned
until Monday night. There has been
no change whatever in the situation.
OPPOSED TO SWEET.
Boise, Idaho, Jan. 1.-THE senatorial
question is assuming a serious aspect.
Mr. Derham of Dernham & Kaufman
of Moscow Is here trying to whip Repre-
sentative Gamble into line. Gamble
is one of Dernham & Kaufman's debtors
and Dernham is undertaking by intim-
idation to induce Gamble to vote for a
repeal of the homestead and exemption
laws and also to support Willis Sweet
| for United States senator. Mr.. Gam
BILE, however, coming from old Presby-
terrain stock is poor character to be
| forced to do something against his CON
victions. He now declares himself ut
terly opposed to Willis Sweet and his
methods and is backed by kilograms
numerously signed from his county.

statement to you was that if | We're

a candidate before the legislature. and
that in the event of such defeat your
vote would be worthless to me. In my
Judgment this was a sufficient reason
for you to enter the caucus if you in
tended to assist me. If you made pied
ges to the people of Latah county,
have no power TO hold you to them
nor have l the power TO release you
Your contract was with them, and it is
for you and them to settle whether
you have been faithful to your trust
when you return to them and render
an account of your stewardship.
