Boise, Ida, Jan. 2S-TWO ballots We're
taken today for United States Senator,
and without change from former lines.
Fifty-two members were present
Clark had paired with Browne. The
vote, each time, was: Sweet, is; Shoup,
10; Claggett, 10. All points towards a
change in the situation tomorrow, and
all three factions are in caucus tonight.
Shoup men. tonight, positively de-
clined to put up their money on straight
SWeet-Shoup lines, though a, few nights
ago they were around locking for such
bets. However, they are willing 10
wager tonight that Sweet will not be
elected. 1t is claimed that several of
Shoup's supporters will tomorrow go
over to w. E. Borajh, a Boise man.
This may be master stroke to break
the ''solid 49, for Sweet, though it is
patent, at this time, that Shoup men
are becoming more quiet in their de-
meanor. In this hour it certainly looks
like Sweet or a third man. The
Popu-ists will stand pat for Claggett
on tomorroW's ballot So soon as Shoup
forces enter the third man it viii be
readily disclosed whether the sold 49,
intend to switch on a new issue or
stand firm on the lines from the early
beginning. Indications are they, TOO,
will stand pat.
The solid 10" again met to have a
love feast tonight and are determined
to stand by Sweet until the end of the
session. 1t is now conceded by knowing
ones that Browne, Gamble and Dewey
were in it to tie up matters and compel
them to take up a third man, and that
third man would be Browne as a com
promise according to the wiles of the
trio of strategists. but both sideN are
now alive to the game. Ali goes to
show that not one of the three would
vote for Shoup if they believed their
votes would elect him.
The plot is thickening.
Nothing Done Yet.
Three weeks of the session has slid
into the past, and they haven't done
anything yet.
All day yesterday, the solons, and
others interested in the senatorial
fight, sat around the hotels or grouped
on the street corners and talked things
over.
I There are many men Of many minds
no mistake.
It does look as though the people of
Latah county figured somewhat on
Sweet for senator. They hung Gamble
in efiev I'D there. Then Brown was
gazing to resign his seat because his
fellow member had been so treated.
But his constituency" wired him he
was on the right track-to not mind a
little thing like that. Then Browne
tore up the letter of resignation he
never intended to file.
/ What constituency Means.
I When this cruel war is over, The
Herald correspondent will take up
what some people call "constituencv''
and pass upon 1t as it is believed to be
during these times. As sort OF gen.
tie reminder that not all of Gamble
and Brownies people looked upon their
actions with favor, they sent down a
petition to the third legislative assem-
bly, of Idaho, asking that Sweet be
elected United States senator. 1t was
signed in ink by those men who
dropped their little white winged bal
lots into the box last election. 1t was
sent down by DR. Harvey, president OF
the Republican club up there. and the
brief note accompanying it said the
signers had all been got within ar
hour. I saw that petition-there were
100 names upon it.
The Herald For Facts.
Advices to the capital are that ''tht
people who are DESTROYS Of knowing the
| true status of affairs on the senatorial
matter make it a, point to read the Sal
Lake Herald" 1t shouldn't be an!
other Way-the people want the truth
! they are getting it without colorins.
It does look as though tomorrow
would let some light shine in. If not
the dark horse may be forced to thu
front.
