If a vote were taken in Kootenai
county today, Senator Dubois would
be endorsed by a vote of to 1.
The same would almost have been
true of Willis Sweet two years ago,
and yet Willis Sweet could not
carry our county convention. His
defeat was directly attributable to
the acts of his supposed friends in
aiding and abetting the Mcconnell
forces so that union of the Sweet
delegates was political impossi-
bility. The HERALD has reason to
believe that treason is again Turk
ing in the county and that certain
of the Senator's supposed friends
are again conniving with the Nc
Cornell men to defeat Dubois men
if they can not themselves be the
benefciaries of the Senator's popu-
larity in Kootenai county. The fight
is for principle-not Doodle, nor
office, nor patronage. Put only
such men on guard as can be in
fluenced by none Of these.
