ARE TO PUT UP DUBOIS
IDAHO SILVER REPUBLICANS WILL
NAME HIM FOR GOVERNOR,
Friends OF the White Metal VIII
Have an Opportunity to In
dorse the Senator

Boise, Idaho. Sept. 2l.-The silver re-
pubhcans of Idaho are juoilant tonight.
The ticket nominated by the first con-
vention was never satisfactory to any
great number of people. and the fact
that an active war was waged against
ii by some of its candidates made it ab-
solutely necessary that it be recon-
structed. The one idea in making up a
new ticket is to have nothing to DO with
the populists. Judging from the ex-
pressions of delegates within reach and
with full knowledge of the wishes Of
voters throughout the state the follow
ing accurate forecast OF the ticket to be
placed in the field next Saturday can
be made: Governor. Fred 4. Dubois;
congressman, w. h. Borah; supreme
judge, Edgar Wilson: secretary OF state,
W. H. Watt; auditor Bartlett Sinclair;
treasurer, Tim Regan; school superin-
tendent, M. It. Cowley; mine superln-
tendent. b. f. Hastings.
Watt, Regan and Hastings are demo-
Gratis. Their nomination, and the fact
that Secretary Walsh has said that such
a ticket would be recognized officially by
the democratic national committee. will
win to its support many or the demo-
cratic voters of the state Senator Du-
bois is in the east, and does not know
or the determination to run him for gov
ernor. The object of this is to let him
receive the fire of the McKinleyites the
only purpose of whom in this state is
10 defeat him for reelection to the SEN
ate.
Borah, ldaho's brilliant young orator,
who could have had the nomination for
congress two years ago, said tonight that
he was willing to make the race and was
ready to be billed for two speeches a
day till the close of the campaign. Even
the McKinleyites admit that his appear
ance in the field means the defeat of
Captain Gum, the populist nominee. An
interesting note in this connection is the
fact that Borah is the son -in-law of Gov
ernor Mcconnell. But the republican
committee had already made arrange
ments to send Governor Mcconnell over
into Oregon, where his speeches for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver with
out waiting the action of any other ma
ton on earth are not so well understood
as they are in this state.
The Ada county silver republican con
vention, which adjourned from last week
until tomorrow, will probably take fur
ther adjournment to await the result OF
the new state convention. The silver
republicans have secured control OF the
Evening Mail, and will have a daily or
gan throughout the campaign.

Boise, Sept 2 - A telegram received
from Lewiston states that the silver re-
publicans and democrats fused in Idaho
county on the legislative ticket giving
the silver republicans two out OF three
members Information from all parts of
the state show that the members are de-
nouncing the attempt to force the cleo
ton of United States senator from the
populists.
In several counties democratic conven-
lions have already fused with the silver
republicans, and in nearly all others
where the conventions have been held
strong minorities have bolted and Joined
the silver republicans A prominent pol
itician said tonight that a state ticket
with Dubois at the head for governor
should poll $1,000 of the $4,000 votes he
sides electing all the county and legisla-
tive tickets. This will give the masses a
direct opportunity TO vote for the indorse-
ment of Dubois.
