AN OVATION TO SENATOR DUBOIS.
nohse People Greeted Him More a. a
COnquerOr Than a Loser.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. Ex-senator Dubois
left for Washington this afternoon. He
was accompanied by Secretary Walsh of
the democratic national committee, The
senator's departure was made the occa-
SION OF an impromptu demonstration,
whlch look on such proportions that an
uniformed observer might have thought
IL to be in honor Of conquering hero,
rather than tribute to a defeated can
didate. There was great enthusiasm
SHOWN, and 1t was apparent that Senator
Dubois. In defeat, was followed by the
good wishes of a great multitude of his
fellow citizens.
ABOUT half an hour before the time for
the train to leave the band In front of the
capitol played an inspiring air. This
was the signal for the gathering of the
crowd that packed the sidewalks on both
sizes OF the streets. In response to re-
peateo calls Senator Dubois appeared on
the motel balcony and made few re-
marks, thanking the people for their man.
hesitation or confidence and esteem. He
said he had done what he could to serve
the interests of the people of the state
and that he would rather go down in de-
1eat with the record that he had made
than to be elected as a result of treach-
cry to his constituents
A procession was then formed, which,
led by the band, escorted the senator to
the depot
The depot platform was thronged and
number Of leaders were called on for
speeches, among them w. e. Borah, Eli
Jah Hawley and Willis Sweet.
The latter said: II am still in favor
OF the election of United States senators
by a direct vote of the people. If proof
or the necessity of this principle were
needed, 1t was amply furnished by the
result reached in our senatorial contest
yesterday"
Mr.. Sweet closed by giving expression
to the conviction that seven out Of every
ten of the people of the state would
have supported Senator Dubois 4
Dubois Parting Words.
Senator Dubois was again called He
said:
Il believe the people of the state who
nave supported me for ten years are in
sympathy with my course and indorse
my official acts. have never given them
a pledge that l have not fulfilled to the
best OF my ability. When l gave my
pledge on the silver question l intended
to stand by it. 1 never made a single
pledge that did not satisfy my consci-
ence.'
Continuing, Senator Dubois said he be-
lieved the single gold standard to be of
immeasurable injury to the people, and
that prosperity could not return until a
change was brought about. II thank
you for this demonstration" he said.
1t Is worth a thousand times more than
any election secured by betrayal of the
people"

declares he can do this. The average
cost OF all charges on n ton OF snlphu-

He says he can work these sulphurets
ut n present expense of $40 and may
he able to bring the charge down to
$15 ton, in time. A saving of SIC
