DEFEAT OF DUBOIS.

At last the Idaho legislature has
elected a United States senator TO sue
coed Senator Fred Dubois. The gen
tleman elected is named Henry Heitfelt,
and represents Nez Perez county in the
Idaho legislature. Nothing further
than this is known of him. He is said
to be without any particular educa-
tional qualifications, and so far as the
public outside of Idaho is aware, he is
in no way qualified to fill the very high
position to which he has been elected.
1t may be that he viii prove to be the
right man in the right place; it is GER
tainly to be hoped that he may.
But it seems to US that the re-elec-
ton of Senator Dubois would have been
the proper thing at this particular
juncture. The great question of the
day is still that of the free coinage of
silver. though at present it is in abey-
ance. Senator Dubois has proven his
devotion to the silver cause in the
senate and stood the supreme test at
st. Louis. He is an able champion of
free silver, and if silver ever needed
able champions it is at the present
time. The fight is yet to come and
unless there be able leaders there will
be but small hopes of success. It is a
time when the friends of free silver can
i'll afford to trade off tried leaders for
untried ones. no matter how able they
may prove to be in future. It is not at
all certain that the Idaho legislature,
unwittingly and unintentionally, has
given a setback TO the free silver
cause That body has rejected a tried
man and taken up with an untried one.
Of necessity the latter cannot hope to
attain the same prestige and influence
IN the councils of the senate for sew
eral years that the former one has.
During that time the gold forces viii
be aggressive, and they will be enabled,
with some show of plausibility, TO say
that Populism and the free silver
cause are identical The defeat OF
Senator Dubois, at this time. appears
to be somewhat of rebuff to the sill
yer cause.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-29
LET THERE BE A CAUCUS.

The deadlock in the legislature over
the election of a United States senator
continues. The way out of this dead
lock was indicated by The Herald
Wednesday, when it suggested that a
caucus OF the Democratic members of
the legislature be called. The need of
a caucus must be apparent TO all by
this time. Without it the balloting
may continue day after day with no
election. And what objection can there
be to a caucus? 1t would bring the
Democratic members together and
they could soon ascertain what the
prospects are for such action as VIII
bring about the election of a senator.
If a caucus is called no conditions
precedent should be exacted by any
one; and if any seek to exact condi-
tions precedent. they should not be
granted.
Not a single valid objection can be
made to a caucus. Balloting for SEN
ator has now been going on for two
weeks and the end seems no nearer
than when it began. Thus far the only
result has been to increase the number
of ballots. The public desires to know
how long the piling up of fruitless bal
lots is to continue. If they did not in
terfere with regular legislative work
the public would not be so anxious
over the matter; but it does interfere
with this work, and interferes very
materially with 1t. Public interests
must be considered, and that a speedy
IL.
there should be a breaking of the dead
lock over the senatorial question. 1t
can be broken by a caucus, and at
present that seems to be the only way
to break it.
There can be but little legislative
work proper done until the senatorial
deadlock is broken; the soonest and
most effectual way to break that, un-
less a senator be elected forthwith, is
to call Il caucus. Let one be called,
for the people are firing of the dead
lock-
