CLAGETT MAY RECEIVE A
LARGE VOTE TODAY.
IL Il Understood That the Judges
Friends VIII Give Him an
Extra Boost.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Boise. Jan. l1.-To-morrow promises
to be critical day In the senatorial
contest. II got to be pretty generally
understood to-day that the populist
caucus would again present Judge
Clagetts name Tomorrow or Tuesday
and that he would receive higher
number of votes than was cast for him
on Wednesday. Ii is well known that
Judge Clagett had control of the pop
ulist caucus and that his friends have
been waiting until such time as a suf
ficient number Of democratic votes
could be secured to elect him. At a
caucus held this evening there was a
pretty even division on a proposition
to again present his name tomorrow.
Another meeting will he held In the
morning. and II is quite possible that
the move will be determined upon for
to-morrow's ballot. II Clagett's name
is presented Ii will he because his
friends believe they have democratic
votes enough To elect him.
A leading democrat said to-day that
in his opinion. Clagett's name would
again be presented Tomorrow or Tues
day and that he would fall one shor.
Of election. This information tallies
exactly with another feature that
came to light tonight which was &c
the effect that strenuous efforts ar,
being made to induce one or two OF thg
silver republicans to remain away from
the ioint session. There is a possibility
however Of bolt from the popalisi
caucus, as some Of them feel bitteI
over the treatment of their favorlts
There was great activity in the Clagett
camp to-day and those who maintain
that the republicans are assisting hin
