Perkins Forces Confident of
Success.
: CCCESSION TO PALMER

BOISE. Idaho. January 12.-The lower
house of the legislature has unseated two
Dubois members from Binghamton county
Three democrats voted for their retention
The ground upon which this was done was
the alleged irregularty In printing the
names of the candidates on two ballots.
This point had been decided by the SUI
preme court in opposition to the stand
taken by the house A singular fact is
that the governor and several other state
officers had their names on the two tickets,
ard the same conditions prevailed on other
county tickets. 1t Is claimed by Dubois
friends that the action of the house will
react In his favor.
SALEM. Ore. January 1.-THE sixteenth
biennial session Of the Oregon legislature
has convened. The senate organized by
the election of Joseph Simon Of Portland
as president and adjourned. The house
made no organization, owing to a contest
over the speakership and the vote for
United States senator will therefore be de-
'ayed until January rs. as the statute pro-
vides that the vote for senator eanuot be
taken until the second Tuesday after Or
sauization- The delay in organization was
brought by those opposed to the re-elec-
ton of Senator Mitchell to gain time. The
speakership contest has narrowed down to
j. Bourne (poruiisU and H. l.. Benson IRE
