count, but So persons present. We sim

NOMINATING A SENATOR.

The fusion conventions VI idaho took
IN important step toward the election Of
United States senator by direct vote
at the people when they nominated Hon.
Fred 7. Dubois a. their candidate for
senator. SO long as this Office IL made
elective through the medium Of the leg
islature there are many reasons for con.
vention nominations. In the krst place
the method removes the incentive for .
corrupt use Of money throughout the
state in securing legislative candidates
favorable to some ambitious individual
who is willing to purchase senatorial
honors with hard cash. In the second
place, unless legislatures wholly disre-
gard the voice Of the people as expressed
in convention through their delegates,
they are honorably and morally bound
20 support the nominee oi the conyep-
ton, this makes short work OF the
election; prevents 4 deadlock and en-
Ablss the legislature to proceed with
other business. The nominee also
adds 10 the ticket the strength OF his
personal and political following which.
il he has been selected for his fitness
and ability, brings much strength to the
ticket. This is notably true in the case
OF Fred T. Dubois. II lie admitted on all
sides, by Republicans. Democrats and
Populists, that his nomination by tie
fusion Convention showed the greatest
political wisdom. The people OF Idaho
are for Dubois fret. last and all the time
They remember his devotion to silver
and his unselfish efforts for his state,
aud his candidacy will bring many votes
to the fusion ticket throughout the state.
We believe the result will demonstrate
the wisdom OF his nomination by the
conventions. and that the reiorm-for
such we consider twill become a fix.
ture with all political parties OF Idaho.
