Central Committee. Boise, Idaho:
MY Dear Mr.. perky--I am IN re-
ceint OF letter from Nh Towne, in
forming me Of his experience IN Idaho,
and the general situation there. ON the
whole, he seems to be wei satisfied with
the outlook However, quite TO my sur
Prise, ne stated that there are a few
Democrats that are not giving their
cordial support 20 Dubois, for United
States senator, and that there Is sus-
nIcion In some quarters that certain
Democrats would like TO bring about a
situation that might be so handled as
20 elect some Democrat 10 the Senate.
/ sincerely hope that Mr. Towne may be
mistaken In this regard surely, every
consideration, both OF good faith and
good politics, urges the loyal support
Of ex-senator Dubois by every Demo-
crat In the State Of Idaho, and the sue
cess Of his candidacy for the Senate
He Is the regular nominee OF the
Democratic State convention, and no
loyal Democrat IN Idaho can consist

addition TO this plain obligation. the in
terest Of the party In Idaho and in the
country at large. requires that Dubois
be returned 20 the Senate, n possible.
He Is a very strong man. and he Is per-
fectly loyal 20 Democratic principles.
lie Is one Of the foremost leaders In
movement that means much for the
success and future OF the Democratic
party. II men like Teller. Dubois and
Towne, are not treated Justly by the
Democratic party, II Will both deserve
and receive the reproach OF honorable
men, and win lose a vast amount Of
strength with which Il cannot afford TO
dispense ] sincerely hope and trust
that every Democrat IN Idaho viii sup
port Mr. Dubois, and labor honestly for
his return 70 the Senate OF the United
States. We need him there.
Very truly yours
