ID spsssh y The Legislature
/ Following il the speech made By Sen
ator Dubois vt the Joint session Of the
two houses Of the legislature wednes-
day Of last week.
"Mr. Speaker. ladies' and gentlemen,
members Of the legislature:
Pour years ago was invited to ad-
dress the joint members after the cleo
tion OF Mr.. Heitfeld No United states
senator over myself; and recall now
with great pleasure that 1 said to them.
e hope the people Of Idaho will stand
behind Senator Heitfeld and uphold his
hands In the great light which he would
have TO make there for their Interests.
and am glad to be able TO say today
that Senator HeitfeId has not east any
vote 10 the senate which myself would
not have east.
.'Of course am very proud at this
moment. 1 am looking into the faces
Of men who have conferred upon me
the highest distinction which can be
given 70 an American citizen. There is
no position 80 lofty, II it comes 70 one
honestly, as seat in the senate OF the
ULited States; and every one Of you
know that neither directly nor indi-
rectly did you receive one dollar from
me, and not one Of you exacfed any
promises or pledges from me. Zap
planse-) Then why should not stand
before the people of my state and feel
proud? IL eomesto me, this great hon.
or. not through any merit of mine, not
through any superior ability, bat IL
comes AS a reward for servises per.
formed ia Washington during the ten
years was there, (appIause3 and the
only thing can do 10 show my appre-
citation is to represent the people OF this
state fairly, and to he faithful to their
interests; and hope that during the
coming six years viii be as true as
was during the ten.
ut pleased the people Of Idaho when
Governor Hunt lapplause), at the very
start of his administration revoked that
perniciOus, outrageous, un-American
permit system in the Occur d'Alenes.
i(AppIause) And it will please the PEG
pie OF the state still more when be re-
moves martial law. Great applause.)
II is not good for any community any
where to have soldiers stationed there,
as guards nor to have continued martial
law. AS the governor says tersely in
his message, tShoshOne county is as
peaceful aud quiet as any county Of the
state Where there is continued mar
tiaI law the citizens become sullen and
resentful against the law officers. and il
the state cannot preserve the law with
out the continued presence Of the sol.
diers we had better quit being state.
1T is my judgement that there will
be continued quiet in the Occur d..
Alenes, and believe the feeling all over
the state will be better than it las been
for years
81 am not going TO make any speech
at all because it is not fitting time OF
coca sion; but / will read TO you a tel
gram which | received last night from
Washington, which reads as follows
Fred I. Dubois, Boise, Idaho. -Four
of the old guard salute you. Your elec
ton is not only q personal qualification
but sign of hope for the new democ-
racy. Pettigrew, Teller, Cannon
TOwne.' (Applause.) As you know
they were my party associates when
left the republican party in 1895. w
have been in perfect accord ever since
IL had been our plan some time ago
about the 4th of March TO make join
and public announcement of our posi-
ton: but, in as much as they have sen
me this telegram, am very glad to sa.
now that, so far as / am concerned
there is no better democrat in the stat
than am. Tremendous applause)
intend to 60 into the democratic eau
Gus, (applanse). ana think violate n
confidence when / say that Senate
Henry Heitfeld is going there too
(applausel And with this new democ
racy of The state and a continued nom
ination Of United States senator il
convention, we viii keep this part
, above any reprOach of scandle: we wi
, take out Of it any corrupting influence
connected with the election Of Unite
States senator and will. hope, keep tn
democratic party in power in this stat
for the next 20 years.
"Iwish TO say to my republican friend
of the legislature that they took yer
high and digniiied course when the
voted for the honored leader of the
, party. Senator Shoup was deserving {
, this compliment. He is my person,
friend aud has been for 20 years. 1t
no personal qualification to me that
shall lose his place IN the senate: but
n is a great personal qualification that Il
: principles maintain and which ID
! democratic party maintains have bee
! indicated by the citizens at home.
81 thank you very much and will n,
take your time any longer" (Applaus,
