SAYS DEMOCRATS
WILL SURELY WIN
Senator Dubois of Idaho Full Of
Enthusiasm.
HIS STATE WILL BE IN LINE
HAS LOUD PRAISES FOR RAW
Inns, YOUNG AND KING.
HIS STATE WILL BE IN LINE

L
Idaho was in the city yesterday.
He came down from Blackfoot on
personal business, but found time 10
give enthusiastic reports to his friends
OF the political situation in the neigh
boring state. Senator Dubois has been
keeping close watch on political affairs
in Utah recently and can see no reason
why the Democrats should not sweep
the state at the election in November.
IN fact he believes this will be a Dem
ocratic year in the entire intermountain
country.
The Democrats viii win easily in
Idaho" he said. ITO begin with, the
state is Democratic, and We have
a strong ticket. Our party is
united and aggressive for the
principles Of Democracy. There is
no division on principles, and there are
fewer disappOlntments on account of
checked ambitions than is usual
Republicans Disorganized.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
are completely disorganized, and can
not get together. w. Z. Borah of
Boise. who was the silver Republican
nominee for congress in 1896, and a
convention in 1898, is in full charge of
the Republican party. and is its candl-
date for the United States senate. Mr..
Borah dominated the Republican state
convention, and as chairman OF the
committee on resolutions, forced the
adoption of plank declaring that all
the raw material and manufactured
products used by trusts should be put
on she free list
Some embers of the principles which
induced Mr.. Borah TO quit the Repub-
lican party evidently slumbered in his
conscience. Unfortunately, the old line
Shoup Republicans fear that Borah is
in earnest. and that he will vote as he
desires, If elected senator. instead of
voting according to the orders of his
party leaders. The Republicans of
Idaho know as we'll as everybody else
knows, that the Republican party does
not intend TO revise the tariff in such
a manner as to hurt the trusts. Mr..
Borahs plank in the state platform
prevents the Republican party in Idaho
from making a campaign on the over
shadowing issue before the people.
The Republican party Of Idaho is not
in favor Of Mr. Borah's trust declara-
ton. President Roosevelt Mark Han
ma, Speaker Henderson, Senator Platt
of New York, Senator Quay of Penn
sylvania and the trusts are not in favor
of IT, If the Republicans of Idaho dis
cuss the tariff and trust questions at
all, they Will repudiate Mr.. Borah and
his platform.
1T must be borne in mind, however,
that Mr.. Borah is the recognized leader
of the younger element of his party in
the state. and of the silver Republicans
who have gone back to the old party.
and that his leadership must be recog-
nized.
Idaho Is Safe.
Idaho is absolutely safe for Democ-
racy and viii elect its splendid state
ticket with Governor Hunt at the head
and return a senator and congressman
TO continue the battle against the trusts
and monopolies and for the people.
II read carefully about your state
convention in Utah. and am encOur-
aged 10 hope you will win the contest
here. The issues are the same here as
with us. and the people surely viii as
sert themselves With such splendid
candidates as Young and King and the
magnificent record of Senator Rawlins
there should be no doubt Of the result.
When a state has in the United States
senate SuCn an dDSOlulely honest nom
orable. incorruptible man. of such high
order of ability as Senator Rawlins
possesses. they should be proud No
scandal can ever come TO Utah through
Joseph Rawlins.
"AH of US who were associated with
Senator Cannon in the senate and were
with him during and after the trying
events leading up TO our abandonment
of the Republican party, appreciate his
unusual abilities as an organizer and
his devotion to principle. His integrity
and his ability are never questioned.
and II needed only the splendid tribute
which Democracy paid him in select
ing him for the manager of the cam
paign, 10 round out the line Of battle
in its completest detail.
7 sincerely hope and am led to be-
lieve you will win the fight"
