The threat of the democrats
through Senator Dubois and Shair-
man Donnelly to disfranchiss the
Mormons if given the power can
have but one effect in Idah1 poll
tics and that would be to ALLEVIATE
almost the entire Mormon vote
from the democrats. That vote
has been a considerable factor in
that party, ard without it the de-
mocracy would cut a sorry figure
in a campaign. OF course if the
senator can scare the Mormons into
voting the democratic ticket, as
some well-informed politicians ba-
lieve to be the object of his attack,
that is horse of q different color,
but with the democrats in the mi
nority in Idaho and Utah, the
threat of the senator would seem
to be not at al serious.

THERE is not much politics in
old Kootenai at this time so far as
surface indications go but there is
any amount of very fine work
going on just the same. If we
mistake not we shall see some
strange demonstrations of the old
adage that politics make strange
bedfellows, before another year
passes by. Some of the proposed
deals and methods would prove i'm
mensely sensational if served up
in print But all are keeping quiet
now and mum is the watchword
all along the line. AS Josh Bill
lings would say of some Of our
county politicians, they are anus
in cusses" to say the least.

SENATOR w. A. CLARK of Mon

the numerous publications owned

pointing out that the Montana to-
narza copper king just fills the bill

new man not Objectionable to either
wing of the party. Clark support
ed Bryan and yet he is rich enough
not to excite the distrust of the
Wall street wing. Mr.. Clark's il
come is said to be $15,OO0.000 to

say nothing of his Mon tana mines

richest campaign fund ever known

unknown person who said he defrauded
the state out of the amount during
the last legislature The name OF
Sidney Brakeman was signed to the
voucher for the money. Brakeman
was not at any time an employe OF

he secured the warrants of the amount
by forging the name of Brakeman.

there was wholesale forgery going on
