save themselves, the party and
those who have been misled by
him from the consequences OF their
madness? Shall they not fight to
the utmost this old enemy. who,
under false pretenses of friendship
and repentance for former injustice
done the party, is now doing great

At the Lewiston convention,
contrary to the will of the MAORI
ty when expressed as their own
Judgment, he foisted upon the poo
pie OF the state under the name OF
democracy, a sectional and relig-
ious fight that has no place and
never had under a democratic

was once said that Dubois came
into the democratic party;it should
now be said that the democratic
party has gone into Dubois, and is
no longer the democratic party in
Idaho but is the Dubois party.
The last convention took the action
that it did, not because the party
wanted it to, or because the dele
gates wanted to, but because Du-

whelming and unmistakabie defeat.
The ticket named by the con-
vention and left after the withdra-

unjust and unnecessary disrepute,

substantial growth by advertising
to the world a condition which
does not exist.

Dubois is undemocratic and the
