populistic and socialistic element III
the democratic party, or what Ii
generally called Bryan democrats,
! did not support Parker; second, the
thousands of democrats who have
J voted the republican ticket since the
J advent Of Bryan have remained and
will remain with the republicans.
By no other course of reasoning can
Parker's small vote in the electoral
college, smaller by far than Byran 3,
be explained. Roosevelt's personal
popularity was potent factor, but
there was deeper reason. Nampa

If the followers of Senator Dubois,
many of whom waived their own iudc.
ments because they we're willing to
trust in what they considered to be
the superior political foresight and
knowledge Of the senator, want to
force the party into a repetition of
the experience Of this year, they in
turn will be forced into repetition OF
the results of the year also. This Is
not written in sense of threat,
but merely as a caution as to what
the sentiment of the people is regard
ing the matter. Pocatello Advance,
Mormon.
In Idaho, a stinging rebuke has
been given Dubois and bossism. Not
one county, so far as this writing,
went demOoratic, everything being
lost as result Of the guerrilla war
fare waged by Dubois, the political
usurper and Mormon hater. There
Is no misunderstanding as to the
attitude of the democratic party to.
ward Dubois, and the verdict Is too
plain for that. The work Of purifca-
ton commenced will go on, and the
political atmosphere will hereafter
be more wholesome with so much rot
tenness removed. Sugar City Times,
Mormon.
One feature of the state election lie
the immense number of democrats
who remained away from the poll.
We say democrats, because repubIi- /
cans do not fail to cast their ballots
to a man, and therein Lies the secret
of their sweeping victories In Wash |
ington county, 100 registered votes
were not cast. In Ada county 2, 600
registered votes were not cast. The
same proportion carried out all over
the state would make mass Of voters
more than equal to Gooding's
and if they, or the bulk of
them, are democrats, as We believe
they are, they would be sufficient to
have defeated Goodiug had they been
cast. -Weiser Signal.
As to the national and state
tickets, republicans cannot claim all
the credit, for loyal democrats, we
mean democratic democrats, by the
thousands, made use Of their oppor-
unity to repudiate Dubois and
Duboisism and they voted with Us
and deserve credit for the result and
or their moral stamina and good
sense. The viilany OF Dubois Ii con-
