Senator Fred T. Dubois is quoted
by the New York World as saying:
Local conditions are favorable
for democratic success in some Of the
western states. Roosevelt is very
popular in that section, and would
carry all the states west Of the Mis-
souri, river by large majorities IL il
was a question of his personal popu-
larity
His party is weakened and b. is
hurt BY local troubles, however.
In Idaho the people are thorough
by aroused over the Mormon question.
The democratic party Of the state has
declared unequivocally that poly amy
must be suppressed, aud that the
Mormon church authorities in Utah
shall not dominate the politics az
idaho.
1t is an Issue which affects orr
homes aud cur citizenship. Our
best Womanhood aud manhood are
involved.
''The dictatina u the church
leaders in politics and the open
polygamous living Of the highest
officials OF the church have become
not only intolerbble, but menace.
The support Of the national demo
crazy and its unequivccaI declaration
in its platform will materially
strengthen the party in Idaho,
In Colorado, the usurpation of
Law and the harsh and indefeusible
methods Of tie state authorities
against labor organizations have
alarmed Law aud order people. The
republican party will suffer net only

In Washington state there is
railroad war more intense than the
war in Wisconsin.
The people OF Washington have
endesvored to create a railroad COM
mission and to restrain the railroads
by legislation. Governor Mcbride
stood for the legislation desired by
the people, but was defeated for ne.
nomination by railroad influence,
and 4 raIlroad attorney was nomin-
ated. A large section Of the republi-
can party, led by such leading
republican papers as The Spokesman
Review, is in open revolt. In
Wisconsin the fight Is between two
factions Of the republican party, one
standing for, the other against rail-
road legislation. In Washington q
laFge-very large-section of the
republican party stands ready to sup
port the democratic ticket as it only
hope for remedial legislation.

will carry any or all OF these states.
IL would be unwise for republicans
TO claim them under existing con-
ditions. IL republican national
speakers go west they can not avoid
these local questions, on which the
national democracy Is all right, aud
on which the national republicans
are either silent or all wrong.

On n guess the visitor SAID MY, anu
the clerk laughed.
Il have heard SuesSes on that ne
said, ..aIl the way from 80 to 500,
and from men who have handed
money for years. The fact Of the ma1-
ter is that with five dollar goldp1ece
on one scale you would only have TO
put six and one-half dollar bills on the
other scale to balance it,
THE question afterward was put 10
several people and elected answers All

guessing from 300 to 800
Taking the weight OF gold coins ana
bills given at the treasury, it was CUR
ed that five dollar Eoldpiece weighs
.29G of an ounce avoirdupois. The en-
ployee at the treasury who handled
the paper money said that 100 b1lls
weigh four and one-half ounces, Inat
would make one bill weigh 40 of an
ounce, and between six and seven b1iis
would balance the goldpiece.
On the proposition OF now much
money enc can lift, figures were OBJ
tained at the treasury Where certain
numbers OF coins were placed in bags
and weighed as standards. for exam
ple the standard amount of gold coin
is $4,000, which weighs 1S1a pounds.
Five hundred silver dollars weigh 3o1a
pounds while 5000 in halves. or 400
coins, weigh eleven pounds.
Two hundred pounds of coin money
of various kinds is made up as tol-
