are the strongest candidates for the
honor.
1t is understood Senator Dubois will
have a letter read before the state
committee making some suggestion on
the Mormon situation. The exact ma
ture of this letter is not known, though
seemingly well founded rumor is
afloat that he will not recommend
radical action. but will lay special en-
phasis on the imperative necessity Of
defeating the proposition TO hold con-
stitutional convention for the purpose
of revising the state constitution in
order to blot the test oath from the
statutes. This is regarded as the first
battle-ground, and he and a large con-
tingent of Republicans all over the
state will unite TO agitate for the de-
feat Of this Mormon measure.
II is altogether likely that the Dem
Ocratic state committee viii declare
emphatically against the proposed
scheme to call a constitutional con-
VentiOn.
