and reiterated the statement that the
question was a serious and forcible one
In the nation. He said in conclusion
that he might personally be defeated
but the principles that he was advo-
eating would never be defeated. His
address lasted nearly an hour and he
was loudly cheered and applauded at
intervale through his talk. 1t showed
then that the convention was with him
and 1t hardly looked as II the tide could
turn regardless Of the many speeches
made against the adoption.
H. G. Redwine Of Lemhi next took
the floor in opposition and delivered
one Of the most stirring addresses OF
the day but all his statements. while
eloquent could not break the Dubois
strength. At the conclusion OF the
speech he offered the following amend
ment to the amendment:
1--WE favor the enactment Of such
legislation as is necessary to carry into
effect letters and spirit Of each and
every principle of ST. Louis platform
and pledge our party IL successful t.
pass such legislation" 5A
The amendment was accepted but
the question was still left open to de-
bate and Judge Flenner OF Ada count!
took the floor in favor Of the origina
Amendment and made a stirring an
lively speech. He was repeatedly in
terrupted by different members on tn
floor who asked for information a. +

discussion and he was quick and read,
to reply Instantly. His apparent hume

and seriousness caught the house and
he was chered to the echo.
At this time a commotion was ap-
parent in the lobby and an investiga-
ton developed the fact that J. D. Mill
sap Of st. Anthony. a Mormon SYM
pathixer and J. g. Brown Of Blackfoot
an anti-Aormon man had gotten into
an argument. Brown made q pass to
strike Millsap but friends interfered
and they patched up the quarrel
without serious consequences.
Mr.. Casady Of Idaho county next
took the floor and announced that he
desired to deny the report In circula-
ton that "in exchange for the solid
support OF Idaho county in favor OF
the Dubois resolution" that they had
been promised patronage. He denied
this in emphatic terms. Idaho county
saved the day for Dubois and last night

gamy question was involved before the
test oath became a law. In the course
of his address Morgan of Latah county
interrupted him by permission and
asked a few pointed questions on what
he termed as his distinction of the
poygamous marriage. Mr.. Hart made
some reference to difference without
distinction when Morgan again in
terrupted and asked him II he know
what the distinction was in North
Idaho. He said the only difference here
is that polygamous existance was con-

DUBOIS IS THE VICTOR
DESPITE OPPOSITION
Democrats Settle the Mormon CONTROVERSY on
First Ballot in Favor Of the Dubois
Resolution.

Fred T. Dubois turned the tables in
the democratic state convention today
and won a signal victory on the anti
polygamy resolution which was pre-
sented this morning by c. H. Jackson
of Ada county. That Senator Dubois
has no peer in the manipulation of
things political Is now conceded. His
defeat last night on the Mormon ques-
ton was not considered serious. 1t was
known that he would not submit 30
easily to the defeat Of a question that
he has labored his life time in Idaho to
oppose. 1t was stated at the close Of
the convention last night that the
question would be brought UP for con-
sideration. Caucuses were held after
the convention had adjourned at nearly
o'clock and it may be said that there
was no sleep for the friends Of Dubois.
They were manipulating the situation.
The old cry Of "Pocatelloizing' the
Mormon element seemed evident. That
good work was accomplished by the
Dubois following can not be disputed.
After the great outburst Of eloquence
had been spent by both sides on the
question the result showed too well
how the manipulations Of Senator Du-
bois had won out. The vote was over
whelming and resulted in 1T Sis for
the Dubois resolution against 1O7 Till
against it. ..
1t was 10:2 27 this morning before the
convention WAS called to order by
