the conclusion Of the discussion ris-
inc vote was demanded. With shout
the thousand delegates rose and the
resolution was declared unanimously

According to the Washington repre-
the resolution adopted by the National

government of the zone is as good as
that of any locality in this country
My relations with the Panama gov

E. Borah, republican candidate for the
United States senate, took up the is
sues presented by Senator Dubois and
treated the senior senator rather
roughly.
II am not in favor of bringing per-
sonalities into campaign" he said,
but since he has seen fit to attack
me. think that have perfect right
to answer him. / regret that he has
started personalities in this campaign.
There is way to play politics with
out indulging in personal abuse of any
candidate, and this Is much the more
dignified way"
Mr.. Borah then referred to some of
the arguments Dubois had made.
MI. Bubois made insinuations that
was Mormon bishop. He charged
me with being i'm sympathy with the
Mormons. He states that / owe my
nomination to combination with the
Mormons."
Mr.. Borah then reviewed the work of
the campaign showing that 1t had been
a combination Of Ada, Boise and Can
on counties with the solid delegation
from the four northern counties that
nominated him.
"Mr Dubois asks a number Of ques-
