Mother and Wife Of Thaw the Best
of Friends According to
the Latter.

New York, July 31.-'1 wish you would
deny the stories sent out yesterday about
the falling out between Harrys mother
and myself" said Mrs. Harry X. Thaw
when she visited the Tombs today to see
her husband. 1T is an Infamous lie,' she
continued we are the best of friends,
both working for Harry's best interest
Mrs. Thaw was then asked about the re-
port that Tbaw and his mother had disa-
greed over the method of conducting his
defense.
You may deny that, too, if you want
to- replied Mrs. Thaw. ut is not true.
AS far as 1 know they are getting along
famOusly."
Mrs Harry K. Thaw was joined at the
prison by Roger OMara, the Pittsburg de-
tective, and the two went together TO
visit Thaw. O'Mara said that his work
would keep him in New York for a few
days.
Three witnesses who offered voluntarily
to tell what they know about the Thaw

District Attorney Gavan. One of these
examined is said to be nurse employed
in a sanitarium in this city, where Evelyn
Nesbit was a patient and where both Har-
~ K. Thaw and Stanford White are said

DUBOIS IS NOT MENTIONED
Democrats of Fremont County, Ida.,
Elect Delegates to State
Convention.
Especial to The HeraldO

Rigby, Ida, July 8.-The Democratic
convention of Fremont county convened
in Rexburg Saturday with a goodly num-
Der of delegates from ali over the county
in attendance.
Eli McEntire of Rexburg was made tenn
porary chairman, with B. H. Miller of St
Anthony temporary secretary. The usual
committees were appointed, which result
ed in John Il. PinCOck being chosen per-
manent chairman, and George Z. Hill IT,
OF Rigby, for permanent secretary
A resolution was adopted instructing the
delegates to the state convention to be
held at Occur d Alene city on August 6
to work against the Endorsement or nom
iration Of any person there for United
States senator. No mention was made of
the name of Senator Fred T. Dubois.
The platform adopted arraigns the pres
ent state administration for its reckless
ness and waste of public money; also for
the rotten land deals carried on during
the past two years, and mentions the land
grabbing case in Fremont county that
was secretly turned over to few large
sheep owners.
The mention of the name of w. J,
Bryan brought forth tremendous applause
and the platform pledged the Democrats
ton and election to the presidential chair
in 1908.
Party Organ Needed.
The convention also decided that the
party in Fremont county needs an official
organ. and a committee was appointed
composed of c. II. Woodmansee James
Langton and George E. Hill, jr., to work
out the details of establishing such a pa
per in this county in time to aid the
party during the fall campaign.
The following persons were elected del
egates to the state convention: J. D.
Millsaps and B. H. Miller, ST. Anthony;
c. H. Woodmansee c. G. Keller and III
j. Flamm of ReXburg; George e. Hill
jr., Rigby; Wesley Gibson. Menan; John
E. Pincock. Sugar City; S. c. Clay, Ar
cher; Jesse NJ Baker, Teton; A. d. Miller
jr., Parker.
The prevailing sentiment was that a full
delegation should attend the state con-
vention notwithstanding the great dis
lance. A feeling of bouyancy pervades
the Democratic party of Fremont county
and from present indications it has a very
good chance of winning in the county
election. This is partially brought about
by the open split in the Republican ranks
Ever since they held their county con-
vention bitterness and dscord has pre-
vailed. The Teton Peak Chronicle and the
Rigby Star both Republican papers, have
been roasting the party leaders in this
county because the convention instructed
for 'Borah. 1t looks as though the Re-
puhlicans will be Worse handicapped in
this campaign than the Democrats were
two years ago. This year the Democrats
are getting together and the e. o. D. are
fighting among themselves and in the
meantime the people are thinking that
return to the all tried and true Democrat
ic principles would be beneficial to all.

delegates, or q grand total of eighty-six
in the convention. Seventy-one will be
necessary to nominate any candidate, so
that Mr.. Brooks is assured of victory.

State Treasurer w c. Irvine, who
waged a hard fight in Converse county is
now out of the race. James +. Cosgriff.
the other gubernatOrial candidate, Will
probably secure a delegation instructed
for him from his own, Carbon county.
Sheridan county may also go for Mr..
Cosgriff, and now that Mr.. Irvine is out
of it Johnson county, strongly Irvine,
may be induced to vote for Mr.. Cosgriff.
These three counties would give Mr.. Cos
griff a total of fifty-three delegates, and
even if the counties of Fremont, seven;
and Sweetwater nine, should go for Mr..
Cosgriff, he would not have sufficient
strength to land the nomination.
Laramie for Brooks.
Laramie county, the largest in the state,
is known to be strongly for Brooks and
Schnitger, the latter for state treasurer.
1t is alleged that deal is on here to de-
liver the county to Mr.. Cosgriff, but this
movement will undoubtedly be headed off,
and the delegation instructed for Mr..
Brooks.
For state treasurer Edward Gillette of
Sheridan appears to have a walkaway.
Northern Wyoming will demand his NOM
nation and if the wishes of the north are
granted Mr. Schnitger, the Laramie coun-
ty candidate will be defeated.
Leroy Grant, the present incumbent. is
the only candidate for state auditor. He
comes from Albany county. which will in
struct its delegation for him.
No one has yet been mentioned for sec
rotary of state, but several good men are
considering the matter and announce

Dwelling on the urgency of the question,
he described the Transvaal as the nerve

Judge o. F. Thompson, Jacksonville, Ill
INV Dear Judge-If the effort to IN
duce MI Sullivan to resign from the ma
tional committee fails, l wish you would
deliver the following message to the Derc-
ocrats of Illinois:
''You live In the largest of the western
states. and must play an important part
in the work which lies before the Demo
cratic party You can do little to advance
Democratic principles so long as you per-
nit the most fundamental of those prin-
ciples. namely, the right of the majority
to rule to be violated. Mr.. Sullivan was
selected as national committeeman by del
egates who were not chosen by the con-
yention. AS he was one of the leaders in
the high crimes and misdemeanors COM
mitted against the Democracy of Illinois.
his refusal to resign cannot be attributed
to ignorance Of the fact, but is proof pos
tive of his unfitness for the place.
