BOISE, Ida, Sept. 2.-The revolt
among the Kootenai county Repubh-
cans is of extreme significance. 1t
means that fully one-half of the Repub
licans of Kootenai county are in oppo~
sition to the Republican ticket, and
they have indorsed the Democratic
ticket, more especially the legislative
portion of it. Kootenai is the extreme
northern county in Idaho,
The cause Of the revolt primarily is
Mormon dictation in politics in Idaho,
so hagrantly illustrated at the Poca-
tello convention. The direct and local
cause was the domination Of Mr.. Heitt-
man, the local boss in kootenai county,
who is working In harmony with Gov.
Goodlng, the State boss Of Idaho, who,
In turn, is ably controlled by the Nor"
mon hierarchy, who are the real bosses
of Idaho politics
Who Headed Revolt.
Senator Dubois was in north Idaho
weeks ago and reported that unsettled
conditions of affairs in the north, which
was eagerly commented on by the
Idaho Statesman, the Evening Capital
News and other Mormon papers. But
theE printed in great headlines few
days ago that Mr.. Borah had gone
north and seen the leaders, and all diff
ferences were settled, and that he had
especially arranged affairs with Dis
Statesman, Judge Morgan was at the
head of the revolt
1t may be recalled that Judge Nor
gan is the son of the exChief Justice
J, T. Morgan, and that as ayoung man

Mormon methods, when his father, as
Judge, made his great reputation In
his discrimination on all mooted ques-
tions of law affecting the legal deter
''Edmunds act. - The first trial in the
United States of Mormon held under
the Edmunds act, was in the court pre-
sided over by e1.Chief Justice J, T,
Morgan, father of the present District
Judge. The younger Judge knows the
Mormons.
The advice is freely given at Demo
cratic headquarters that Mr.. Borah will
be called to almost every portion of the
State, and he is advised that he had
better continue his tour of fixing up
the dissatisfied.
Decide to Support Democrats.
Hon. s. P. Donnelly of Kootenai
county, former chairman Democratic
ENLSIS committee OF ludnO, is IN BOISE
tonight. He said "There was meet
ing of the leaders of the dissatisfied
Republicans of Kootenai county at
said point last Friday, and they unan-
imously decided 10 support tho entire
Democratic ticket. These leaders
were guided by a positive sentiment
among the rank and file of the Repub-
leans of their county against the Re.
publican machine of both State and
county. Sentiment averse to Mormon
interference in Idaho politics is very
apt to cause a landslide to the Demo.
cratic ticket in the five northern coun-
ties.
Borah Visit Did Little Good.
