THE BOLTING
REPUBLICANS
Many Grievances Cause Split in
in the Party

That an instruction among north
Idaho republicans is imminent was
indicated by conference at the Spo-
kane hotel last night between Judge
r. T. Morgan and A. A. Crane, wheel
horses Of the party in Kootenai coun-
ty, and Senator Fred T. Dubois, says
the Spokesman Review.
Judge Morgan and Mr.. Crane pre-
ferred that nothing be said about
their visit at this time other than
that they were making social call.
Senator Dubois was urged to explain
the nature of the conference.
1.-THE fact is, said he, "there is
a serious revolt among the republic
cans of Kootenai and Shoshone coun-
ties against the dictation of O. L.
Hoffman the political boss of that
judicial district, and much dissatis-
faction because of the compromise
between Boarh and Gooding through
which the delegates from those coun-
ties had to support Borah after hav-
ing declared strongly against him in
the county convention.
None of the conferees was willing
to be quoted to any greater extent.
Dilligent inquiry among others versed
in Idaho politices resulted in the
practical unanimous Interpretation
that Morgan and Crane are preparing
to lead the "antimachine' faction of
Kootenai county republicans in open
revolt and that a formal statement
will soon be issued declaring their al
legiance to Dubois and Stockslager as
the only means of remedying condi-
tions that they deem intolerable.
If Kootenai and Shoshone counties
are carried by Dubois his adherents
declare he will be reelected. The
disaffection is expected by them to dc
to the republicans of north Idaho
what the anti Mormon issue is eX-
pected to effect in the southern coun-
ties. They explain that Borah and
Dubois have heretofore been closely
identified on most issues, having
stumped the state on the ticket in
1896 and in 1898, and that their
strength is remarkably similar. The
Dubois followers claim Custer and
Lemhi counties without doubt, and
say the fight will be in Gilmore,
Blaine, Boise, Washington, Lincoln
and Owyhee counties, with condi-
tions favoring Dubois.
1t has been learned that some time
prior to the state convention of the
two parties, Borah and Dubois held a
conference anent the senatorship il
which Borah's chances of securing
the nomination we're discussed, a
was also prospects of victory in the
ensuing election. Neither seemed t.
think it would be possible for Borai
to secure the nomination at the time
as he was opposed by what was know
as the machine" element of his par
ty. 1t was also, according to tn,
current report, their joint opinion
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1906-1907, 1906-08-13

that Borah could more easily defeat
Hepburn, two years hence, than Du-
bois at this time, even were he NOM
mated.
The contest for the nomination
found Borah opposed by Brady and
Bettay, with the machine" backing
Brady for senator and Gooding for
governor. Kootenai county delegates
were instructed to support Gooding
and oppose Borah at all turns, the
opposition of the latter taking the
form of opposing any action by the
convention towards the nomination
of senator. Borah succeeded in get
ting the support of three of the big
Mormon counties in the southern part
of the state and was thus enabled to
effect compromise with Gooding
and Brady, whereby the latter retired.
This left many sore spots among the
Hoffman wing in Kootenli county,
many of whom argued thai Borah was
as much of a democrat as Dubois,
having written a tariff reform plank
at the 1902 state convention, and
that if democrat must be nominat-
ed, Dubois would be preferable, ow-
ing to his established influence. Two
elements are thus working for Dubois
and Stoclslager in that county.
COUNTY DIVISION is A FACT.
The proposals to separate Shoshone
and Kootenai counties into different
! judicial districts, and to make two
/ counties out of Kootenai, is another
factor in the fight. The Hoffman
factor has secured the enmity of the
Occur d'Alene and Standpoint rcpub.
licans, who fear that Hoffman seeks
to block their plans to establish q
county seat at Standpoint. The fact
that the two republican judges held
the act of the last legislature, provid
ing for the division of Kootenai
county, unconstitutional, and that
Judge G. o. Stockslager, the demo,
cratic nominee for governor, upheld
the act, is another element that il
counted upon to lend strength to the
democratic ticket in these counties

bois was merley a desire to renew
