against Borah and Gooding and Brady.
They have decided to bolt. AT meeting

the campaign was decided upon ae fol-

Those participating in the conference felt
that 1t is time for the Republicans of Koot.
email county TO act, inasmuch as the so called
Republican county ticket put up at Occur
alene Six weeks ago was dictated by one
man and that innsmuch as the methods used
at mat convention are un-American and con.
trary TO the principles OF Repub!icansm and
the further fact that the various candi.
dates named on that ticket were not chosen
by the boss on account OF their quail hcations
to fill the various offices, but that, on the
contrary, they were chosen because they were
men whom he could hest control and be.
cause these candidates are all members OF the
ring; that seeming TO be the only necessary
qualification for them to have in order to
receive n nomination at the hands Of the
boss.
For the above reasons and for the fur
ther and paramount reason that il appeared
to those present, after having made careful
investigation of the feeling throughout the
county having spent five weeks time in
cleaning information the subject, that
there was large percentage of tho Repubh
can voters OF kootenoi county who demand
that ring rule be broken and bossism crushed
in this county for all time ii is the unani-
nous opinion OF all those present that de-
oisive action be taken TO defeat the so.called
Republican county ticket and that in taking
such action no principle OF Republicanism
will be violated.
Kootenai has always been counted upon
as solid for the G. o. P. In 1894 the
county gave Roosevelt 29s7 plurality, The
Socialist vote was 664,

Borah made a trip recently. He found
things badly mixed In fact. the last con-
vert 10 the hierarch's crowd in the Gem
State left the county feeling that his
name in that locality was Dennis. with
a great big d. He found the Republicans
in the county engaged in row over To-
cal affairs. This difficulty, he believed
could be adjusted, but when il came 10
submitting to the demand of the church
gang he found that another thing. In
fact he was told plainly that the deal at
Pocatello was too raw for the masses;
that he and Brady and Gooding might
promise the hierarch but when II came

not cha ttels 10 be sold like slaves. to be
delivered in chains to the twenty SIX men
who dominate the Mormon church. He

Nez Perce gave Bryan a plurality of 16;

Borah a black eye and will return Dem

will vote for Fred Dubois.
Borah made several discoveries on his
recent trip through the northern part of
the State. One was that while he and
Gooding and Brady could meet In caucus.
Ak UP a slate and force it through a
convention. that when il came TO deliver
ing the votes that was different. Real
Republican voters, who believe in the
principles of the party, decline TO be
whipped into line. Many Of them wear
a G. A. Il, button in the lapel Of their
coat their sons wear a bronze button as
a Philippine veteran, Both fought for

did It, and now TO be olassed as a slave

In chains and directed 10 vote for men
who represent a reasonable organ
ization TO the Government for which they
fought is more than they can stand, hence
there is a revolt. There will be a land
slide in November, they say.
Fred Dubois stands before the people
OF Idaho as a candidate for Senator TO
succeed himself In the United States SEN
ate He stands as the representative OF
The American home; as the repre5en-
tative OF free men and women. He has
fought a great fight In the Senate, He is
making one now, He Is in a different
position from an ordinary candidate. He
is flghting for true Americanisn. He Is
practically doing this alone. He has not
n single paper In the capital city OF his
state for him. He has the best part OF
the weekly press of the State for him.
and they are doing great work In his
behalf, but he is handicapped in Boise
by not having a paper 10 help his can
didacy This is TO be regretted, but out
side papers are making n fight for him,
and a great fight, TOO.
headquarters OF the church Republi-
cans have been opened in Boise. Chair
man Brady is in charge. He will remain
there during tine carupa ign, except the
time required 10 visit Salt Lake, confer
with The hierarchy and take back the
fund the church has set apart 10 buy
Idoho. Poor Brady. The Senatorial bee
buzzes about his head constantly,
He wants TO succeed Hepburn. To
do this he would crawl TO Salt Lake
10 kiss the feet of the hierarch II neces-
sary. His race. however, is nearly at an
end Idaho Republicans have had enough
of Brady Together with his two part
ners, who comprise the triumvirate OF
Idaho he will be relegated in November.
