The funniest thing that comes out
u the Iiaho campaign to date Is the
story that prominent Murnons are
desertiug Dubois and are joining the
church movement 10 defeat him for
reelection TO the senate.

notion performed great service. t,e.
cause what he lacked la conveying
real information las aiote than made
up in comforting amusement upon
tile entire population of our neigh
i,or state aud upon all the people who
possess knowledge OF the movement
In that commonwealth. IL Is true
that Dubois has driven a good many
pretended democrats away from their
pretended support by his campaign
10 secure the enforcement oi the Con-
stitutIon In Idaho: hut they nese;
were prominent As democrats
They we're merely prominent" In

Naturally Dubois did not expect the
support OF these people; mnst OF them

What Is knosn as 'stringing" Is a
fasoiite occupation on The part Of
Idaho men: the play Is called Josh
