REPUBLICAN REVOLT
IN NORTHERN IDAHO
SpOkeSman-Rev Version of the Much
Disputed Judge Morgan Bolt.
Facts in the Case

The following is portion of the
Spokesman-Review's account of
the alleged Morgan bolt from the
republican party, which the repub-
lican press of southern Idaho has
been denying and the democratic
press has been affirming and re-
peating:
That an insurrection among north
Idaho republicans is imminent vas
indicated by a conference at the
Spokane hotel last night between
Judge r. T. Morgan and A. A.
Crane, wheelhorses of the party
nj Kootenai county, and Senator
Fred T. Dubois. Arthur ]. Shaw,
a republican of Spokane, was also
present.
Judge Morgan and Mr. Crane
preferred that nothing be said
about their visit at this time other
than that they were making a social
call. Senator Dubois was urged 10
explain the nature of the confer
ence.
''The fact is, said he, g there
is a serious revolt among the re-
publicans of Kootcnai and Shoshone
counties against the dictation of c.
L. Heitmau, the political boss OF
that judicial district, and much dis
satisfaction because of the conpro.

The proposal to separate Shoshone
and Kootenai counties into differ
ent judicial districts, and to make
two counties out of Kootenai, is
another factor in the fight. The
Heitman faction has incurred the
enmity of the Occur d. Alene and
Standpoint republicans, who fear
plans or to establish a county seat
at Rathdrum. The fact that the
two republican judges held the act
of the last Legislature, providing for
the division of Kootenai county,
unconstitutional, and that Judge c.
o. Stockslager, the democratic NOM
inee for governor, upheld the act,
is another element that is counted
upon to lend strength to the demo
cratic ticket in these counties.
Judge Morgan has been disap-
pointed in seeking q denomination
in his district, and the Heitman
faction is charged with the respon-
sibility for it. He explained last
night, however, that the reason for
his pilgrimage to Spokane to visit
Senator Dubois was merely de-
sire to renew old friendships, hav-

conquest of Morocco. Then he took his

silence in the chamber No one ap-
plauded him or replied to him. He

The Berry-Pulford damage suit from

any reasonable sacrifices necessary to
assure such safety
Secretary Bonaparte talks plainly in
favor of a naval reserve. He says the
navy should have a reserve of at least
10000 able bodied, trained men. He
says that if the government gets ma
val reserve it must pay for it. and he
opposes a mere nominal payment. He
says:
THE assurance that 10000 thorough
ly competent seamen could be secured
at any moment for our fleet would be
well worth $5,0O0,00O year! indeed,
as mere matter of economy this would
be a good investment, since it might
obviate the necessity of maintaining n
large number of ships in commission IN
time of peace, so as to be assured of
having them ready in time of war.
q suggest, therefore, for your CON
sideration and that of the congress.
the propriety of allowing every able
bodied man of good moral character,
within certain limits of age, who has
served at least four years in the navy
and been discharged with credit. to be
enrolled on a reserve list. in return for
which he should receive from SIS to
s25 per month, according to his rating
at the time of leaving the service"

Senator Bailey Declares He Was
Not in Pay of Any of The
Oil Companies.
REPLIES TO OPEN LETTER
Asserts Powerful interests He Has
Fought Are in Plot to Ruin
Reputation.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 7-Senator Bal
with H. Clay Pierce and the Waters
Pierce Oil company in a statement
which he made public last night. His
defense is substantially as follows:
That he never received a cent for
services rendered to the oil company.
That he borrowed various sums from
Mr.. Pierce, but merely on the strength
of their personal acquaintance, and not
because of any connection on his part
with the oil company.
Theft Responsible.
That the entry on the oil company's
books of $4,000 paid him probably can
be explained by the fact that an en-
ploye of the company stole $4,000
which he turned in to repay a loan
from Mr. Pierce.
That he repaid every dollar which
he borrowed from the oil man.
That instead of being a corporation
man he is the victim of an attempt on
the part of powerful interests which
he has fought to ruiz his reputation.
Replies to Open Letter.
Mr.. Baileys statement was made in
reply TO charges contained in the re
cent open letter of Attorney General
Davidson that he had received money
from the oil company as shown by
entries on the company's books and
by vouchers.
His answer embraces more than six
thousand words. He begins his state
ment by denying the general charge
that the Waters-Pierce Oil company en-
tered Texas under his guidance. He
says that he was never consulted about
the dissolution of the old Waters
Pierce Oil company and the reorgani- |
zations Of the present company. If any
honorable man can be produced who
will swear that he ever had any con-
nection with the Waters-Pierce Oil
company. except such as he has publ
icly stated, he promises to resign his
seat in the senate.
