question Senator Hepburn said:
"We have the assurance now that

tion will be thoroughly discussed at

and the sentiment established by

that congress will, at an early day,

After expressing his views upon
other questions of national import
ance, the reporter asked the Senator
what he thought of Senator Dubois
assertion that "the Mormon question
would be the paramount issue in
Idaho" To this question, Senator
Hepburn replied as follows:
81 do not agree with Senator Du-
bois that the Moamon question will
enter largely, or at all, into the
coming campaign. There is no is

knowledge those of them who sup
port the republican ticket do 1t upon
principles entirely distinct and sep
arate from those upon which Sena-
tor Dubois seeks to place the re-

Spokesman-Review of yesterday, in
which he says that polygamous mar

protection, and Senator Dnbois says
he stands for the protection of the
industries in which Idaho is pecu-
lla,ly interested. That is a praise.
worthy sentiment, and a position
that Will not be attacked by the re-
publicans of Idaho. But Senator
Dubois knows from long experience
in political life that government is a
question of mutual concessions, and
that in order that Idaho may receive
the benefits of a tariff policy which
he stands ready to support, he must
know that other sections of the
United States that do not produce
the peculiar character of raw mater
ial which he enumerates as the pro-
ducts of Idaho, do produce other
raw marerials and manufactured
products that would be benefited by
the same policy of protection which
he rejects on behalf of raw material.
If Idaho were legislating alone up
on the question of tariff and could
make her legislation effective for
the whole country, such policy as
that suggested by Senetor Dubois
might commend itself, subject to
the change of sel6shness.
"However, when the campalge is
opened, Senator Dubois will find
that there is no shortage on polite
al issues fairly and squarely repre-
sentlng the position of the republl-
can and democratic parties.
"1t Is true that Senator Dubois
did act in entire harmony with the
Idaho delegation on many of the
great questions that were before
congress during the last session.
He is valient and efficient fighter,
and there are few, if any, men in
the United States senate who know
better how to accomplish a given
purpose than Senator Dubois. He
gave loyal support to the great
economic measures that were enacted
into laws during the last session of
congress. They were great meas
ures inaugurated under republican
administration, passed by republl-
can congress and signed by a re-
publican president. Their great
ness and necessity were so evident
that even the democratic party
could find no grounds upon which
to oppose them and SO logged grace

publican party and being at the end

The above ticket was placed In
nomination by the republican state
convention, which was held in Poe
atello Wednesday.
For the past three or four weeks
the political barometer had indicated
that there would be a spirited and
somewhat bitter contest waged at
the convention over the question of
nominating a candidate for United
States Senator. As the date for the
convention drew nearer 1t became
evident that which ever faction won
IN this fight, there would be more
or less soreness felt by the defeated
faction and the success of the party
in November would be jeopardized.
With this situation starring them in
the face, the party leaders. who
gathered at the Gate City on M on
day, began to hold caucuses with
the view of bringing about a peace
full and harmonious settlement of
the situation. That such a solution
was reached, great credit is due to
J. IL. Brady, chairman of the re-
publican state committee. Although
confident that he held the winning
hand and could have controlled tie
convention, he foresaw the effects
of carrying the fight into the con-
vention. and realizing that the best
interests of the party demanded
united action, he graciously with
drew his opposition to the nomlna-
alton of United States senator and
entered loyalty into the work of
cementing the factions. After this
had been accomplished, as far as it
was possible to accomplish such a
result where the wishes of SO MANY
different oaes had to be appeased,
Mr.. Brady gave out the folio wing
statement for publications:
81 am satisfied with the outcome
OF the peace negotiations While

this seems to be the will of the duly
accredited delegates of the republi-
can party in Idaho. am loya!
enough a republican to accept it
without reservation and to Loyalty
support the expressed wishes of the
party in convention assembled"
BY his action in this mattar Mr..
Brady gained the friendship of
many who had been fighting him
vigorously on the senatorial ques,
ton.
The other men most deeply in
terested in the settlement of this
question, were Governor Gooding
and w. e. Borah, and in order to
accomplish that for which each was
striving, it was necessary that each
should give and take certain things
and it was only by doing SO that
the white winged dove of peace was
finally permitted to perch upon the
republican roost.
1t was hardly to be expected,
however, that these men, with the
aid of their close advisers, would be
able to arrange things to the COM
plete satisfaction of all the dele
gates, and there was an attempt
made by Shoshone and Fremont
counties and scattering delegates
from few other counties, to break
the slate that had been agreed upon
at the peace conferences. In this,
however, they were unsuccessful,
except IN the nominations of can
didates for superintendent of schools
and mine inspector.
In agreeing to the harmony plan,
the north demanded certain places
on the state ticket. These were con
gresham, state auditor, treasurer
and superintendent of schools, and
Idaho county presented the name of
E. L. Carpenter for the last named
Office. Some of the parties to the
conference seriously doubted the
wisdom of not giving that Office to a
lady. But it was finally agreed that
! Carpenter should go on the ticket.
When this became known Wed
nesday morning, the lady politicians
who were present Immediately got
their hatchets out and they made
it decidedly interesting for the
delegates, from then up to the time
when nominations were called for
the office of superintendent. That
the work of the ladies, augmented
by that of the gentlemen advocates
of lady for thet Office, had made
itself felt, was shown when the roll
