Perez county. who is now visiting the
city, was shown the foregoing dispatch
last evening. He read it with great
interest, remarking that it reflected
the situation as he understood it.
Continuing. Mr.. Schuldt said he
made no concealment of the fact that
he was very earnest in his support of
Mr.. Borah for the senate and that he
felt it was necessary that he be nomi-
mated at the state convention for the
position.
He thought Mr. Borah the man for
the place and he was satisfied it would
add great strength to the ticket for
the convention to thus set forth the
choice of the people. 1t was his opin-
ion that Mr. Borah was the logical can
didate and he felt certain the people
of the state expected that he be chosen.
OF sentiment in his county. Mr..
Schuldt said he was convinced it was
in favor of Mr. Borah overwhelmingly,
and he was not surprised to find that
his visit to Lewiston had brought out
that sentiment.
On the matter of the governorship,
MI Schuldt said the friends of Mr..
Borah were not striving to bring out
a candidate against Governor Gooding.
So far as he understood the attitude of
Mr. Borah's supporters in Nez Perez
county. they were making no fight on
the governor being willing that he
should be nominated. They were very
anxious that Mr.. Borah should receive
the nomination for senator and were
not seeking to complicate the issue
with any other.
REWRITING to the plan Of making
nomination of candidate for senator
in state convention. Mr.. Schuldt said
he was very firmly convinced 1t was
necessary to the interests Of the party.
He was satisfied the party would lose
large number of votes in his county
II Mr. Rorah were not nominated, and
he heard similar views expressed by
persons from other counties.
The reason for this was perfectly
plain Senator Dubois would be the
candidate of the democrats and he
would run on platform that would
draw off great number Of voters un-
less the republicans put the one man
in the field against him In whom such
voters have perfect confidence.
It was stated, further by Mr. Schuldt
that he had no hesitation in saying 1t
would make 1t very difficult to carry
the legislative ticket in Nez PIERCE
unless Mr. Rorah were named as the
republican candidate for senator in
opposition to Senator Dubois. and from
all he could learn similar conditions
prevailed in great many other coun-
ties. This, he said. was a. serious mat
ter Not only would the legislative
ticket be menaced but the state ticket
| as WELL
Continuing. the visitor made the
statement that he felt that the nominal
| tion Of Mr.. Rorah would make the en-
tire ticket 10000 votes stronger. More
over he had found that the democrats
| feared nothing so much as the nominal
, tion of Mr.. Borah by the state conven-
| ton After looking into the matter
very carefully, he was satisfied the
democrats felt that they would have
| good chance to elect Dubois II the
rArnhlicans should turn down this de-
| mand for the nomination of Borah.

cren.
The democrats would take the field

state convention. and they would be in
position. did the republicans fail to
make this nomination. to claim the lat

DANGEROUS position for the party to as
sumo. he said. and there was no rea-
son. In his Judgment. why such dan
gers should be courted.
