IDAHO DEMOCRATS SPLIT.
Contesting Delegations Will Be Sent
to Denver Convention.

TWIN FALLS. Idaho. June 4.-The
democratic party Of Idaho yesterday
split on the Mormon question. and. amid
wild scenes, held two conventions yes
terday afternoon in the same hall. Both
claim to be regular. and a bitter contest
before the national committee at Denver
is certain. At one time physical en-
counters seemed imminent. The anti
Mormon faction, led by former Senator
Dubois. seemed to have a majority of the
delegates. The other faction elected
twelve delegates to the national conven-
ton. each entitled to half vote.
The fight arose over the election OF a
nominated Glen Mckinley and the OPP
position pat up X I. Perky. The vote
gave Mckinley 14S and Perky 1872. 1t
was asserted that the state committee
had allowed contested delegations, ia
vorable 10 Dubois, to vote and had barred
contestants that leaned toward the oppo-
sition.
When the riotous demonstrations SUBJ
sided Perky called on the opponents OF
Dubois to gather around him. He then
led them to another part of the hall and
organized a convention. The Perky dele
gates to Denver are w. B. Mcfarland.
