faction that strved to sustain the action of the

openly fighting the polygamy program.
The convention was called for 3 o'clock and whe1
the exact hour of arrived the Dubois faction who
all sat on side of the house, called for J. J. Day
chairman of the central committee Day mounted
the rostrum and talked, ignoring the insurgents

mously elected A Dubois man, D. T. A. Mcintosh
of Kendrich was elected secretary Resolutions pre-
sented ratfyng the action of the central committee

Attorneys Moore and Denning leaders of the nsur-
gents announced that they would support the ticket
heartily The meeting ended harmonously
This result from Latah was no surprise to the
democrats of Idaho who have been voting their ticket
for the past six years. Latah has few pseudo
democrats who have not been voting their ticket dur
ing these years.
The democrats of the state have been cognizant of
this regretabe fact Such condition has been most
embarrassing to the democrats of Latah county
Acting entirely upon their own notion the loyal
democrats of Latah appointed a delegation to the
Twin Falls convention. In this, they acted on Gus
tom, we'll established by precedent by all parties in
Idaho.
Serving obediently the every behest of its master
(the Mormon church) the Boise edition of The Des-
eret News threw a fit" Its "Brainstorm' was
contagious. The Ada Club caught the dreadful
disease, indignation 1t was of the most viru-
lent form.
At this time the prime factors of the Ada club were
cropping in blind darkness in their search for some
thing to serve their purpose and make them
LEADERS of the democracy, the one hand and
LABORERS for the Mormons, on the other
Here III this Latah incident was the rock for the
foundation of the superstructure of hope With
once acclaim they said, "Here is our chance" They
grasped 1t as drowning man would straw No
sort of abuse contumely spared in their char
acterlzaton of the regular Latah county democrats
All other regular democrats of the state were cast in
the balances with them, for like abuse based on their
presumption 'of guilt"
The United States mail was too slow for these
"indignators" Their feelings of resentment must be
conveyed by wire. They telegraphed their indignant
pent-up feelings to their fellow Mormons" in
Latah
The remnant of the Mormonized element of the
Latah county democracy responded to the prod of
the spur from the Ada county "Moseses" who were
raised up to lead the democracy of Idaho out of its
wilderness" and meeting was called to fly in
the face of the democratic county central committee
OF Latah and "repudiate" what it had done in
the selection of delegation to the Twin Falls con-
vention.
The regular democrats of Latah county, those who
have been voting the ticket and who will vote it
again, as long stands for purity decency moral
ty and the fundamental law of Idaho, took entire
charge of this meeting and the results stated
above obtained
Again we pause to reflect, that it is deplorable to
observe what the Mormons of Utah can make
IF Gentes in Idaho in Difference to their law
ess organization.
