When II l. VIII Prccipitatc a
Very Warm Discussion.
Especial to tho "News.")

Denver, Colo, July g-Dubois and his
bosom friend Pettigrew have not
ceased their pernlcious activity for a
moment even scarcely to eat or sleep,
since their arrival here. His success
before the credentials committee was
not due however to the fact that he
eNcelled the Nugent- Perky Rich crowd
either in activity or Intelligence. and
certainly not through superior right
eousness of cause, hut to his wide ar
quaintance among senators, representa-
tives and politicians generally. and 70
the hopes and groundless fears wth
which he cajoles aud frightens com
mitteemen Upon these things is he
relying with piofessed hope Of success
in securing n so-called anti-Mormon
plank in the report of resolutions com
mittee But IL he succeeds it will be
against the earnest influence and pro.
test of a group of the big men of the
committee, such as Gov. Haskell of
Oklahoma, the chairman, who is said to
directly represent the wishes of Mr..
Bryan.
But Dubois. who betrayed Judge
Parker four years ago, then instruCtue
his speakers to keep silent on national
issues iu order to attract Republican
votes to his state ticket, now holds OUT
the hope of Bryan's success in Idaho
with his anti-polygamy plank and GER
tain failure without II. He also tells
the committeeman that failure TO be
rcsolute on the Mormon question anu
certainly the rejection of a perforated
plank on the subject. win be construed
by the country as aligning the party
with the Mormon Church in its alleged
efforts to maintain polyRamy and Sc
cure Church dictation in all matters
political. Judge King, Utah's com
mitteeman on resolutions is not with
out fear that this sophistry may pEo-
vail.
The proposed plank has not vet
reached discussion in the committee.
It's presentation will precipitate
warm debate. The malodorous Dubois
threatens TO appeal to the convention
If defeated in committee. If so, King
Is prepared. and probably Gov. Has
kell, to argue against the plank, but
what may be done under the infu-
ence of passion and prejudice remains
TO be determined The plank urged
IL said TO be practically Identical with
that of 1904 namely:
I'VE demand the determination of
polygamy within the Jurisdiction OF
the United Ststes. and the complete
separation of church and state"
The Utah delegation is unit against
the plank not because they do not
agree with the principles announced,
but because the questions are local and
because the plank If inserted at the
dictation of notorious anti-Mornon
political schemer and fanatic, must liz
iure the Democratic party of Utah at
the polls. The resolutions committee
will probably report at tonights SEES
