DU BOIS FACTION CLAIMS
OPPONENTS ARE MORMONS

Denver, Colo, July 5.-With the en-
tire delegation trailing at their heels,
former United States Senators Du Bots
and Hertfeldt, of Idaho, today made
the rounds of the various state dele
cations in the interest of tho reten-
tion Of their names on the convention
roll Their seats are being contested
by a delegation which claims that the
Du Bois-Hertfeldt convention was ir-
regular.
"They contendG said Mr.. Du Bots
TO tffg fdelegateS NE met, "that some
of our delegates were not properly
elected. but in reality the contest is
made solely by and in the interest Of
the Mormon organization The Nor
mons of Idaho are all republicans and
in close alliance with the republican
party of the state and nation. They do
not participate in democratic politics
or vote the democratic ticket Their
only claim to recognition by this con
vention is that IL the democracy will
cease its fight on poIygamy and ac-
cept the Mormon domination In politi-
cal affairs it will get some of the Nor
mon votes The American citizens,
regardless of party in Utah and Idaho
are practically united in determination
that the power of the Mormon organi-
zation in politics and the continue
tion of polygamous living shall be
brought to an end The national party
in its platform at st. Louis in 1904
declared strongly for the separation
of church and state In political affairs
and for the determination of poly
gamy in the United States. All the
democratic members of the senate
committee on privileges and elections
voted to expel Apostle Reed Smoot
from the senate and all the demo-
cratic senator's with the exception of
four voted in the senate to expel him.
They took this position because It is
proven that Mr.. Smoot belonged to an
organization which continued to teach
and practice polygamy. The position
of American democracy Is plain and
unmistakable, and the contention oi
the delegation of which ! am the head
is that the democratic party should
declare even more plainly against
polygamy In the approaching cam
paign than II has heretofore DONE"
The national committee will heal
the Idaho contest tomorrow.

FIFTY THOUSAND MAJOIkITY'

Denver, July 5.--A special train Of
nine decorated and hammered Pullman
coaches, bearing the enthusiastic Ok
lahoma delegation and $40 shouting
supporters of Bryan from the new
state arrived in Denver shortly after
noon today They came direct from
Lincoln, where they visited with the
democratic leader and presented him
with flag, a banner and silver and
gold bound copy of the constitution of
Oklahoma. The oklahoma arrivals
are probably the most enthusiastic
Bryan supporters that have reached
Denver. They oheered for the Ne
braskan all along the line, and when
they reached the lobby of the hotel
their enthusiasm spread among the
other delegates and the concerted
cheers for the Nebraskan rang
through the corridors.
Governor Haskell addressed the
crowd, saying;

and we are proud of the fact that we
are here to support the next president

CURRY AVERTS
BAD RIOT At
TEX|C0
ARMED CITIZENS DEFY
SANTA FE TRACK WORKERS
Propose to Employ Force If
Necessary to Restrain Rail-
road From Tearing up the
Track Into the Town

Especial Dlspaf>S to the Morning JOarnal.l
Texico. n. NJ, July 5.--only the
timely Intervention Of Governor Curry
averted serious riot and possibly and
even probably bloodshed here yester-
day morning when band Of 100 arm
ed citizens marched out against a
gang Of 500 Santa Re track workers
with the intention of forcing the track
men to cease tearing up the Santa Fc
track between Cameo and Texlco.
The Santa Fe has recently complet-
ed construction of It's short cut-off
from Cameo on the Pecos valley line
to the new town Of CLOVIS on the cut
off. BY the use of this line Texico
is cut Off the main line south and is
left stranded. That portion of the
old Santa Fe track between Texico
and Cameo II has been proposed to
tear w. or abandon.
Since the Santa Fe established the
town of Clovis and placed It's round
house and division shops there, Tex
leo has been anticipating the time
when an effort would be made to tear
up the old track and much thought
has been given to the means to pre-
vent the action proposed by the rail-
road. Whatever the fundamental
causes for the Santa FEES change of
base from Texico to Clovis the changa
has aroused bitter feeling In Texico
and has been cause for serious con-
Germ to property owners.
On his way TO Roswell, Governor
Curry was met at Melrose by com-
mittee of citizens from Texico who ac-
companicd him by way of Clovis to
Cameo and who apnrlsedi him of tho
situation as regards Texic lis interests.
The governor at that isha adYisef
against hasty action and Told the som-
mittee to seek remedy In the courts.
| Early yesterday morning q gang or
| three hundred track men were
brought down from Amarillo and be-
gan tearing up the old track They
had actually torn up about four miles
| of rails when a committee of armed
! citizens of Texico, 100 strong. march-
cd ont with the intention of stopping
the work
Telephone communication was es-
tabIished with the governor at Ros-
well and he with Attorney General
/ Hervey, succeeded in getting into COM
munication with General Manager
Avery Turner OF the Pecos valley line
of the Santa Fe, who was in Roswell.
! The governor induced Mr.. Turner to
recall the gang Of track men and as
result the matter will be taken into
the courts at once for decision. 1t Is
probable that the Texico people viii
apply for an injunction to restrain the
Santa Fe from tearing up or abandon
ing its track, and falling in this. will
seek to attack the franchise under
which the line Is operated.
The matter has aroused bitter feel
ing in Texlco and but for the timely
intervention of the governor serious
trouble might have been expected.

the nuptial knot might be tied with
out delay. After the wedding the
couple went to the home of one of
the brides relatives at WeyauWega
for their honeymoon.
But down in Portage in the mean
! time another part of the play was
staged. A young wife, deserted, was
suffering for the necessaries of life.
She toiled from dawn to dusk to
keep the bodies and souls of her two
babies and herself together.
She wept at first and thought her
husband would return, but he came
mot. She invoked the aid of the law
and warrant was issued charging
the runaway husband with non-sup-
port.
Sheriff Hawkes. was given the war
rant He followed Forbes to Weyau-
vega. The bridegroom saw him com

good bye and fed, but he soon was
captured and brought to Portage.
He was arraigned before Justice
Heidi for a preliminary hearing,
waived examination and was bound
over to- the circuit court. Then the
relatives of his latest wife appeared.
Another warrant was issued this
time in Waupaca county, charging
Forbes with bigamy. The man was
released from the charge under which
he was held here-non-su pport-and
now he is in custody for having more
wives than the Wisconsin laws allow,
