Twin Falls. June 3.--The Democratic
state convention, meets here this after
noon for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the national convention, both
factions claim victory. Dubolstes feel
confident that they are in control of the
situation and will carry out their plans,
while on the other hand the anti-Dubois
people are equally emphatic in assert
ing that the INSCRIPTIONS would-be
boss and dictator is already beaten.

thus elected were not of the stamp and
color to suit Dubois, the arbitrary
method was employed OF having dele
gates appointed to contest for seats in
the convention. The state committee
is controlled by Dubois, and the plan is
to endeavor to seat first the Bear LAX
county Duboisites, then using that vote
to knock out the regularly elected
oneida delegation, and so on until
majority has been secured.

as John f. Nugent. Il. j Dochery, g.

the fight of his life. In the counties
listed as doubtful are men who are

among them WIN be found a sufficient
number standing for justice and right
to block the plans of the rule or ruin
gang.
Besides electing delegates to the Dem

factions arrived in town last night,
