CONFUSION AT TWIN FALLS
Democratic Factions Glass Over
Mormon Issue.

| Oem0CTatlC tact10nS Class over
Mormon Issue.
The democratic state convention
held at Twin Falls last week is des.
cribed In all the press dispatches as
one Of the most turbulent political
gatherings ever seen In Idaho. A
strong anti-Dubois element had de.
veloped and the clash came over the
selection Of permanent chairman.
The anti-Dubois faction nominated
i K. l. Perky of Boise for chairman,
and the Dubois people named Glen
2. Mckinley Of Twin Falls. The roll
was called amid some confusion and
, much inquiry as to whether an honest
talley was being kept. Finally Nc
Kinley was declared elected. He
assumed the chair and attempted to
call the convention to order, using
a slab Of wood, and finally a table
leg, for gavel, but pandemonium
broke loose. X. l. Perky came for
ward, mounted chair and called bis
followers about him, and, amid great
disorder, effected separate organi-
zation. Perkey and his adherents
we're denounced as Enormous" and
"jack Mormons" by the Dubois, or
anti Mormon delegates. The marsh.
al and sheriff were called IN to restore
order but did not act.
The Perky convention adopted
resolutions instructing for Bryan and
against an anti-Mormon plank in the
national platform, and the following
delegates were elected to the Denver
convention. July I: w. B. Mcfarland,
Occur d'Alene; G. E. Erb, Lewiston;
j. T. Pence. Ada; d. L. Evans,
Oneida; John c. Rice, Canyon; ]. H.
Hawley, Ada. Their business com.
pletcd, the "bolters" retired.
The Mckinley or Dubois CONVEX
ton then proceeded to business. En-
Senator Dubois addressed the
convention In support of his anti
Mormon policy and against any
compromising Of principles. A plat.
form was adopted renewing allegiance
to the doctrines Of Jefferson, Jackson
and Bryan: favoring tariff revision;
endorsing Bryan for PRESIDENT; de-
handing complete separation of
church and state, and recommending
the adoption Of plank In the nation
al platform favoring an amendment
to the U. S. constitution prohibiting
polygamy. The convention chose as
delegates to Denver, the following:
F. T. Dubois, Henry Heitfeld, C.H.
Jackson. Harry L. Day, Tim Regan
and w. H. Eccles.
The convention then adjourned.
