By a Mormon Trick.

The Occur dA1ene Press tells how the city of
Occur dAlene carried by the Jack Mormon
faction at the democratic primaries of the goth of
July:
The saloons visited by the workers of the
antl-Dubols ticket and literally supplied with tickets
containing the of their delegates, and to these
according to the claims made by the anti Mormon
men, to be attributed the heavy vote in favor of the
ant1-Dubois ticket. The anti-Mormon men say that
it when they observed this vote rolling in that
they began to make inquiries as to the cause of it,
and was then that they ascertained that the anti
Dubois faction, for the purpose of obtaining the
vote of the saloon and their sympathizers, had
raised the local option issue, and found themselves
branded among this voting class the prohibition
party. 1t operated as total surprise upon those
representing the antMormon ticket, and by the time
that they became aware that the ant-Dubois men
had raised this local option issue among the saloon
men as ruse to turn the vote against them, it was
too late to stem the tide, and the voting went on I'm
checked. The anti Mormon men, after it had been
aScertained that there would be two tickets in the
field, had expected, they say that the issue would
fought out on the Mormon question, and had not ex-
pected that into the fight there would be injected the
local option issue, issue upon which they had
taken no stand, it had never been agitated here
or in any manner been presented to the public and
that by of the fact that it was not the issue
and they had taken attitude with reference to it.
1t is to this ruSe employed by the ant-Dubois men
that the supporters of the anti Mormon ticket attrb
ute their defeat and number of them have ex-
pressed themselves today to the effect that if the
saloonmen of their voton want to make this
an issue-want to force it upon them-that the time
may come when it will be reality and not political
phantom as was yesterday raised for the purpose
OF binding the people to the real issue and secure
votes upon one that had no existence in fact
In the Mormon end of the state, the church offers
itself as the champion of local option which means
prohibition, instructng all Mormon voters to favor
the anti-saloon side of the issue In the north the
agents of the hierarchy take the saloon side of the
issue and employ the receptions in which they are
masters and past masters.
The saloon of Occur d'A1ene have made
the mistake of their lives in permitting themselves
to become the dupes of the designing Mormon ennis
sarles They have awakened interest in question
they should have steadfastly avoided in the con-
temptation of self interest

GOES TO BOTTOM
Had Just Been FIoatod After Be-

New Bedford, Mass, Dec. Free
from Spindle rock, at the western en-

had been impaled for ten weeks, the
United States cruiser Yankee sank six
fathoms deep near what is known as
the Sand Spit while being towed to
this city for repairs. She lies short

and and not far from the ledge on
which she had rested since Sept. %

floated from the ledge. In spite of
the discouraging situation it is be-
lieved that the vessel can be raised
and work to that end will be begun
at once.
The cause of the accident, the cul-
nlination of series of misfortunes
which have befallen the Yankee, was
an unusually heavy sea kicked up by
high northwest gale. The Yankee,
! In tow of the tugs John Harlan and
Powhattan and conveyed by the naval
collier Lebanon, was proceeding slow
ly from Spindle rock to this port. In
the gale and heavy seas the hawsers
had parted for the tenth time and the
tug John Harlan was trying to con-
meet another towing line when she
was lifted on wave and slammed
against the side of the cruiser. The
impact smashed in a port in the com

Democrats Discuss Situation.
On the Democratic side the men
who attracted the greatest amount OF
notice were John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, who has relinquished his
post of representative of the house
minority in view of his election to a
seat In the senate, and Champ Clark,
leader of the house Democrats. Each
man was made the center of group
of his party colleagues, discussing the
chances of fighting successfully
against the strong Republican major

than Republicans suffered defeat last
month, the Republican majority being
cut down, but the change will not, of
course, affect the present session. On

the recipient of the greatest number
