HOT CONVENTION
Democrats Have Pretty Warm
Time Saturday
Il WAS A FAIR FIGHT
No Hard Feeiings-All In To
Win This Fall

VIII MS all
The Democratic Convention of
Idaho County to elect delegates to
Twin Falls, is now history. Sat-
urday at 2 o'clock P. M. some 6S
earnest, sincere democrats with a
desire to CONTROL the state politics
OF Idaho in the coming election,
met at the County Court House
for the purpose of electing Is
democrats to attend the conven.
ton to be held at Twin Falls on
the third day of June, to there
cooperate with the delegates
chosen throughout the country in
selecting 6 men to Denver, who
will labor for the nomination Of
William J. Bryan for president.
Prior to the assembling of the
Convention there were many
rumors afloat, largely from
Republican sources, that the
democrats would split, bolt and
he far apart providing either the
prO.mormon or anti-mormon sup
pOrters won the convention. Such
was not the case and the delegates
almost to man in their express
ions were united upon the one
predominating question that poly
gamy and unlawful cohabitation
were vices and that there should
be laws enacted to effectually
suppress the same. From the re.
suits of the secret ballot upon dele.
gates chosen tho majoriiy n the
convention endossed theSe views.
Some very earnest expressions ar
to what was best for the democracy
in the state upon polygamy and
the present leadership were indul-
ged in by the democrats. Some
doubtless sincere arguments were
made against Senator Dubois, and
against polygamy, by w. N. Scales,
w. II. Casady, H. L. Hussman
Mark Howe, Judge Duffy and
George Robertson. The friends Of
Senator Dubois and the men who
favored a strong plank in the
national and state platform
against polygamy and unlawful
cohabitation, in earnest speeches
were Frank McGrane, W. W
Brown. A. f. Parker, 1. G. Hatta
baugh, Judge Vineyard, John
Powell and John Coram. The
last named men practically control
led the machinery, electing the
temporary chairman, w. W.
Brown and the permanent chair
man Hampton Taylor, both Of
whom presided with fairness over
the deliberations OF the conven-

and there was likewise placed in
nomination Is other democrats
who might be termed friends of
Senator Dubois and who favored a
strong plank against polygamy
and its kindred evils. This latter
set OF delegates won on the final
vote. The men elected were.
w. Brown, L. Vineyard, A. F.
Parker, Edwards s. Hancock
E. M. Watson. Frank E. Wyatt,
Martin L. Butler, j. o. Rhoades,
p. M. Griffith, Barney Stubbers,
w. s. M. Williams, Walter L.
Brown, John A. Powell, John
Mogg, w. II. Zumwalt, L. A.
Wisener, Ben Kriegar, and A. l..
Creelman. The quarrel was over.
Let it be said that those who fought
Senator Dubois bore themselves in
battle with gracious courtsey and
while defeated, they accepted it in
the spirit Of democracy and left
the lists with clean hands. The
next battle will be at the poles in
November and there let US marshall
all our strength to defeat Mr..
Brady and elect q man who will at
least place the state on a higher
plain OF business and politics than
it today occupies.

MY DARLING ONE.
This world is sad and drear to me,
Darling one, my darling one,
Since thy loved face no more L see,
Darling one, my darling one,
You told me that it would be vain
For me to hope your hand to gain,
And yet the effort caused you pain,
Darling one, my darling one.
All, was it love that made you sigh.
Darling one, my darling one,
And caused that sad and pensive eye,
Darling one, my darling one,
Hope feign would fix her anchor
there,
And could | hope your love TO share.
| would not sink thus in despair,
Darling one, my darling one.
When first we met spoke of love,
Darling one, my darling one.
Which seemed ut once your heart to
move,
Darling one, my darling one,
You told me then in language fine
To wait while-that love like mine
Would never stand the test of time.
Darling one, my darling one.
I've waited twelve months, and be-
hold,
Darling one, my darling one,
L love you more, a thousand fold,
Darling one, my darling one.
oh, could you know the love [ feel,
Your heart you would no longer
steel,
But would TO loves emotions yield,
Darling one, my darling one.
Ills hard lot for one so young as I,
Darling one, my darling one
In such distress TO have 10 die,
Darling one, my darling one.
Oh, If L thought you would reIent,
I-would my rashness now repent,
To you my case once more present,
Darling one, my darling one.
But why should forever plead,
Darling one, my darling one
The voice of love you will not heed,
Darling one, my darling one
Nay, rs you will not he my bride,
III flee 10 yonder rivers side,
And sink myself beneath its tide,
Darling one, my darling one
Farewell, and when my fate YOU
hear,
Darling one, my darling one,
Oh, shed for me no parting tear,
Darling one, my darling one.
And when alone ut eventide,
a voice will say Gust at yourside)
Twas you | loved-for you died,

Mr.. p DECISION.

If anything were needed to
strengthen the admiration of the
American people for Mr.. Taft's high
character and sense of duty to the pub
lie, it has been furnished in the corre-
~spondence between President Roose-
'elt and him in connection with the
presidents offer to appoint Mr.. Taft,
then secretary of war, to a position on
the supreme bench, succeeding MIR. JUS
tice Brown.
The presidents letter, filled with
expressions of admiration and friendly
solicitation, held out to the secretary
of war the attainment of the great am
bition of his life-a seat upon the su-
preme bench. The president and the
country knew that Mr.. Taft preferred
the ermine of the highest judiciary to
any position in the gift of the president
or the people and 1t was generally
supposed that Mr.. Taft would accept
the proffered appointment. Mr.. Taft's
reply is peculiarly characteristic of the
man. Admitting that the appointment
would have been a lifelong, ardent de-
sire, he wrote:
1 have been connected with the admins
tration Of civil government in the Philip
pine islands since February, 1900. Much
Of what has been done in working out
the problem and carrying the burden
thrust upon the United States, l I'm more
or less responsible for. Rightly or wrongly,

those who have been most anxious to
make our government a success there,
have confidence in my earnest desire to
help the Filipino people and my willing
ness to do everything / can to secure
them prosperity. peace and a gradual eX-
tension of self-government. " : " 1 would
much prefer to &c. on the supreme bench
for life than to run for the presidency. and
that in twenty years of judicial service
l could make myself more useful to the
country than as president, even II my
election should come about.
Please do not misunderstood me to think
that I am Indispensable or that the world
could not run on much the same II I were
to disappear in the St. Lawrence river.
But circumstances seem to me to have
imposed something in the nature of a
trust to me personally that l should not
discharge by now succeeding Justice
Brown. In the nature of things the trust
must end with this administration, and
one or two years is short to do much.
Yet the next session Of congress may re-
suit in much for the benefit of the Filipino,
and 1t seems to me It is my duty to be
In the fight.
Instances of such loyalty to duty are
painfully rare in American official life
and this marked one will serve to In
spire and increase the widest respect
and admiration for Mr.. Taft among his
fellow men.
