Never before in the history of
Idaho or the entire Pacific north
west has pandenonium reigned in
any state convention as it did yes
terday at Twin Falls Never be-
fore in the history Of any political
organization in the west has bos-
sism endeavored to stifle the
voice of the people and trarnple un-
der foot the privilege of free thought
and free speech accorded us by the
constitution as did Fred t. Dubios'
political machine at Twin Falls
yesterday Every dishonest method
known in politics was put into
practice by this gang of high sea
political pirates Never before has
even this NAPOLEON of Democi attic
Disaster'' reso1 ted to such unheard
of and unspe akable methods as at
tempted in this Democratic conven-
ton.
The first move was the call issue
for a meeting of the State Centr al
Committee at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning The meeting was called
TO order by Chairman Lockhart-
The first question considered was
the seating of Committeeman Kim

was the duly elected choice OF the
Democr ats of Ada county to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation
!, of HutChins- Last Spring at the
meeting of the Central Committee,
Dubois assumed the right and priv
i1eoe OF filling vacancies IN the
Central Committee and, of course,
his henchrn~n and supp rters were
placed thcr< en-; amongst them. L.
E. Arney, Dubois chief satellite,

as A6a couuty's representative not
wittstanding the express wish OF
the Democrats of Aoa county ttat
Mr.. kinyon should occupy that pcs
itio1. and Dubois creatures and
stool pigeons on the Central &c M
mittee did his bidding by refusing
to seat Kinyon who Immediately
! left the meeting. The only Reg

Perky delegate at large and John
H. Garrett of Elmore. Geo e.
Erb of Nez Perce, Dow Dunning of
Owyhee holding proxy of Senator
Pence and another proxy from
Blaine county. Three different
proxies were allowed to the Dubois
tribe although the proxies were nos
in evidence One committeeman,
whose name we cannot recall,
stood on the floor with his purse
in hand as though attempting to
search for a proxy, at the same
time making a disconnected talk
abuut not knowing whether 1T had
really beer given him or not but
that the committeeman ALLEGED 10

that he was not sure ii IT had beer

with were all regularly elected
deleg cations but Dubois's secre
tary omitted them from the Toll call
entirely. They managed, how
ever, in the meantime to get their
chairman on the platform. While
speaking of the chairman we might
say that Mckinley is of the ilk
see made chairman of Dubois
convention AS an ignorant black
guard we think he has anything
skinned that has ever come to our
notice
For an instant he stood on the
chairleg and hurting the vilest ep-
iti1cts at the audience. using un-
printable language in the presence
of quite an audience q ladies'. One
young lady newspaper reporter sat
at his right hand on the platform
table. At the top of his voice he
shouted to the Dubois supporters to

Judge Perky. To give the readers
of Maverick ONE idea Of the lam
guage used by this able chairman
we quote the following from this
MORNINGS Statesman, the same
coming from their special CORES
pondent to the convention.
s'Give me a hammer, by God,
propose to run this convention, -
shouted the newly chosen chair
man. No hammer was forthcom-
ing. Raging with anger McKin-
ely pounded the table and hurled
anathemas at Perky and his fol-
lowers who completely ignored him.
''What in h-ll is the matter
with the sheriff? For Gods sake,
pull that fat apostle off that char, :"
yelled Mckinley.
''You are o lot of d-n Mormon
coyotes, he yelled at Perky and
his followers, who, closely gathered
together, proceeded with their con-
vention as if meeting in church
for the purpose of electing delegates
to Sunday School convention and
apparently utterly oblivious to the
choas all about them. AT last Nc
Kinley ceased his orders for quiet
enough to order the business of the
convention to proceed and it did
under great difficulties.
From here on psdemonium re-
gained. Perky on his chair gather
ed his counselors about him. Cries
of s'piker, - Jack Mormons,' ETC.,
were in the air.
.'You are lot of d-n Nor

bet that fat slob of yours does not
try to get on this platform.

chase me from here -
All around the rosfrum men were
shouting frantically, shaking fists
at each other, swearing, calling
names and yelling. The band broke
out with a selection and quie

riot starred with renewed force.

Mre. Bowser wanted the bath-tub

or TOUR other things done, and
replied:

now. and will stay home tomorrow
ana NIX things up"
She had not protested. but she wished
sns nadn't spoken She also wanted
oeosteads changed and bureaus moved.
ana she had been through many exper-
FENCES with Mr.. Bowser. He would go
at II slambang and try to do a DAYS
work In an hour. and If he twisted a
Deostead out of shape or broke all the
legs on q bureau he would try and hold
ner to blame. That night she dreamed
OF household destruction wholesale She
tnought the gas meter blew up, the wa
ter pipes busted, and that MT. Rowsar
smashed all the furniture and made a
bonfire In the back yard. Next morning
she -nrew out hints that the enameling
ana other things could wait until
spring. but he didn't take them. He
oonneo his old suit and went to work SO
quietly and carefully that she was SUR
prtsed.
AT nine o'clock q man called and
wanted to know where Mr.. Bowser's
onice was, so that he could go over and
see him. Mr.. Bowser cleaned the bath
tuo enamel off his fingers and went
oown stairs. It was q man that want
co to sell him a new mich cow. He
was going on to state that 1t was

her shoes when the reply came:
You are In the wrong house. We do
not buy either new-milch cows or old
milch cows here"
But you are Mr.. Bowserr'
IT am"
And you-you are always buying
new-milch cows or something?''
Nothing doing, sir. This Is my busy
day"
Just half an hour later and Just when
Mrs. Bowser was expecting that Mr..
Bowser would get mad at the bath tub
ana tear it out by the roots, a second
man called. His business was very i'm
portant and couldn't walt. Mr.. Bowser
descended to find man that wanted to
sell him a half interest in a balloon.
He had got as far as to say that 1t was
q balloon built on the lines Of a crow
and must prove a great success, when
he was halted with:
"Excuse me, sir, but I take no interest
whatever in balloons. Perhaps the
butcher on the corner might invest"
But there's a million dollars in this
thing for you," replied the man.
Yes. know, but don't care for it.
Sorry that you went to the trouble Of
calling. Good-day."

MUST INSPECT FUEL OIL.
An Order Of Inspector Hussey VIII
Work q Hardship.

Chanute, Kan, March 14.-State Oil
Inspector Hussey has notified the local
refineries that their fuel oil must be
inspected If submitted for sale. This
is a new ruling and will work a great
hardship on the fuel oil trade. as fuel
oil is now offered at 40 cents per bar
rel and the inspection fee is rs per
cent of ths actual value of the oil.
This product, It Is claimed by the re-
fineries, sold for less than the cost Of
production and never at profit as much
as the inspection fee. There is dan
ger of this order putting the refineries
out of business, as none of them can
or will pay the fee. The ref1ners
claim the inspection only applies to
coal oil and gasoline. as fuel oil was
not thought of or used at the time the
law was made.
