CONTEST At DENVER CONVENTION
Democratic Hosts Have Departed From Twin Falls but Inter-
est in the Fight Has Not Abated.

forces seem equally confident. They
insist that with a fair roll call and an
honest count they would have con-
tTOlled the convention yesterday.
It is conceded by everybody, how
ever. as pointed out yesterday, that if
none of the contested counties had
been called Dubois would have won
by two votes. The desire of the former
senator to widen his margin brought
on all the trouble.
Good Missionary Work.
The ants did q fine lot of mission
airy work among the delegates, as the
result shows. On Tuesday everything
pointed TO a Dubois victory, almost
an overwhelming one, but enough
votes were switched through the eff
forts of Nugent, Hawley and others to
give a national committee contest
some ground on which to stand.
The Dubois people claim that more
than 200 of the 298 delegates were in
their seats last night at the Dubois
convention. This claim rests, however.
on the seating of the Dubois delegates
in the opening contest, and when all
is said and done there is a split in the
Democratic party big enough to drive
a herd of elephants through.
