DEMOCRATS WIN AT TWIN FALLS.
lESS ATTEMPT TO STEAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION BY AMERICAN PARTY

ply convention to beat Dubois and
his methods and he and his dishon-
est benchmen were beaten to a
standstill.
Proper resolutions were adopted
and delegates were elected to the
national convention at Denver as
follows:

j. T. Pence, Boise; d. L. Evans,

There being no further business
before the convention, it was mov-d
by John Nugent that vote of
thanks be extended to the city of
Twin Falls for Offering to the con-
vention the poorest Accommodations
ever extended a pol itical conven-
tion; also for the opcn-armei man
ner in which the delegates wcro
received; the eating and sleeping
accommodations provided the dele
agtes and for the profusc manner in
which the city was decorated for
the occasion. This motion w as
carried unanimously and the con-
vention scjourned to go down in
history as the last stand of the
cohorts Of Duboisism, bossism and
kindred cankers that have been SAP
ping the vitality of the Democrat
ic party in Idaho th-sc many years.
The era is past for the use of the
sand bag welded by Dubois az ainst
free thought and individual liberty
in shaping the policies of dc mocracy
In this state. His domination is
at an. end forever.
The band made decided hit. A
concert was played each evening in

amazed to know that town OF only

pie could maiutain such a musical
organization.

BAPTISTS HOLD
GOOD MEETINGS
Rev. HermIstOn Arrives From East
and is Preaching Fine
Sermons

The Hermiston meetings at the
Baptist cpurch which have been in
progress for three weeks will con-
tinue over Sunday and until such
time next week as seems best.
Rev. E. r. Hermiston returned
last Saturday from Kansss city ard
Oklahoma where he has been in
attendance at a Chapel Car confer
ence and the May meeting of the
Baptist convention. He occupied
the Baptist church for the first
time last Sunday morning and
spoke to full house. BY way of
introduction he spoke of the uplift
one receives in meeting with the
great men OF the denomination, of
the inspiration which comes to the
man out here in the west engaged
in religious work, when he comes
in touch with the representatives of
the great Baptist host of five mill
lions.
Rev. Hermiston is an ex-baseba1l
player, having pitched ball in the
International League. A man who
has hal a large experience and
travelled extensively. His sermons
show a keeness of vision and a
well stored memory. He is full of
good humor and persuasive
preacher His methods are
straig ghtforward and above reproach.
He appeals to the intellect and
msgnifies the power Of God to save
and to keep all who trust in Him.
The meetings are attended with
deep interes- throughout and con-
versions. Tuesday night there
was baptismal service when six
were ''buried with Christ in bap-
tism y Later in the week there
will be another baptismal service.
Sunday is to be a day full of in
terest. Mr.. Hermistun has themes
of special interest for both morning
and evening and the public is cor
daily invited.

if there were no objections the
gentleman would be permitted to

ceedings the Democrats of E.lmorc

character of the entire proceed ings

Two of the m m>mbers of the press

Dubois Notwithstanding the fact
that Senator McBeth of Custer and
two or three other Dubois hench-
men, not members of the Committee
were permitted TO stay through the
meeting, the doors being unlocked
and open, permitting any of his
tribe to enter or leave at will, the
meeting went into executive ses-
sion.
Democrats who have lived in
Idaho, some of them for 40 years
and many OF them ex-chairman of
the state central committee, men
who have stood on the firing line
and fought the battles of democracy
years and years before Dubois was
heard of emphatiCally declare that
never before has any political boss
controlled the Central Committee
and attempted to pass on credentials
of the different county deleg ations,
and in addition thereto elect a
temporary chairman of the conven-
ton assembled by the people and for
the people as did the Fred T. Du-
bois gang yesterday The state
central committee at their meeting
not only passed upon the creden-
tials of the different county dele.
gates but even went so far TO
suggest the name of Glen McKin-
ley of Twin Falls as temporary
chairman.
The five members of this COM
mittee above referred to comp osipg
the remnant Of the regular denioc-
racy, so strenuously opposed this
proceeding that the Duboisites were
shamed out of naming the chair
man by the central committee, and
the matter passed over with mere
suggestion. To show the absolute
unfairness of it, when the conven-
tion was called to order at three
O'Clock Chairman Lockhart stated
that the central committee had ap-
pointed Mckinley of Twin Falls
county as temp orary chairman of
the convention. From this NOM
ent the fight was on and 1t was a
question for a while, whether or
not this Napoleon of disaster from
Biackfoot would stifie the cries of

mand fairness and the right OF

his men The band played again.
Mckinley got megaphone and be-
gan shouting his authority through
that at the Ada delegation. Dur
ing all this Perky kept OH with his
bunch quietly holding a separate
convention.
''Will the fat slob from Ada
county take his seat? Why in
h--ll can't we have order 2''
shouted Mckinley. Perky and his
men kept on at work amid noise
and confusion that must have been
heard at Pocatello. Delegates in
all parts of the room began standing
ON chairs shouting and waving
banners, variously inscribed.
Mckinley called for the town
marshal, demanding from him the
arrest of Perky. The marshal
looked at the crowd surrounding
Perky, shook his head and disap-
peared in the opposite direction.
"Will the sheriff come forw ard ~
shouted Mckinley ~
Bingham county Democrats held
a regular convention at which they
named IA delegates to the Twin
Falls convention. When the name
Bingham County was called Sam
Rich Immediately stood up and
voted IA votes for Perky, but they
were not counted as the Dubois con-
tingent claimed all OF these and
without reference 10 the crcden-
tia1s, in fact all the credentials
we're passed upon before the conven-
tion met. Dubois counted the IA
votes from Bingham which, OF
course made a difference of 2e
votes. If these Ia votes from Bing-
ham county had been counted for
Perky he would have had 40 votes
and Mckinley i35 The proper
thing to have done wos Id have
been to have left out all of these del
egations until the committee of cre-
dentials had passed upon them.
This w uld have left Perky 1856
and Mckinley 1875, figuring three
votes from Cassia and 1 from Idaho
county for Perky. These counties
the Dubois faction refused TO ac-
knowledge, notwithstanding their
delegations were regular in every
way.
With the hand playing and 500
delegates shouting, Judge Perky,
James r. Hawley, W. M. Donald

100 other democrats. the flower of
democracy Of the state of Idaho,
were conducting the convention as
it should be, while Dubois ard bis
henchmen in the Central committee
endeavored to control the balance
of the convention. Then pande-
moniun broke loose during which
time the Dubois supporters we're
compelled TO resume their seats
with possibly hall dozen ex-
ceptions and while the convention
was being conducted by the reg
ulars, ninety-five per cent OF the
Dubois followers were il tneil
seats quite subdued. 1t was sim
