The Motives Are Becoming
Better Understood.

week ago yesterday The stOrmiest [
ever held in the state OF .
IDAHO convened In Twin Falls ended b
q two conventions, the regular con- r
gention. under the leadership OF i
former Senator Dubois, transacting /
It's business in an orderly manner: a
rump convention, under the leader |
ship Of Perky Perkey, Karl Paine,
John +. Nugent, Jim IIawley, In
dcted Martin and others of their ilk
was held, and, like that anarcEistic
crowd which this gang represented
conducted it's business in the way all
followers of the red flag do, in disor
der, in confusion and without any re-
gard for anybody or anything except |
themselves.
This gang of conspirators, hired,
in many instances, by the Salt Lake
hierarchy, attended the Twin Falls
convention with but one object in
view, that was to start a riot and
bolt the convention. In this the
gang succeeded.
Now that voters have had time to
think the matter over, they are ask
ing themselves these questions, viz.
"What motive actuated the leaders
of the anti.Dubois movement? Why
| did they bolt?" And then from vari-
Gus sources the voters learn why.
That there was combine between
the Salt Lake hierarchy and the lead
ers of the bolt is beyond question.
In Frank Martin and the delega-
tion from Canyon county the HE.
raIchy had devoted friends. Martin
who was with the Ada county delega
ton, is under indictment by the
courts. lie, therefore, is a law break
err. The hierarchy are law breakers.
There was, thereiore,a bond OF SYM
patty between Martin and the bic
rachy. Men always seek their own
kind.
Then there is John Nugent, the re-
representative of the Western Fedora
ton, in the combine. lie hates
Frank Martin. lie hates the Canyon
county delegation because they were
recognized as Steunenberg friends.
Nugent hated Steunenberg alive. IL,
hates him dead Nugent likewise
hates Dubois because the latter wher
senator, declined to aid him In mat
ter pertaining to an appointment
Further, Nugent is "A very suspicious
man. lie does not trust himself. ii,
has all the characteristics Of mem
Der of the hierarchy In that he Il
suspicious of everyone. lie has no us'
} for Martin. He has no use for tn,
: followers and friends of Steunenberp
/ 1t is only a question OF time unit
the combination goes TO pieces.
I Another of the anti.Dubois crowd
0 one OF the boilers, is Karl Paine, o
= Ada county, who has an abnorma
= development OF the big head. lie |
r lawyer. lie is Payette product
and went to Washington Lane schot
c for season. There Senator Duboi
became acquainted with Paine, too
f a liking to hin, and spoke well q
e him to his friends, referring to hiI
as IA high-grade, well-meaning DO
= and worthy. Friends Of Dubois, aC
: cordingly, took him up and ran hin
for Encouragement. Paine mad
!, such use of Dubois as he could unit
b. Dubois was out OF the senate an
Paine figured his power was gon,
u and then deserted the principles h
!. represented and joined in the tigl
II with the arch enemies of Dubois.
;, Since the Twin Falls convention
!. has been learned that there were de
h egates in the Ada, Canyon and NJ
II Perez delegations who not only di
not support the last democratic stat
t, ticket. from Judge Stockslager dow
N but who Travelled over the counties
ID southeastern Idaho holding confe
S, ences with the Mormons at Malad,
&c Pucateilo and at st. Anthony 10 5,
la that Judge Stockslager, who's ele
tiont hey feared, would not get enoul
NJ the Mormon vote TO elect him.
Then again the evidence OF u
Mormon church Joining with Il
~ Western Federation &c dislodge Il
anti Mormon fight In this state b
not only disguised the mass Of &
." democrats, but also the mass OF {
:, Gentle republicans. The hieraic
IN has become frightened over the al
GU ance. The Salt Lake chiefs Of I
I" church would like To get out; tn
al are like the man who bad hold OF I
"e beat, they can't get any one TO h'
IT, them let go. They have likew
discovered the fact that they ha

=" The talk about the church and
" allies carrying the light into

ie lace is absurd. by the time the c.
