The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1908-08-20

day afternoon. 1t was learned by a
Telephone from Redrock that he
would arrive home at that time and
a couple of carriage loads Of friends
went out to meet him, who esclrted
him 10 his home In this city.
An informal reception was held at
the home Monday evening In which
the baud was present. and large
number of friends extended their
cordial congratulations The recep
tion was non partisan in Its nature
and many OF the republican admirers
were present and we're as hearty In
their congratulations as his warm
est political admirers. In order to
maintain secrecy, and keep the in
tentlons of the people from the doc
tor but few knew that there was
such a movement On foot. Mrs.
Whitwell prevailed on the doctor to
not go down town by saying that
Three or four OF his gentlemen friends
we're to cal On hilr in the evening.
The first evidence OF anything un-
usual was the playing OF the Salmon
Concert Band which played several
elections. From the hours of s
o'clock until 10 O'Clock the doctors
time was fully occupied in receiving
the congratulations of his townsmen.
When asked by a representative of
The Recorder for some particulars
concerning the conyention Senator
Whitwell warmly praised the efforts
f the people of Wallace to entertain
the delegates. All Of the prelimin-
ries for the gathering had been at
tended to by various committees be-
fore the delegates arrived. Recep-
ton committees met the delegates at
the train and escorted them to their
quarters at the various hotels.
The hotels were very moderate in
their charges and every citizen con-
sidered himself committee, regard
less of party afiiliation to look after
the welfare Of the visitors. Dir.
Nhitwell and the rest of the dele
gsteS from Lemhi will always have
Kindly feeling towards the citizens
of Wallace for their hospitality.
ln speaking of the boiling factions
ind the reasons for the bolting DR..
Hhitwell was rather inclined to be
nticent, and we were left to ipier
much. We gathered that the boiling
action were dissatisfied that the
Ada delegations were seated. This
deprived them of much OF their thun-
der and one of the principal reasons
or which they inte ded to bolt.
Another reef was taken out of their
pals when Ex-senator Dubois had
nothing to do with the work of the
the conventions. TO cap the climax
Mr. Dubois eliminated himself en-
hrely when he proposed the nomina-
ZION of Judge Woods for the senate.
This left the boilers without a leg TO
stand upon. Those who have been
20 bitterly lighting Senator Dubois
aow do not have an issue as he, nn-
oois Is high private in the rear
fanks. D." Senator Dubois stand in
iegard to this question has created a
sntiment not only in favor of him
elf, but the regular democracy has
paved the way for winning fight
before tue supreme court as to reeu-
arity.
Senator Whitwell stated that
oommittee from both factions de-
elared that they both would abide by
sne decisions of the courts as to
which faction should have the party
oame. While both factions will be
soiy represented before the supreme
court, vet 1t is conceded that what
nss been known as the Dubois fac
aon viii accept the decision OF the
eOufts in good faith. Senator Whit
Sell believes that the boilers will ac-
ept the inevitable, whatever THAT
nay be.
10 reply to the question ''IIow do
sae people of the north part of the
seate consider the situation" the
actor unhesitatingly stated that the
people were beginning to believe
'aat there was something to the Nor
nor question and that 1t was grew

state.

eah situation in various parts OF the
''ate he unhesitatingly said that IL
