This was followed by an excerpt

BOISE, Idaho. Jan. Sit II un-
devstood an agreement has been
reached by the legislature TO create
new judicial district out OF BonneF
and Kootenai counties, leaving sho-
shone a district by itself. Ex-senator
Herman Taylor and former Judge
Morgan are candidates for Judge In
the Kootenai- Bonner district. Mem
bers OF both houses have suffered
from excuses in cident 10 the inaug-
ural ball and the sessions were brief
and featureless.
In the house Charles Sheean, demo
crat of Blaine. started row because
OF proposal. as he thought, to install
number OF stenographeFs. He was
roundly scoring the majority for ex-
travagance. when his attention was
called to the fact that the resolution
provided for thermometers. He sub
sided amidst laughter.
Because they regard him as erratic
and not thoroughly grounded in DEM
ocratic principles the minority Of the
senate has deposed Senator Macbeth
OF Custer az their leader and substi-
tuted Senator McDeavitt OF Ada
county. Behind the veil Of explana-
tion stands the fact that Macbeth Is
too rabidly anti-Mormon. The de-
sire OF the new democracy OF Idaho,
as distinguished from the Boise reg
lime. is to conciliate the Mormons.
and It Is generally Understood that ID
the real reason for the change.
Among the ostensible reasons present
ID Is the action OF Macbeth. without
oasultlng the members Of his party,
in presenting a liquor bill, which
many regard as having been inspired
by the liquor interests.
