OPPOSITION TO
BASS EXPLAINED
He REFUSED TO PLEDGE
That He Would Bolt in Party
Caucus-Such was Condition
Imposed by 6. F. Milton

Secret af apparent opposition to the
nomination of Esquire +. d. Bass for
senator from Hamilton county is re-
vealed in the fact that Mr.. Bass has
declined to pledge himself not to enter
democratic caucus.
That such tactics have been pursued
in some counties of the state has been
known all the year, but that rock rib
bed Hamilton shonld be asked to send
I'D legislators pledged to keep out of
party caucus, regardless of the. intlu-
ence Of such action of local legislation
will appeal to residents familiar with
conditions here as one of the unparal-
leled political absurdities.
A. Times reporter was asking /. G.
Butterton, president of the Civic
league last night for his explanation Of
why such persistent efforts were being
made by G. f. Milton, of Knoxville,
to bring out candidate for the senate
against Mr.. Bass. Mr.. Betterton said
il was easily explained. He said that
recently he, in company with Mayor
Thompson, went to confer with Mr..
Milton regarding the legislative situa-
tion. AT that time the question was
put up. to them by Mr.. Milton, he
said as to whether Mr.. Bass would re-
frain from entering party caucus,
which would most likely be called to
nominate democratic candidates for
various state offices and, perhaps, to
steer the party unitedly in support of
given legislation. At that time the
question was put up to them by MI
Milton he said, as to whether Mr.. Bass
would refrain from entering a party |
caucus, which would most likely be |
called to nominate democratic candi-
lates for various state offices and, per-
maps, TO steer the party unitedly in
support of given legislation.
Later, said Mr.. Betterton, both he
md the mayor were asked to use their
influence with Mr.. Bass to secure a
pledge that he would thus absent him.

or such pledge Mr.. Bass was to have

Squire Bass has declined to make
my such pledge.

Without Taking Into Account the
1876 Rangers Imprisoned on the
Headwatcrs of the St Joe

Spokane, Aug. 25.-The mystery of
the bodies found in the st. Joe coun-
try of Idaho probably will be cleare up
today when the Milwaukee railroad

One hundred and six men living in the

Twenty-Five bodies, supposed to be
those of settlers were found yesterday.
Several days ago twenty bodies were

them in list of dead employees.
Last night, however, he declared they
were not rangets. Add the number of
dead rangers, "A; the A bodies found
near Avery; the ten japanese who per-
ished near Avery and the various
known dead in Washington, Idaho,
