Clashes Between Nugent and Dubois
Men is Expected at the State
Democratic Convention
LOCAL DEMOCRATS WANT CLARK
Hope to Secure Instructed Delegation
For Their Favorite

The democratic leaders at Boise
and the southern part of the state
predict one of the stormiest and
most holly contested democratic
conventions at Occur d Alene on
June 8 ever held in Idaho, and none
of them will venture adefinite fore
cast as to what the outcome will be,
The fight, it is declared, has mar
rowed down to the one paramount
ISSUE viz, Fred T Dubois-shall
he be allowed to control, or APP
pear to control the convention?
The opposition to Dubois and
Clark, the presidential candidate
he represents, is made up mostly of
the political enemies made during
past political contests and the Nor
mon church with its influence in
toto, and to say that this element
is antagonistic to Dubois is putting
it very mildly.
One of the most uncompromising
of the anti Dubois leaders is John
+. Nugent, chairman of the state
central committee, and he is sup
ported by leaders from all parts of
the state. They say unqualiiedly
that any action by the convention
which can i'll any way give rise to
the belief over the state that Dubois
is debating the action of the con
vention would sweep away all hope
of democratic success i'll Idaho,
both in the state and national cam
paign.
These leaders are advocating
that the state delegation be sent to
Baltimore unrestricted, and they
propose to make fight to this end.
tits known that the Clark forces
will not be content with either a
divided or uninstructed delegation,
and they are preparing to make a
fight on the floor of the convention
for instructions for their candidate,
and it is rumored that Governor
Hawley will indirectly, if not open
ly, lend his aid to this movement
at the proper time. The Wilson
