named by Governor James II iiawley
will be from among three prominent
Idaho Democrats, with the chances ia
voring the honor going to north Idaho,
as the governor indicated some time
ago. The three Democrats, to which
the race for the appointment Is now
confined, are Frank ]. Moore, prom
sinent attorney of MOSCOW; Henry Heit-
fed, ex-United States senator, Of Lew
iston. and Judge * l. Perky of Boise.
While the governor declared last night
he has not settled on any one of the
three named, it is claimed here among
his close advisers, that Mr. Hcitfeid

Dubois May Be Eliminates.
Ex-United States Senator FrcI Il.
Dubois appears to have been eliminated
from consideration not that the Friends;
of the Blstcllfoot statesman have failed
to be active in his behalf. but because
the governor appears TO be set in his
determination To carry out his former
word that tho north should have the
honor The Dubois men have NOS Civ
en- up the fight. They started i at
ter the returns from the southeastern
Mormon counties We're heard from in
the Tuesday election and they halieve
they are justified in their claim that
the governor can repud'ate the Nor
mons by appointing the man they con-
slider their worst and most bitter en-.
envy, for Dubois raised the Norman
issue years ago and had never recedcd
from the. stand he took then that in
time the state of Idaho would have 10
come face ia face with tie issue Of
Church interference in politics.
The senatorial contest has developed
,the fact that during the campaign 'he
Republicans took advantage Of the fear
of the Mormons that Dubois miSht bH
appointed by Governor Hawley, and al
though the word is said to hav. been
given out that the church shortd stand

kept into line Ny the Dubois specter.
Dubois and Federal Patronage.
1t is said that the more diplomatic
counselors who held audiences with the
governor, reasoned that the appoint
ment of Dubois now, in the face of the
election returns, would only act as con
elusive proof to the Mormons that the
pre- election argument used was wei
founded, and what they feared was in
reality what happened. 1t was also
pointed out that only few people III
the state would understand that the
appointment of Dubois was made as q
punishment of the church vote, and II
might leave the impression that tht
governor fell back on this medium OF
Securing revenge in which there was
no political advantage.
Whether Mr.. Dubois expects the APP
pointment or not he is not said to bt
worrying over it, for he is now speed
ing towards the national capital where
he has been called to take part in the
councils of the Democratic nationa
powers to-be. Dubois is to be the Ida

The fact that Idaho is probably j,
