Former Senator Has Had Enough OF
Democratic Politics.

A Boise correspondent says that
word comes from Blackfoot that Fred

family at that place where he has his
home, and that he will take no part
whatever in the campaign this year.
He has disposed Of his interest IN the
insurance business in Washington,
D. c., and will not return to that city.
It has been made clear since the pri-
mary election that Dubois was wholly
instrumental in getting William c.
Whitwell into the senatorial race. His
object Is said to have been the defeat
of Hawley in the primary and the de-
feat of Nugent at the polls Since he
failed in that object 1t is announced
that he will remain quiet and take no
part whatever
