Re publican May
Get Appointment

While the Democratic political dope
sheet has not been opened to us and
we have not been allowed peep be-
mind the scenes, it appears that
change at the Blackfo'ot asylum is
scheduled to occur in a short time,
and as the rumor has it an interest
ing circumstance will develop in that
a Republican is to be rewarded for
his fealty to the cause of Moses.
1t is reported that the next asylum
board will consist of L. E. Dillingham;
OF Mackay, George Fisher of Bannock
and another individual of Blackfoot,
and that the superintendent of the
institution will be Dr. Poynter, Bear
Lake county DR.. Poole of this city
was prominently mentioned for the
appointment, but it seems that it did
not particularly appeal to him and the
political medicine was mixed another
way.
Mr.. Dillingham; is the editor of the
Mackay Miner, and while he is a Re-
publican, and has been for years, his
devoted his energies to the election
of Mr. Alexander, and as Moses has
established the theory of letting the
party workers hold the sack while he
takes on new material, more appoint
ments of the same startling nature
are likely to perturb the Jefferson.
ians. And at that Les Dillingham;
will doubtless make one of the most
efficient board members tho institu.
tion ever possessed, as he has abil-
ity and knows the needs of institu-
tions of the state about as well as
the next fellow.
It is also rumored that the game
wardenship may not 60 to Roy Jones
as at first scheduled, as there is re-
ported to rip in the sheets between
Nugent and Alexander, and as Jones
is a Nugent candidate he may get
sidetracked in the process. It would
not be at all startling to see the ap-
pointmcnt given to Prohibitionist or
a Bull Mooser, according to tho &C.

Political Wounds
Apparently Healed

Political wounds have apparently
been healed as between Governor M.
Alexander and Fred T. Dubois, ex-
United States senator, one of the
leading men Of the southeast judg-
ing from the act of Idaho's chief ex-
ecutive, for Monday he presented to
him a flattering letter of Introduction
to President Moore of the Panama
Pacific international exposition, ask
ing him to extend to Mr. Dubois and
his companion every courtesy during
their visit to the exposition grounds
1t is needless to say that President
Moore will comply with the request
This letter was handed to Mr. Du-
bois after conference with Governor
Alexander at which the best feelings
prevailed. If there were any political
difference betweens1NA two men they
were not displayed on the surface at
the conference. Mr. Dubois compan-
ion is G. F. Carusi, a leading attor-
ney of Washington, who is making his
first trip to the west. They left for
Portland and from there go to San
Francisco. Later they will return to
Washington.
