WARNING DEMOCRATIC FAC
TONS TO CLASH AT HALEY.

When John T. Nugent stopped off
few days at Boise recently, it was ev-
identity for the purpose Of lining up
his old political forces for the ap-
preaching campaign under the lead
ership OF Moses Alexander for while
Mr. Nugents federal position keeps
him out of active politics, he never
theless continues to make his influ
ence felt in the demoinant faction of
the democratic party Of Idaho. A
Boise correspondent of the HALEY
Times News Miner, a democratic pa
per gives an interesting insight to
the strife that is now going on in the
democratic ranks which will culmin-
ate in bitter fight for control of the
democratic convention at HALEY on
August %. According TO this CORE
spondent, the Nugent element is back
ing Moses Alexander for the nomina-
ton for governor while the opposing
candidate, Judge W. NJ Morgan. is
sponsored by the Days. In connection
with the activity of the DAYS in be-
half Of Judge Morgan the Boise cor
respondent refers to Dan Greenberg
as "the acknowledged outrider and
lieutenant of the Days" and says he
has for weeks been exceedingly busy F,
in southern Idaho. This is Interesting s
news in this section, where it has been {
understood that Greenberg had been {
removed from the Day payroll, polit- {
ically and otherwise But here is {
what the correspondent of the HALEY S
paper says regarding the democratic {
situation: O.
Democrats are not so happy. (
As the time for the primaries and
conventions approaches it is made
more certain every day that there
is to be real fun this year among
the followers of jefferson. Jack T.
son and Wilson. In this camp N
there is nothing settled, and many
unlocked for things are possible.
New Freedom, the official or Il
gan of the democrats here at the L
capital, came out this week with e.
strong editorial plea for the a,
nomination of Moses Alexander as
the peoples choice for governor
1t went so far as to insist upon an W
instructed delegation from Ada IS
.,
This is taken by the knowing e.,
ones to mean that the followers
OF John F. Nugent in the party ~
and this means now the followers We
of Moses Alexander-see danger ds
of the nomination of Judge VIII ar
liam M. Morgan for governor.
THE real significance of this
lies in the fact that Morgan is Ia
looked upon as the candidate of mt
the Days-Harry and Jerry And te.
between the Days and their fol- r,
lowers on one hand and Nugent
and Alexander and their follow a.
ers on the other there has been SCI
war to the knife and the knife to wi
the hilt for, loi these many moons eel
Dan Greenberg, the acxnowl-
edged outrider and lieutenant of or
the Days, has been the busiest
politician in all Idaho for weeks
past and the seed he has sown in
all the counties Of southern Ida
no is just beginning to crop ND. an,
1t is asserted that many surprises
are in store for the party leaders va
who imagined they had every out
thing 'sewed up by
"On the whole it looks now as thr
If the democrats were setting up 80
their pins for a right sociable
knock down land drag-Out little 'iO'
scrimmage when they meet in div
HALEY next month" VIII
