Show DUBOIS' LITTLE GAME. The Republican papers of Idaho are warning their constituencies to beware be-ware of "scare-head" stories sont otic from Blackfoot, or which appear in the Salt Lake Tribune, declaring that the work is being done by some of U13 agents of Dubois, who frankly deslre3 tho disfranchisement of the Mormon people, and Is working to that end. Tne Pocatollo Tribune assorts that Dubois can never win another election elec-tion unless such action Is taken. It scouts the Idea of his making a campaign cam-paign for governor, because It Iielieve3 ho will never run for an olllco that requires re-quires n popular vote to elect nnd ho does not daro take tho chance3 of let-ting let-ting tho public tako a shot at him. It further states that having played tho Populht, Democrat and tho Republican game to a finish, he now desires to work an anti-Mormon racket, and that allied with him is the Salt Lako Tribune, Tri-bune, which is willing and ready to wreck the Republican party In Idaho, in Utah also, If it can do so. Very recently Dr. J. W. Glvens was removed from the sunorintendency of the Asylum for tho Insane at Black-foot. Black-foot. Immediately the coi respondent of the Tribune, who Is a tool of Dubois, Du-bois, began sending out a lot of stuff to tho effect that It wis a "Mormon ' movement. Dr. C. A. Hoover was se lected to succeed Glvens and tho Dubois Du-bois ohattorers howled tiieir Indlgna tlon that a "Mormon" had bean chosan to preside over the affairs of the institution, insti-tution, tho Capital News, of which Dubois Is head chef and bottle-cleaner, being especially Indignant. Even Balderson, the man wlt'.i tho wide raz-potaz, raz-potaz, who edits tho Boise Statesman was drawn into tho muddle and under tho hypnotic spell of Dubois, wrote some very nblo nnd especially profound pro-found dlntrlbes against this invasion of tho rights of the dear people. The governor was sovorely criticised for his acts by tho aforesaid Balderson, known in this city ninny years ago, when ho was younger. However, tho governor of Idaho docs not seem to caro for criticism from bucIi authority author-ity as Dubois and his henchmen and tho effort to stampedo tho Republican party to tho Dubois standard in order that a general disfranchisement may be had Is not going to work. Dr. Hoover, by tho way, is not a Mormon, nnd Is not In sympathy with Mormonism, so tho nttempt to make tho romoval of Glvens and the appointment appoint-ment of Hoover appear as a Governor Goodlng-Senntor-Hoyburn-Mormon affair af-fair appears to bo a fiat failure. As a matter of fact tho removal of Glvens and tho selection of Hoover was nothing noth-ing but an application of party politics. poli-tics. Hoover Is a Republican; Glvens Is a Democrat. It was simply tho jarring jar-ring loose of one party appointee to make room for a man from tho other side. In any other state it would not havo causf'd any Hurry whatever. But In Idaho, wjiere Dubois Is running wild, like the Durango prospector, In tho story, It Is whooped up for all it is worth. Another phase of tho matter mat-ter is the stand Dr. Givens has taken. Recognizing the fact that it was simply sim-ply a political movement, he has abided abid-ed by the result and is making no talk, or fuss, about tho affair at all. Ho stepped down and out, after Installing Install-ing Ills successor without raising I1I3 voice In protest. Although recosnlz-ing recosnlz-ing that the place was a good thlnj; In the matter of aalary, one In which ho would like to havo continued, ho resigned himself to tho mutations of politics and took up the practice of hli profession wJiero he left off. Tho Dubois papers snorted and are still snorting, and will continue"" to snort in tho hope of getting something tangible to work on, but the game Is a losing one and Fred will have to try something else. Of course whenever a Democrat Is removed to make way for a Republican, people may expect to have a repetition of what has happened hap-pened in the case of Glvens, but it is not likely that Balderson will stand In with the Du'jols crowd in all emergencies. |
