Show Tribune As4?i$ting Dubois. H I Oppose Idaho Re publican Leader Te Infirmary "Petard An H Embarrassing Dispatch General "Politics H The anti-Republican policy of the Tribune is K now being worked on a broader scale than at H first. While still announcing Its support of the H presidential electors, it is doing everything in its H power to assist Senator Dubois of Idaho, the K strongest enemy of the administration in that B state. m Its assistance of Dubois is In the torm of dis- B patches which appear almost daily in the bolting H organ, attacking Heyburn, Borah and the other Hjl Republican leaders and setting forth the merits 1 of the campaign being waged by the Idaho sen-1 sen-1 vv ator. The official organ of the Democracy in m I Idaho is not doing half the valiant service for Hit the ticket that the Tribune, which has a large H circulation in that state, is performing. H When the Tribune's hostility towards the Re- HU publican ticket in this state is carried to the ex- HI tent of rendering assistance toward the defeat of H the state and electoral ticket in a neighboring IB state, the gravity and danger of the matter from B a Republican standpoint becomes a little alarm- H ing. Up in Idaho, people are not so familiar with Hf the unholy political methods of the owner and Hj manager of the Tribune as they are here, and Rl Its strenuous support of the Democracy of that IH state may be a formidable weapon against the Hf people who are fighting for the Roosevelt elec- Bi tors in Idaho. The election in that state this Hf year, from all indications, will be extremely close, S and 11 uuunoc be denied that the Tribune's aid B may take from the Republicans enough strength H to elect the entire Democratic ticket. The con- H trol of the state only passed into Republican H hands two years ago, and with the state so dis- m j-,-,--- rupted by the Issue raised by Senator Dubois, Republican victory is far from certain. It is small wonder that Senator Dubois raised his voice in advocacy of the Kearns' American party shortly after its formation. He was shrewd enough to see that the Tribune desired precisely the same result as lie, and was not slow to recognize recog-nize that the organ might be of material assistance assist-ance to him this year. More and more it becomes apparent that this whole American party business was a part of the conspiracy of the old political syndicate, of which Senator Clark, Dubois, Kearns and Frank J. Cannon were among the charter members. Does anyone longer doubt that Senators Dubois and Cannon, the twin political acrobats of the Intermountain states, are working together in American party affairs, or that Mr. Cannon is being be-ing warmly supported In his endeavors by the National Democratic committee? |
