REDUCED TO THE
INNER CIRCLE
That Appears to be the Condition of the Bolt in
Kootenai County.
The article which appeared in
the columns of the Herald on
Sept. 8, under the heading of, "The
Morgan Ring Joins Democrats,''
seems to have aroused the ire of
Mr. Morgan and his lieutenants.
That the article hit home to the
leaders of the bolters is in evidence
from the fact that instead of meet
ing the issues candidly and fairly
they have resorted to personal
abuse and mud-slinging, to try to
obscure the real condition and the
If the cause of the bolter is io
righteous and holy, he could take
a higher plane for argument. But
he-does not do so—he cannot ; his
weakness of their stand.
position is false and weak, and he
must resort to bi'lingsgate to bols
ter up a tottering cause.
Judge Morgan and a half-dozen
of his followers are attempting to
betray the Republican parly. They
were fairly and overwhelmingly
defeated in the primaries of the
county. For nearly two years
they have been preparing for just
such action as they have taken, in
case they lost in the convention.
They now openly consort with
Democratic leaders, a thing which
for nearly two years they have
been doing secretly. Their chief
spokesman, although masquerad
ing as a Republican for a few
months, has always been a Demo
crat- a lifelong Democrat.
The Herald was justified in us
, ,, ,, 1 „ t.,
mg the term Morgan Ring. The
Morgan organs have justified the
use of the term. They peisist in
speaking of a Heitiran ring, and
if the friends who gather around
Mr. Heilman as a leader constitute
ring," what are the men who
gather around Judge Morgan as a
leader ? We fail to fee the differ
ence, except that the inner circle
of the Morgan ring has piovcd it
self traitorous to the Bepublican
party, for no cause whatever, ex
cept disappointment that the ma
jority of the party did not deem
them worthy of political prefer
ment.
The parties constituting the in
ner circle of the Morgan ring have
boasted of carrying a vast number
of votes in their vest pockets. Re
ports that reach the Herald are

the peace, O. J. Bandelin and
Thomas Houston receiving practi-i
cally the full vote.
For constable it was different. A
spirited but friendly contest was
waged between W. If. Emery, the
present constable, and William
Castle, the latter not being on the
ground, but backed by O. K. Rose
haugh. The contest was so close
that when the 100th ballot was
counted, the two candidates were
tied. The balance of the ballots
gavc the nomination to Castle by
a majority of 9. Both men are
good Republicans, and either
would have creditably represented
the party.
The officers of election were
Thos. J. Jones and Charlie Nutt.
Preparing Fruit Exhibit.
A. J. Kent is preparing a fine
fruit exhibit to display in his real
estate office. He has purchased
number of glass jars used for such
purposes, and is selecting fruit for
them, and would be glad to receive
samples from fruit growers. He
prepared two jars this week. One
consists of Alberta peaches from
the Annis ranch. They would
prize-w nners, and are large and
luscious-appearing. The other is
jar of caily apples. This fruit was
permitted to get too ripe, but still
shows the size and quality.
Mr. Kent sent a box of fruit
Kalispell, this week, to be exhibit
ed. He is to be commended
his efforts to advertise the resour
ces of the country.
Harney O'Neil, of Shoshone conn
ly, who sometimes figures in Koo
Itenai county politics, and lias been
a strong supporter of the bolters,
before they,bolted, has washed bis
hands of the whole aggregation.
J. A.' Brown, who was chairman
of the Moig-in caucus at the coun
ty convention, says:
countenance in any degiee this so
called bolt of Judge Morgan and a
few of his following. I was for
Judge Morgan's renomination,
took part in the Morgan caucus as
its chairman. We were defeated
by overa helming numbers, and
the majority in a party should
rule it. That is a Republican
principle, and I see no reason tor
going back on it at this time. As
I explained at Coeur d'Alene to
these gentlemen, when they were
counselling revolt at that time, il
can do no good. I shall support
the Republican ticket, of course."
B. S. Defenbach, head of the
Northern Idaho Mercan'i'e Co.,
and a fo.mer Morgan supporter,
says;
to the effect that their attempt to
carry any considerable number of
well-meaning Republicans astray
is proving a miserable failure.
Their runks are becoming depleted
every day as the true situation be
comes more apparent.

DEMOCRATS DESERT DUBOIS.
Former-Congressman John Hailey
Wants no Bogus Democracy.
Hon. John Hailey,
lifelong
Democrat, and who was sent to
Congress from Idaho for three
terms by the Democratic party, and
is recognized today as one of the
wheel horses of the party, repudi
ates Dubois in the following inter
esting letter;
Hon. H. W. Lockhart, Chairman
State Central Committee, Ho se,
Idaho:
Dear Sir—Yours of the 1st re
ceived on the 7th, in which you ex
tend me an invitation to speak in
the present campaign, on certain
lines indicated in your letter, and
also on the platform adopted at the
late Democratic convention hel l in
Coeur d'Alene, .hiding from your
letter and the platform, you seem
to have hut one issue to present to
the voters of Idaho, and that is a I
charge against the Mormons of
church interference in political af
fairs and the practice of polygamy
and of unlawful cohabitation,
have laws upon our statutes which
make the practice of the two latter
a crime. If there is any man, or
if there are any men in Idaho who
know of any man or men in Idaho
who have taken a plural wife or
wives, or practiced unlawful cohab
itation since the head of the Mor
mon church announced more than
ten years ago that the Mormons
had stopped the taking of plural
wiv.s and the practices of unlaw
ful cohabitation, he or they should,
as good citizens, go before the j
proper officer and swear to a com- j
plaint charging them with a crime. '
Have the person or persons who!
have violated the law arrested,
tried by the courts, and, if found
guilty, .punished as prescribed by j
law. I do not know of any viola -1
lions, in Idaho or elsewhere, of the]
law referred to. Nor do 1 know of
We
any Mormon church, or other j
church organization, as a church,
interfering or meddling in politics
in Idaho. If a man or a woman'I
belongs to a chuich, I care not
what church, their paramount duty
is to obey the laws of our country.
We have no laws which prohibit
either maje or female citizens, who
are qualifitd voters, from partici
pating in campaigns, if they choose
to do so.
While I am a Democrat, and be
lieve in Democratic principled, I
fail to find any Democrat c prin
cipl s, as I understand them, in
your platform or your letter. The
universal custom with all political
parties has been for all cai.didates
who accept nominations from anyj
convention to endorse the platform
adopted by the convention which 1
nominates them; and I take it for
granted that the candidates on
your ticket all endorse and approve
the platform adopted by the con
vention at Coeur d'Alene. Believ-1
ing as I do that the convention
that adopted the platform, the
candidates, and the managers of
their campaign, are making a mis- ;
take in the course they seem to be
pursuing, that it will be detrimen
tal to the party and against the
t best interests of 'he people of this
