Mr. Borah was
1 he audience showed
its appreciation by paying the do
sest attention to the speaker for
nearly two and one-half hours. He
spoke upon state and national is
sues, explaining the relations of
of the republican party thereto,
und then took up the Dubois hob- j
by of Mormonism, which he went
into at considerable length, and j
when he had finished the Dubois
hobby was utterly demolished.
Mr, Borah was met at the depot i
on his arrival by a large number
of republicans, acconij anied by the
band, and escorted to the hotel.
Flags were Hying and explosives
were fired in honor of his arrival,
while a largo banner was stretched
across the street, bearing the in
scription, ' Welcome to our next
U. S. Senator, \V. E. Borah.In
the evening the hand was again
called out - colored lights ««re
l,Ur,led and explosives fired.
Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather a largo crowd had
assembled before the hour adver
tised, and Chairman T. J. Jones
opened the meeting a quarter of an
hour ahead of time.
On the platform, besides the
chairman, were Mr. Borah; Charles
McDonald, nominee for sheriff ;
Peter Johnson, nominee for coun
ty attorney; Joseph Fallon and 9.
D. Taylor, nominees for represen
tatives; O. J. Bandelin, nominee
for Justice of the peace, and J. W.
McKnigbt, O K. Rosebaugh, Mal
colm Bruce and O. E. Blakeslec.
The hall was artistically decora
ted for the occasion.
The meeting opened with music
by the band, followed by an instru
mental s lection by Miss May
Hart.
Chairman Jones then introduced
Hon. Joseph Fallon, of Coeur
d'Alene, wh i spoke enteriainingly
for nearly half an hour, in Ui«
course of his remarks taking occa
sion to jab Senator Dubois sharply
for urging the creation of forest re- )
serves, particularly in Kootenai j
county, and commending Senator i
Heybum for his great fight against
the reserves, and asking the voters j

eloquent and forceful speech was
never delivered in Bonners Ferry,
while his keen wit and cutting sar
casm always brought applause.
His discourse on the achievements,
of the republican party was strong,
and his appeal to republicans to
remain true to the party was logi
cal. When he reached the Mor
mon question, he invited anyone
in the audience to ask any ques
tion upon any part of the contro
versy that he did not make clear.
When ho had finished with the

against a polygamous Mormon, and
Borali challenged Duhois two
he would prosecute it, and prove
that the laws of this state, passed
by republican legislatures, were
sufficient to land any polygamous
Mormon in the penitentiary. Mr.
i Duhois had not accepted the dial

gr(mnd <){ 8enatorial llignity . The
spea k er said that Duhois did not
want a prosecution, because the
; conviction of a single polygamous
Mormon would she«'that the laws
were sufficient and would destroy |

Mr. Borah referred to the fact
iiiat Mr. Dubois had been in con
gress sixteen years, and had not
been the author of a single law de- 1
signed to protect the home. Were
Dubois to remain sixteen years

Republican enthusiasm is very 1
marked in Bonners Ferry, and !
greater enthusiasm and more
workers arc in evidence than ever
before. The young republicans are
especially distinguishing them
selves, and a careful poll of Bon
ners Ferry precinct shows that the
republican majority of two years j
ago will be largely increased. |
Anyone at all familiar with po
litical conditions in this state
knows that there is no possibility

The Herald this week presents
its readers in surmlemcntal form
us readers, in supplemental lorm,
the speech of Senator W. B. Hey
burn, in opening the republican
campaign in Boise in September.
The speech of Senator Heyhurn is
v«y and
the entire field of political contro
versy in Idaho. It is a very able
exiKisition of the republican side in
... Ait' 1 , 1 ■
this contest: fair, logical and in
struclive, and should l>e read by
every voter.
The present republican county
administration has made a splen
did record, and one that every tax
payer can endorie. It has fought
through to a successful termina
tion the cases against the large
corporatioi 8, compelling them to
pay their just share of the burdens
of taxation. By doing this, and by
economy and good business meth
ods, the county commissioners
have been enabled to reduce ti e
rate of taxati. n from $3.20 on the
$100 valuation to $2.70, besides
paying off one-half of the debt of
the county. It is with such a réc
ord that the republicans ask sup
port for their ticket,
The following is taken from an
opposition paper of this county;
"There have been and are many
classes of this mass of bolters.
Galileo was one, so was tnal Ger
man priest who. half way up the
steps at old Rome, ro?e from his
knees and Bolted. Old Martin
Luther was right! We trust that
time shall show that we are not
wrong." This is rather a far fetch
ed comparison and a slap at the
Catholics. It would seem to he
unnecessary to bring religon into
politics.
Senator Dubois says he expects
to win. Of course. The genial
senator said the same thing two
years ago, and yet the state went
republican by n vote of 41,877 for
the republicans to 24,192 for the
Dab is t'cket. The vote in Koote
nai county was 3555 for Gooding
and 1776 for Heitfcld. For presi
dent, the Republican vote In both
state and county was very much
greater.
