So far as Is known, this Is the first time any party organization in the state has attempted to exercise or ganlzatlon Influence a year prior to the time .for nominations. Further fmor. ll is an inciaeni. win . asnVor th1. weJlho' more. It la an incident, without prece- es a fight rses of th party, at a time when all Democrats are looking to methods that will unite the Incongruous elements within the Democratic party In this state. Fgo I Mack Harked. The letter 1 voluminous and con tains in all about 3000 words. In it the state chairman makes use of the personal pronoun "I" Just 33 times. He then affixes bis name as "chairman." Thla letter has gone forth to all mem bers of tfTe Democratic State Com mittee. In the various counties of this atate. Chairman Nugent'a attack is Intense, bitter and vitriolic and In his third paragraph he says: "The Judge (referring to Attorney Perky) Is a sheep owner and attorney for the Woolgrowers' Association, and I naturally assume that Harmon Is the Democratic choice of that organi sation for the Presidency, as I hav been advised authoritatively that 'Big Business' la for him." Mr. Perky does not own sheep now nor has he done so at any time. Then the state chairman charges that the Harmon supporters are linked with the "trust magnates of the Repub lican party." Later he takes the members of the Democratic State Committee into his confidence in this manner: "I desire to inform you that I have been advised that large sums of money are expended to mould public opinion In favor or Harmon through the medium of newspapers and that a large proportion of article praising him and published a press dispatchea are sent out from his headquarters and their publication la paid for. by whom?" As matter of fact, the Democracy of Idaho is not In a fair way to be Harmonized. Hamsoa's Heacamea la Idaho. Attorney Perky and all the sheep men in the state could not carry this state for Harmon In the state conven tion and It la the wonder of his ac quaintances that the state chairman did not reach this conclusion before he dictated his impolitic letter to the members of the state committee. Shortly after the publication of this letter Lieute'nant-Governor Nichols, of the State of Ohio. Harmon's represen tative, came to Idaho, to give his views. Mr. Nichols assured Idaho Democrats that neither he nor Gover nor Harmon desired an Instructed dele gation from Idaho. All he asked, he said, was a -delegation which would come to the National convention with open minds to talk over the relative strength of respective aspirants. One of the interesting political moves In Idaho that will be worth observa tion will be the disposition which the party voters will make of Chairman J. Nugent. Mr. Nugent was born In Idaho. He was born at Silver City and his father was a distinguished Judge who served this district for many years. He began his political career as County Attorney of Owyhee County, to which office ha waa elected and re-elected several times. Twelve years ago he made his Initial appearance in atate politics as member of the state convention and for years thereafter he was In every convention of his party, usually as the chairman of his delegation. He is an orator of considerable ability. Marts! Joined Moraaeaa. Immediately following the murder of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg, Nugent was secured as an attorney for the defense of the Western Federation of Miners. During the atate campaign following the murder of Steunenberg Nugent became piqued through an aprehenslon that he waa being over looked, and early in tne campaign following he took voluntary charge of a revolt within the party: he Joined with the Mormons and organised a bolt tor th Twin Fails convention coovenedj to elect a delegation to the National Democratic convention. In the first campaign under bla leadership, the anti-Mormon element of the party were simply out of it. They paid no sort of attention to poll- ...nninv th ticket in toto. but a large number picking out j canaiaaies ner atnu i nci n nu -wis refusing to vote for anyone. In th next campaign, which waa the last In the state, Nugent favored the re-nomination of Alexander "for Gov ernor. He assumed a leaderabip more dominant than any In the party sine the organization of Idaho .Democracy. When Rice, of Canyon County, an nounced his candidacy for Governor. Nugent charged "bad-faith" on the part of Rice, because, he claimed. Rice had promised that he would run to be the candidate for Supreme Court Judge, Alexander to be the candidate for Governor. Hawley'a Friends IVomlaated Him. Then Hawley'a friends nominated him for the Gubernatorial race. Fol lowing the withdrawal of Alexander, Nugent turned the party organization to Rice. Hawley carried every county In the state at the direct primary. Naturally, the retirement of Nugent waa prophesied, it was in . tion of the candidate for Governor that I Nugent left Eim free to choose a chair- man from among his own personal devotees, a privilege usually accorded the nominee party. When the candi dates met,McClure nominee for Judge. Bowen nominee for Congress and Moore nominee for Attorney-General, insisted on Nugent. . . Ham-ley yielded and Nugent was named. Scores and scores of Demo crata refused to visit headquarters through the election and in a short time the chairman abandoned his office and took the stump and remained In the field until towards the close of the campaign. Governor Hawley succeeded at the polls by 800 votes out of a poll of 100.000. - DOUBLE MURDER RETOLD ALLEGED SLAYER OF MR. AXD MRS. COBLE BEFORE JVRl.
