Rrmaln to Be Seen Lovefeast Is Plan. BOISE. Idaho. May St. (Special.) The fira-ronvanllon situation In th Democratic party In thla stat la alml iar to th ona con front In th Republl rtni prior la the Lewlston convention, but Instead of Senator Borah aa tha power working behind the political x-enea continually belnc switched, there la found maneuvering ba--k of the Democratic partr n ex-lnlted states Senator In Fred T. Dubois. Pres- Idimiil muicir for Champ Clark. Dame Democracy mut decide at tha Coeur d'Alene convention. June J. aa to whether Dubola shall be recognized aa a power by the delegates to be elected to the Baltimore convention and picked because of their friendship to the Presidential manager or shall they ro nnlnstructed and free agents. Dubois la acxloua to deliver his stats sbova all othera to Clark and through Ms lieutenants he la pulling every P lltlral string to do so. From the start he haa met with opposition. But Ir respective of thla opposition. Dubois has a large following. He Is making headway In many of the counties la the state and he may have enough dele gates at Coeur d'Alene to Instruct. Will Haw ley Oat What part Governor Hawlejr will play In the Dubola or antl-Dubola pro gramme la not known. The Governor haa declined to make his position clear prior to the Coeur d'Alene convention through a public statement. Originally be was a strong Harmon man. But sine Harmon haa shown such llttl strength outside of Ma home state, Hawley haa been rather Inclined to lean towards Champ Clark. He la con vtnred that Clark will be tha party' nominee and la said to be wining to brad the Idaho delegation to the Baltl more convention. Many of the leading Democrats be heve that Idaho aliould aend Ita dele gates to tha Baltimore convention un Instructed and unpledged. The Dubola people ara willing to consent to the unlnstrut-tvd feature providing they ran pick the delegate so a to be cer tain of their friendship to Clark. But this programme la strongly opposed by the antl-Dubolsltea. Tney do not be lieve In delivering the state Into th handa of a man who. they assert, al most ruined the party and at last had to be put away politically. Ada County, the largest In the state. I. aa usual, furnishing the entertain ment for th Democrat through th open fight that Is being made between Ktnyoa and Judge Perky, both prom inent attorneys of this city, who want to he selected National committeemen and who charge "ring rule" against each other. Ktnyoa was Indorsed by ih Ada County central committee for .National committeeman. Juilge Perky, it developed afterwards, waa a candi dal for th same office and had been given to understand that be would land it without opposition. When Klnyon apparently "slipped one over on blm.' Judge Perky waa wrathful and hai since been pouring vltrol on bis ene mire, with the result that th fight for th office haa attracted statewide attention aod many of the counties which did not Intend to take part hat indorsed Perky and elgnlfled a will ingness to go Into tha atate convention and fight fur txm. Bryaa Mrs Plakt Lark. There are many Bryan Democrats In this stat who ara determined to prevent the Inatructton of a Clark delegation from Idaho. They bellev that Clark will be unable to aecure the necessary two-thirds vote la th National convnttcn and that at tha opportune time the great commoner of Nebraska will step Into the breach with a "crosa of gold and a crown of thorns' speech as he did In 154 at Chicago and stsmpede the convention fur Bryan, mayhap. That element In tha Democratic party In thla atate. and It 1 a powerful one. bark of Dubola and his plans haa visions of Federal patronage If Clark receive the nomination and there Is disruption at the Republican National convention and the sneaker of th house Is elected. They therefor, are loud In their praise of both Dubois and Clark. The situation represents a crowding to the political pie counter and th Democratic harmony predicted at th Ikemocratlc state convention at t'ouer d'Alene June J now gives every promise of going a glimmering.

The little fellow showed no concern, but went on with his play, no more disturbed than a child would be. It waa not until a man came with a camera that the aeal found occasion for protest at the attention paid him. Not caring for notoriety he retreated from the camera with some spirit.
