IDAHO, WYOMING AND THE
"NORMOyS.-

PRESS comments on the election
in Wyoming have illustrated once
more the ignorance Of the editors Of
this country eonceIaing the s.AIor-
mons people. Also their manner
ofjumping atcOnclusions is exposed.
Here is what the New York World
says on this subject:
'sThe first election in the new State
OF Wyoming resulted in 4 reduction OF
the Republican majority from os9i TO
1000 or 1909. aud the election OF Re
publican Legislature.
This viii cary out The purpose FOR
which the State was admi'ied-of but
rezsiDg the Republican majo.i; 10
The Seuato agaiusi any popular revolt
which may take place in the House
and the P-e5ideney from the con. rol Of
the par Y now IN power.
The COUNTIES on The Utah border
which contIin tue Mormon popuIa-
lion, gave large Republican msio lee.
Tbs vii no doubt lead the sai,b-uI
orsansof that pariy IN iae T. 20
regard this peculiar people As LIT r
DAY Sa nts.' Their suppo Cd pned'-
lee ion for ths Democratic party has
caused them . be spoken OF a. soas G.
Belis'.''
Now contrast this with the fol-
lowing from the New York Pres:
"Afer two or three days OF doubt,
caused by baseless Democratic Gains,
itturns out that he Repaid e Il have
car ed the first Sac e.ee sol n
Wyoming by a good MAORI. The
Legsla ure is largely Repub'-e4n.

Mormon element is s.rOng in two
counties = The SAFE, aud the Mormon
authorizes at salt Lake contributed a
large fund to help tbe Democraiscarry
tho State. Considering thess things,
tle Wyoming election is another de-
oisive Republican victory"
Which Is right, the Wor'I or the
Press? We venture the assertion
that neither Of them knows any
thing about 'the Mormon vote in
Wyoming" And from what we
can learn it is sure that there was
no ''solid Mormon vot-'' for either
party. The iiel that money was
furnished from this city to help The
. DemOcrai fight in Wyoming.
when it Is claimed both in
the State and out OF it that
The Republican victory was due -

and Uintah counties, is very anus
ing i it does not argue much intel
ligence on the part OF the metroD5l-

uttered it.
