Bulge, lie expressed the opinion
that tho Republicans would carr
the Slate, and that the chances fol
Duboisare good, but that it depended
upon the strength with which the
North pushed its claims to one Sena
torship. Governor Shoup, he said,

able, highminded, opposed TO trick,
cry and fraud, and the tool Of nc
man or party. And this he said
was the prevailing sentiment among
the ''AiOrmonsv in Bear Lake Coun.
ty.
In answer 10 the question rs to
what was the motive Of this outcry
about the "AIormon" vote, he said
there could be only two causes. One,
that Notwithstanding the facts, per
haps some Republicans were really
foolish enough to believe that be-
cause ELECTROMAGNETIC made such
persistent efforts to maintain their
rights al the polls for several years,
they intended 10 make another
struggle. And the other, that fore

msnts in support % the Republican
ticket but, +" he repeated. ''there
is not the slightest foundation for
the idea that any member Of the
Mormon" Church in Idaho intends
= vote at the coming election"
We consider the arrests that have
been made aud others that are in
tended, and theoutcry which is being
mace,are both for political effect ana
for a malicious purpose. Seeing that
there is positively no ground for be-
lieving that the 'sAiormons'' will
attempt to take part in the election,
the trouble, expense and disturbance
caused 10y this new assault upon
them Is without excuse. And We
believe it is prompted by the same
devilish ant Christian spirit
which has burned in the bosoms Of
many sectariens and some infidels.
against a people whose filth they
cannot comprehend aud whose viz
.ues they viii not emulate. How
sver, we are comforted by the con.
7iction that such 4 people rs the |
Latter-day Saints cannot long be |
sept under the heels Of oppreg
5-s, nor long remain without recog-
iition As good citizens, worthy OF
very right and privilege that can
'e enjoyed in this free land.
