POCATELLO. Ida, Oct. PA report
has been widely circulated at Paris,
Montpelier and other towns through
out southeastern Idaho, this week, TO
the effect that the leading officers of
the Mormon church at Salt Lake have
issued instructions to the Mormons of
Idaho to- support Mckinley for presi-
dent, and to use every honorable effort
to prevent the return of Fred. T. Du-
bois to the United States senate. While
the report is not generally credited, it
is having a demoralizing effect among
a large number of Mormons in this sec
ton of the state.
A denial OF the report is eagerly
looked for from President Woodruff by
supporters of Bryan and Dubois.
