MORMONS In POLITICS.
Chairman jackson Continues His Evil
dence Before Smoot Committee.

Washington, Dec. 17.-When the SEN
ator Smoot investigation was resumed
Charles Jackson, chairman of the Dem
ocratic state committee of Idaho was
again called to the stand. He is the
witness who testified in regard to Nor
mon interference in political affairs.
The examination followed similar lines
today. AS an illustration of the local
church issue in the last election Mr..
Jackson said the vote for Gooding, Re
publican candidate for governor, ran be-
hind the vote for Roosevelt in gentle
counties and ahead of Roosevelt In the
Mormon counties; while the vote for
Heitfeld, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor ran ahead of Parker in the gen
tile counties and behind Parker in the
Mormon counties. The influence of the
Mormons was shown, said the witness
by the fact that the Democrats and
Independents were unable to get chair
men of political meetings held in Nor
mon counties without the aid of Nor
mons.
On cross-examination Mr.. Jackson
said that Apostles Matthias Cowley and
John Henry Smith were among those
who went into Idaho and told the peo
pie that there had been a revelation that
they should vote the Republican ticket.
Questioned by Attorney Vancott, rep
resenting Senator Smoot, the witness
said he never had heard these apostles
declare that there had been such revela-
tons: that it had always been taken
for granted there has been revelation
when a Mormon apostle appears in Ida
no to direct political affairs. CroSS-eX-
animation drew from the witness that
he knew only from general repute of
these affairs and that his statements
made yesterday concerning sugar legis-
lation and bountieS was based on the
same information. He asserted, how
ever, that it is well known that the
Mormons had asked the legislature TO
pass the sugar bounty law and wanted
It for the reason that sugar manufac-
ture has been hailed as Mormon IN
stitution in Idaho land the Mormons

whether it is a Republican or Demo-
cratic legislature" he concluded Attor-

the election returns in Idaho in 1904 and
attempted to prove that If the vote for

had been thrown out, Gooding, the Re-

NEVER BROKE GROUND.
But Member Who Is a Broker, just
the Same.

A few days ago this paper in an
article giving the callings of the va
rious members of the forthcoming
legislature inadvertently put in the
wrong class Geo. B. Cones of Meade,
Kas.. epresentative-elect from the
counties. Mr.. Cones is a broker and
not a farmer. He sets the State Jour-
nal and the public right in the follow
ing letter:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
have been somewhat amused by
the classification you have me in, in a
late edition of your paper, as a men,
ber-elect of the next house.
While / am not at all ashamed of
the company you have placed me in
that of a farmer and stock raiSer-I
am compelled to say in the interest
of truth that I have never to this date
plowed a furrow ten feet long nor
scattered one quart of golden seed
over the fertile prairies of this state
or that of any other.

office here eight years, and was ap-
pointed receiver of them both; elected
county treasurer of this county in
1897, served one term, refused re-
nomination.

real estate and bond business, devot-
ing the most of my time, however, to
buying defaulted Kansas and Colo

While the offense you have COM
mitted is not at all serious, / write
You thus. leaving it to you whether
you wish to make any correction Am
