No Laws Against Polygamy

The Jack Mormon papers and cam
paigners are MI saying that the laws
Of Idaho are sufficient to punish any
case OF polygamy that may be known
to exist within the Jurisdiction.
This statement Is made solely for the
purpose Of deceivlng the voters.
The fact Is no case Of Mormon polyg-
amy can be reached by our existing
Idaho statutes. Even the fragrant
case OF Bishop Bulge Is exempt from
prosecution. lie confesses to the
practice Of polygamy, and his three
wives are openly acknowledged, and
his Legitimate children are publicly
chrlstened In the name OF Bulge,
and there Is no law that will reach
4 this, or any other case OF Mormon
polygamy In this state. The Jack
Mormons quote statute against
blgamy but this statute Is made void
by IA provision requiring the presen-
tation of Il legal record Of more than
one marriage ceremony, This law Is
dcsignedly made void so far as the
Mormon practices are concerned. AS
proof OF this state of affairs the fact
may he cited that no Mormon has
ever been convicted under the state
laws for this tlagrant immortality, ant
there are hundreds of notorious case'
In the state. The laws which on
republican politicians defend arr
especially designed to protect Nor
mon lasciyiousness. The blot upol
, our state is pointed at with scorn b.
every civilized country In the world.
