WOULD OBEY
Mormon Rule Before That
of United States.
Bold Assertion of Witness in
Smoot Hearing.
Equally Bold Admissions by Witnesses
Of Polygamous Lives.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-When the
Senator Smoot investigation was re-
sumed. Saturday. Charles H. Jackson,
chairman of the Democratic state COM
mittee of Idaho. who testified, yester-
day. in regard to the Mormon interfer-
cnce in political affairs. was recalled.
The influence of the Mormons was
shown. said the witness. by the fact
were unable tn get chairmen of politi-
cal meetings held in Mormon counties
without the aid of MOrmons.
On cross-eXamination Mr.. Jackson
said that the Apostles Matthias. Crow
ley and John Henry Smith. were
among those who went into Idaho and
told the people that there ad been a re-
velation and that they should vote the
Republican ticket Questioned by Mr..
Van Cctt. representing Senator Smoot,
the witness said he never had heard
these apostles declare that there had
been such revelations: that it has al
ways been taken for granted there has
been revelation when a Mormon
apostle appears in Idaho to direct
political affairs. Characterization
drew from the witness that he knew
only general repute of these affairs and
that his statements, made yesterday
concerning sugar legislation and boun-
ties. was based on the same Informal
ton. He asserted, however, that it is
well known that the Mormons had ask
cd the Legislature to pass the sugar
bounty law. "And the Modmons get
everything they ask in Idaho whether
it is a Republican or Democratic Legis-
lature," he concluded.
Mr.. Van Colt brought out the fact
that there were about 10000 Mormon
votes out of total of $1,000 votes cast
in the state. He asked the witness If it
was true that although the Gentiles
were in large majority. and that the
Democrats put an anti-Mormon plank
in their platform and the Republicans
refused to put in such a plank, the Re-
publicans carried the state by a very
large majority. 49,
"That is a bald fact" responded the
witness, but he added that the infer
ence drawn by the attorney from the
question was not justified.
Mr.. Jackson contenced that there
were "Jack-Mormons," or Gentiles, who
are Mormon in political affairs, who
are able to control elections.
An effort was made by Mr.. Van Colt
to show that the Mormon delegates in
the last Democratic state convention
had agreed to vote for an anti-poly-
gamy resolution il the crime of adultery
were included also. Mr.. jackson declar-
ed the reverse to be true; that in fact
the Mormon delegates defeated the
resolution.
Mr.. jackson in answer to questions
by Chairman Burrows. told Of the pas
gage OF resolution by the Idaho Leg
nature calling for constitutional con-
vfnt1on. He said that the resolution
cfeated no comment and in fact its pur-
pPse was ignored until Senator Dubois
nad written letter calling attention to
pe fact that such convention could
repeal the Idaho tests against poly
Bamy. Mr.. Jackson said the resolution
had been put through the LegIslature

sIRENcTHEN THE PARTY.

From Maryland Republican.
The big newspapers OF the country are
publishing whole lot OF twaddle rela-
tive to Democracy's future. just now,
when the Democracy has not had time 20
recover from its stunning knockout il no
time 10 talk OF the future. The Democra-
cy needs a little time 20 recover and get
its bearings. This viii come about in
natural course and the party will get in
20 shape and be ready to again do battle.
Those who now see no future for it and
those who would construct a future from
their vain imaginings will both alike
wonder as they see she old party gather
itself together and again begin 10 fight
and win battles. Nationally, little can
be done for two years. The whole gov
eminent is in the hands Of Democraey's
enemies. AT the next Congressional cleo
ton the party will. without doubt, make
a good showing, very much better than
at the recent election. And two years
later it will again battle for the control
VI bit kONtAAuEhAf WIN " hnboANsNoo ~
man can now foretell. In the meantime
the party should strive everywhere to
strengthen itself Here in Maryland let
us make sure that our state shall remain
in Democratic control so that its vote
shall be certain for Democracy's cause
when its vote may be needed. Maryland's
election next fall will be OF supreme inn
portance and every Democrat should be-
gin now to realize it, The Republicans
fully realize It's Importance and they are
even now beginning TO prepare for it.
The democracy must prepare and be
ready. Begin now to take thought and
be ready and prepared when the time
comes. Dismiss from your minds and
forget the election, which is passed. Get
ready for that which is TO come. that
which is to determine the political COM
troll of your State. This is in your own
hands. The Democrats OF Maryland can
shape and control its destinies. DO it.

Il is the boast of many of the big
newspapers that they are independent,
that they are not party organs They
boast that the day of the party organ is
passed, that il has and eau have no in

election which has just passed the indie
pendent newspapers are not overmru-
entail In New York a majority of the
big papers were for Parker and yet he
was beaten worse than Bryan whom
they were all against except one. In
Maryland all the big newspapers were
tor Parker except one and yet Parker's
vote in Baltimore, the home of the big
newspapers, was less than Bryan's in
1900 when only one paper supported him.
Ii may puzzle these big newspapers to
account for this condition, but to us IL e
reason is not far to find. These big
newspapers are purely business affairs
and the people have come to SO regard
them. Their editorial utterances the
people regard as simply part of the
paper and they carry, TO say the least,
no more weight, no more conviction
than do the paid advertisements or the
local political news.
In short.these big papers have ceased to
have that hold on the people which they
used to have before the day of their indie
pendence, They have become indepen-
dent OF party and their readers have be-
come independent of them. As business
enterprises they have grown and pros
pered, but as leaders of political thought
and potential influences in shaping
political events, their power has greatly
essened.
