plause) They talk about the inva-

They mistake the temper of the citi-
zens Of Idaho If it is possible for such
influence to effect in any way the

that you should be charged
with being under the influence of men,
just men and that Is all, living in a

you knew who lived in Utah, Nevada
Colorado or New Mexico and you
were in doubt 2s to how you should
exercise some public or private func-

| Could you tell me how any statute
could prevent you from doing 1t? sup

vote the Republican or Democratic

dentia lly that you had better vote the
Republican ticket as 1t represented

states; would It be n crime II you
took his advice? They say we
pledgc ourselves and our members OF
the Il gislature whom we nominate 10
enact laws to prevent the DONNA

They can't do It, 1t is simply false
issue 1t is cry raised to divert your
minds from the real issues OF TINS
campaign, 1t does not affect your
moral, or your prosperity. 1t doesh
threaten your homes or your happl-

of your own conscience and your
own Judgment in the exercise of your
nolitiral and personal rights. No man
can control YOU against your own
will (applause) men of Idaho.
