YOUR LAST CHANGE,

There rs only one day left this year
on which citizens may register as vot-
ors IN this state. Notwithstanding all
the exordlums, explanations and ex'
postulatlons Of the press and the urg-
ings Of the politicians, there are SIN
many persons who are likely to lose
their votes through failure TO register
as the law requires. It seems impossible
10 convince some self.oplnlonatod poo-
pie that their former registration Is now
void, and that IN order to vote next
Tuesday they must register anew. Cit-
zens who have not already registered
this year have one more opportunity
and only one Unless they register TO-
morrow Wednesday, November 2, they
wlll lose their vote Under the Utah
statutes a new registration is required
every fourth year. the year Of a presi-
Dental election By this means the lists
Of voters who have died or removed
from the State are purged Of those In
cumbrances, thus preventing imperson-
atlons and that much Illegal voting.
That Is one reason why citizens are re-
qulred to register anew this year Now
ladies' and gentlemen, II you have not
complied with the registration law this
year, do not fail to go TO the registrars
oflce in your election district and have
your names placed upon the list Of
voters. Tomorrow il the last day when
this can be done, Don't neglect this
duty, II you value your citizenship and
the power OF the ballot This is your
last chance.

IDAHO AND UTAH AGITAToRs

The rash, raw and ridiculous charges
against the 'Mornons' made by sena-
tor Dubois, as reported In Idaho pa
pers, and those OF his henchman Stalk
or, have been so extraordinary that
they have been Indignantly denied by
Mormon speakers and writer's
ana proof Of them has been demanded,
to be met only by eyasIons, differences
and expressions OF belief IN current
rumors. Ex-Governor Mcconnell as
is pretty well known by this time, chal-
lenged Senator Dubois to meet him
in debate on this so-called Mormon
question, but that was a little too much
for the willy accuser, and so he de-
clned on this specious plea:
81 hardly think I would be justified
IN debating with any one unless they
are candidates for or now occupy posi-
tons which call upon them either To
mako or enforce laws against Grim
inals, as ! regard the Mormon people
10 be-"
Governor Mcconnell through the
Spokane Review responds to this re-
fusal IN caustlc but courteous remarks,
and we take The following paragraphs
from his rejonder
senator Dubois says after the Nor
mons had the right OF suffrage restored
10 them they quietly secured the re-
peal OF AN laws for the punishment Of
sexual crimes. challenged Mr. Dubois
10 debate this question with me but he
refused and said he could not AFFORD
10 give me the time necessary Know
ing as ne does that these statements are
false. he dare not meet me ON the
rostrum,
"The fact is every law now ou the
statute books OF Idaho for the punish
mmt Of crimes Of that character ir-
cudiug polygamy Is stronger and more
effective than il was before the Nor
mon people had the right OF franchise
restored TO them
That answers hut one untruth which
the ambitious politician Is repeating ON
the platform. The Nampa Idaho, Her
aid prints some others and deuouuccs
them as both false and extraordinary
Here are a few out Of many OF a. SINH
lar kind:
1T was proved by the testimony be-
fore the Smoot committee that four
OF the Apostles had gone into new
polygamy since the manifesto
"The sugar bounty Of i25oOOO win be
paid 10 the Mormon church.
THE Utah and Idaho sugar COM
paHies are owned and controlled abso-
lutely and entirely by the Mormons
No Gentle owns any interest in those
companies whatever
mo Mormon can rebel against
Church dlctatIon In politics"
These are an impudent falsehoods
but the last, and that is untrue IN It's
:ntent, but no Mormon can "rebor
against something that does not exist
10 Il Is In that sense literally correct
But here are few sentences from the
orations Of the insane or Infamous
Stalker;
Joseph Smith was killed because he
was inducing young girls to 20 into po-
lygamy"
NO young man can secure a position
IN Utah unless he can show a receipt Tor
his tlthlng,"
