Ientire day in the Smoot investigation
WAS devoted to a continuation Of testi-
Imony relating to political conditions in
Idaho. Frank Martin and F. H. Holz-
iheimer, prominent Idaho Democrats,
Testified that a majority of the Demo-
Icrats of the state opposed an "unnec-
Iessary attack" on the Mormon church.,
(which they said was the effect of the
platform. James H. Brady, chairman
iOf the Republican state committee, told
lof taking advantage Of the Democratic
icharges in order to get votes for the
Republican ticket. He charged also
THAT the Democrats traded off Judge

gun in relation to political conditions in

Mr.. Holzheimer said there had been
inc plural marriages in Idaho since the
manifesto. He said all young Mormons
were opposed to polygamy; that the
practice of polygamy in Idaho is only
lin isolated cases.; that there had been
a few cases where children nave been
born in plural families since the mani
%Ifesto, but there are lot more than twen-
lty or thirty plural families in the whole
Estate and that the church did not in
~terfere in politics.
Mr.. Martin said he never had known
of any instance of Mormon Interference
Ifr the politics of Idaho. He said he
had heard it charged that Mormon in
huence had defeated former Governor
morrison for denomination but he be-
Ilieved eighty per cent of the people did
not credit the charge. MI witness ex-
Ipressed the opinion that it was an an
lnouncement, by Senator Dubois that he
INTENDED to push the Smoot investiga-
ltion that provoked the Mormon contro-
jversy of the las campaign.
Mr.. Martin volunteered the state
Iment that personally he favored prose-
outing those who continued polygamous
sconabitation, but the majority Of gen
titles believed the best way was to let
the old fellows die Off"
Mr.. Brady said that he had made a
careful investigation of the number of
i~polygamists in idaho and to the best
lof his information there were only 56.
