A Letter to the Voters of
idaho from Al
Republican

under no circumstances or conai- /
z tions have ever changed my vote or
assisted in the success of any other /
party, locally or flon u national
standpoint. / shall vote the Repub-
lican ticket in the LeXt Presidential i
Campaign, to assist in giving the !
Nation q Republican administration,
and do not wish my writings or
suggestipns o influence one voter
from the Republican party, nation
ally; but here in these intermt un-
tain States, we are confronted with |
q lacal condition atat all true Aneri- |
cans should interest themselves ~, |
irrespective OF party affiliations.
/ | am going to address myself to |
the good people and voters of the |
state of Idaho, where this Un-Ameri
can condition strongly exists aud |
am in hopes will receive Il deatl
blow at the polls in that State this |
fall in the battle'of the ballots. am
in hopes there are uniniiGenced |
American independence enough III |
the Gem State to give it the blow.
am writing this appeal to til,
Idaho voters, in Salt Lake City al
most under the dome of the Temple
OF this Un-American and individual
liberty controlling monarchy-th,
Mormon PriesthpoG--and / know
WhereDfI speak, because to thor
ough]y know Mormonism, you mus
live and mingle with them social
and commercially. | am not going
discuss the Mormon creed, as
ann not opposing their church or re-
ligioh' SO far it is consistent witl
the true principles of the American,
Government. | know the State D
| ahn well; | Know it's people and
conditiuns; know the various sec
tional interests OF it's people, anG
| know there are thousands of its
citizens that have no conception oi
the power to the Mormon Priest
hood over the individuality OF the
: members of the Norman churct, ant
|: knowif they did realize the iactA,
: The Norman Priesthood power
! would be broken in Idaho at this TAI
I election.
!: Now my Idaho friends and voter,
!: meaning all who have the welfare { /
: this Nation at heart, let me tell you
: one truth. that is absolutely uGdeni-
!: able and will be admitted by any
! true Mormon who is brave cnopgl
2 to defend his faith, and that is this:
!: a devout Mormon will do just what
( he is counSelled to do by his Priest
!; hood and he is taught to take that
= counsel and obey it in all things.
That being so, he is q dangerous cit
izen at the ballot box, and if YOU
have any man in your State that
has entered into a combination with
that class of men or with the powers
that control them in order to satisfy
their ambitions politically, though he
Z may aspire to the Office of Justice Of
the Peace of United States Senator,
they should be defeated and defeated
IL by the American patriotism OF your
i State, irrespective of party line, and
l. serve notice to them and to the Coun
II try that Idaho will not tolerate ana
u Un-American and un-patriotic alli-
u ance to achieve political success.
81 You have O man in Idaho who re-
T. presents you in the Carnegie hero
"a lump, for he has surly performed a
VI derois work in the Senate il, his eff
oi orts to break the power OF the Nor
mon Priesthood in Idaho, and done
~ it fearessly, knowing that he was
y calling down upon him the wrath Ot
It the chosen Priesthood as well as pol
II itical suside in Idaho, unless The
~ true and staunch American manhood
X and sentiment of right backs him III
If IN his noble fight, and Senator Du-
bois is right in his fight against Thu
h; Mormon power in his State. He il
In Il strong man in the Senate, a true
ne friend OF Idaho and it's people, and /
1r power for good in the West. and tn,
y, lower down the ladder you are II
VI Hfe's struggle, the quicker you wi
a. receive the help of Senator fr,
ne Dubois, idaho, remember he is NAL
1u .ng the fight for you and the homo
Se of Idaho.
In this fight for Americanism, rem
til 4mber this fall that you have a ioca
le nousecleuning on your hands tina
nj w Il be an everlasting benefit to III
q l State OF Idaho.
