Special TO The Tribune.
BOISE, Ida, Oct. 13.-ThoToughly j.
frightened at the prospect for absolute
defeat of the church ticket IN Idaho
George Q. Parkinson, president OF The
Oneida stake, and the leading &c
clesiastical politician of Idaho, is
making "gun shoe' trip 20 various
nation that the Mormon vote viii
be divided between Frank II. Good
ing. nominee for Governor, and Judge
c. D. Stockslager. the Democratic nomi
nee. For several days Parkinson has
been in Boise, and shortly after he
appeared the rumor became current
that Judge Stockslager would receive
e good proportion Of the Mormon vote,
OF course this is not true. Goodlng
will receive practically every Mormon
vote in the State, but Parkinson's pur-
pose is to deceive Gentiles who con
template voting the Democratic be,
cause of the notorious alliance or
Gooding and the Republican machine
with the Mormon church. If these
Gentiles can be beguiled into believing
that the Mormons arc not going to vote
for Gooding in body as the result OF
a deal, one great reason for their op-
position to Gooding will thus be re-
moved. It is to disseminate this i'm
preston that Parkinson is Slipping
ebout over the State. The mantle. or
William Bulge. as the church political
representative. has fallen on Parkinson.
Republicans Desperate.
The Republicans are in desperate
situation The revolt against Gooding
and Borah is astounding. In every
county in the State prominent Repubi
cans are declaring openly that they
viii rot sanction by their vote the un-
holy alliance formed at the Pocatello
convention. In many counties indie.
pendent Republicans and Democrats are
uniting on local tickets to defeat
the nominees of the machine, Thirty
two newspapers, a good proportion of
them being Republican papers, are
supporting Stockslager and Senator Du'
Candidate ". E. Borah is having
hard Shedding. His amalgamation with
the 'Gooding Brady machine has simply
served TO disgust hundreds of those
he made it, and it has proSted him
nothing. The State committee, Of which
Brady is the head, has abandoned him
to his fate, and is putting forth its
entire effort 20 save Gooding. Borah
Is having to make his Senatorial cam
psigE practically alone, without help
from Brady, though publicly, OF course,
Brady Processes his loyalty to Borah.
If by any chance, however, Goodlng
should be defeated and a Republican
Legislature elected, Borah will find
that the Senatorial nomination which
he secured at Pocatello will avail him
nothing In the event OF Gooding's
oefeat the Brady -Gooding combine is
prepared to charge it to the disloyalty
OF Borah and his end of the combine,
and 10 take the position that such dis
loynlty dissolves the Pocatello compact
and releases them from any obligation
wnv is the slightest excuse to throw
BcTah overheard.
Borah Must Surrender.
Another huniliating feature of
Borah s position is that, even if Re-
publican ticket Is elected, he cannot
be elected to the Senate without MAX
ing the most abiect terms possible with
the church-to surrender even more of
his manhood to the hierarchy than he
has surrendered already. The church
has taken care of that. In the Nor
mon counties, where the Republican
Legislative tickets will probably be
elected, they have loaded those tickets
down with Mormons, both laymen and
I94iuOt OIlClaIS. 1uey Will use llcSG
men as club to force Borah to agree
to do anything and everything the
church may desire.
# the legislature is Republican at
all, these Mormons Will hold the bal
ance of power between the Democrats
and the Gentle Republicans Borah
absolutely cannot be elected without
their votes, and be will never receive
them until the church says the word. 1t
vii never say that word until it has
forced from Borah everything in the
nature of concessions ard promises for
the future that 1t wants If Borah
Is elected Senator he viii be tied hand
and foot.
the mere fact that he is the regular
party nominee for the Office signifies
nothing to the Mormons. IN 1901 Fred
z. Dubois came to the Legislature IS
the regularly nominated candidate OF
tho Democratic party for the Senator
ship. Yet every Mormon Democrat cx-
cepr one refused to abide by the ac-
ton Of the convention, and bolted Du-
bois nomination. He had votes enough
without them, however
Borah will md, therefore, that his
domination by the party means moth
ing to the priestly politicians with
