Latest Appointment of HE

ARE NOW GROWING DAILY
Patriotic Republican Gentiles
VIII Not Stand for a Nor
mon Monopoly.
Special to The Tribune.

BLACKFOOT, Ida, Oct 16. : J..
Frank Hunt, to be Receiver of the
United States Land Office at Blackfoot,
is the latest Federal appointment to
rouse the Gentle blood in southeastern
Idaho. j. Frank Hunt is high and
priestly Mormon, leader of the church
party in Bannock county and candl-
date for State Senator. The appoint
mept of Mr., Hunt coming as it does
on the heels Of so many Mormon ap-
pointments to high Federal positions has
aroused the ire of the Gentle members
of the Republican party, and tends to
augment the growing ranks of the op-
position.
George A. Robethan, the present Re.
ceiver of the local Land Office is one
of the best known Gentiles in this part
of the State. During the one term he
has served in the Office. he has given
a splendid administration and is re-
puted to be Que of the most efficient
receivers in the Northwest. All the
United States land commissioners in
the district are Mormons, and many of
them have been notoriously crooked and
incompetent,
Robcthan instituted proceedings
against Thomas Elliott and another
commissioner named Wallace, both high
church officials, and brought about their
removal, which action incurred the dis
pleasure of the leading Mormons
The appointment of Hunt has arous
ed the most bitter feeling against the
leaders of the party in the State. and
it is openly asserted that no Gentle
can hope to receive any Federal appoint
ment in the State with the present ma
chine politics in control.
The American party is making
strong campaign in Bingham. The re-
cent opinion of Senator Hepburn to the
effect that the test oath In the con
stitution is still in force decided the
Americans to challenge every Mormon
voter and compel them to take the test

MAN HE CAN Use
VIII Not Consent to Have AL
leged Embezzler Taken Off
the Church Ticket.
Special 20 The Tribune.


BOISE. Idaho. Oct, 16.-Governor
Goodlng wired the Republican State
committe today not to take Robert
Lansdon. nominee for Secretary of
state. off the ticket, Notwithstanding
that 1t Is generally understood the re-
cords of Washington county, of which
Lansdon was Assessor, show that ho
was guilty of embezzlement and falsify-
ing the public records of his county.
The committee Is greatly perturbed
over the matter, and the scandal of the
discovery is spreading over the State
rapidly.
Photographic copies of portions of
Lansdon s books as Assessor are in
circulation. They show where he wrote
a vile comment after the name of a
member of Governor Gooding's present
official family who is taxpayer in
Washington county.
Gooding determination that Lans-
don shall stay on the ticket despite
the charges against him is probably
due to the fact that the Governor and
majority of several important State
boards. Lansdon is said to be Good
lng's absolute ehattel, and Goodinq
would rather take a chance on his elec,
tlon, in face Of the charges, than to
have him withdrawn and a man sub
stituted whom he would not be so GER
tain to control in the event of his cleo
tion.
County Attorney Rhea Of Washing
ton county, who IS Republican. is in
cllned to have Lansdon arrested. He
is holding the matter in allowance,
however, at the request of State Chair
man j. Fl. Brady until final deter
mination is reached as TO whether or
not Lansdon is to stay on the ticket.
