BOISE, Ida, Sept. Estate Chairman
]. II. Brady went down TO Pocatello from
his Boise headquarters the other day and
convened star chamber session Of the
faithful hlrellngs OF the hierarchy. One
Of the results OF the meeting was the
Issuance OF an order by the chairman to
stem the tide" The open revolt In the
northern part OF the State. the growing
dIsahection in Washington. the lingering
soreness in Fremont and Bingham. and
the altogether unsatisfactory condition OF
machine affairs throughout the State,
caused the State chairman to make IL
plain 10 his Baunock county satellites
that they, Jointly and severally, would
be held responsible for what would fol-
low should there be single anti Mormon
or pro-DuboiS delegate elected to the
Legislature from the eastern and south
eastern part OF the State.
When 1t is remembered that Banpock.
Bear Lake, Oneida, Bingham and Fre-
mont counties have always been consid-
cred the Mormon stronghold, this sudden
activity on the part OF the State chair
man TO stem the tide inevitably al
| though mpercepttbly sweeping over this
section in the direction of Senator Fred
Il. Dubois, means rather more than
shows on the surface. II evidences the
fact that the Republican Mormon ticket
Is not SO strong with the people OF the
southeastern section as Was originally
imagined. It means that the right
thinking and clean-llviug people of all
parts OF the State are awakened TO tho
facr that now Is the time TO strike a
telling blow 1t further means that the
younger element in the Mormon church
is exhibiting signs OF a revolt against
church dominance of politics. which has
resulted In renominating man for Gov
ernor who is really and unquestionably
the most unpopular man under the
| thumb OF the hierarchy. None but the
most bide-bouu Republican partisan and
| the most tractable tlthe-payer In tho
southeast has the stomach 10 stand for
Frank r. Gooding for another term.
Stockslager Is Popular.
On the other hand no man In Idaho
is more popular, as a man and as
jurlst than Judge G. O. Stockslagcr. Dem
ocrstlc candidate for Governor. One OF
the most fortunate things that occurred
at the Occur d'Alene convention was
Stockslagers nomination to oppose Good
ing He viii give the ticket tremendous
strength. He will take from Gooding
more Republican votes than the latter
can afford to lose and will be elected be-
vond a question OF a doubt.
While Judge Stockslager Will not make
a vigorous anti Mormon campaign, he is
In perfect sympathy with the Occur
dAIene platform and Will give TO Dubois
the full weight OF that sympathy. Stock
slager's campaign will be against tho
graft and corruption OF the Goodlng ad-
ministratIon; against the miserable ma
chine methods OF the Brady-Goodlng
gang. against the general rottenness of
the last two years of the sheepherders
administration. Every Republican vote
that goes to Stockslager as result of
this campaign-and there Will be un
a
vote for Senator Dubois. The Republi-
can Mormon machine will be burst. and
when the next Legislature assemblies. try
as they will, the friends OF Mormonism
will be unable TO count enough noses to
bring about the election OF Senator.
Cannot Suppress Mormon Isue,
yalnly the Republican Mormon organ
izatIon of the State Is attempting TO sup
nress the Mormon issue. The purchasabe
press OF the State unite land their unani-

yiucing) In asserting that there is no
such Issue Not until they are forced TO
II will the Republican Mormon campaign
orators take UP the defense of the hier-
nrchy In this State. Not until they are
backed into a corner and find themselves
compelled to 6ght for their political lives
will they consent TO un-Americanize
themselves and attempt In public, and

to condone the offenses against law and
morals that have been committed in
the nnmee OF Mormonism. Not until 1t
is brought home TO them, as 1t inevitably
will be- that there is but one issue In
this campaign, and TINT Issue the Nor
mon issue, will they dare to oppose the
movement for the attainment Of political
ipdependcnce ard the cleansing Of this
State of the crimes being practiced with

Borah Hopelessly Entangled.
There is n firm belief among those who
profess TO know what they are talking
about that w. r. Borah, convention
nominee OF the Republicans for United
States Senator, Will never be brought IN
this campaign TO defend tho Braoy-
Goodng- Mormon policy of turning the
State over to the church. II is pointed
out that he quite hopelessy entangled
himself on the eve of the recent Poca-
tello convention; that at n caucus OF
anti Mormon Republicans on the eve OF
the great prc-convention caucus whieh
resulted in Brady's withdrawal from the
Senatorial race ain the interest of har-
mony." Borah found that he needed the
nnti- Mormon delegates badly In order TO
muster a strength sufficient TO force
Brady TO lay down, He needed those
delegates badly that he entered into
what is believed TO have been n solemn
compact to keep his hands out of the
Mormon pie-to make a calm and dlgni-
fed campaign for the Senatorship and
win on his merits. II he could Borah
has already paved the way for the ful-
fllment OF his part of that compact, by
insisting, every time he is interviewed,
at home or abroad, that there Is no Nor
mon issue in the Idaho campaign. He
has furthermore used hts influence with
the management OF the speakers bureau
at the Republican headquarters in Boise
to INK the dope sheet so that he Will
