Occur dAIene, lea, Aug AFTER a
strenuous two days convention. the Dem
Ocrats of Idaho placed in nomination the
foregoing ticket and adopted a platform
In which anti Mormonism was the key
note. 1t was a Dubois convention from
fn n bIIt the senator did mot baV(
his way in all things by any means, anC
in a few things did he triumph without
opposition. The ticket which he and his
closest friends had selected was badly
disarranged in the convention, and it was
only by the shrewd application of gag
rule by Chairman Heitfeld that an acri
monious debate on the floor of the, con
ventiOn did not characterize the adoption
of the platform.
But. after all. it was a distinct triumph
for Senator Dubois. There was no sug
gestion of opposition TO his nomination
for senator or the nomination of Judge
Stockslager for governor. They let it b.
known that they sought the nomination
on an anti-Mormon platform and the!
| got just what they asked for. They wer'
accorded spontaneous demonstrations
following their nominations. Senator
| Dubois speech of acceptance was cheere'
| until the rafters rang.
II can say with perfect truth and sin
| CERTIFY" he began, that never in my lif'
was I so proud as / am at this moment
/ am endorsed by as splendid a citizen
| ship as exists in any commonwealth il
the world. making a fight against a tyr
amy that. if unchecked. will eventual!
enable the Mormon church to completely
dominate affairs of state. My record !!
an open book. 1 have never worn thu
collar of any denomination or corpora
ton. / ask no one to support me fOl
what / am but for the principles which
stand for.
II prophesy that, within three years
no man in the state of Idaho will have thu
temerity to stand on a public platform
and defend the hierarchy of Salt Lake
1t is indefensible. If the Republican
party continues to defend or condone i
IL will go down to inevitable defeat. /
is even now up against 1t. The issue il
| squarely placed before you; will you sup
port the constitution Of your state?
you will you will take the test oath.
| For ten years there wasn't Mormon il
| the state who would subscribe to tina
oath. If they take it now they will no
be good Mormons. / hope the enactmen
of such statute as we Will contemplate
| will make them either leave the churcl
or force the church to cease interference
with politics and desist from the prac
tice of polygamy.
Ashamed OF French.
IF as they say there IS no polygam.
the answer is simple; they need not hes
| itate to subscribe to the test oath.
| But what they fear most of all is tn
| law permitting a change of venue il
prosecuting them and the law agains
unlawful cohabitation, Polygamy is tn
one institution that cements them to
| gether.
Il was ashamed when 1 saw the spec
| tacle of Congressman French sitting be
tween two apostles of the Mormon churcl
and give testimony in their behalf.
| Il shall talk during this campaign as
voted in the senate, and I'll vote in tn
senate as | talk in this campaign. Re
publicans have only won applause by car
rying out the principles of Democracy
| Two years hence, when our peerless lead
] er, William Jennings Bryan, is electe
president, we shall have an Opportunit
| to apply all the Democratic principles 70
the welfare of our country"
Points in Platform.
The anti Mormon plank of the platform
| IS the same as was telegraphed las
night by the Associated Press. Othe
| planks are as follows:
Hon William ]. Bryan. being one o
the greatest living Americans and tn
| foremost exponent of the Democrats
party we heartily endorse him for tn
Democratic nomination in 1905.
Another plank endorses the record o
| Senator Dubois. and adds:
I'VE heartily endorse the policy of nom
| mating a candidate for United States sen
| ator in the convention.
1--WE are heartily in favor of municipa
| ownership of public utilities.
I'VE believe that the time has com
when there should be a revision of tn
