the Irrational statements OF Senator
Frederick T. Dubois Of Idaho IN an I'm.
terview in the News recently are GER
tainiy amusing. His statement that
The Mormons Of Idaho. Wyoming and
other states adjacent TO Utah hold the
balance OF power Is sheer nonsense. II
every Mormon IN Idaho on Wyoming
had voted for Judge Parker ~ the last
presidential election they would not
nave reduced President Ro0sevelt's
plurality 20 per cent. For Instance,
President Roosevelts plurality an
Wyoming was 1859. and there are
not over 1000 Mormon voters IN Wvo-
ming, and In Idaho the conditions are
practically the same Senator Dubois
wants 20 convey the idea that the re-
cent great landslide Of Democratic
votes TO the Republican party in the
inter. mountain states and Nhat he will
lose HIS political head was the result
of the Mormon church influence Is re-
diculous. There was greater change
from the Democrats 90 the Republi-
cans In Kansas. Nebraska and Mime
sofa than there was In Utah. Idaho or
wyoming. and that certainly could
not be laid TO Mormon influence.
