WHAT BoRAH SAYS

Threat to Challenge Nor
mon Voters

W. <. Borah, who is recognized
as one of the leading lawyers in the
west and the republican candidate
for U. 5. senator, was in Pocatello
wednesday night, and while there
issued the following statement re-
garding the demcci attic state com.
mittee's threat to challenge voters
in the southeastern counties:
"The scheme has for its purpose
primarily that Of retardlng yote.,
the intimidation of some so thew
will remain away from the polls.
The voters should understand that
all parties. regardless of political
affiliations, who are entitled to vote
will be protected from all intlmida.

will guarantee the right of franchise
TO every citizen entitled to exercise
it. The fraudulent bulldoz,ng of
Tammany will not bear transplant

here even for a day. Every voting
precinct will have law officers pres.

titled to vote will be allowed to d,

81 am in favor of enforcing the
law strictly, but | am also In favor
OF dealing IN no uncertain way with
those who undertake to violate the
law by intimidation. The statute
prescribes the qualifications, and
those qualifications are the only one =
necessary for voter to possess.
The time will never come in Idaho
when any citizen having the quallfi-
cations of voter will be deprived.

THE QUESTIONS AT ISSUE.
They are Important and Should be
Well Con ,idered BY Voters.

The question that presents itsel
to the voters OF Idaho next Tuesday
is one Of momentous Importance.
We are being asked by the people
of the United States the question;
Are you the excusers of crime? Do
you believe that class shall have
the right to resort to assassination
If it so please them, so that summary
vengeance may be taken upon those
who have differed with them rela-
tive to the administration of the law?
Are you favorable to administration
of the affairs Of state that conserves
the resources of the state, or that
permits the looting of the state funds
through mal-administration of the
trust imposed in state boards? The
people will expect US to answer these
questions by our votes on the 9th of
November. If the vote of the
people is in opposition to the re-
election of Governor Gooding, the
state ticket, and the legislative tic
ket they will feel justified IN saying
that Idaho is a good state from
which to keep away. If, on the
other hand, Governor Goodlng is
reelected by the ordinary republican
majority, the people on the outside
will understand that Idaho intends
to stand solidly by the administra-
tion of the law and by the handling
of state affairs in an honest,
economical and efficient manner.
This is a campaign of extremes.
From democratic standpoint, 1T Is
anything to elect Dubois in SO far as
the senatorship is concerned, and
anything to beat Gooding, in SO far
as the governorship is in question.
To elect Dubois an attempt will be
made to intlmldate the Mormon
voters of southeastern Idaho with
the idea of preventing their voting
for their own protection and against
the candidates in opposition to re
publican policy. That this will fail
goes without saying. These people
In the southeast, both members of
the Mormon church and Gentiles,
thoroughly appreciate the fact that
an unholy warfare is being waged
against the mem bers of the Mormon
church and that il is their duty t.,
rebuke this warfare in the most
emphatic manner possible.
These people also understand that
the election of Judge Stockslager as
governor would be equivalent to the
electlon OF Fred j. Dubois as sena.
tor. They know that a vote for
Stockslager is vote for DUBOIS.
They fully appreciate the fact that
any declared policy of Fred T. Du-
bois is also declared policy of
Judge Stockslager, and that when
Dubois claps his hands stockslager
breaks into a double shuttle and
dances to the tune of the Dubois
music.
Naturally, these peoble of the
southeast will oppose their enemies,
and IL wound be difficult to imagine,
how any Mormon voter in Idaho,
even if q democrat, and many of
