Idaho in the political campaign
which is being fought there this fall,
for its results are to be felt through
out the nation.
A wealthy, polygamous, and treason
able organization has established its
rule over Utah, and in violation of
every covenant made with the Govern
ment, polygamy is taught and practic-
ed by the Mormon hierarchy.
Millions Of American women who
are political nonentities, but who
would guard the sanctity Of the home,
the purity Of their sons and daugh-
tiers, and who would protect their Sis
teFs from the degradation of plural
marriage and their country from an
Inward foe have banded together and
with mighty petition have asked to
remove from the Senate the
Mormon Apostle Revelator and Seer
who as one Of the the highest officials
In the hierarchy IL responsible for
continued teaching and practice OF
ploygamy, and for union Of church
and state.
All the women's organizations ask
Is that the hierarchy abide by its sa.
cred covenant. Political parties are
nothing to them In comparison with
the great moral issues for which they
must stand together.
Women Of Idaho, the question you
must meet at the polls Is one which
IL very plain.
Do you want Idaho to be- like Utahl
DO you want your children to grow
up where the control of your state
Is under men who live in polygamy
and, in defiance Of civil and divine
law, or do you want to be free Amer
lean state, with Christian standard In
life and dutyS
The question is Of vital interest to
every mother
You have founded homes there.
You have invested your money In
tending to make It your permanent
home, DO you not owe 1t to your
children to safeguard aud protect
them from conditions which will go
unchecked unless you let your wish
be recorded at the polls.
There are two men who patiently
AMI faithfully have listened TO the
evidence in the Smoot case, and who
have stood with the League of wom-
ems organizations above party and
for principle. Senator Dubois and
Senator Burrows have grasped the
danger to the nation, and have pledg
ed themselves to the women to fight
their battles against this menace to
home and country. Senator Bur-
rows says The fight In the senate
will not end the evils until the evil
Is eliminated, " and he will not stand
for organized crimes. "
Senator Dubois has bravely, faith
fully met the issue. He knows every
phase OF the Mormon question. He
Is loyal son of Idaho. He is work
Ing always for what what will build
up the state in honor and power. He
Is a loyal citizen OF the nation, and
for its purity and honor wauid wipe
out the blot which has SO long brought
shame and sorrow and sin into many
dives.
The Idaho Republicans say there
is no Mormon issue IN Idaho. The
League of womAn's organizations
will send Senator Burrows report Is
chairman Of committee ON privileges
and elections 10 any woman who de.
sires to read 1t. The Idaho demo.
Gratis recognize the Mormon issue In
Idaho and are pledged TO free the
state from the control of an alien
power, and 10 make laws that will
compel obedience to civilization and
morality.

tor Dubois defeated. There is no
other man whom they fear as they dc
him. win you crafty their wishs
The women Of Idaho can send back
Senator Dubois TO Washington.

ship and his work for six years in the
senate will count for much in pre-.
venting the Rscendanoy OF disloyal
polygamous power Ina states aud na-
ton and in settling this question foi
