NOT TOLERATED
in AMERICA
Senator Dubois Making Fight on
MOrmOniSm

Yes, Idaho Democracy will wage |
a war to the end with the hierarchy,
with the 26 men who not only seek
to control, but do control three great
states, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming
said Senator Dubois to Press repre-
sentative this morning. 1.-THE inter-
ference of the Mormon church in
affairs Of state cannot be tolerated in
free America. 1t must be stopped.
1t will be stopped and to this, in Ida
no, the democratic party is commit.
ted. 1t is fight to finish.
'You people of northern Idaho
know of the work of the church
through the legislature. The last
session of the Legislature was practi-
cally, unanimously republican. That
party, in compliance with deals made
with the hierarchy, turned the
law making power of the state
over to the church. A Nor
men speaker was elected and it per-
mitted him to name all the commit
tees. Not a law was enacted that
did not have the approval of the &C.
clesiastical court in Salt Lake. The
election laws have been emasculated.
Under orders of the Mormon church
efforts we're made to repeal the clause
in the constitution of the state which
requires voter to declare allegiance
to his country first. So barefaced
an attempt, however was sat upon
by a polygamous attorney general
who delivered an opinion declaring
the action of the law making power
irregular He knew that the submits.
sion of the question to popular vote
meant defeat for the church.
''The test oath statute should be
reenacted. A democratic legislature
will see that this is done, a repub-
lican legislature will not. Through
deals and combinations made with re-
publican leaders the church holds the
votes of this state by the throat,
thus making the ecclesiastics practi
cally dictators.
1.-The voters of northern Idaho, the
Christian people, those who believe
in high standard of morality, de
serve great credit for the way in
which they have stood by this ques-
ton. Their knowledge of the ques-
ton has been acquired from speakers
and from the public prints. They
have not come in direct contact with
the menace as have those in the
southern part of the state. Environ
men has much to do with opinion and
| firmly believe that if northern Ida
no voters came in as close touch with
the workings of the Moromn church
in the state as do those i'll southern
Idaho, that there would be land
slide in the northern counties in
November.
American citizens believe in fair
play, in honesty in politics, in non b.
interference Of church in temporal
affairs, and am confident that when
they cast their votes in Idaho this
fall that it will be for men and WON
en- who believe in an American home, 1
who believe that country should come
before church, who oppose the intro
duction of OrientBl harems into the

and represent what is the ideal of all I
