out of the prosecution. The idea
that this paper has desired to impress
were that under the management Of
man like Dubois, the democratic
party has so far fallen from its past
meritorions position with regard to
the rigid enforcement of law with
out fear, favor or partiality, that it
would probably be again prostituted
to the e-political ends of Mr.. Dubois,
even though it had to form an allI-
ance, more or less open, with anar-
chists, murderers and assassins.
To many the charge seemed base-
less and foolish But under Mr.
Dubois management, the party was
so used once before, and many DEM
ocrats, among whom was the writer,
were not able to see that such an al
lance had been made until it was
too late, and the party itself had
been made the instrument by which
convicted murder was pardoned and
reign of anarchy was condoned.
The democrats who gere fooled
then resolved never to be fooled
again, and they will not be, but
there are new people in the state;
will they be taken in and be made
the unconscious instruments BY
which the party shall again be made
the instrument for the pardon Of a
still more unholy crime than it was
six years ago?
Those who may have had any
doubt Of how things are working to-
ward this end need but rea d an
article in the Salt Lake Herald of
April 3Oth to learn that the effort
to prosecute men believed by those
whose duty it is to prosecute, to be
|, guilty of the horrible murder of
Frank Steunenberg, will be made a
. political issue, for the sole purpose
of advancing the interests of Sena-
, tor Dubois, eyen though the demo.
: ocratic party be further disgraced.
If that article from Boise head
quarters is to be believed, Governor
Gooding is to be made sacrifice by
: republicans who think more of an
opportunity to get a few offices than
they do of party honor and individ-
, ual integrity. The republican party,
5 so far as the writer knows, has never
yet in Idaho, made an alliance with
| lawlessness, and it is scarcely to be
believed that the rank and file OF
that party, will subject themselves
to the influence of those demagoguee
in the party who want TO sacrifice
Governor Goodlng, .sbecause he will
lose the vote of sympath,zers of the
9 murder Of Steunenberg" on account
0 of the .strong stand he has taken in
prosecuting those believed by him
to be guilty of the murder.
"Gooding would lore the labor
: vote, :" they say, "because he is using
t the power of the state to ferret GU,
: and punish the perpetrators of thi,
crlme.o
. It's lie. No man will lose tn,
n honest labor vote OF Idaho for try
y ing to punish murder. That labo
, vote winch isn't honest ought to e,
, to Dubois or some other plac
# where 1t will find congenial com
l. pany.
Governor Gooding is not tn
ia choice of this paper for governor
! but il wants it distinctly understood
: that in preference to any anarchls
N excusing democrat or other republi
N can, 1t prefers Governor GoodinI
! every time, and, furthermore under
takes to say that there are thousand
more democrats in Idaho, who tax
the same ground.
10 If Idaho is to be made the rally
- - ing ground for anarchy, now is jut
. = as good time as any to find 1t ou,
., and since there is an inclination I
.ic throw down the gauntlet, th
&c friends of Governor Gooding wi
doubtless pick it up.-Pocatell
