A Letter
To The Voters
Democratic State Chairman Asks
People to Consider the Mormon
Evil and Shows Where and
How it Exists.
To The People of Idaho:-

In view of the great conse-
quences which will arise from
the campaign of 1906, and which
may effect for good or evil the
destinies of the people of Idaho
for a long time to come, | have
deemed it proper that a state
ment should be given to the peo-
pie of this state relative to the
course to be pursued by the
Democratic State Committee, of
which / have the honor to be the
chairman.
A convention of the Democrat
ic party lately held in Coeur
d'Alene City, has declared in
unmistakable words that polyga-
my and unlawful co-habitation
must cease, and that the inter-
ference in the political affairs of
this state by the Mormon
Hierarchy must stop; and it
pledged the party, if given the
power by the people at the polls,
to carry into effect, by statutes
furnishing such offenses, that
clause of the state constitution
which has heretofore been at
once the bulwark of morality and
decency in the homes of this
Estate and the weapon of defense
against the political domination
of an unscrupulous and selfish
alien oligarchy which seeks to
confuse the religious sentiments
of it's people by directing them
in their political actions.
No partisanship has dictated
the course of the Democratic
party in presenting this issue,
for at all times, disregardtng the
possibility of deriving advantage
by trucking to the Mormon
Hierarchy, the Democratic party
has sought to occupy the high
ground of citizenship, which
looks solely to the welfare Of the
state and the preservation of
those homes which are at once
the glory and safeguard of a
republic.
We affirm unhesitatingly that
polygamy is not only practiced in
this state, but is increasing to an
alarming extent, and if the peo-
pie of Idaho will entrust the af-
fairs of government of the state
of Idaho to the nominees of the
Coeur d'Alene convention and
the legislators from the various
counties who endorse the Coeur
d'Alene platform, we will pass
such laws at the next session of
the Idaho legislature as will en-
able us to prove this assertion:
without laws we are powerless
to act. We affirm that children,
the future citizens of this state,
are being born branded with
illegitimacy and deprived of their
legal birthright, and reared in an
atmosphere which must under
mine their moral natures. To
absolutely stamp out this crime,
prohibited by the moral senses
of mankind, and to rescue the
little children, so that each may
stand equal in the eye of the
law, unashamed of its parentage,
we appeal to the mothers of this
state to stretch out protecting
arms over the children reared in
this vicious practice of unlawful
co-habitation.
The women of Idaho have been
given at once a great privilege
and a great duty, and we urge
them so to act in this campaign
that the claims made in their be-
half shall be vindicated; viz.
whenever a question of morality
should be presented to the peo-
pie, the votes of the women
would be cast fearlessly for the
right. Can you, women of Ida

on told by the representatives of
this Salt Lake Hierarchy that if
he eliminated the provision re-
garding the registration of
births, the bill could be passed;
otherwise, it could not. Upon
this refusal to truckle to this
plainly immoral demand, the bill
met the same fate as it's prede-
cessors by being defeated at the
hands of the Mormon influence.
Thus to hide the evidence that
they still preach and practice po-
lygamy, the Salt Lake Hierarchy
have exposed the people of Idaho
to contagious diseases and possi-
BILE death, by keeping the state
from having the necessary ma
chinery to effectually quarantine
against disease.
There is but one issue to be
presented to the people of this
state, in view of these incon-
trovertible facts above stated,
viz, whether or not the people
of Idaho shall enjoy political in
dependence, and whether or not
they shall cleanse this state of
the crime now being practiced
within it's borders. l shall not
permit the personalities of the
different candidates to enter in
to the discussion, but l shall in
sist at all times that the question
of the sanctity of the home and
political liberty is greater than
the aspiration of any candidate;
that the great question to be
answered and settled at the polls
in November, is whether vice
shall be effectively suppressed
and individual political liberty be
preserved to each citizen of Ida
no. We must make sure that
the state lives before we discuss
the question of politics.
am not appealing to the
partisan sentiment of the Demo-
cratic party, but rather l am adj
dressing in this campaign all the
citizens of Idaho regardless of
party; to Democrats and Republi-
cans alike, because their interests
are being injured in the most
vital places; to the women of
Idaho regardless Of party afilia-
tions, because crime is practiced
in this state which particularly
effects them. We have before
us the ever continuing struggle
of Democracy-the preservation
of liberty dearly bought and
horoically maintained. It is a
fight for first principals and all
that is most dear to men.
Before any other question can
be answered, the people of this
state must, by their solemn
votes, affirm that liberty is dear
er to them than their party
affiliations, that the purity of
the home must be preserved,
and that children born in this
great commonwealth shall face
the world without a stain upon
their birth. For the accomplish
ment of these great ends, II
appeal to the whole people of
Idaho to unite with the Demo-
cratic party, so that the pledges
of its platform may be enacted
into the laws Of the land.

Estimating Water system.


Fred Erskine came over from
Grangeville the first Of the week
and is now busily employed esti-
mating the probable cost Of the
water system to be installed
here. 1t has been decided that
a gravity system will be far too
expensive to be installed at this
time and the estimate now being
made is for a pumping plant.
Mr.. Erskine is now determining
the amount of mains that viii be
needed for the principal streets
and the lateral mains to serve
the various residence sections
and in a short time viii be able
to give the probable cost Of I'M
stalling the system. It has
been found that plenty of press
ure can be secured from a reser-
voir and it is quite probable that
no smaller than 8-inch mains
will be used through the center
Of town. If it is found the cost
will be greater than the city can
afford to pipe water SO that each
block of the town is served it
will probably be decided to run
mains into each section and later
extend them as the finances Of
the village will permit. Mr..
Erskine is also at this time
establishing a street grade on
Main, King, Front and Broad
way in the center Of town. This
is a very good step as it viii not
he long before large buildings
will be erected here and all viii
then have to conform to the
established grade.

opportunity of accepting the cour-
tesy. In a chat with him, l found
the governor earnestly interested in
the matter of the north and south
railroad and he was willing to
waive his dinner to discuss this
subject. 1t is probably very true
that the governor was not bother
ing about politics, but tlis should
be no reson for disappearing the
attitude of Lewiston towards him.
Such an article as appeared in the
Spokane paper treats him unfairly
and also this community unfairly,
and it shouldnot go unchallenged.
Governor Gooding has in his official
capacity heavy important respon-
sibilities which the Idaho citizens
understand, and that his wishes
were recognized and appreciated
relative to his visit to Lewiston,
should not be distorted to convey
a meaning directly opposite to the
fact and the truth. "--Walace Press.
