THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

not the Republican party as an organization OF JUS
tce loving American citizens followers of the prn
cipes that have made their party synonym of
progress. There have existed differences between
Senator Hepburn, Senator Borah, Governor Good
ing and State Chairman Brady. Not differences of
paramount Importance to the party that has carried
them along, but differences to which should ulti-
mately become the greatest of the quartet
All these minor contentious have been put aside
and unity of action has been resolved upon and they
have agreed among themselves that they will de-
fend the Mormon church, the arbiter of political for
tunes and the balance of power between the parties
when the lines closely drawn Polygamy they
accept of the cardinal elements of success and
they willing to commit their party to the grossest
of the sins of the flesh that power may continue to
repose in them.
The slate, far it has been arranged, names
Senator Hepburn as his own successor, Chairman
Brady the successor of Governor Gooding and
Senator Borah, when his time comes as heir to
the position occupied by him.
Governor Gooding is to improve his mind and
manners by travel He will go abroad and will
about among the potentates of European civ
ization example of the possibilities of we'll
controlled system of machine politics. He may not
expect to follow the rosy pathway pursued by Bryan
and Taft but he will be around some. So Mr.. Good
ing does not want to be Governor having greater
joys in view, and is willing to abdicate in favor of
the chairman
Having thus arranged the affairs of the future for
their constituents, the members of the machine are
about to enter upon their manipulations, and The
Scimtar feels that it is but fair advise the voting
hosts of what is expected of them 1t may be worth
while to repeat that the intentions involve hard
and fast alliance with the members of the Mormon
machine, which will be able to name among its work
ing members such apologsts for polygamy or prac-
teal polygamists as:
William A. Hyde, of Bannock County, president
of the Pocatello Stake; George C. Parkinson of
Oneida County; Walter Hoge, of Bear Lake County,
member of the Republican State Committee, editor
of the Paris Post and brother-n-law of the we'll
known politician and poygamist William Bulge;
Judge Alfred Bulge son of William Bulge, Judge
Of the Fifth Judicial District Court President James
County; Bishop Victor c. Hegstead and Bishop John
w. Hart, of Fremont County; Bishop John L.
Smith and Bishop Day. of Cassia County.
The machine alliance as far as it has been com
,leted will therefore consist of:
