DEMOCRACY AND PRINCIPLE.

The few democrats who have been
led to believe that the Mormon Is
sue should be dropped for political
reasons--none dare uphold poly
gamy and defy the plain provisions
OF the constltution--have not stop
ped to reason out the result of such
a move, or they would see that 1t is
not even good politics, aside from
the moral principle involved In the
effort to suppress polygamy. The
Mormon church Is primarily big
political and business corporation
combined with so-called religious
creed which teaches and protects
polygamy as practlced by It's mem
bers. 1t absolutely dominates the
politics Of Utah and Is the controll-
Ing factor In the politics OF Idaho.
Its grasp on this state is SO strong
that It can, and does. dictate the
nominations In the republican party,
and It Is now attepmting to lay hold
OF the democratic party In the same
way to the extent of preventing any
mention in its platform of the en-
forcement OF the constitutional pro-
visions against the crimes practiced
by its members or putting into force
the provisions of the test oath under
the supreme court decision making
Il self-operative. There are a few
Jack Mormon democrats who seek
TO assist their Mormon allies by keep
Ing the democratic party silent on
the subject. II has been one of the
well grounded principles OF demo-
crazy that the constitution OF the
state Is the supreme law and should
be strictly enforced and honestly re-
spected, but the Mormons and their
allies In the democratic party would
have nothing said about this. with
the democrats silenced. no opposition
to the polygamists walking up to the
polls and voting would be made, and
they could continue their practices
unmolested.
Politically the Mormons are tied
up to the republican party and no
concession would induce them to vote
a democratic ticket, so that from a
purely political point of view the
democrats have nothing to gain from
the surrender Of principle for
which they have fought for the past
four years, but the edium that would
follow a surrender to Mormonism
and an acknowledgment that the con-
stitntional provisions for decency
cannot be made operative. Such an
acknowledgment would be most hu-
initiating and place the party In such
bad odor with the people that II
could not muster eorporal's guard
on election day. These Jack Nor
mons seem to be seeking the defeat
of the party or they are mIsjudging
the temper OF the people on the
question OF polygamy and political
slavery to the Mormon yoke. Free
Idaho from the curse and no citizen
will protest against the sincere re-
hgions belief of any other citizen.
Let the democrats of the state
stand by their guns and victory Is
in sight for the party this fall,
Abandon the fight and retreat will be
come a rout most disastrous In ITS
results. The Jack Mormons are dig
ging grave for the democrats and
II the party blunders into II the
mouFners viii be few.
