The democratic convention
down at Twin Falls last week
was disgrace to the state. 1t
was like child building a mud /
house and another little child
coming along and kicking it
down. The big row was because /
the Dubois side want plank in
the national and state platforms
of the democratic party against /
polygamy, and the other side /
wanted to keep silent on that 1
question to catch the Mormon
votes. Never mind, Brady has
already got Joe Smith and the /
whole bunch. No person ought |
to be opposed to tramping out /
polygamy, which is a violation /
of the constitution of Idaho. tt
seems the democratic party never 1
misses an opportunity to make a
fool of itself Instead of fight i
ing the republicans, they are
always fighting among themselv-
es, and the republicans, or Nor
mon party, is putting up money
to keep the fight up, yet the dem
ocrats are so blind they do not
see anything. This year the
democrats had a good chance to
win in Idaho, but no, they must
split and form two parties, and
battle within the party ranks,
while the republicans walk OFF
with the offices. Some of the
don t like Boss Brady, but most
of them swallow the bitter pill,
they may make an ugly
face, they go to the polls and
voter straight Boss Brady, Joe
Smith, the Mormon church, and
the whole blamed machine.
