The Troy News commenting the Spokane
Spokesman interview with Judge r. S. Anderson,
says:
Judge Anderson, like hundreds of other republi-
in Idaho, has been forced to the conclusion that
the Mormon church is dominating the politics of the
state that there is union of church and state to de-
gree that is appalling and that the Mormon church,
from its temple in Utah, names public officials,
writes the republican state platforms, and makes
unmakes laws of vital Importance to the citizens of
state. No measure, since government
tab1ished in state, has escaped the evil hand of
Mormon greed and graft Idaho wanted a railroad
commission bill that the state might protect the pub
lie from railroad wrongs equalize taxes and stop
discrimination; wanted to compel the railroads
to stop brbing legislatures with free passes, and
influence legislation with special favors but the Nor
killed the bills No citizen has, aspire
to any public office in the state unless he gets the
sanction from the church, and sacrifices his manhood
the altar of religious bgotry. The republicans
cannot hold conventions without the guiding council
of the high officials of the Mormon church; can
not nominate president without the aid of
Mormon bishops, and one at least, filthy reprobate
who tore to shreds the solemn platform pledges of
the party he by Mormon power, compelled to honor
him. No wonder republicans are beginning to rebel
and openly declare that they will not submit.

The Mormon-d democrats, democrats who do not
wish the Mormons nterfered with in their practices
and political interference, went to Twin Falls with
the avowed intention of ruling running, and If
they could not win by force and intimidation, fail
ing in that to bolt the convention. They failed IN

If the Mormon issue right two, four and SIX
years ago, it is right now. The regular democrats
