the anti-Dubois faction OF the demo-
cratic party, and absolute evidence
that they are under the domination
OF the Mormon church officials 1T
Salt Lake city, Is furnished by the
fact that the followers OF Dubois Of
fered them a compromise that is more
than fair, which they rejected on the
ground that they would not agree TO
have the Mormon question mentioned
In the platform, even opposing a
plank asking for the enforcement of
the constitution of the state as in
terpretated by the supreme court.
This not only brands them as bolterB
and party wTeckers, but as lawbreak-
ers, inasmuch as they are opposed 20
the fundamental law OF the state and
say so In plain language.
Now that they have placed them
selves In the position OF party wreck
ers aud as opposed to the enforce
ment Of the constitution OF the state.
the only course left for Dubois and
his followers is to 20 ahead and con-
troll the state convention without rec
Ognizing their demands. Every man
that applies for a seat In the Wallace
convention who bolted the Twin Falls
convention, should be thrown out
without wastlng time In hearing OF
the case. These boilers reject all
honorable offers OF compromise, and
mean to wreck the party In the In
terest of the Mormons, and we say
that II the wreck must come let the
loyal democrats who are fighting for
principle, rather than church dlcta-
ton In politics. win OF go down with
colOTs flying Offer the enemy no
quarter and no more harmony COM
promises, but stand by every prinei-
pie for which we have contended and
let the wreck OF democracy In this
state be charged up 10 those who have
allied themselves with the Mormon
cause. No compromise! No quarter!
should be the cry from this moment,
let the consequences be what they
may. BY rejecting all fair offers Of
compromise the anti-Dubols leaders

have forfeited all claim to being dem
oerats. because they place the Nor
mon church above country or party.
We believe there are many democrats
especially In the northern part OF the
state, who are sincerely following the
lead of these men because they do
not realize the true situation. They
do not realize how completely and
firmly the Mormon church officials
control idaho politics aud public az
fairs, or they would not be where
they are today. The object of Nor
mon control of the democratic party
IL to wreck 1t that republican success
may be assured aud there are many
people IN the state who are deceived
into giving them assistance and en-
eouragement IN the carrying out OF
their designs. Should they succeed
the November election returns will
show how completely the party has
been wrecked wiped out In Idaho.

years to come. Fellow democrats

when too late how completely the
Mormon octopus has enmeshed you

practices which bring thousands OF
hastards into the world to so through
