Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1908-06-12

The republican party Of Idaho is
now completely under the control Of
the Mormon church, and he who is
Ignorant Of this fact is rather blind.
1t was Mormon influence that bred re-
pudiation in the last legislature; it was
Mormon power that forced 10 honest
republican members of the Legislature
to rebel; it was Mormon interference
and Oregon Short Line special interests
that killed the Gooding railroad COM
mission bill, and it is Mormon dicta-
ton in politics of Idaho that is today
forcing Brady upon the people against
their will. All this may be lawful, and
1t may be for the reason that the Nor
mons have right to vote, but all this
does not change the great fact that the
Mormon church is running the state.

1t hasn't been two years since a
Mormon, a member of the last legisla-
ture, and republican, sent to Moscow
by the legislature to investigate the
needs Of that great institution, stood up
IN a banquet, before large number Of
representative citizens of Latah county.
and said that he hoped to see the day
when the University Of Idaho would be
segregated, and practically DESTROYED.
When we understand that the Mornons
are not sending their children to the
University, but are educating them at
Logan and in other Mormon colleges
II IS not surprising that leading Nor
mon would have the nerve to stand IN
and express a hope for the dav when
the University would be segregated
AND 1t was at this same banquet that
DR.. Whitwell, state senator from Lembi
county, and democrat, stood I'd and
said that as long as he lives he would
labor to keep the University intac,
and strive to make it a credit TO the
state. And it must not be overlooked
that 1t was the democrats in the last
legislature who stood by the University
