been Republican, and suppose
| shall have to vote for Taft. "
The truth is that the great
body of the Republicans did not
want Taft nominated, but on the
contrary they were sincerely for
the denomination of President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft is like wet blanket
upon his party, and you never
find a Republican who is euthu-
siastic in championing the cause
of the big candidate.
Under these conditions it is
certain that the fight before Mr..
Taft's managers is going to be
along the line of getting the
members of the party to vote
the ticket, and this will keep
them busy, without permitting
them to use any time in an effort
to make converts.
When Republicans are found
to be lukewarm in support of
their candidate they cannot ex-
pect to win over any voters to
Mr.. Taft, who have no marty
affiliations.
The Republicans are particu.
larry unfortunate in having an
extremely unpopular candidate
for vice-president. Mr.. Sher-
man is dead weight on the
ticket, and there are scores of
old line Republicans who openly
admit that they wish there were
some way of voting against him,
without having to vote against
Mr.. Taft.
Instead of bringing votes to
the parry Mr.. Sherman has driv-
en- thousands of voters away.
There is hardly Republican
who will not candidly admit that |
the nomination of Sherman was
a most unfortunate mistake.
So the Republicans, it is found,
are faced by the peculiar condi-
ton of having a presidential
nominee whom they did not
want, and having a vice-presi-
Dental candidate whom they
positively dislike and distrust.
The Democrats, on the other
hand, are not passive supporters
of Messrs. Bryan and Kern, but
they are enthusiastically for
them. Wherever you find a
bryan man, you find a man who
is ready to talk of that gentle
man and his policies by the
hour. A writer in London
magazine the other day hit this
sentiment off very happily when
he declared that Organism was
not politics, but a religion, with
the supporters of the Democratic
standard bearer. He meant by
this that every Democrat is &C
tive and enthusiastic for Bryan.
Taft has been unable to fire
the Republican heart, and he
never will be able to do so, while
Bryan has the faculty of inspir-
ng earnestness and life into his
followers.
Lukewarmness never won an
election yet, and this general
'ule will not be reversed next
November.

FOR VICE. PRESIDENT

IDAHO BOSSES.

There Is no politics in Idaho
this year. 1t is just follow your
bosses, and all the parties have
boss. 1t matters not whether
it be boss Brady, Dubois, Nugent
or whom it may be, the same
domineering spirit is shown.
Last week up in Wallace the
Democrats met to nominate a
state ticket, but there was two
bosses there boss Dubois and
boss Nugent and Rev. Flenner
was there. The two factions of
the Democracy of Idaho met in
the same convention hall and
fought one another and called
each other names. In fact made
regular jackasses of themselves.
The spirit manifested appeared
to be which boss they should fol
low, so after fighting each other
instead of fighting the Repub-
lican party-for one whole day,
the Nugent and Flenner crowd
bolted the convention and went
over to another hall and held a
convention and nominated Il full
ticket, and gave out that their
action eliminated Dubois forever
from Idaho politics. What diff
ference does it make to the rank
and file of Idaho whether we fol
low Dubois or Nugent, Hawley,
Martin, Flenner It's all the
same.
In the meantime the Dubois
convention went ahead and nom
mated another ticket. So we
now have two Democrat tickets
in Idaho, both declaring for
Bryan and Kern, but composed
of two different sets of nominees
for state Offices. The matter will
now be fought out in the courts
to determine which ticket will be
placed on the official ballot. It
does not matter much, for this
split has ruined the Democratic
party in Idaho for this campaign
at least. The party was weak
enough before without dividing
1T into two factions. That both
factions are in the wrong there
is no question. The Capital /
News of Boise, now doubt, was
hired by the Mormon church and
the Republican party to keep up
this fractional fight, yet that
paper is masquerading under the
name of Democracy. Two years
ago that same paper bolted the
Democratic ticket. There must
be lots of Democrats in Idaho
this year if they think they can
divide in two factions and win.
Or else there wasn't enough Off.
ees for the office,seel1ers on one
ticket. AS long as the factions
were lighting each other, rather
Than nominating two tickets, it ,,
would have been far better to
have nominated one set of presi- :
iential electors and and then adj.
'ourned the conventions.
1t is seldom that minority
party divides, but Democrats in
Idaho do. Much as the Repub.
leans cuss boss Brady, you will ,
zee them fall in line next month
md nominate him for governor.
md there will be no anti Brady 5
ticket nominated, either. This t
year great harmony prevails in t
he United States among the
Democrats, and unity is the plan 7

ing away to earn its money from
Brady, and enlisted a few Demo.
Gratis around Boise, who had an
idea if the Mormon question was
dropped the Mormons would all
vote the Democratic ticket, and
this minority party would again
be placed in power in Idaho. In
this they are deceived, for it was
given out months ago from the
throne in Salt Lake that Brady
was to have the Mormon vote
SO what was to be gained by
dropping the Mormon question q?
Simply nothing. The result
would be that the Democrats
would not gain a Mormon vote
by backing down on this burning
issue. If the Mormon question
was an issue two and four years
ago it is an issue today. Two

years ago the Democratic party

tanned an anti-Mormon plank, and
for no other reason. But craw-

The Mormon church of Utah

controls, our conventions and
Legislatures. 1t has done it in
the past and is doing it TODAY.
There is no question about it.
But the question is will this state
OF affairs always exist ? We
think not. The time is coming
when the Gentiles of Idaho, re-
CARELESS of party affiliations, will
have to act, for good govern
ment cannot exist where one man
controls the politics of a state
like Idaho and Utah are control
led by Joe Smith. Talk about
Tammany, but it is no compari-
son to the Mormon church in
politics. The only way to stop
church interference in politics is
for all Gentiles to get together
and vote together. We know
this is a hard thing for Idaho
Republicans to do, for they |
would not be in power today in
this State but for the Mormon
vote.
So Nugent and Flenner crowd
bolted because of the Mormon
plank. It's too bad about Flen.
