An OVerWOrked Case.

is announced have overdone. They intend to
turn the democratic party of the state to the
Mormons The Mormons realize that the republi-
of the state will not much longer support
their alliance with the republican machine. They
fear democratic victory won on the plain state
ment that the constitution of the state should be
lived up to- dthat laws should be passed and enfor-
ced Furnishing those living in the poygamous rela-
ton
They turned their attention towards capturing the
democratic party If they could have done this then
both parties would have been subservient to them
At first those whom they had secured to make
their fight mild in their statements They had
the services of the Boise edition of the Desere News
which is controlled by the Mormons and is Mormon
paper campaign of wfu1 Misrepresentation and
fasehood has been waged by this Mormon controlled
paper, and by the Ada county democrats, who for
some reasons stand with the Mormons in this fight.
At the close of most vicious deceitful and
rupt campaign the Mormons have Nez Perez, Ada,
and Canyon counties. There are some other count
les whose delegates not instructed, whom they
cannot control when the facts are laid bare at Twin
Falls
The regular democracy of the state who have been,
and still are making the for the enforcement
of the constitution of the state, and for the removal
the foul stain of polygamy from the fair name of the
commonwealth will easily control the Twin Falls
convention, and before it is will have majority
of two to one in that convention.
The democracy of the state does not intend to de-

on the same charge and the trial is yet to off,
The democracy of the state is not yet prepared

1t is known that he was the representative of the
Federation of Labor and that he spent its money
to defeat Judge Smith of Canyon county and Cover
Gooding, and that he used this money for the
success of their opponents
The democracy of the state when they have the
facts to review they will have at Twin Falls will
wonder what high of duty brought together
Frank Martin the chief friend and lieutenant of Elk
Governor Steunenberg and John Nugent his arch
enemy, living and dead.
The Ada county delegation is composed pretty
largely of attorneys This bunch of Ada county
conspirators has been trying to trump up contests
in every county in the state, with without cause
They have been extremely active for months, their
methods known, and have been, their secret
known The letters John Nugent
wrote to the Federation lodges in the state giving
the reasons over his signature why these lodges
should support him and those whose services he was
