made him the peer of the hierarchal law breaker of
Utah.
Truly, the organization represented by Smoot and
Borah was nvulnerable and kindly disposed to both
the heroes in this mountain drama
All the available evidence goes to show that the
organization is moving to prove its nvulnera-
bty at the election of 1908 and that the herarcha1
dynasty at Salt Lake is prepared to once more
dictate its terms in Idaho. If the combination
is again sustained, it in 1906, victory against
the American people will be easy
The votes of the republicans and the Mormons of
Idaho, when joined together, constitute clear
jority and unless republicans break away from their
party, they will again fall under the rule of the
church and there will be no government but that
of the church in matters in which the church con-
cerned.

Mr. Smoot testified: Shortly after I left
Washington, after | had made arrangements
with Mr.. Worthington here to represent me as
counsel returned home with the idea of hav-
ing local counsel as assistants. After | had can
vassed the situation thoroughly at home L
agreed if [ could secure the services of Mr..
Van Colt [ would do so; | had also thought,
from the protest that had been filed, that the
question of politics in Idaho would cut some
figure, as it has done, and that it would be
proper for me to have somebody who lived in
Idaho as an assistant counsel | telephoned
from Salt Lake to Boise City and asked Mr.
Borah if he would assist me as counsel in this
case He replied that he would and | fully
expected that Mr.. Borah would have been here
I received a letter from Mr. Borah that
case had arisen at home that would compel him
to remain there for some little time and tor
my counsel to go on. Mr.. Borah's name was
signed (to Shoots answer in the case) as
counsel, we, of course, thinking he would come

SmOOt COntradiCts SmOot.

Prior to the election of two years ago, in 1906
Reed Smoot apostle of the Church of the Latter
Day Saints and member of the United States senate
by the grace of the republican party said in public
address:
The Mormons can dictate their own terms in Idaho
this fall. This | can declare officially Our
ganization is invulnerable. We know there have
been few instances where Mormon has turned
deaf to the instructions from the stake-house.
And who be better political advisers than
spiritual adviserS-our bishops?
In January, 1905, before the senate committee in
vestigatng his right to a seat in the senate, Mr..
Smoot testified under oath:
Question: I will ask you whether, at any time,
either in your own matter or in reference to other
candidates for other offices, so far as you know,
the church had anything to do about it, any more
than the Presbyterian church the Methodist
church in your state, excepting always what you
have told us about asking leave of absence under
the rule?
Mr.. Smoot replied: No man or woman that lives
come and say that I asked them to
and vote the republican ticket account of my
being apostle a Mormon anything connected
with the church.
Let me ask you whether, so far your knowledge
goes in respect of others, there has been any at
tempt to use the influence of the church a church
in political matters in your state?
Mr. Smott replied: I never heard of it.
The testimony was given during the year prior
to the public address and the public address is
technical evidence of perjury by Mr.. Smoot. But
the public address is evidence of system of church
control in politics that could not have been per-
fected IN year or two SO as to enable the speaker
to declare that "our organization is nvulnerabe."
The result of the election in Idaho in 1906 demon
strated that the invunerable organization of the
prophetic apostle with the republican party and
that Mr. Gooding, Mr. Brady and Others not for
getting Mr. Borah, were in the disreputable scheme
to bind the state to the church, with the church
the dictator in all things in which the church
interested
In this connection another scrap of testimony
given by Mr. Smoot the day, before the
senate committee, is interesting and important in
showing the influence that engineered the deal that
enabled the apostle to assert that our organization
is invunerab1e :"
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-08-01

The connecting link between the apostolic prophecy
and the story of the election returns that proved the
invunerabi1ity of the organization with which Idaho
was won may here appear. Mr. Borah was an at
torney of record in the in which Mr.. Smoot
gained a victory over the reputable women of the
United States and decent society in general and the
election of 1906 in Idaho that controlled by the
Mormon church elevated Mr. Borah to seat which

Mormon Republican Interest.

Shelby Idaho, July 28-To the Scimitar: 1t
seems the republican press is taking an I'M
necessary interest in the democratic party
especially papers controlled by Joseph F. Smith
of Utah The Idaho Register is very busy copying
from the Lewiston Tribune articles on this matter
In its issue of the 18th it has purported interview
of John Nugent (Which of course never took place.
in which Nugent is purported to have said how
much the ]. F. Smith democrats had gained at the
Denver convention and what they would do at the
coming state convention. Then in the following issue
it throws some mud at the Boise Citizen for men
tioning Mayor Haines for governor the republican
ticket and says the Citizen better look after the party
it claims to belong to- Would it not be very wise
for the Register to take some of the advice so
freely given to others? For the last few years the
Register has been calling the Capital News some of
the vilest known to the public The word
liar often used that the readers of the Register
felt ashamed for its editor but since the political
pot commenced to boil the word liar is no longer used
and anything favorable to the Joseph Smith demo-
Gratis which appears in the Capital News is copied and
its truthfuness vouched for by the Register.
The Register says that there is no Mormon issue
The very fact there is issue is what is bohering
the Register and the republican party. The Register
boasts that it has been in business % years If So
let 1t turn back to It's tiles during the time OF the
ntiMormon fight of twenty years ago and where
the Register stood them. Did it say there was no
issue then? No. supported the anti Mormon party
and helped to win an mormon victory 1t did
not oppose the federal authorities in the prosecution
of po1ygamsts. The Mormons were all democrats
then
If the Register would speak the truth, it would
say this: eyes, the Mormons do mix church and
state; yes, they do practice po1ygamy and we have
polygamists on our subscription list but the
republican party have bought the Mormon church
and we must use them and must not abuse the trust
placed in u.s."
Dear reader this is the kind of papers that are
trying to aid good government in this state that for
political uses both sides of the question as
they fit and think the dear people have forgotten
This kind of papers throughout the state are the
ones that trying to Willy F. T. Dubois and the
democratic party for the high stand they have taken
to clear this reasonable crowd out These same
papers say that Dubois has hurt the state by exposing
the Mormon practices and telling the TRUTH instead of
lying and saying such things do not exist when they
are standing in the filthy mre up to their necks, as
the republican press and the republican party are
doing today
Citizens, which is the most honorable-which do
you prefer-the party that exposes the truth as it
actually is the one that covers the facts up and
