tons toward the Mormon people as po-
tent factor in the politics OF this state
that caused the American citizenship OF
this southeastern Idaho country to do as
they did with this man Brady on election
day.
Devotion to Principle,
1t has been my privilege to know the
Gentle people OF this portion OF THIS
state we'll for almost quarter CT a CEN
tury. They need no Introduction al my
hands. They are known throughout =
Idaho for their patriotic devotion TO prii =
ciple and to patriotism, Many OF them
political experience in Idaho with the
Mormons. For some years past many OF
these have not been seen in state con-
ventions, AT legislative assemblies and
at state committee meetings OF the Re
publican. the dominant party In the
state. These good Gentle people OF
these southeastern counties have been
practically disfranchised. 1Te bishops
are In the saddle. They are doing the
politics at present They have missions
TO perform here in Idaho. and they do
not require tho assistance of these pa
triots In the performance OF same. These
bishops have been invited into the game.
They are the legitimate offspring OF q
Republican party. hammered into shape
by Frank r. Gooding and James II.
Brady They We're not kidnapped by them
for they are always willing to be about
when there are ''loaves and fishes"
One concrete example. for instance: In
county gave Mr.. Brady but about 200
majority. when IL had been giving Re
publican maiorities ranging anywhere
from 1000 TO 1000. Al first Brady was
hot He sneered and jeered them, but
as his system OF politics appeared before
him, he changed his tactics. He con-
cluded he would give Fremont county
such distinguished attention that the ex-
perience OF 1908 would not be repeated,
so he set about to bring the leaders over
10 Boise and hand out Che plums. He
gave to Fremont state game warden.

he gave them deputy state immigra-
state game warden. He gave them addi-

| gave them-at the expense Of the school
| fund OF Idaho-valuable leases of state
school land. in the doing OF which he
and his board violated their own printed
rules. prepared at their hands and printed
for distribution among the people of the
state.
Then. as the election neared he failed

county people the right TO enter the very

state request, that its lieu land grant for

reserves prior TO survey might be made
whole.
The Lesson Inculcated,
Now what Of the result? Let every
subservient Jack Mormon political trick

for It is the lamp OF experience Of the
past that serves best to guide along
the road of the unknown path OF the dim.
