cement has created something OF
a Juror throughout the gentle
section of the state. Mr.. 5. }.
Rich, of the prominent Rich fam
lily of Southeastern Idaho is
slated for this important position
Mr.. Rich is, as far as we know
most estimable man. He has been
prominent in politics, business ant
church work for a number OF
years. He is a moral, upright
man, we believe. SO much for Mr..
Rich as a man. However, he is
Mormon. Every Mormon owes
his first and only real allegiance
to the Mormon church. The Nor
mon church is a vast religio-busl-
ness political organization. Along
with its many other activities 1t
conducts an immigration and col
onization bureau. The propoga-
ton of the Mormon creed is on
ly a part of the purpose OF the
institution. Among its other de-
signs is to control the politics
and business of every section
where it once secures a foothold.
In manipulating politics and con
trolling business it is the most
successful church organization in
the world. From a Mormon stand
point the State immigration Com
missionership is the most desirabl
position in the state. Directly
: or indirectly the money appropri-
ated by the State of Idaho will
J go through Mormon channels in
getting Mormon immigration.
The theory of the Mormon
church is to build up strong Nor
mon communities. They do not
want weak, struggling churches
scattered throughout the country
They send their missionaries to a
l southern state for instance. They
make few converts. The next
step is to locate those converts
g in Utah, Idaho or some other
e place where their community II
l strong. Now do you see how
!, nicely the Idaho immigration
r Commissioner can be used? 1t is
G as plain as day and the Mormons
have seen the opportunity for
years. They have appealed to
e every Governor Idaho has had
Is since the creation of the office
Il of immigration Commissioner tC
r give a Mormon that position. TIC
) the everlasting credit of Steunen
8 berg, Hunt, Morrison and Brady
n the state was saved from this
/ catastrophe. If you will recall
Hunt, Morrison and Brady had
but one term of office. Hawley
had not the nerve to turn down
the Mormon vote. He will get
: his from the gentle vote two
IL years hence. A man whose first
e act is to prostitute himself fol
d votes and sacrifice himself on the
/ altar of Mormon ammon, il
= not entitled to the respect of {
; home-loving, gentle people.
/ The gentiles of Idaho SHOULD
/ arouse themselves. They shoulC
| demonstrate; they should petition
| they should demand that this out
| rage be not committed. The MOI
| mon church has fastened itself OF
| southeastern Idaho already. 1t il
barnacle upon the state; {
blight upon Idaho. We want nj
more Mormon communities in thi
state. At any rate we must no
| have our state officials WORKING
in the cause Of Joseph f. Smith
| and his church. Now is the tim,
| for action. Democrats and Re
| publicans, Prohibitionists and So
cialists, should lay aside their dit
ferences, to protest against thi
outrage. Governor elect Hawle,
should be given to understand
that this offense to every home
this affront to every woman; thi
insult to every citizen shall no
be perpetrated. There are enoug
Riches, Budges, Parkinsons, Hen
dersons and Harris in Idaho al
| ready.
| When you make your protest
and it is ignored as it really vii
be, remember James II. Hawle,
for two years to come. Whel

the evening, remember that you
