Whatever else may be shown by the complete
returns it is already shown that the Mormons vote, rule
sody BY just what process they all to arrive the
end is not altogether clear 1t enough for present
purposes to know that they do arrive there they
thereby able to decide the political composition of the
state In the present instance the two leading candidates.
Senator Brady and Governor Hanes would probably have
been renomnated had the southeast divided its the
ratio the rest of the state did With the result
FORE we have special quarrel But that does not alter the
fact Of the cohesion of the Mormon section that
through process at present fully known
means of concentrating this voe and that it is numerically
sufficient concentrated decide election and every
public policy Had the of the given reasonable ma
jorities to other candidates not have been
nominated elected The southeast is still the political ar
bitter OF the state of Idaho owing to its peculiar institutions
and always will be long the state is have
that The fact of being the not all or the
worst of it. In this special instance that candidates
must become syophants in seeking the special favor of that
sect and just what qualities is necessary have to
obtain such favor also unknown In the past there

presented their claims to influential authorities and received
assurances of being treated right of getting their share of
the VOTE in about the proportion in the Of the
state 1t is practically certain that if they not such as
there would have fewer candidates in the field
1t practically certain that there will fewer hereafter and
that the true source OF the dispensing power will better

ana the Mormon masses any detection as to
personality to party disparity whenever they choose to
do
1t is scarcely worth while to hazard opinion vet as to
whether the nominees at Tuesdays primary will be elected in
November or not but speaking roughly we should saw thew
will be- To explain why they probably will be wond no to
examine more closely into the workings the human mind
tnan Is permissible or prudent things stand Of
course large vote very much larger than is indicated by
the respective party registrations will be given in November
TO the minority candidates. but this will probably fall short of
election Thereafter there will doubtless come change
There will come change provided The Tribune and other dis

public policy the Mormon people will surely take meas
nre to counerac that control and to the ballot box
us que sancy while reopenng the public prefer
men and to public service to all alike We say this will come
ABOUT because such changes have always about in due
II IS only necessary to have such perverson free
government clearly proven the Mormon sect is
