Show IT is said that the late Democratic candidate candi-date for Congress from Idaho will contest tho election of the successful success-ful Republican candidate The alleged ground of the contest will be that Mormons who had no right under the law to vote cast ballots for the Republican j 1 a a nominee We cannot take any stock in the alleged prospective contest for our information infor-mation at the time was to the effect that no Mormons voted or attempted to vote However we hope Judge MATEEW the Democratic candidate will go on with his protest and if ho can prove that any Mormons Mor-mons voted for Judge SWEET the Republican Republi-can nominee we hope he will do so A decidedly de-cidedly interesting condition of things would thus be presented The Idaho Republicans Re-publicans assisted by some weakknood and cowardly Democrats disfranchised the Mormons and deprived them of the right of suffrage chiefly because the Mormons had been in the habit of voting the Democratic ticket Republican Congress sustained and approved the disfranchisement because the party needed two Senators and a Representative Rep-resentative in Congress Now if it could be shown that the votes of disfranchised Mormons elected Republican to Congress the Republicans in Idaho as well as those in Congress would have to repudiate their Representative or say that it was right and lawful for Mormons to vote so long as they voted the Republican ticket Unfortunately Unfortu-nately for Judge MATHEW he cannot get the enemy into this interesting box as the Mormons did not vote and therefore furnished fur-nished no ground upon which to contest the election |
