their presence here to a single motive viz the desire to enlist the support of Mormon church officials In behalf of their respective candidates and ambitions There Is no evidence that the church has committed itself Use to any of them in fact all could doubtless plead not guilty guilt to the charge of having conversed with President Joseph F Smith for the very good reason that President Smith has manifested a great impatience to use a amUd mild mUd word toward Gentile politicians L who come his favor But the Idahoans have been been consulting with the lesser Jesser officials of the church and with Mormon lormon politicians who are supposed or who claim to have Influence Gooding Was the Last Governor G Gooding was the last to visit Zion He came here ostensibly to attend a meeting of the

of his own The governors governors Idaho organ has declared that In view of the great responsibility which rests upon the governor in the theSte Ste murder prosecutions and the fact that his course therein must be vindicated It would be a crime for anybody else to aspire for f r his shoes Nevertheless Governor Gooding is mighty mIght fearful that the crime will wUl be committed and that his party will ratify it The governor occasionally proclaims with unction that he is an Episcopalian or rather a member of the Church of England but If some soma Mormon dignitary would have a good healthy
