Say tho Mormons, "wo want to show that wo have, In cood faith, abandoned tho practlco of polyjramy." May wo oak If thla happened subsequent to tho Ucwlston convention?- If It happened befow that, why did not tho Mormons exhibit somo good faith by approving tho Dubois anti-polygamy resolution? As wo view It, thero needs happen but ono thing more to placo Senator Dubois at tho head of tho Republican partr in Idaho. Let Smoot bo oustod, and It will follow, as the night tho day, that a Constitutional amendment amend-ment will bo proposed empowering Congress to deal with tho Mormon question, and tho ltsua In tho ncit campaign will bo as to tho ratification of the proposed amendment.
