Show WHAT FOOLS THESE MORMONS BE I When Shakespeare uttered that Immortal Im-mortal phrase, "What fools these mortals be!" ho must, havo had in mind people similar to tho Mormons. Word comes from Idaho that somo Mormons thoro propose to voto tho Democratic ticket this fall. They havo been led, by friends of Judge Stockslagcr, tho Democratic nominee, for governor, to beliovo that tho Democratic Dem-ocratic platform does not mean what It says, but was formed simply to satch tho anti-Mormon Republican rote. A fool Is no better than a knave, 3eeing that his voto counts as much. A Mormon who would voto for any ;andidnto on the" Democratic ticket In Idaho this fall ought to be disfranchised. disfran-chised. Alongside of such a creature, Fred. T. Dubois is a man of honor, and as much above him as are tho heavens abovo tho earth. Tho Democratic platform is written In plain English, and tho Democratic candidates aro pledged to carry out Its provisions, if elected. That a sensible, sen-sible, decent man will voto to disfranchise dis-franchise his family, friends and relatives rela-tives belonging to tho samo church as himself, on account of their religious belief, Is beyond our comprehension. iot that is what every Mormon who fotea tho Democratic tlckot in Idaho will do. A Mormon of that kind is too base to associato with tho denlzons of tho Infernal region. Satan would jlvo tho wretch a piece of brimstone and order him to got off in somo corner cor-ner and start a hell of his own. Try and plcturo such a creature in your minds; his soul would bo so small that you could tako tho pith out of a camel-s hair, place ten thousand such f souls in tho cavity, and then they H would rnttle. Wo hopo the news from H Idaho is not true, but our Information H is so reliable that it is almost impos- H siblo to doubt It. H Truth is a non-Mormon paper, and 1b H not fighting tho battles of tho Mor- H mon church. Wo do, howover, stand H for right nnd truo Americanism, Tho H Democratic platform in Idaho, is un- H American and a fit relic of tho dark H ages. The man who would stand up- H on such a platform, and with such a H political Iscariot as Fred T. Dubois, H should bo, and wo beliovo will be, do- H featcd. H |
