Show win Iff is I FRAUDULENT The Tribunes Tribune's attention has been boon called to Senator Duboiss Dubois's Scimitar containing tho the following followings following's follow tollow- ing ings It Is not expected that anything within reason will prevail against the Mormonism Jack of ot the tho Lewiston Tribune A newspaper like an In Individual Individual In In- I that at d defends fend crime l Is worse to deal with than Hum the thc participant In crime for it I Ihas has not sense o of ot personal guilt to Impair Its assurance Having taken a position as an advocate of ot practices that arc aro wrong the tho Lewiston paper employs the limit of absurdity in endeavoring to austain itself For example Tho The labor leaders expect to array their forces for one and against the tho other political party vart but the losing party does not make mak tho campaign against labor or pretend to favor Its disfranchisement disfranchise disfranchise- ment for tor all an that Tho The laborites also have criminals crim- crim among them other sects than the Mormons have havo criminals among them they have ShYlocks Shy locks i adulterers and others of ot abominable practices still o the church is 19 not assailed nor are aro tho vast numbers numbers numo num- num o bers of Innocent and worthy orthy communicants hold up to public scorn and obloquy because of or cases cacs of or individual transgression If It the other sects practiced crime under the i cover and protection of a sect organization if it thoy they taught crime in their religious publications in their their churches i and schools If as sects they defied lavand lawand law lav and and the code of morality upon which Christian societies is insistence founded founded Insistence upon tho disfranchisement i of ot tho members of ot such sects would bi be sustained Horo Hero seems to bo be the very head and front o or of ori i tho controversy Why y are arc the tho Mormon people guilty of ot all an tho things herein charged Simply because e Dubois Dubols says so 80 There is not a a. more orden or or- den dorly derly y temperate thrifty and decent set of ot people nn anywhere than the Mormon lonnon are aro Their Thel I towns and villages schools churches societies and even een their very clannishness show how it It The Thc court I records Jails and prisons show it There Is less lessi i crime an and less lawlessness among tho the Mormon or on people than among any othor other sect Dubols DuboIs claims that this is because tho they control the offices and ando o courts where they dwell anI and thereby procure Im- Im from prosecution What villainous die diet Largo Larce numbers of ot Mormons dwell in Ada county in Blaine Elaine Elmore and Washington counties where they are arc overwhelmingly outnumbered yet ct they aro not found in tho the Jails or their names on oni i the criminal calendars Tho The same sarno thing thins applies to Salt Lake City where government is la in the hands of ot an opposition party part tho American yet tho the Moet MorI Mormons Mor- Mor I t mons ara are not found In the tho police court charged with adultery lewd cohabitation or other of tho the offenses for which the they aro stigmatized d. d What then 0 makes them a a. treasonable an and criminal sect Duboiss Dubois's Dubols's Du Du- boIss boIs's naked declaration and nothing moro more Tho They Thoy arc arc an unpopular sect and It has been easy to prejudice against t them although any other I sect could ho bo made nearl nearly If It not quite as unpopular i I i by taking up up some of ot their dogma and pointing to tho sins of ot some of ot their communicants as a typo I of ot the tho whole There has ha never nover been a moro more porI por- por I verse and fraudulent campaign ever planned than I 1 t that at which DuboIs Dubols by personal persuasion sloe an and misrepresentation mis- mis representation has hils heretofore committed the Democratic Demo Demo- cratic party parly to and tho the retention or rejection of or 1 I which now tow constitutes the tho issue within the party i Moreover tenths nine of ot the tho followers ors of ot Dubois either cither know this is true or do not caro taro whether It Is 15 true or not Thoy They continuo continue to voto veto for Dubois Dubols not because they adhere to hI his fraudulent Mormon Issue but because they prefer to stand by tho existing existing exist exist- ing inS party parti organization or because they 1110 Dubois Dubols and want to help him win no matter what the tho Issue is Such IH la tho the plain fact of It Meantime l with Nero ero fiddling while Rome is burning while Dubois raves over 01 his Mormon Issue i suo tho the state seems to bo In n a fair wa way to be bo given givon over to spoils jobs and official lawlessness of ot the tho rankest sort sart Democracy in lu the tho state is IB a n. forgotten for tor gotten gotton creed and many of the tho party's ports most influential In Influential In- In members have havo been compelled out of self respect to seek a l worthier political affiliation Tho The Tribune has deemed it ft it proper to state the case caco thus plainly on tho the eve evo of or t tho e convention in order that tho the public may understand why It has hns necessary to reduce Mr DUbois Dubols from leadership lead lead- In case caso this tills Is la accomplished and ami In caso case It Is not Accomplished a wh why there will be heavy defection de lo- lo from a policy that thoughtful Democrats do not believe e In but abhor Lewiston abhor Idaho Tribune |
