Mormpns Aro Divided.
"The Mormons are divided into foui
sects the Brighamlles, the Morrisitcs,
the Josephlles and the Godbyltcs. Tho
Morrisitcs aro believers in the doctrine
of the transmigration of tho soul, but
unite with tho other schismatics in op
posing the despotic rule of Brigham
Voting and in upholding the theory and
practice of polygamy. Several hundred
Morrisitcs expelled from Salt Lake City
by religious persecution, lived in 'dug
outs' in tlie ravine at the left of Camp
Douglas and wore gratuitously fed by the
TTuIiod States army from the autumn of
1SU:: until the spring of 1SG7. when nearly
all went to their homes in the east,
leaving behind them, however, many vic
tims of the bloody policy of the Mor
mon church. Tho followers of tho
prophet, Joseph Smith, or the Moseph
iles.' arc inimical lo polygamy, and their
influence in this portion of the country
is Increasing. The Godbyltcs. or mem

"The health of the Mormon people is
generally good. In the city, however, the
mortality among children is quite large,
arising less from the Ircqnency and in
tensity of epidemics than from neglect,
Insufficient food and the practice or the
'laying on of hands' by Ihc dignitaries of
the church, to the exclusion of remedial

POLITICS IN IDAHO
Slate Auditor Taylor will in all prob
ability have no opposition among Itepub
llcans for a renomlnnllon.
For th rongivsslonul nomination on
Iho Democratic ticket the names of J.
L Seawcll and A. M. Bourmnn arc mon
timyd. Mayor Coltmnu of Idaho Falls decline!'
to allow the uf: of his name as a Dem
ocratic Candida t' for governor. Friends
iu Custer county have suggested Ills
nominal Inn,
In tho Seventh Judicial district, J. M
Thompson hna boon placed in nomina
tion ns a candidate fur the rtopnbllcnn
nomination for Judge of the district, lie
Ijs a well known lawyer of Caldwell.
Fach political party hits three candi
dates In the gubernatorial race: The
Dcmocratcs are grooming llawley, Alex
ander and Rice, while tho republicans
have Brady, O'Xcll and Clag:!ton? In the
paddock.
"According to Tho Wallace Tlmcn:
"Governor Brady Is like ox-Champion
James J. Jeffries. Lie wants another
chance, but outside tho small coterie
to whom bo Is the offlco holder's hope
thcro are few who really believe that
lie can ever come bnck."
The Caldwell News Says. "Perhaps,
If Miss Cliamhcrlaln had given more at
tention to tho perfecting of her plan foi
the schools of Idaho and lesn to tho ac
quisition of thousands of dollars' worth
of Carey act lands In various segrcga
tlonn, upon which she helped place the
price of water rights at figures highly
profitable to the promoters, she would
not need to third term lo do tho work
of her office In-"
"As the limit of time for the filing
of nominating petitions under the di
rect primary law draws closer so Iho
condition of things political begins lo
become more Interesting," says the Poca
tello Tribune. "It Is now ciultc apparent
I hat the crop of candidates, llko that of
wheat in the irrigated sections of Ban
nock county, will be a. bumper one, for
hardly a day passes that docs not bring
some new candidate Into the Meld. If
any credence Is to be placed In Dame
Rumor."
Governor James H. Brady will carry
every county in. southern Idaho with tho
possible exception of Bin Inc. according
to Fdltor O. II. Harbor of the American
Falls Press, whoso recent trips over that
part of the stato havo given hhn an op
portunity to meet the people and study
conditions. "In our county, Oneida,"
be says, "Governor Brady will receive
fully 90 per cent of the party vote at
tho primaries, while the greater portion
or tho remaining 10 per cent will go to
O'Nell. Clagslono is scarcely ever spok
en of and O'Noll so seldom that It al
most seems unanimous."'
That tho Anti-Saloon league of
Idaho proposes to conduct a vigorous
campaign for state-wide prohibition is
clearly shown by a series of proposed
conventions lo be held throughout the
state In October leading up to the
November election. There arc now US
saloons in the state; of this number 71
are In Shoshone county and 26 In Boise.
There are six candidates In the Held
for tho Kcpubllcan nomlnnllon for sup
erintendent of public Instruction, two
men and four women. They are S. Belle
Chamberlain, present Incumbent, II. II.
Barton. Miss Grace Sheppard. Mrs. A.
V. Scott, Margaret Kcenan nnd R. C.
Fglcers.
In announcing his candidacy for tho
Republican nomination, for treasurer of
stato O V. Allen, a prominent Boise Busi
ness man, says: "I hereby declare myself
a candidate at the primary election for
nomination to the office of state treasurer
on tho Republican ticket. My platform Is
a square doal for everybody, nnd a
strict compliance with the law as it
now Is or may hereafter bo enacted. Be
lieving as 1 do that the circulation of
petitions attempting to commit a voter
Is contrary' to the principle of the sccrot
ballot. I shall not circulate, or cause to
be circulated any petition in my behalf,
but shall pay the fee for filing my nomi
nation as prescribed by law."
The Caldwell News thus thrusts tho
political knife Into Borah. Says the
News "Those who have witnessed
Senator Borah's agility In the past will
be prepared to sec "him perform tho
greatest feat In his career. Having suc
cessfully been an insurgent nnd a Taftlto
nt Washington he Is returning to Idaho,
where bis support of Governor Brady
will only be equaled bv- tho energy he
will display In behalf of O'Ncil and the
high consideration In which lie will hold
the Clagslono candidacy as the ono hope
of a united party. The role is difficult,
but Borah tho splendid double-acting,
rubbor-jolnted, face three ways at ono
time, will be equal to the task. Just
wn tch the performance."
In announcing her candidacy for the
Republican nomination for superinten
dent of public Instruction Margaret
Kecnan, says:
"Believing that the office should bo re
moved as far as possible from practical
politics and promising if elected to de
vote my best energies to that end, I ask
tlie Republican party and all others who
stand for the same principles of educa
tion that I do, to give their support.
"Believing that It is the intent of iho
direct primary law lo cllinlnato machine
politics, I wish my appeal for nomina
tion and election to go directly from mo j
to tho people of Idaho.
""Believing that only experience sea
sons and ripens, I submit for your con
sideration a un-iquc experience.
"It began In an over-crowded dis
trict school in Ohio, and has Included
everything that pertains lo public school
work two years of county school,
fourth, sixth, and eighth grades of city
schools, principal or schools, county
superintendent in Idaho four years, train
ing teacher of teachers long enough to
know I preferred public school work;
and back to the prlncipalshlp of high
school. I have been In Idaho school
work eleven years and know by actual
experience iho problems anrl the possi
bilities bnck of every desk in the slate
iu both tho mountains and the valleys.
"Bollcvlng that the only campaigning
that 13 really worth while Is that which
began at birth, I respectfully submit my
candidacy."
W. A. Sanuns of Pocatello said to the
Boise Statesman on Friday night. "I
don't know much about politics, and I
am not n politician, bill from what I
can hear It is very apparent thai Gover
nor James II. Brady will carry both tho
clly of Pocatello and Bannock county by
large majorities. Ho carried the city
and county two years ago, and I beilovu
ho will do it again, in both primary and
election. Governor Brady owns the pow
er plant in Pocatello and markets the
energy which with a certain class of
people does not benefit hlin politically
ahd lias resulted In some opposition.
O'Ncil Is comparatively un.known down
there, and although his supporters aro
counting on enlisting the 'vH' vote at
the last election in his behalf, I Dud
there aro many who were alllgned with
what was termed tlie 'liberal element.'
who arc openly supporting Governor
Brady."
"In tho triangular race Tor the guber
natorial nomination in the Republican
party the matter lias sifted Itself down
to a matter of consistency." declares
the Wallace Press. "The light is cn.tirely
personal but the victor has under the
direct primary Ihc right to incorporate
his opinions into tho stato platform and
make them official utterances of the Re
publican parly. Thin Is true because
the law provides that the officials nom
inated arc to meel Iu convention and
adopt a platform on which Uie campaign
will be .made Two of tho candidates,
Clagslono and Brady, say thai the II
uuor question Is Iho paramount Issue.
Both arc ror stale wide prohibition,
though Governor Hrady says ho will be
guided by tlie majority or tlie Republican
parly on extending this Issue. Clag
stono stands pat and sny.-j that no party
platform can shako his allcglaucu from
the stale wide prohibition movcmciu
which he hopes will result in national
prohibition. The speaker further anya
that the governor Is on tho water wagon
mily for the -sake of the popularity it
gives and the governor Intimates thai
the speaker Is only a sham reformer."
