Washington Dec 13 Senator Du Bois of Idaho charged in the senate that President Roosevelt knowingly aided Idaho Mormons in the last state election. He claimed Governor Gooding was the Mormon candidate, while the other candidate, Idaho’s chief justice, refused writs for three labor leaders charged with murder. He said Taft was sent to rally Republicans to Gooding. He asserted non Mormon Utah and Idaho citizens deserve lawful support and accused Roosevelt of aiding an un American organization.
