PARKER WAS TRADED OFF

So i Wltnvu Says In the Inquiry Into the Binfulness of the Mormom, Especially Smoot. Washington, Jan. 13.—Nearly the entire day in the Smoot case was devoted to testimony relating to political conditions in Idaho. Frank Martin and F. H. Holzheimer, prominent Idaho Democrats, and non-Mormons, testified in contradiction to the allegation that the Mormon sect attempted to run the state politically any more than any other sect does. One new tiling came out, and that was a charge made by James H. Brady, Republican state chairman, who said the Democrats traded off Judge Barker, the presidential candidate. whenever they could get votes for Heitfeld, their candidate for governor.
