This article details a campaign meeting held by William Edgar Borah in Weiser, Idaho, where he criticized current Senator Frederick T. Dubois on his failure to prosecute cases of bigamy in the state. Reverend Edward A. Paddock asked Borah why he didn’t submit complaints himself, and Borah retorted that he will pay for any cases of bigamy found by Reverend Paddock for the next two years. The crowd is pleased by this answer. There are several other articles present on this scan, including one on Secretary of War William H. Taft’s visit to Idaho.
