Letter from William Budge, 12 July 1894
Paris Idaho
President W. Woodruff
Dear Brother
Conversing with President G. C.
Parkinson on Idaho affairs in Logan on Monday last I learned for
the first time that Apostle F. M. Lyman did a short time since
counsel the Brethren in Malad to withhold their support from my
son Alfred Budge who is a candidate for District Attorney for the
District comprising what is called the Mormon Counties.
It is not known to me that there is any objection to him on
the part of Bro. Lyman except what may be infered form general
counsel given in relation to leading Mormons pushing for prominent
Offices. Alfred is not recognized as a leading Mormon although ihe
is connected with the Y. M. M. I. A. and the office relates to what
may be called our own counties.
I had not thought of Alfred runing for Offfice, and did not sug-
-gest it, neither have I helped him, simply because he was my son.
No son of mine ever held Office, but he was proposed and sustained
by both Mormons and Non-Mormons, without opposition that I have
heard of. Leading Men in all the Counties of the District have been
working for him, among them some prominent outsiders. It is very
doubtful if any man will run against him, I have not heard of any.
Bro. Lymans counsel is likely however to greatly affect his
prospects, and interfere with the general arrangements of the Lea-
ders of the Republican Party in this District as the time is limit-
ted.
The position I have taken in regaerd to offices has been
strictly conservative, and well known, and to this effect, that the
party Leaders and People make freely their selections. That I have
no objection or protest to make if the candidates are qualified,
honorable, and likely to work in the interest of the People.
