Mormons Eminent constitutional lawyers who have since gone over all of the evi dence and road the ruling and opln xm of tho court say most emphatically emphatic-ally that in deciding that an alien rannot become a citizen simply because be-cause ho is a member of the Mormon church Judge Anderson committed a grave error and ono that the constitu tin and laws of the United Sales will not justify The steps taken to prevent the naturalization of Mormon aliens S wore the beginning of the political conspiracy spiracy that is now l tbt I beFog so carefully worked ont This conspiracy has for its object the crushing out of Mormon power in the city govcrnmentand the placing of the offices and the funds of the city in the control of the boomer < In treating upon the political sit I I uitkm in this city thh clJ Uipungent writer exposes the unfclrnn < 8 of the Liberal anti < 4Mormou tactics and places this exact estimate ec atmate upon upn those who them formulate and operate UumTheir Their campaign is I being managed by men who are as shrewd a shrwd and trick j as they are unscrupulous and how ho-w not hesitate at any sort of political I rascality when necessity requires The selection In every Instance ol r nnU3tormon or liberal regis tration officers by the Utah Commission 1 Com-mission I denounced D without au element justice tc showing Die war and prejudiced condition of he Utah Commission whose Ub Clslon whO duty is J administer the law with fair JO and equity Two of those officers offi-cers are specially named a having expressed publicly and otherwise their antipathy to the antptby t majority of the people ber thus exhibiting the fact that any attempt en their part pr to administer the election laws according ac-cording to the cpirltofjustice would involve a struggls in their own breasts The Herald writer draws this I vivid icture of facts With but two exceptions the registrars regist-rars were well chosen for the work in bsndand more outrageous misconduct in efface has never been perpetrated In accordance with the instructions from tho Commission the registrars beginning Xor 4 were require t visit each dwelling house and place of abode In the city and ascertain the names of enz voter whoso name I not already on the registration listand also erase from the list li the names of those who are deceased and those wlo have moved away from the precinct In which they are registered In perform I leg thIs work this registrar Intentionally Intention-ally I avoided visiting the house of a many Mormon voter and they have since placed every possible obstruction obstruc-tion in the way of Mormon seekIng registration Tne rank Injustice 0 tho registration registra-tion fraud canted the Mormon to appeal ap-peal to the Commission for relief but after hearing tho evidence tbo Commission Com-mission simply declined inset saying In a lengthy decision that lisa registrars regis-trars must obey lbs law and I they voter wrongfully deprived a qualified from the privilege of voting by refusing refus-ing t register him they did oat their peril The proceeding from beginning 10 end farclcaUor the Cora ning were tarclor Cm mlsion well understood that no matter mat-ter how many person are wronged by the having their names erased from registration lit they cannot recover damages Dmb when the registration reg-istration nOire opened the obstruction policy already begun toward Mormon voters was made more prominent than ever for lbs place of registration wa an old disused foundry and no ono but the registrar was permitted maids Persons 5e kIng k-ing registration were forced to stand In line and make application and answer Interrogatories through a small window Each day daring registration registra-tion week the rain fell in drizzling mists and the mud in i front of the place of registration was several Inches deep The misery 0 tho > oters w heaped upon them by the tantalizing conduct of tho registrars who asked each applicant s many unnoressarv and nonsensical questions that many were kept a full halfhour at the window This was for the purpose of delaying the work and by retarding tie progress cither tr out te waiting multitude or prevent all from being registered within the allotted tme That the Mormons were the only ones who really had any occasion for going t the place of registration was app ent at the very outset for all of the Gentiles or carpetbaggers had previously previ-ously beeii registered without being put t tha inconvenience of standing out In the wet and cold A conspicuous Liberal trick I thus spoken off Morons of high standing officials of the city have received notices that they would b required t appear before be-fore the registration board and again take oath that they are not practicing polygamy or their names would be stricken from the list Those who received ceived notices never were polygamist and all have previously subscribed to the bill oath provided by tho Edmunds billThis This Is an appropriate ending to this well written article our Chicago Chi-cago contemporary Although i is six web from election elec-tion day excitement already runs high Marching clubs in gay uniforms uni-forms tocral thousand strong and headed by bands and dram corps parade the city nightly Meetings are held in every ward and both parties give hIs and other entertainments several times a week It is the oddest 8ter lme wek I I oJt s well as the bitterest politic campaign cam-paign that has ever been known In the Wet I |
