operation this week this jhc thc act however is unhappily no eign sign that there has been a superabundance of harv harvest esthere here onabe on the contrary the returns to the farmers of nephi the present season are exceedingly cee light the result of mondays election battle in juab county gives the county to the independent liberal party their victory comes from the complete amalgamation of these two parties against the peoples peopled the candidates are geo nephi and delos lom hard bud gintic tintic Tin antic tic for selectmen and chao cans S nephi for superintendent in of schools of

election they could have turned the tide in favor of the people mondays suffrage contest gave to nephi a wideawake wide awake exhilarated character everybody seemed intensely interested in the election and all the registered vote voters not ot out of town save five appeared at the polls the total number of votes polled was in nephi of which 67 were liberals and independents pen dents in the entire county peoples peopled liberals with their independent allies the voting population of ef tintic gintic is perhaps not one out of twenty of these are property holders and taxpayers the others transient miners employed only for the time being ana liable at anytime any time to remove to other camps now how will those who have been elected by b y this drift element feel f eel among their old acquaintances of nephi when their constituency shall have left them for other voting fields and pastures new dr miner it is reported had on his hands last week some twenty cases of cholera antum don C robbins bobbins of huntington would do well to consider the proverb let another man praise thee and not thine own mouth a stranger and not thine own lips As to the tenor of the robbins bobbins rubbish the ensign endorses heading ng its comments with these phrases in well inked capitals food for reflection 31 don C robbins bobbins of huntington utah strikes the keynote rf of the cause OF of all dissatisfaction of the peoples peopled party an able document that should be read by all members of the peoples peopled party 5 let those interested be cautioned and act with wisdom accordingly these insinuations of the enago as far as the political situation of juab county is concerned every peoples peopled man proper feels to repudiate the people are incensed against the sheet that has uttered them the cry in general of priesthood dictation in politics among our people should be nailed it is paradoxical and absurd when it is known that most all the male members of our church hold the priesthood in some one of its orders so literally priesthood dictation would mean in the premises dictation by the people a very democratic proposition the book of mormon says 11 II 11 nephi xi 15 he com mandeth that there shall be no jio raft for behold priest crafts rafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a tight light unto the world but they seek not the welfare of zion zion means the honest iu heart doe doc and androv cov see sec 49 and all things shall be done by common consent in the church would this condition of free speech and free action among any other community be called a union of church and state how about nephis nephi Is presbyterian minister rev W N P dailey who is chairman of the liberal liberala Libe ralf central committee of juab co presiding judge of elections at nephi and who takes a most active part in campaigning for his party why not cry union of presbyterian church and political affairs in that quarter we rather admire the gent lemans energy and activity in promulgating his own convictions religious or political has not a religionist a right to enunciate his bis political views equally with a non religionist and a minister with that of the layman all are equal in the law equally interested in existing political conditions and under our form of government all alike are factors of the governmental sovereignty but to come to the facts more directly at issue there can be no dictation with the secret ballot of the exercise of any mans suffrage there was in nephi no church dic dictation ta tion in the maki making n g of the peoples ticket for the facts cannot warrant it in june after due notice a peoples primary was held in the court house for the selection of delegates for the nomination of council representatives county and precinct officers the proceedings edip of that primary were regul regularly conducted and the nominations were made from the body of the house these committees of delegates with those from the other precincts of this county and this legislative district made the peoples ticket so mr ensign how unwarrantable is your assertion regarding dictation from the heads beads of the mormon church and to the huntington aspirant for legislative honors I 1 will say in leaving your party to use your own words for the purpose of proving that a man does not surrender his political faith when he joins the mormon church you commit suicide to demonstrate a self evident proposition at least may I 1 say you can demonstrate the fact without becoming a traitor to every interest of the peoples party nephi aug
