inside and outside the church would combine party and church if they could to ride into power he be made thede the declaration cl ile he made it because he had always lived among the people and had conceived them to 1 be e an honest people ile he knew they were god fearing and had given averi their confidence confide to the leaders leaders but ha be knew they would not lot uphold any man in in any act of perfidy and dishonor when that ease cape was presented they would arise and decide it aright applause lie ile had not thought it right t to be swayed by men v ho are trying to do by underhand irenes azat what they dare not do openly open lj ile he did not think there was one democratic Demorra tic candidate cind who was not willing to lay aside his office to help the people the

on our bide and a lacourse cauree chichin which involves the whole peace of f I 1 ut utah h we appeal on a ci cause g we ve know to be bernst just we did not lot pledge tile the mormon leaders we e lid did pledge the people to act independent of control bellave we have not asked for any influence for our lic ic tory when the question came up belore before Republican the lle publican leaders of the each they demanded assurance that tins this influence should be used to make utah lle republican publican he said eaid the democrats may not win win people may be misled he foresaw that flint would come men who have bitterly denounced the mormon church in the past are willing to take advantage or of the things they have denounced we continued on OIL ath faye NO AND STATE continued from lt page aale a may have to meet the republican party which lays as a shark in the wake of an ecclesiastical ship taking whatever crumbs may fall republicans will encourage interference so ve lie may have division of the spoils it is is not the mormon leaders we most fight but the Republic Ue publican arn party taking alvan all church influence fible it is not tile the pal pait t of courage or wisdom to retreat if we ave should remain a territory we would be confronted with it Outi outride ide interference might solidify the be people under a territory under a state there will bo be no excuse for this we must most make our appeal to tile the honest judgment olevery of every voter it in utah while the republican party may put forward upon the church yet there is some honesty and love of liberty in the republican pal baity ty those aiho n ho believe with us must come to our party as a place of I 1 refuge every republican chair 1 in man an has used these influences and I 1 I 1 everyman every man who aull fight for freedom must join our ranks let us as put our reliance in the people let its hi appeal to them if we fail our principles must fail no man must sell his vote in a free country men must not be allowed to lose their liberty no c citizen can call be absolved from the duty he be owes to tile the state because of his iq association with the church chuoc with this issue we ire
