HELDI I UP TO PUBLIC 1 r SHAME IN HOUSE I Continued from Page 1 caitO and clear elear I ear voice and one that contained more muro mo o quiet eloquence than any of the other more or less leas excited outbreaks ho began his series ol ot charges harges against certain churchmen and lert in members of the house especial especially ly six members of o the th Salt Sait Lake county delegation in the house Holmans Charges Gentlemen Presuming for the sake of argument that prohibitory legislation on onU U the liquor traffic is i necessary and wise there still remains sufficient cause to allege that house 37 31 the measure der discussion has not received due 11 consideration in this house and that a de denand nand inand for reconsideration of the measure IH at this time is both reasonable and prop proper 1 r er The charge has hIlS been made against those e who have hae opposed the bill that they were actuated by ulterior motives I re resent reent sent nent this charge and assert that every move made by the opposition was le tI rate nate and in strict keeping with the proper procedure of this house The Thi mi ml minority minority I In this case has the same right to toI obstruct as the majority has to expedite I the passage of the measure and I am in inclined 1 dined to think that safe and sane legis legislation lation on this question is more likely like to 1 result from front employing the former tactics In preference to the tho latter Mr Ir Speaker I have the following I charges to offer in defense of my position I 1 The house as a body has neither considered the wisdom nor the feasibility of enacting any legislation of this sort 2 The house has accepted public cla cia clamor clamor mor nor and countless petitions as dence denee of the necessity of such legislation and has acted accordingly without investigating into the of the case 3 By B some sub rosa process beyond my powers of comprehension the Can Cannon Cannon Cannon non bill was passively accepted as the original and only panacea for the al alleged alleged evils of 1 the liquor traffic traffie 4 The Cannon hill bIll neither represents the HII Intelligence nor reflects t the honest sentiment of the membership of this title house bOWIE 3 5 Other measures similar in sub substance stance and Intended to correct corre t the same evils were willfully disregarded dl and did vat not receive the thc consideration to which they were entitled 6 All AH efforts on the part of certain to effect eff t a compromise meas ira were ruthlessly cast aside The ma refused to concede a single point in committee discussion or In floor debate thus forcing these members to appear as S unalterably opposed to any legislation whatever 7 The bill was railroaded through the committee and the th house and the man manner ner of its final passage would have hae been beena a disgrace to any legislative le body S 8 The measure Is a makeshift and de dc deserves deserves serves to b bE reconsidered I t come Orne now nw n w to a discussion of these them charges in substance u stanCe and fearing lest my m feelings should take advantage of ot my m better Judgment jud ent I 1 have hae undertaken to put mv my m thoughts In manuscript I J realize that 10 io arguments of mine and no ho Influence once nee at my mr command would be sufficient tt tl materially change the sentiment of ot tins this 4 house hou e under tinder discussion Other Othera a too mysterious for me to under understand understand stand and too powerful for me to resist r lia been 4 ell at work and they the have hae done their work well There are however eer certain tain tein features feature incident I l to th campaign for prohibition that are too raw for con COIl concealment cl and of such inconsistency as to challenge e the U suspicions of every lover of or justice These matters demand lures Investigation investigation and are certainly pertinent at this time Treachery Chicanery Blackmail The he short history of the tho prohibition movement in this state from the first call fco to arms to the final disposition of the tron bill in this house the other day contains such elements of treachery treachel chi chicanery canery can en blackmail blackman intimidation and de deIt Pit celt It as are arc without parallel save sae In the medieval medleys I courts cO of Europe On the sur fare It presumes to be a great moral reform but underneath is concealed a gi gigantic gigantic gigantic gantic conspiracy damnable in its It de designs signs sIgs The he least leest that can be said of this movement is that it is an aimless purpose ent tent without cause and without purpose Rut nut it I Is more than this thi it I is a political cal plot directed against the Inherent rights of If man and the vested rested rights of ot property a plot for plunder conceived and propagated by marauders of ot morals moral who 11 tJ ye e the audacity to masquerade In the theof HISO of great grat moralists and who in their positions of power deign to dispense divine damnation and public disgrace upon those thoe who dare to differ with wih them in this matter maier I would be understood at this time to refer to the certain few who have forced the issue and not to the thousands of bt noble minded men and women who are ae earnest in their demands for the betterment of ot the public morals and who wh have been ben unconsciously unconscious and caught In the meshes of this conspiracy I take it that had these men and women their way they the would be b more reasonable In their de demands demands demands mands and that in a spirit of calmness would have and fair play sober judgment been able to enact such legislation as would prove to be b effective But the few few ew ruled the maney Somehow or Ir other an Imaginary line Une was drawn drw between the saints sint and the sinners and the multitudes fearful of the cons coma consequences if It they the called cle their souls their own wn flocked focke to the th safe side Ide Then nubile clamor damor began bean to rise and the of petitions set in and In the midst of the storm of public protest this house In un undertaking undertaking the work was as confronted with wih salvation on one hand and damnation on the th other There Is but little litte record rd of the prohibition prohibition bion movement prior to and for some sometime sometime time following the elton last fall fal and certainly you will wi agree ag with me mt that it was not made an issue Isue In the recent campaign n I have been ben given to under End that prohibition planks plank were pro propos pr pos d at both the te t e Republican and the Democratic state conventions last year The people were in control of both con conventions If I the people as a a unit were vers de do desirous desirous sirous of prohibition why did not the platforms of these two respective te parties partes declare delare for tor such a measure Granting for the sake of ot argument that tha one o of these two party conventions repudiated the wishes of the people was there not recourse with the other party If I it I be betrue betrue betrue true that a majority of the people fa favored this measure is It I not reasonable to presume that at leat least one political party would have adopted the measure as a amere amere amete mere mete matter |
