Show THE AMERICAN BEST CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT We dont pretend to say who Is la the author of ot the circular entitled The Th Fusion Ticket I which has been so generally distributed about the city We e dont pretend to name the man responsible ble for that utterance He knows His partners in It know But we w can say safely that it is la the best campaign document for the American party that bas been produced in the present campaign I We dont say who did it but say that he was vas very much more desirous of an American party victory than the victory pf of any other party now before the people of ot Salt rake Lake ahe We dont say who he Is but we do say that he heI I was wasand and Is very much touch more desirous of the defeat defeet t I of the Republican party than for the defeat of any other party I And In his literary labors for political treachery and municipal misrule he has employed just about as many of the arts of ot the deceiver as can be crowd crowded ed into so small a space There is the initial statement on the front page There is but one fusion ticket Wallace heads it ft That is utterly untrue The Republican ticket is aso and in a far better sense a fusion ticket DECEIVING THE TIlE PEOPLE Here Is another untruth In the circular The ticket containing the names of two Democrats and three Republicans will be bo designated on the official ballot baHot as the Democratic ticket The Citizens party is an organization of itself Its chairman and its committee have been most ac no active active tive throughout the campaign They may relish the statement that they have no existence But men who vho w ho know the tho A ABC B C of at politics know the Citizens party is a party It has made trouble enough to establish the fact of ot its existence And the so called ailed Democratic ticket instead of containing the names of two Democrats and three Republicans actually contains the names of two Citizens twe Democrats and one Republican Every Ever man who follows the campaign knows ond md nd no man who regards his word will deny It that the th three organizations Republican Democratic and f held their separate and independent organizations And men backed by bJ the Citizens were no more Republicans than they were Demo rats They The were Citizens opposed to the Ikan party as much as to any other We said saki that statement of the circular lar ar jr is I a falsehood Turn to the back page p ge and you OU gf gr Confirmation There you will find the words Remember the Democrats have haye no ticket in the field Ikil on which are exclusively Democrats THEY HAVE FUSED IN I GOOD FAITH WITS WITH THE RE REPUBLICANS PUBLICANS After that what will be thought of the thc man who says the t li Wallace ticket is ls the only fusion ticket And a little further man Informed and honest lonest knows ws the Republicans present a fusion fulon ticket quite as genuinely composed of men formerly differing in political faith as is any oCher other On the general Republican ticket are two men of the Citi CIU Citizens zens party and they are not Republicans at all They themselves disclaim it They themselves de dei i larr ar they the are Citizens And in order to get set one Republican on the ticket which will be called Dem Dern Democratic Derno o ratie the Republicans have hae placed two men from the Citizens party part That Is fusion In the general and fusion in good faith faithA AND A D FUSION IN THE WARDS W Then in the wards there is Joseph E Hyde Democrat on the Republican ticket in the tho First There Is In John Hollo Democrat for the council In Inthe InthE Inthe the Third There is Joseph Kimball Democrat for forthe forthe forthe the council from the Fourth anS an John M Knight Democrat for the council from tho the Fifth Firth What shall you OU say of or the man who will try tr to deceive the people with the statement that There Theres s but hut one fusion ticket and Wallace Vallace heads leads It He lIe telling tolling the truth Is he heThe heThe heThe The circular is open to further criticism In Its statement that There are two ways of defeating i fusion and reform In this campaign camp BY VOTING THE REPUBLICAN TICKET and by b voting the American ticket The capitals are In the circular I fan an anything more clearly show the desire of or that circulars author to help the American and defeat 11 the Republican ticket Then there Is the closing section of the circular I There Is iR the statement Tho The following are a few fe of the prominent Republicans who give their hearty heart to the Wallace fusion ticket And there follows the names n of ot fifty men most of whom have been teen recognized as Republicans In the past some of whom arc are true and stanch Republicans today toda And if there is a man among them who believes that a arote vote rote for the Republican ticket tIck t Is a vote against re reform reform reform form he should stand up like a man and say so If It there be one among them who thinks as the circular circular lar states that a Republican vote ote In this campaign Is for graft In city affairs or is against peace or Is s against progress he ho should declare himself In addition it is a sure fact that most of ot the fifty men whose names are there printed were yere deceived into signing that the names of many were secured by false pretense and you may take whatever view vu JU like of those words One of ot them it Is pretend d by the author of the circular and his friends Is the George A Smith who Is an apostle of ot the Mor Morman Morman man church and that fact Is used by them them to coerce followers of ot that faith Into support of the ticket Tho George A Smith In that list played up by the Tribune as Apostle George A ASmith Smith is not Apostle George A Smith at all The TheL L 1 Is 15 a Republican true blue and dependable And he openly declares his intention to vote the Republican ticket at next Tuesdays election NOT A WORTHY EFFORT The whole effort of the men who prepared that list of fifty names has been bean to persuade the people that the leaders Indeed the very presidency of the Mormon church was desirous and Insistent on every Mormon voting the Wallace ticket That is absolutely absolutely absolutely a pretense without foundation The Herald Republican has held from the beginning that the presence of the American party In the field is not necessary with all its hatred and all its intolerance BECAUSE THE MORMON CHURCH IS NOT INTERFERING IN POLITICAL AFFAIRS FF AIRS And here In this Wallace circular is the false pretense that that Is untrue that the church Is dictating On that we beg to present a statement from Thurs Thursdays Thursdays days clays Deseret D seret Evening News the organ and au t v spokesman spokes an c of ot the Mormon establish establishment establishment ment While on o this subject vre ye may nulT say anT ajr for general Information that the church has hall not taken any nur part whatever er In liz the either on one oDe side aide III de or the theother theother theother other Some church members Jue are Democrat Democrats and no II sonic me Dle are Republicans That should settle the matter of church control Every voter voter in Salt Lake Uke whatever may be his church 1 affiliation is absolutely abs free tree to tp vote as he will and there is no sort of church Influence to be bt exercised upon upon him Never Neer before have we been so o firm In iz the certainty that civic liberty is established establish d din in Utah and that the American party has bas no mis mission mission sion slon here And the above frank and bravo brave state statement statement statement ment proves it it S SWe We take the liberty to quote a little further from the News The Tribune Is mistaken In its classification of the signers of at of ot the fusion movement for tor competent comp tent economic and decent city government But we are not going to analyze Its classification any further than to point out that Mr George A Smith whom the paper places at the head bead of ot the list for an evident purpose is not as the Tribune states Elder George Albert Ubert Smith of the council of the twelve Mr air George Albert Smith suites to the News that his intention is to vote the Republican ticket and that he does not endorse the publication of ot the campaign document referred to The statement of ot the Tribune is false and inexcusable because the truth might have been obtained by Inquiry But that Is as near correct as the American organ ever comes in its stories about the church and church influence THE CRISIS IS HERE Now free men and free women of at Salt Lake here Is the case The Republican party presents a ticket composed after every honest effort possible had been made to unite all aU the opposition to the Amer American AmerIcan Amerlean ican lean party and a ticket at the same time which Is made up of the very best of men Their characters are above reproach Their principles are true and I honorable They are under the domination of ot no noring noring noring ring or clique nor church They solicit the support of the people because they are true and clean and free We e urge the he people to support them because a failure to so support after atter this odious circular has been sent to the homes of the people peoples will prove the Tribunes statement that the church dictates the political action of the voters We believe a crisis has come to the state of Utah and that certain men pretend to want vant a peoples victory when they simply want wan a II Republican an de defeat defeat defeat feat And they have precipitated the crisis The Wallace ticket Is NOT the only fusion ticket A vote for the Wallace ticket is NOT the only vote for reform reformA A vote for Wallace is i not commanded by the Mormon church for which we reverently thank the good God who hath made the wrath of man to praise Him This Is the time to prove pr ve the true of the people of Utah This is the time to defeat the ene enemies mien mies of the state This is i the time to work for peace and progress in Salt Lake And the way to every desirable end so far as it can be compassed In an election is to vote yote for Murdoch and the whole Re Republican RepUblican Republican publican ticket on Tuesday next The circular has revealed the cloven hoof of the opposition And every vote for the Wallace Vall ace ticket ti ket Is a vote for the victory of the American party a declaration by the voter that he wants wa ts the strife and the graft and the home defamation to go for forward forward forward ward triumphant with the indorsement of ot the peo pee people people pie themselves |
