| Show h DAMN THE ODDS The Tricks of liberal Shysters Once More Shown Up by Pah Ute To the Editor of THE HERALD I was talking last evening with a man who came to Salt Lake in September 1SS9 At the time of the February election head h he-ad not been in the territory long enough to gain a residence On election day agents of the alleged Liberal party came t him and urged him to vote Ho told them head h he-ad no vote at that time Damn the odds Como and offer your vote and if you are challenged step bactand say nothing Lots I of fellows aro doing it No danger The I gentleman being a gentleman did not go From this let the Independent Workingmen Working-men watch the polling carefully for the same thing will he attempted again Only yesterdayagents of the mongrel Liberal party were sneaking about the Wasatch building trying to induce recent comers togo to-go down to Liberal headquarters and leave their names to bo registered for the Monday election The tactics of the alleged Liberal party in voting stiffs mules and purchased thugs is i old Away back in the seventies Jako Behrman ana ono W rate who has figured l argely in Idaho politics worked the racket i m southern Idaho In the county there were thirtytwo gentile and about two thousand Mormon voters But a gentile contractor was building a canal there and had men and mules on hand There were also some gentile cattle on the ranges Mules and cattle worn given gentile names and all were voted The result was that the gentiles polled 15000 votes The returns were run in and accepted in spite of Mormon Mor-mon protects and the county was under gentile rule for a time V That such things as the above can bo done in Utah and Idaho when both are and have been for years under the control of United States government officials and no prosecutions prosecu-tions can be had no stop din bo put to it shows very plainly that it is not morality that the government representatives aro seeking to develop What then is their object Their actions are open to but ono interpretation they are after the spoils of oillce They are seeking to rob and bar rass the Mormons to such an extent that they will migrate again and leave the land they have made rich for their persecutors The man who does not vote tha Liberal ticket next Monday vlll not bo a Gentile That is what the Tribune has been at last forced to avow publicly It shows to what desperate straits Its party is reduced It shows the true color and character of the party Vote as we toll you or be damned is the meaning of it It is the old cry of priestcraft revived It means the inquisition inquisi-tion in Utah It means that the ring running run-ning tho alleged Liberal party will injure those who vote as they believe It means that the United States official service and power in Utah is being used to destroy tho freedom of the rightoffranchise It deserves de-serves indignant condemnation of every true American in the entire country and would receive ic ware the facts known Mr Lannans paper strives to mako a point against tho Independent Workingmen by wagering 5 that none of the men whc were concerned in the independent movement move-ment dare appear in the streets with clean i hands That as juicy as if Mr Lannan had gestate d it in his own gigantic mascu ine jmnch bowl Mr Lannan knows tha t no man woman or child of any party or creed can read his paper and retain clean hands Soap and water will not remove its filth It is the most brutal assassin of character that the American Press has yet produced But likq the spot on Lady Macbeths hand the history that Mr Lannans paper has made for itself will stand through the years as proof of the villainous persecution visited upon the Mormons whoso only crime was that they had made Utah a rica and pros porous county and utterly refused to vacate it for the enriching ot thieves Mr Lannan should change his wags 4 4 Mr Lannans editorial pinwheel performance per-formance on that Scotchmans words is not artistic That one just one Scotchman Scotch-man should have packed brick and mortar to help build nearly every house in this town is such a bungling lie that Mr Lannan must have gone outside of his regu lar hired liars to get it manufactured No ono or one hundred Scotchmen could have done what this fable claims As to that Scotchmans words about living on broad and molasses for twenty years thero may bo a bit of truth approximated ap-proximated in it The people who came to Utah in the early years of the immigration did not get even bread and molasses to any great extent or with any marked regu larity They were poor They had been mobbed and robbed and driven out of the United States They came into a wild Unsettled un-settled land They had practically nothing until they made ditches and irrigated land and raised crops Carting molasses lOCO miles was an expensive The people could get along without and had to do so for years But pluclrporseveranceindustry gradually improved the condition of the people until their prosperity excited the envy of those who had mobbed and tour dered Mormons in the east and then began the renewed effort to rob them here and drive them out again which has been engineered en-gineered by Mr Lannans United States officials and hired caluminators If that fabulous Scotchman got bread and mo lasses he fared better than the majority of the people could do for many years and that he fares better now is do wholly to the tireless energy of the Mormons as tillers of the soil Mr Lannan bad hotter remodel his fable of the Scotchmans words PAH UTE
