follows We are opposed to any union and to any attempt at union real apparent possible or potential of the church l and the state In the language of the Utah constitution the supreme lam of this commonwealth < there shall be no union of church and stare nor shall any church dominate the state or interfere inter-fere with its functions We declare the state to be the supreme 1 preme authority in all matters that concern the political rights and duties of its citizens We believe it prejudicial to the interests of the state if any organization orga-nization existing under its laws should visit penalties disabilities or disadvantages disadvan-tages upon any citizen because of his free participation in the ordinary duties du-ties of citizenship We believe that citizens should conform to whatever the state expressly and of right commands com-mands them to do and in return for the benefits and protection which the state guarantees to them that they should serve the state whether in peace by casting a free and untrammeled ballot bal-lot or by holding office at the call of a majority of the citizens or in wary war-y bearing arms and in all necessary ways should defend honor and obey the institutions and LAWS OF THE COUNTRY The state has the right to demand that whatever rules of discipline maybe may-be adopted by any society for the regulation regu-lation of the political action of the so cietys own members those rules must be consistent with the laws of the land and with the genius of free institutions z and should be uniform in operation applying with strictness and impartiality impar-tiality to eaoh member of the class for whom they are intended and showing favors to none We reassert with all possible candor and plainness that any interference with the free exercise of the rights of the elective franchise will not be tolerated tol-erated or condoned in our midst so long as the Democratic party shall be able to maintain inviolate these sacred i rights or our citizens and conversely the Democratic party hereby reaffirms in behalf of every society religious social so-cial or political in this state the time honored doctrine of true democracy the guarantee of the utmost toleration and protection to each under the law with special favors to none and EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL We reaffirm the correctness of the doctrines of personal liberty which were announced by the reconvened convention t con-vention as principles dear to the heart of every true citizen of this republic We endorse the course of our esteemed fellow citizen Moses Tnatrher in maintaining main-taining his stand upon those principles of truth and justice amid the combined misfortunes and sickness hostile criticism criti-cism and the honest misconception of perhaps both friend and foe We here > svfth nominate him as a delegate tQ = bhe Chicago convention with the right I of naming his own alternate pledging to him in the future as in the past our cordial support and sympathy and assuring as-suring the electors of this state that as Democrats we have no thought of deserting in his present extremity this uprjght and courageous though disabled dis-abled leader In relation to THE RECENT MANIFESTO issued by the Mormon church we do not feel called upon to interpret nor to anticipate in advance the practical workings of the rules of discipline which it promulgates So far as we have been able to ascertain any mem berof ifcat church can be a Democrat z c c 3y j whether he voted for or against or did not vote at all on that document 1 |
