the Union many good people Mormon silke believed that the tnie had come when the domination Of the church would cease that we should have a state which should be no Joner by this hurtful force which had existed In ever since Its settle meet which had brought it Into hos the people into hostility with the ons the even the law of the country In this how ever after the admission of we speedily We I know I hat the promises which were made tlc ecclesiastical heads of the were speedily disavowed and re of course by direct al not by direct public avowal but by contInued acts of upon the of their There were promises also that the public stat LF of tie country not at 1 be openly but promises were and held for i there be WhO tell ha that i iw no ground for corn Ti see it o in the Des cret But my ou must remember 0 that in those sub bets a uses the truth In Ch era Truth in Small Doses In the applicatIon of truth to these the News is h decided home it believes In small doses Now in the face of all these thins we hare seen these Democratic azid Republican of Utah meeting year after year in state in county and andi i city conventions and as a rule with without out one word of protest against the wro happen leg For of you know my friends that we have seen a man who was a of the Mormon apostolate who so be was not was degraded who was an frocked and his apostolic commission taken from him Another apostle who was In his quorum was elevated to the of the United States Now what my friends does this mean Why It means that they have over their people and that they It Now propose a public organization which shall not be afraid to protest to the world against these ecclesiastical Cheers We propose a party a political party shall In insisting that these priests shall attend to their own busl of tving souls God knows In doln that they will have enough to attend to In doing this we assault flO mans O and no mais religion lou a few months ago in the Tabernacle In this town the president of the Sait Lake stake of Zion stood in his place and declared as his belief and declared it under the of hIs apes toUr authority that It was the religious duty of the people to have no social or business relatIons with only aS the of the case compel it Whence dil this man get his authority from his priesthood to make such a Now I say that tt priesthood dominated by such a spirit as that never can be the foundation and the people who will follow them blindly never in be the of a true AmerIcan tte 1 Criticism For Leaders What think my friends of leat era of people who will get up and con before a state committee of the 1 States which is supposed to con tam some of the first intelligence of tbs land that they are In violation both of law of God and the law of man And these are the people who Instruct theIr church and people These are the Inca who Instruct their people in such ways and courses and they expect Amer iet citizens to believe that they American citizens also Applause deny my that suph doctrines and such principles can control In inz AmerIcan state and 1 that we a party which is against such Applause We wish my that the political which wa shell have in will be like those of other states ind why should they not be so Under the circum circumStances Stances which exist here in my friends I deny that there Is any sen Democratic or genuine Republican party Some Facts

tan that he member of Mor Mormon mon and of the fIrst presidency to the senate oJ United And again this the president of the United and the leader of his Party iii the advised these Re that It was not wise or cx to send one of the apostles to the I senate of the States Veil thes met iii the legisla ture and their dupes and coadjutors flung scorn upon time of the a tre tho domination add o that oligarchy they are nol R publicans Lct come out flint and they will willbe be iid Republicans good citizens too as they nic tinder that dominatiOn T that they can cannot not be true citizens As for me I care not may do but I shall not party that seeks fot We wish that In we 1007 haVe haVea a elate is ii and with tb and oJ our country It will never comae until WC shall have a truly American ste And whoa that time sheIl come then we wilt have a state which will be worthy of the history of the country and be in truth a worthy Protector of the grandeur he and of our mighty republic Cheers Senator Dubols was the first introduced by Judge lilies Senator Dubols at times vehement and hIs hearers to a high pitch of l I as follows I ant not here tonight to a speech I only through a telegram to I was

Idaho it Is different But in our south section where the power of this Organization is so great we have many manya a one wh thinks inert of a petty who thinks more of a lIttle personal gain than he does of the highest type of American cItizenship But thank God In we have the grand north where this powe does not enter and the north with that man Henry from the north our candidate for gov governor stands by us in the southeast to tomake make this and if we do not win up Idaho it iS our fault Shame to tous us it we do nOt win the fight there But here you must rely upon outside power and as a

we will then know what to Bitter I Struggle This present contest is not of your seeking It f not of my seeking ou gentlemen here many of you remember with me the bitterness of that first and loom struggle Mormons did not speak to Lie was hardly worth th or Condition the early centre about this otic I ContInued on Page S TilE IN Continued from Page 1 recall In 1554 goIng to a rout UOn In what was then Onalda county Idaho which comprised wind is the counties of Oneida and Those who are will understand that that from the Utah to about QUO sixth of our then territory I went to this county convention where there were Democratic Mormons and seven Democratic Gentiles In those days In Idaho the Mormons all Demo DemoCrats There was no exception at There was no such thIng as Mormon Republican You were divided In Utah on other lines and Liberals We had the Republican party and the Demo party I remember Ricks who afterwards came to be president dent of the stake and who had only been in this county of Oneida about three Weeks when he stood up 11 that county convention and not the names even of the men whom he desired to be nominated h pulled a of paper from ala and said I SO Hale for sheriff arid I some lOdy elso for something else He nom hinted the entire his nominees votes against seven Cheers These seven Gentile Democrats over to Malad and we or an party carried tn election passed the teSt oath and the territory Tet Oath in Idaho That test oath Is now In the ties of Idaho it is a part of It I had the pleasure and it was olie of the great ones of my life of to Washington as a delegate from Idaho and asking Congress to na nato to statehood on it A great many Came Cameto to me amid said Vo cant do It with this test oath you must take that out I was wasa a

you desire It liege no territory can Into the Union with a constitution which our pen pIe do not of and our state will go Into the Union with the test oath in it or we will stay out forever Now after a while caine the manifesto from the first presidency to the apostles of the Mormon church ratified by the twice in conference in which they made to the government of the United States and the people of the States that among they would keep out of politics All of you recall the sigh of relief went up all over this mountain Why we were the the sun lies ever shone upon anywhere The fight was over We
