Honor Any Other Result ResIt Means Continuance of Turmoil I To the Voters of Utah On the eve of oL o what may well bethought be bethought thought the most vital election ever 4 held in Utah it is proper to summarize summarizeS S briefly what has been done by the con contending contending contending tending parties and what may be looked for as a result of the election That the American party can carry the state no one will presume to de declare declare clare dare The election so far as the state and so far also as every county outside of Salt Lake is concerned lies between the Democratic and Republican nom nominees Inces Noone No one will question that 80 per cent of whatever the American party vote may be must be taken from Republican can cart ranks the other 20 per cent an extravagant allowance being non noni i Mormons whose allegiance naturally is Democratic That this estimate is away within bounds Is shown by the dimin diminished diminished diminIshed Republican and increased Demo Democratic Democratic cratic vote at the last city election No Democrat will concede and no lican can claim that the Mormon M on votes have added to the strength of the American party Republican as well as Democratic loss to the th American party has been of Gentile e votes In view of the fact that a majority of the Republican vote is non Mormon while less than 20 per cent of the Democratic vote is Gentile it t follows the Demo Democratic Democratic cratic vote Js Is u nt to Amer It follows also that j the s of the Democratic state ticket is a practical certainty since if the American party shall poll only such votes as the Republican leaders concede to it the defeat of both Republican Republican lican ilean and American state tickets is js assured and by that assurance the Democratic state ticket cannot fall fail of election Americans Gain Republicans I ILose Lose The same samo process of calculation in insures insures Insures the election of the Democratic D ticket in Salt Lake county The strength of the American vote in this county is the weakness of the Republican can vote in hi this county The stronger the Republican party effort rt by religious religious ious bus and false faIse appeals to Mormon Morman Dem Democratic Democratic Democratic voters the Gentile Republican Republican lican votes are driven into the Amer American American AmerIcan ican party This lessens the Republican Republican Republican lican vote vot without any loss to the Dem Democratic Democratic Democratic vote Were Vere it not for the false prejudiced and undignified course of the Republican party its plight in the contest about to close would be pith pitiable ble indeed Thus have Democrats been assured of success The American party can gain but little in the county yet its strength is great enough to en encompass encompass encompass compass compass the defeat of Republicans and give a decisive vote in favor of the Democratic county ticket Whatever motive may animate Re Republican Republican Republican publican leaders their course has made it unmistakable that an American victory v would be preferable to t them than the success success of Democracy The charge harge they make that there is practically practically practically a unity of purpose between the managers of the Democratic and American parties is so palpable a falsehood that no ng one appreciating the thereal thereal thereal real value of the statement or having respect for a character for truth and voracity would dare utter It How to Defeat Americans There offers an easy way for Republicans Beans to the American party If the defeat of the th Americans is I their chief aim and arid if the voting of Convictions is a secondary t lion then let all Republicans from Senator Smoot down smash the American party at one blow and give lasting peace to Utah by supporting the Democratic ticket at this election That is exactly what Republicans ask Democrats to do Surely Republicans could not ask Mormon Democrats to commit an act so Immoral that they themselves would not be guilty of it But the Republicans are not con concerned concerned concerned about the salvation of Utah so much asi as for the success of their ticket and every hesitating vote that by their S religious pleas is induced to leave Democratic ranks and go to either of the tIle other othet parties Is a 2 vote pure Dure and simple to t prolong and increase the bit bitterness bitterness bitternesS now existing in this state and to fasten more firmly the talons of the American party upon this state t Republican Misrepresentation Throughout all the woof and web of S local Republican philosophy runs the same unworthy and uncertain and makeshift thread In the hope bope of prejudicing prejudicing prejudicing dicing the unworthy it charges Demo Democrats Democrats Democrats of this state with wilh supporting in inspirit inspirit spirit the Dubois Dubols movement In Ida Idaho Idaho Idaho ho to disfranchise Mormons Dubois Dubols istha is the tha same kind of Democrat that the ed editor editor of the Tribune is Both are graduates graduates graduates ates of Republican R politics p and have simply followed the logic of Republican teachings Both seek s ek rest re regardless regardless regardless of the suffering or unworthy conditions these may en enforce enforce 0 force upon their fellow enow citizens Demo Democrats crts in Utah have no more use for the American party varty v vin in i Idaho than they have for the American party In Utah Does Dos any sane person suppose that the tho Democratic party of Utah 80 SO SOper per cent of its numbers members being Mor mans mons would or or by any possible in under heaven could be bc S h nade to iv support L the uit efforts w ot of a n party In m Idaho that proposed to disfranchise those of their own faith In that state because of that faith Ask the sane men of the Republican party Darty in Utah if thy they the y take any stock in that vile vilem method m thod of campaigning on the part of the organ or of its chair chairman chairman man Mr Salisbury Pf 4 Of IL a like spirit of o pure viciousness and desperation is the declaration of oi Republicans lS that it is is the purpose ol of oJ i 4 the 80 per cent of Mormons composing the Democratic party in this state to disfranchise the 40 per cent cen t of Mormon membership of the Republican party in inthis inthis inthis this state And even were it the n uri pose of the Mormon Democrats totals to tod dis disfranchise franchise themselves how ey do it without the backing and an p ort of the Republican majority ig Surely the gods first mak mad those whom they would destroy lor sane per persons persons sons dare not ke such suc arguments save to imbecile re 4 v vIn In view of action of leading Re Republicans Republicans Republicans publicans a r ago in defeating the tho party in the city election and in view ew of ot the fact that they are same methods this year theseL being intensified by a greater grear number of ot workers and a spirit of more determined recklessness are we not n t abundantly justified in asserting that it is the purpose ose of Republican party leaders to give Salt Lake county to the American party just as it tt gave Salt Lake City to the American party a year ago Respected Names In Campaign For the appearance of respected respect il names in the campaign this year which have long been withheld and which it had been hoped would never again be known as giving aid or comfort to any aspect of politics in Utah we can only express ss r gret The right to do so is inherent but the practice is unwise All An men should exercise their judgment No mans judgment can answer for an another another another other A mans judgment should be re respected respected respected for his acquaintance with con conditions conditions conditions upon which that judgment is based If a man be capable and have havea a knowledge of the

respect should it receive Need of Untrammeled led Politics It should not be forgotten that no noless noless n less vital to the world than a religious us conviction Is a political faith And as much has been accomplished d for man mankind mant S kind by one as by the other In truth political freedom has bas ever been the forerunner of religious tolerance There is room in Utah for enlightened reli religious religious religious conscience and nd if that is to en cn endure endure dure there must be room for a free and untrammeled led political conscience c also A man is either honest or he ho Is
