meeting and it is printed Just as he dictated it in response to questions by bythe b bythe the reporter porter r He said saidI I was not quoted exactly in the evening paper I began my remarks by saying I 1 regret the fact that there is such political strife among the members of ot the parties I 1 believe that we should have a more brotherly spirit toward one another I do not think this political contention I feel deeply what I 1 am about to say sa but I 1 feel Impressed to say it for I 1 think it is my duty dut to urge that we should unite against those who are at attacking attacking attacking tacking our church We must stand together to repel the attacks on our religion Then Thon Mr Ir Cannon read the Editorial from froni the Tribune of Oct OcL 14 after which I again said that I believed it was our duty dutto to stand stat together I do dl not know kno how you feel Thel el about it and J I do not pretend to dictate how you you shall vote All AU I can do dots Is to speak for tor myself mys lr For my part I am going to vote the Republican county and ju judicial judicial Judicial ticket Did you say anything about the national and alid state st t tickets President Taylor was was asked No I did not As a matter of oC fact I intend to vote the Democratic state and national tickets But did id you not feel impressed to tell your people of or that intention as a ayou you had told them of your intention to vote ote the Republican county and judi jodi judicial cial ticket t you ou No NoI J i took tok it for Cor or granted that they the would know kno that as I have always been beena a Democrat I would naturally nat rally vote that ticket with the exception of the can candidates candidates for county office He Expected Criticism I felt that be criticised and andI andI I told the people so soI soS S I 1 know kno that some people will criticise else cise my m action I said but I feel that God will know that I did the right thing and that Is enough for me I feel teel that God will bless that man who sacrifices es hIs hia politics for his pis religion That Is why I 1 intend to vote the Re Republican RepUblican publican county and judicial ticket That was the way I closed my re remarks marks When you ou announced your our intention of voting the Republican county c ticket it was for the purpose of influencing your hearers to vote as you 01 intend to voter r rI I dony do don think that th t there is any doubt but that that would be the re result result sult suit And that was your Intention I 1 felt It impressed to do what I could to assist in the defeat of the Ameri Amen American can part party In this county that is why my intention to vote th the Republican ticket 1 r I fejt that if the American party could be defeated It could be done by voting the t e Republican can ticket If the Republican party part were not strong enough of ot itself without the as assistance asI of ot the Democrats to the American Amerlan party dont you yoi think that the result would be the same If the Mormon Republicans were advised to vote the Democratic ticket and there thereby thereby thereby by defeat the Americans I suppose that is true but my idea was that the Republicans were the stronger party of the two and that their victory could be accomplished without moving so many over over from one oe party to the other It would be easier to go to the Republicans You did not speak for the ti t s of ot the church when you ou invited the Mormons to unite against the American party Oh no I spoke only for tor myself as asI asI asI I have said I was impressed to do |
