accept the office of senator should it be tendered me i A QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE when I 1 was asked to become a candidate last year I 1 informed members of my party that rny my nomination m would could invite defeat for the democracy by ar against it powerful officials of the church the result pro proves v e a that my prediction was a true one I 1 I 1 had 1 d agreed an in good faith to the declaration declarant aratt of the church that there should be no interference by it in politics but that every member should be left free in tile the ex of the right of suffrage Bul therefore when the address containing the rule relative to taking counsel before becoming a candidate for office was presented to me tor for sign autre I 1 objected because it was riot not definite it if it hall had designated the officials who were to be subject to the rule it if it had named the first presidency the twelve and other high officials arid and even included the bishops I 1 should have signed it but its terms mele such h as to embrace every officer thus thal 9 including nearly every man tn in the church I 1 could not consent to the adoption of a rul that would affect the political liberty of 0 so many people and and give so EO great power to the hie church authorities ties I 1 felt that it practically annulled I 1 the former declaration ecla ration that there should be perfect freedom in political matters and held bold that we me were la ia honor bound to stand by that declaration the proposed rule was mag not for a day or n a year but for all time and who mho could say what use designing men not in the future future make of it YOUNG CAUSE because of the stand I 1 then took I 1 have been placed in the position of defending the cause imperilled Imperil led by the address I 1 refused to sign and I 1 have been asked to be bele lleNse that my any election to the senate at this time wall would id be of incalculable to I 1 that baa cit auise zise it if as I 1 have said young utah bellev believes 9 that it would be I 1 shall be at its comm command wid and shall be willing killing to give such service to the state in congress as I 1 am capable a of f rendering friends of
