Oct. 20. Dear W H1"1" Pnrose (Apostle and Editor of ' ijcscrot Nows); Something lias been litlng dlsconslon among tho young Mor-SfiB Mor-SfiB of Utah, and I think it's education. K youncr Mormons are getting bo they Kvr too much. Intelligence Is running ,Kt among them. "Why, some o them Kfat counsel llko Brother Smoot does Ha chance to sot up tho drinks. The 'Katicm Is appalling. Many of them oro Bually going to vote against Brother "tier. This secret ballot Is going to My tho devil with the church unless wo Jn get In somo reform work. VKccordlng to Instructions from Brother jrtSKoot to rope In -two Mormon Democrats n(t' every Gontllo Republican who votes MiK American party tlckot and report to ,PJK3ther Spry, I wont out among tho LCSpthren, and the Jolts I got havo sadly C?fBaxiiinsGd my spinal column and made aWBt Treatea as JLney usea to -tio. Krothor onrose, tho servants of God tan b not treated with that distinguished hslderatlon, apple cider, fried chlckon d other fixings as wo were in tho days Brother Brlgham. Things havo uiged, and 1 m afraid that tho Lord's refully selected and branded Mormons & i changing with them. Wo ain't aco w ;h any more Tofca STien f began holding gospel conversa-a conversa-a ns with tho brothers and sisters on Itics, thoy gave mo tho horse laugh, N9 1 quoted tho manifesto -on me In a way - ' tt mnda my raging thoughts bump at Id und l mi' skull like corn in a popper, jong tho old polygamists it was all ht. They had been taught to obey O.T. ler the Iron rule of Brother Brlgham ! 'arc manifestos taking back tho revela-toCa revela-toCa ns of God were common, and they jfcrci rstcil for the waters of the unfailing il ii rntaln which I had brought to them. "1 e old polygamists will vote for a yellow o-l, f If the church .says so. and I left s iers for Ihcm to do so that is, I told im to vote th straight church ticket ,o!S i 'Jpct Brother Smoot political dictator Utah, and they sold they would. Kick Out of the Traces. -Jsil lut the young Mormons. Brother Pen-It Pen-It is perfectly scandalous the way then V net. I found somo of them actually j.- iking before tho bishop of tho ward IjlOld them what to think. Thoy havo in educated Just like tho Genlllo cn-7 cn-7 Its of the klnsrdom of God. They have :lloJ vcled and they have absorbea queer f tii ions from the Declaration of IndeDend-jjj,!, IndeDend-jjj,!, and the Constitution of tho Unltea ojm Kcs, totally at variance with the loc-ululi loc-ululi '"' 'own ' 11,0 nrst presidency jaii j i)ie twelve apostles, whose business t fef Is to furnish them with proper views. , la li awful Brother Penrose. Why. ono aptla diligent young Mormon told mo that ho igl uld eat what ho relished, think his own y-, oughts, and do as he ploasod in politics S d business. He talked Just us If ho 3 t ow more than Brlgham Young, who . d nineteen wives, and this young snip 8 only one. It was shocking, but I hud : Jstaud It. It won't surprise me If theso 11 .ung Mormons voto as they please, and rtjirji it means tho American ticket, jy.i With great diplomacy I told them that riPF!

I showed SaftlBC1 t,mt there was no politics In this i CTtlon It was purely a religious matter. A aRhor Cutler Is a high priest of tho rst ffch and Brother Smoot an apostle, and fl?i ,W ,.lt """ mercly a question as to W "ether the Mormon JDemocrats, as well TtttJBttho Mormon Republicans, would sus-ifeBjKn sus-ifeBjKn theso good brothers, or whether they W-x sustain the "Gontllo enemies of tho Inj.lngdom of God," as Brother Smith calls pSm,!
