Show Has a Treasonable Purpose. ) Tucson Star. 1 Referring to tho Mormon lssuo in Axl-zona Axl-zona and elsewhere It Is a fact worthy of notice that nowhero is there any war or r opposition being mado to their religious ' doctrines, their religious teaching, 'tho 'l dopmas of their faith. 1 These matters do not enter Into tho I controversy now being had with tho Mor- 1 ir.on church or its people. The vitnl question Is: shall this denoml- 5 nation, church or hierarchy, placo itself I above society, above the Stato and tho , laws thereof? J Shall Mormonl3m bo taught to be surf su-rf preme to tho State, and whoro any of its ;j teachings como In conflict with tho law 1 shall the law be set at naught, and tho !' leaching of an ecclesiastical helrarchy prevail? pre-vail? I3 It true Americanism for a church or-m or-m ganlzatlon to mako It a business to seek f and obtain political power in tho munlci- pallty or tho Stato as ono man, and de-, de-, p clarlng, "Wo aro for no political party, s, we have no political convictions, no poll-1 poll-1 - tlcal policy, save that which will give us .1 power?" 1 ; We seek control of tho Legislature, tho 1 educational, tho financial and tho Judicial I departments of tho Stato and this wo pro-I pro-I l pose to have. . j Wo proposo to secure this control by r throwing out entire membership of tho l i Mormon church to tho party which gives ' A ta most I J That Is all there Is to us Mormons. J Jfcpolltlcally Give, give, is our creed, our Mpolltlcal platform, our alpha and omega, ,W, The Government Is secondary to our jW Jiorch hierarchy, nnd wo proposo to ox-this ox-this doctrine policy and our political ; c power to every State we can socure con-1 con-1 I trol of, and to tho United States Senate as fast as we can elect Senators to that ; body We propose (they say) somo day to bo 1 the dominant power In tho United States ' ; Senate. This wo hope to accomplish by Krcurlng just enough Senators to control 1 either party by our solid vote g ! This Is the purpose. This Is tho ono . 1 thing this Mormon hierarchy aa a church J is struggling to achieve. ,:: They seem to be making pretty good headway. This accomplished then what? ' ; The United States Senato Is in the con-; con-; , trol of a dozen or less Mormon Senators. . Then wo will have a union of church and Stato In fact and In direct violation of 1 I the Constitution of tho United fftatos. f This is what tho Mormon hierarchy 1b ' aiming at. , This Is what they have for years ' boasted they would accomplish. Thla accomplished, thoro is a moro 6erl-' 6erl-' t ous mcnoco In storo for the American peo-' peo-' Pie for tho Government. Will Arizona contributo to this semi-; semi-; ' treasonablo scheme? 5 . Will Arizona and her people otand idly , by nnd allow tho Arizona Stato to remain , i Ds now? Under tho domination ot a peo- ' P!e who aro determined to spilt tho foun- , , datlon rock of this Republic? a i ; 1 Shall these pcoplo bo given tho power to , bring nbout a union of church and State, 6 ; nnd this for tho purposo of enacting laws ; ! which will destroy tho social fabric of tho t i pcoplo and tho Government? |
