If IP A MORMON THE VOTER PUT DOWN REPUBLICAN H Mormons, Democrat and Rcpub- H Iican, Expected to Support H Eldredge, Emery, Hansen.

Your answer to mv querv thai you are a Mormon fixes vour status. This is the year the church must go Eopublican, because wo have to snstain Smoot.'-' This is a frank statement and shows conclusively how tho Smootites expect to run things as best suits them. 11 is known that already the ticket is arranged.
