JTc gavo full nssuranco that the rights, liberties and persons of the Mormon peoplo would be respected just as would those of other denominn-'l denominn-'l tious under American party rule, just ns they were when the old Liberal party 1 had control in county, city and of the judiciary. It was only thoso who wore, i lawbreakers who had anythinc to fear ' from a just and equilablo rulo. ' Mr. Jackson delivered a forceful and thoughtful address to tho young Mor-i Mor-i JmonB. Ho pointed out to them that tho j American party was fighting for in dividual liberty and freedom from I spiritual control, and that this was tho psychological time for them to servo their countrynnd their nation by supporting sup-porting Americanism. It. D. Kennedy, chairman of k tho American party" "at Bingham, presided over .the meeting, and on the platform with him. besides the speakers, were a number of candidates, including Frank A. Swenson. 12. W. Kelly. A. A. Sweet, A. S. Mnrtin. J. W. Mcltinnoy, Allen T. Sanford, Arthur Braltnin, Frank E. Ccllvontra and others. Mrs. Plummer Sings. A specially pretty feature of the meeting was Mrs, C. G. Plummor's rendition ren-dition of "The Flag "Without a Stain." aecprnpanied by Mrs. "Loomis. Tho lady was enthusiastically encored. Held's band discoursed some fine music. V " ' ... Just as the rally closed some one carried car-ried into' tho 'hall an effigy .of "Hurry" Joseph and tho crowd had much amusement. amuse-ment. A morrydance followed tho no-litical no-litical meeting. In opening his address, Mr. Lippman said that during tho post ten days the' had lost something down in Salt Lake and ho had come to Bingham Canyon to find it. He said ho was looking for a fnan with a rod top, an individual characterized as ono who "bonds tho pregnant hinges of the knee that thnfu ma3' follow fawning" ne said he was looking for a sophisticated individual who is inloxicalod with the exuberance of his own verbosity. II The audienco knew ho meant I "Hurry" Joseph, and the speaker did I not have to name him. Speaks of Sutherland. Mr. Lippman 6aid that Senator Sutherland, Suth-erland, a "few roars ago, was just as rampant an American and as emphatic in his attacks on tho hierarchy as" any man in the American party today. He L was a man of mental attainments, and after all, said Mr. Lippman, he knows that the American party is right. The American party tries to rob no man or woman pf what he or she possesses under tho constitution or the laws of the government gov-ernment and the state. No man need fear the American party if he obeys tho law. No man need fear that his property rights will -be invaded if he ro-spects ro-spects othor men's rights. It is only the lawbreaker and the transgressor who fear the American party. Mr. Lippman said it "was an infamy i that the man at tho head of Brigham f street should claim to cam' the political destinies of Utah in his "pocket. He arraigned tho Mormon hierarchy because it would not moot the issues made by the American party. He charged theni with broken pledges in obtaining amnesty and tho return of tho escheated, church property and the violation vio-lation of tho law again&t polygaury and unlawful cohabitation; Thoy had raised the question of prohibition in Utah, but now they had abandoned it. "How can Utah carry prohibition one step further?" said he. "Apply it to polyg-nnvy. polyg-nnvy. Havo it so that man could v'oto on a stato law of having polygamj' in one county, unlawful cohabitation in another and some other kindred crime in another county. If it's right to local optionizc one thing, it is right to local optionizo every other 'thing that appeals ap-peals to men's desires." Opposition Denouncod, II Mr. Lippman severely denounced tho. I. opposition for attempting to mako pol itical capital out of the weakness, out I of thV shame and the perfidy and dis- grace of womankind. But now they had quit the issue pf tho red ligllt district, dis-trict, to which he referred; and then they attacked Amoricau candidates and charged that tliqy did not pay taxes. Then it wns discovered that the Amer- ican candidates paid three of four ( times more taxes than the Republican ' candidates, and then thev abandoned i that issue. In passing, Mr. Lippman condemnod the proposition that -wealth I was any qualification to the holding of ( 9 office. Then Sol Kimball appeared and the hierarchy and the federal bunch, afraid i to come out in tho open, hid behind the cloak of Solomon and attacked tho mon J and women of the American party be- causo they could nqt answer the issues. , Property Eights Safe. , "Mormons' propcrt- rights will bo r just as safe under American party rule in" the county as they hayo been "under American party rule, for tho last three years in Salt Lake City, or as they were under the control of the Liberals. And Snlt Lake county was under the control of tho Liberals and tho judiciary was under the control of the Liberal partv. Show me one instance while they had control of tho government where their rights were invaded. Show mo where their liberty was jeopardized." Mr, Jackson was the next speaker, after a solo had been Tendered by Mrs. Plummer, and he gave somo excellent advice to young Mormons, advising tneni to aid tho American . party in bringing civil and political liberty to all the peoplo of ."Utah. Frank E. Callavetrn, candidate for justico of tho peace at Bingham, and A T. Sanford also made short addresses. ,At midnight tho Salt Lake contingent left for homo and Zion tvub reached about 3.45 n. m. Harry Gushing had charge of tho train unrl cve'thing was carried out satisfactorily. |
