Show I THE SO-CALLED OATH OF VENGEANCE I Prof. Wolfo tcstines that tho so-called so-called oath of vengcanco 1b as follows: fol-lows: "You and each of you, covenant and agree that you will pray and never cease to pray Almighty God to avenge tho blood of tho prophets upon this nation; and that you will teach tho same to your children unto tho third and fourth generation. "According to Mr. Wolfo's conclusion every Mormon parent, both male and fomalo, obligates obli-gates themselves to teach their children chil-dren to that effect and consequently sow tho seeds of treason. Tho question ques-tion Is, can ono single Instance bo pointed out whoro Mormon children have been taught those sentiments? Ex-Senator Cannon, ono of tho leaders In tho antl-Smoot crusade, was a Mormon until recently. His mother was tho plural wifo of George Q. Cannon, a loader of tho Mormon church for scores of years, and died In thnt capacity. His mother Is still a member of tho Mormon church Will Mr. Cannon go on tho stand and to3tlfy that ho was taught by his parents In his youth, treason against tho United States? His parents wore devout Mormons nnd If Prof. Wolfe's statement Is correct, ho was either taught treason, or his parents broke their oath and covenants. Mr. Cnnnon Cnn-non has numerous children, both he I nnd his wlfo have been In tho past Mormons and havo taken active parts in tho Mormon church. Mr. Cannon was also a senntor of tho United States while ho was a Mormon. Has he taught or permitted his wlfo to teach his children doctrines of treason trea-son against this country? Mr. Cannon Can-non has nlso permitted his Bon to perform per-form a mission In Germany, making ,conv(rts to tho Mormon church without his protest. If Mr. Wolfe's conclusions are correct all converts mndo by his son aro to bo sent to this country to bo mado traitors and breeders of treason. Frank J. Cannon claims to bo a great "American" patriot, nnd Is pronounced pro-nounced so by tho leaders In tho antl-Smoot antl-Smoot crusade. Mr. Cannon ovldcntly knows as much about tho Mormon templo ceremonies, If not more, than Professor Wolfo. Ho Is sustaining and upholding Mr. Wolfo by his editorials edi-torials In tho Trlbuno. Will Mr. Cannon Can-non go before tho scnato committee and make tho snmo statements as Mr. Wolfo? Will ho confess that he has been taught treason from his mother's moth-er's knee, or declare that Mormon children aro taught treason by their parents? Will ho ndmlt that ho has taught his children in tho past, before ho apostatized from tho Mormon church, treason? Will he confess that ho permitted his favorite son to take such a traitorous oath without protest, pro-test, and also permitted him to go forth and gather traitors and bring them to this country, to breed treason? trea-son? It Is up to you, Mr. Cannon, to either denounce Wolfo as a liar and scoundrel, or brand yourself, your parents, your children nnd your numerous nu-merous brothers and sisters traitors and breeders of treason. Which will you do? r |
