Salt Lake had a more carefully-handle- d government in the days when a few Mormons gathered together and made a selection of candidates, or the people met and made a choice without holding a convention. were all as one great family in those days. There was no party lines. "We Apostle John Henry Smith, the smoothest politician in the Mormon church, who is generally credited with the engineering and management of many a campaign in past years, was by The Telegram this morning upon present iGiitkal conditions in Salt Lake. In an hour's interview Apostle Smith talked of the City Council, of candidates for the Mayoralty, of church influence in politics, of .vhat should be the proportion between Mormons and in municipal offices, of how nominations were made in early days in W. F. James, his condidate for iMaTV '", and a few other things. His Idea of Mayor and Council. "Mr. fmith," said the reporter, "as other prominent men of Salt Lake have talked to The Telegram upon the questions and issues connected with this city campaign, will you tell m your opinion as to what kind of a Mayor and mid elected this City Council year?" "I have been away a great deal lately." replied the apostle, "but I am ready to say that I am a zealous Re publican and as such want to see a straight Republican ticket nominated and elected." "What do you think of the plan for an independent citizens movement, of which many of Salt Lake's strongest business men are talking now'" "I prefer a straight party ticket." True to Party Ties. "Do you believe that at present the men in power in Salt Lake are true, to well-handl- ed cross-examin- ed non-Mormo- ns rt, their party ties?" "I beiieve they are generally so everywhere. There may be a few cases of recreancy but they are few. Men are honest generally." "How do you explain the fact that the present Council, elected as eleven Republicans and four Democrats is upon nearly all questions affecting the city divided 8 to 77" "Is that so? I have not followed their work closely enough to know much about it." "That is the case. How do you explain it?" "I presume the members of thn Council have acted according to their best judgment on public questions. Questions of conscience may arise that prevent a man from standing with his party, as has been the case with Senator Hoar, Senator Teller and other men prominent in political life." Questions of Conscience. n "Do you believe that any of the have regarded religious questions of conscience?" "I do not undeitake to say what has influenced their judgment. You cannot actuate a always tell what motives never enter man. Hut religion should into politics and it does not do so as far . as the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterSaints is concerned." -day "Does til church its an organization now advise that .such or such action on the. part of men holding political otlices would be to its or their interest?" Enters a Denial. L "Positively no. The church Is not in in any way. shape or form. jvbiitics member of the church is absoKvery lutely free to think and vote as he upon all political questions. pleases And I want to say that I believe th? Mormons, taken as a whole, have been truer to their po'itical obligations than our friends outside. Of course a great many have no political faith and vote sometimes tUth one party, sometimes with another, but that is true of people everywhere." "It is the impression here among: many that the acts of a majority of the Council are influenced by religious con Coun-cilme- Irrn "Have you ever advised a man politically from religious motives?" "The man does not live who can say Colo., that I .did." "Do you know that any of the church leaders haVe done s:?" "The church is not in politics. President Smith would in no way presume to do such a thing. He is a Republican an intense one. President Winder is just as strong a Democrat, but questions of politics are not considered in church councils." "Is it not true that Mormons elected to office by different parties have often stood together politically?" Tells a little History. "The Mormon people have been outcasts. You know their history. There has probablv been among them at times a disposition to UNITE FOR THAT IS ONLY NATURAL. But I would very much dislike to see any onditions arise that Would have a tendency to divide the people of Utah again on Mormon and SELF-PROTECTIO- J 0 on possible.
