Believing that conditions prevail in Utah that jeopardize the peace, happiness and material welfare of the people of the State, the Republican party, to be true to its ideals, must meet and overcome these conditions. Only action within the party can bring about such results, and for that purpose this organization is now effected. The party that tore the sanctity of law from the fabric of slavery and caused it to stand before the world as a crime against Christianity and made of the entrenched doctrine ot State rights a glaring heresy and established in lieu thereof an Indissoluble union of the States, without aid of outside agencies is able to cope with any evil that may confront the Republic or any portion of it. and . Therefore, while reaffirming declaring our allegiance to the principles of the Republican party, we affirm and endorse Article 1, Section 4, Constitution of the State of Utah, in its entirety, as follows: Sec. 4. The rights of conscience shall never be infringed. The State shall make no law respecting an es port of any ecclesiastical establishment. No property qualification shall hold office, except as provided In this Constitution. We believe in the equality of man and the right to worship God according to the dictate of conscience. We recognize that, as American citizens, church leaders as well as lay members of church organizations have a legal right to aspire to and hold political office, but we deem it unwise and detrimental to the best interests of the state for high churchmen of any denomination to become candidates for such office or use their ecclesiastical Influence in behalf of others. We believe that such action Is contrary to the spirit of the constitutional provision above quoted, and further that it endangers the existence of political parties and tends to pome. Utah.
