POLITICS JUST before the election in ohio the inter infer ocean approvingly remarked the women of ohio cannot vote but they will spend election day holding prayer meetings in eve eye every ry town of that state to pray for the success of the republican ticket 11 bless us and save usi but this is carrying religion into politics a ahli thing ng that the inter ocean accuses the cormons mormons Mor mon mons of doing it does not appear that the pintora of the ohio women helped the republican party a great deal but it seems that its chicago organ approved of the effort aud if it 16 had pre prevailed with the heaven heavens there would have been rejoicing in tho anter ocean office over the favor of divine providence to the party of high thigh moral ideas bat of course what would be

scandinavia against the introduction of any measure savoring of restriction of religious liberty for my part I 1 think the mormon movement will die out of itself us all abnormal movements usually do

they pretend hero here that their motives motive sare aare are not to proselyte and yet they are fent sent here for tb that at very purpose it is known that the mormon men man and women are too well welt versed in tho the doctrinal ve garles vagaries and contradictory crenda creeds of modem christendom to be snared mared or dazzled by anything that these sec Fec sectarian tarlan missionaries can
