being freed from surveillance in this respect ct would vote freely and the church influence would soon be in the minority the law was a fair on one e no one had the right to take the ground that any

morts efforts to secure I 1 congressional legislation notably the cullam bill Tra framed medby by hims ellby eirby which it was intended to disfranchise polygamists there had bad been a split in tho the liberal party of utah the ears lea leaders of that split s p ll 11 t were governor emery in e ry and ind general kimball bad had been fire brands in the party he had bad essayed the roll rol of

theal the liberal provision regard regarding ing thel tha mining industry i had bad lieen been at the thie dem demand and of governor emery i ho he did not claim that the election law was perfect but it was a step in advance and as sl such sueh ch should be accepted the main objection was its being too camber colne some involving too much machinery ner y in relation to the probability of frauds being perpetrated under it they were committed ever everywhere where it was for the minority to bo be vigilant in the asseier assertion and maintenance of their rights the liberals had been clamoring for a registry and secret ballot for years and now W it was given some of thein villi fied fled those who had done anything towards securing it he defied anybody to point to a stricter election law anywhere mr baskin objected to the assessors being mormons cormons Mor mons was there a state or territory where thel the registration was not in the hands of ane majority the chairman of the tha congress congressional loil subcommittee sub committee on territories had intimated that unless the utah legislature should pass a law giving the secret ballot a bill would be rep reported oried of that nature to the house houge if governor culery had bad refused to sign the utah bill mr cannon would have presented a draft of it to the committee subcommittee sub with the statement that it had bad been vetoed by the governor the effect would have buento been to have injured instead of furt furthering hering bering the cause ot of special congressional legisla ion lon for utah you would no more have got a bill from congress under such circumstances than if you had submitted it to the piute plute indians the speaker explained ithe the remedies diegas as against the imaginary of the f

other church oppression a he would as determinedly oppose i it from any and every other sour source ce it would not do to setup set up dictators of any kind aind unless a more tolerant spirit should bo be exhibited the spot split would continue and grow wider ho he would go further than his friend baskin and oppose e every vl ry church in existence the mormon church was not the worst that of oi which one of the agitators who appeared P on this platform meaning patrick A lannan was a member was a great deal more pernicious and unless vigilance were exercised it would some day sap the
