calne caire the object of the liberal candidate is evident he wants notoriety audiences of the dimensions that could be drawn together b by thet tha peoples veople s candidate would give hi his is opponent opi port unities that he knows he cannot gaan on his own merits outside ot of two or three towns in this gerri Terri territory toxy mr smith could not collect audiences larger than a corporals corporal Iq guard how much wisdom would thore there in giving him the benefit of the influence of the peoples party and candidate I 1 and mr caines objection is true beyond dispute from any respectable source mr smith has presented himself before the thel public as the th champion of that chaa party and which seek the overthrow of republican government in utah the disfranchisement of its citizens and the establishment ot of a despotism such as call cali cannot ot be found upon the face of this free land and the chief feature of this movement is abuse and misrepresentation of the church to which most of the people here nere delong belong this was the principal subject in the so called convention at att which mr smith was nominated and I 1 jn in the speech of acceptance which he made at that meeting his animus has been aten exhibited on every possible occasion and his assurance in asking mr caine calne t to 6 get him audiences at which he can an hurl his liberal epithets against t the e church and creed of his opponents is sst simply pi one more piece of that col impertinence e indence for which the clique mr fr smith mt represents represent sis is notorious even ven

time on the pait panni of the candidate whose victory is certain and when it is known wh what atkind kind of verbal missiles would be thrown by a party that deals in invective and revel in ribal dry brynd and abuse will it not be generally I 1 conceded that mr cames games nels yiew goedl dould could result from such a discussion is both correct and sensible if 41 liberal stump speakers want to
