ourselves ives as strong as they you will see in the loyal league the sinews ws of operation heretofore we have been operating single handed the trouble of the liberal idea was that everybody had an idea of his own and we had no means to carry on our operations not so with the new organization and we will know now how to carry every voter to the polls they had bad a majority of before but witti with the repeal of the woman suffrage there are several thousand less their acquisitions must come from some other source while ours come from their side many have and many more will do so many because they were not able ablerto to maintain themselves under the mormon theocracy we are now at thel point that we have only tour thousand votes to overcome that is if the mormons cormons took the oath we wa will overcome it through the ballot boband it if the many proposed railroads come through here bere that are contemplated s thousands thousands will be added to our numbers the ballot box is better than the was what we wanted bur bui was a step in the right direction the test teat oath is not very good lor for them to take why argue however that the bill is no account when are we going
