The K. K. organ is making a hard fight on Mr. Howell and Mr. Cutler, the Republican nominees for congress and governor, and advocating the election of Democrats. The attitude of the organ The ; ticket is of good, character, and stands high in the community. Moreover, they are well known to the public, not obscure nobodie3 like most of those who compose the K.

Said he, An American party canvasser came to my home and asked: Are you opposed to church influence in politics?' I replied: 1 do not know that there is any church influence in politics. The canvasser then said, Would you oppose church influence in politics, if it did exist? Why, certainly. Then he put me down as an American.

I want to appeal to the second and third generations of the peo-- i pie of this state, and ask how long we are going to be abused one year and petted another, and in the long run be rendered like a set of ninnies? Our parents came to this country and spent their lives in redeeming it. The graveyards of the state are filled with a generation of men and women as noble as those who lie around Plymouth Rock. They died to establish here a commonwealth. The responsibilities of that commonwealth rest upon us. Going with these responsibilities and hardships there should be some honors. But these honors are fruits of those hardships. We heard little of carpet-baggeamong us till the fruits began to ripen. Now they are on every hand. The same men who have spent years to persecute us are stroking us and asking for the best gifts we have to offer. If we were not the most tolerant and forgiving people in the world, we would not and could not endure it. We have been taught from the cradle to be for rs Number 2, 1904. 15 giving and to suffer wrong rather than to resent injury. But how long, young Utah, is it our dnty to feed the hand that smites us? Dont you know that if we stand for our rights, wo will bo thought more of, and have greater respect for ourselves? I resent the offer of the sugar-coate- d pill. I resent the offer to us of a name for any exalted position for any man who has been instrumental in filling penitentiaries with our fathers.. Let us demand of such men more than a promise that they will behave themselves. Actions speak louder than words. Hon. O. W. Powers came here to ocfcupy the bench in our darkest days. I want to ask you, my friends, what Mr. Powers has done to justify his asking us to send him to congress, where he can laugh at, our ignorance. What good in return has he done? Made a speech at Portland? That speech, coming when It did and being emphasized as it is by his friends, just amounts to an insult to us. And B. H. Roberts asks us to vote for Mr. Powers. Mr. Roberts, in whom we have been taught to place such confidence, wants him sent to congress because they each have had a son born in Utah. Thats about the only reason he could give for it Young Utah, cant you see through the scheme. You returned missionaries, who learned to love Mr. Roberts when he was sent to secure the dead bodies of our who had been beaten to death as a result of misrepresentation on the part of enemies right here at home. Isnt that a mixing of oil and water? B. H. Roberts, we do not want to view you in this light; we co-labor- would rather remember you as interested in us as a people. Again, we wish to be understood as regards Frank J. Cannons behavior. There was a time we taught our little children to march to music and cry "Cannon, Cannon, Frank J. Cannon. Then we combined our efforts and gave him the best we had, and truly it was a fatted calf to a prodigal son.' The name Cannon we honored not for his sake but for his fathers. We have not forgotten his backslidings. We remember his slippery course and we want right now to express our indignation at Frank J. Cannon taking the platform against his fathers people. He purify them! Why dont he renounce his religion and fight openly and not carry his sacred cloak and fight as an enemy within the ranks. We know what capital is made of the use he is putting, Frank Cannon, the Mormon to. Absolem! Ab- solem, if tint is not ingratitude. We have more regard for even Mr. Kearns in this case than we have for Frank Cannon. Mr. Cannon, the 'church has been injured by you far more than you have been injured by the church. You have demonstrated how dense we are and how and young Utah will resent your treatment of them by voting against your present party. If it were money you needed, it could long-sufferin- g, |
