Show r TIlE THE ISSUE IS KEARNS S. S l Overshadowing every other consideration In the campaign is the fact r that that a defeat of oC the Republican party will wm mean the aggrandizement of or Tom Tomi 1 i Kearns Further If ft the Democratic or what Is called tho the American party win In this campaign it will wm be a a. victory for Tom Kearns learns In no other f possible wa way can the arming and equipping of ot that man for his campaign of off r f destruction bo be stopped excepting b by tho the success of oJ the Republican ticket s That Is the real eal Issue Back Back of ot It there are many reason why tho the thoi i Republicans ought to win They ought to win because It Jt is necessary that President Roosevelt be supported b by a Republican n congress and antI Utah after Gall all the blessings she has received should not be the state to refuse Indorsement or of the Presidents President's course Therefore Joseph Howell should be elected I z 1 In d measure nule the same Is true of ot the rest of oC the ticket Tom Kearns Is making his fight In n Salt Lake county count chiefly because this county count would would be most valuable to him In case he can capture it There Is a tremendous amount of ot possible boodle In Salt Lake count county and the capacity l his ls elt city servants have shown In accumulating graft proves pro how priceless the county would be to the Kearns organization This count county must not be allowed to fall Into his control I I Look for a 1 moment at what Is certain to happen If Jt Tom Kearns earns and his f party shall win this election In the tho first place you can expect little good from a n. m man n whose motives are bad Kearns Is opposing tho the Republican i I Party party on the pretense that he is opposed to church Influence In politics The position Is s Illogical because the Republican party part represents the people and not the church It Is obedient to the people and not to the church Besides that hat Tom Kearns himself was the original beggar for church Interference In ln politics He Ho Invoked It In his own behalf He wo worked led for the nomination of Reed Smoot to the United States senate and Mr Smoot was at that time an apostle as much as he Is today Tom Kearns sought by repeated t Interviews and reiterated d attempts to make the tho church Interfere in politics and send him a a. second time Ume to the senate y Remember these facts when you como come to measure the motives of Tom Kearns Remember that it was long after aCter he had indorsed an apostle for forthe the United States senate long after ho had employed church influence in fn his hism m I own behalf that he suddenly experienced his change chango of ot heart and began the i fight which he has hag continued to the present It was only when the church under under tho the presidency of Joseph F. F Smith refused to permit the church to interfere In fn the politics of ot Utah and by that action refused to return Tom lOom Tomi i Kearns to the senate that he found he had an any grievance against either church or apostle or the system of hierarchal domination Keeping In fn mind these things and the Intense hostility of tho the man as ns E expressed In his various arious n newspapers for the last three years it is easy to see I. I what would be his course if he should In the present election Utah would J not be permitted to rest in peace A war against an nn element of this community would be Inaugurated and would b be bt waged with passionate e bitterness Not Notly by by ly the machinery of or courts alone but b- b by tho the taxing power which his capture of or the must give him would his Influence be felt I i f It would be easily within his POWer In the event c of or his carrying this t election to wreak vengeance e even e cn to 10 absolute ruin upon eve every business man manlio who lio had opposed d him and Mould would refuse to come In and servo him Imagine how valuable to the advertising columns of ot the Salt Lake Tribune would be the power of ot a a. dictator who controlled tho the taxation of ot the tho merchants of pC Salt Lake You can see how readily his control o of the street department would equip him for tor the thousand petty annoyances that would drive men mento mento to give him money since their only alternative would be ruin You can see aee how he would use the water department for the same purpose Tho The open records of ot this department which can be examined by any citizen show how perfectly incapable and Inefficient servants are are the men whom Kearns has placed in the offices of ot the city And yet when they arc are openly caught In their dereliction tho the Kearns papers rush to their defense and seek to stain with Insult every on w who o makes the compromising disclosure If U Tom Kearns shall win this election no decent Gentile In Salt Lake Lako will be safe outside the tho American party If It he shall win this election the I heavy hand of ot his wrath will be laid in punishment upon those thoC whom h he hales hates today toda but dares not yet ret attack As to the Mormon element of oC th the tho community without regard to their party part in the tho past they ma may expect tho the most limitless persecution If It they do not by this time I know Tom Torn Kearns and tho the temper of ot tho the agencies ho lie controls control nothing but the tho actual visitation of wrath upon them can convince them But those who have eyes eye to see nn and ears cars to hear will know that disfranchisement would be he the first weapon he ho would employ against them After that and by the same Ramo process of official annoyances and Injustice that he directs against offending Gentiles would bo be used In th the confiscation o of their property If H resistance o of any sort should be orr offered by 1 either cither Mormon or Gentile no words of or a careful man could point paint th thu black punishment that would bo be visited upon them How the columns o otho of oC tho the Tribune would reek with abu abuse o of oC every man who failed to bow how tho the knee kne to Tom Torn Kearns How lIow tho the slander loving makers of or that paper would reve revel In the tho freedom given them to color ever every news story nn and Invent every ery charge chargo which could b by nn any possibility hurt the tho men whom Kearns could not control If the people of or Salt Lake want the tho Introduction of oC an era of or hate wan want the peaceful conditions of ot business disturbed want citizen turned against citizen In a measureless mea conflict want the tho whole world to be bo astounded ed wit with tho the infamies which Kearns and his papers will report as current In Utah they will vote for the Kearns ticket and antI enthrone that bad had man In a power which he ho will certainly abuse There Thore Is Js only one wa way to avoid It It There Thero Is Js only ono wa way to escape th the calamity of or a n Kearns control and that Is to vote the tho straight Republican ticket Give him hint no shadow of or official Indorsement t. t Put Into his hands n no power to embarrass and obstruct the progress of decent and law people Destroy utterly tho the prestige of oC Influence ho holds toda today Let th the world know that the people of oC Utah are still In control here Let the tho world worl know that the Republican party Is still the dominant political force fOlco In Utah Let the world know that the splendid resources of oC this state may be develop b by free men unhampered b by political ingrates and un undeterred 1 h by municipal traitors Let capital c. be Invited to come Let the tho truth of oC Utah assure goo good citizenship that hero is a home for it And let the people who now live here her know that lint the best efforts tho they can put forth for their city their county count and their stale statu will be magnificently rewarded and that no bad bud boss hoss of oC politics no millionaire abuser of oC the community In which ho he has grown rich will b he permitted to molest them or make them the 1 afraid Defeat the tho wrath of or Tom Kearns earns In Utah h by electing the Republican ticket on fues Tuesday a |
