an advance anco on an any of or tho pa past t There have o been surprises The Time gen general ral result has been Leen In partial doubt at times Tho The methods jf t t. contesting campaigners have o become matters of at history p. p But the American merl people arc are now In the act of recording their sovereign will No o matter what may maye be e tho the result when the I polls close this night In every ery little nook and corner corner corsier cor cor- ner sier o of the country the people of ot the great Teat republic will vilI have spoken their mind The nation will be what they want it ft Their mandate whether for good or IJa bad must bo obeyed If f tile the officers they the have o elected are wi wise so and good the he country will be immediately the better for the election But no o mattes matter what may be tho re result the time solemn ceremony cere cere- mon mony of ot a a. mighty people uttering their will must quickly bo recorded recorded and and can n not ritt t for tor or years Lo 10 changed Not ot In many years ears If It ever o have platforms meant so little This Is true of or every very part party part The have havo recognized In their candidates certain principles principles prin prin- and those principles are approved or condemned con by tho result of or the tho voting In 1886 the congressional elections meant the tIle committal of or the country to a protective tariff It was not a Presidential election and tho nation was not distracted b by tho the usual considerations of a national co contest contest- And yet ret a bigger question than had been decide 1 In n a Presidential election since that of ot Lincoln waa spoken by the people of ot tho the country in 1886 Th They y said the they believed ed a protective tariff would be bo better better bet bet- ter cr for tor the nation than any other tariff larUe And that command of ot the electorate was obeyed in legia- legia lation This the question Shall the policies J jC f President resident Roosevelt bo be rever reversed d 7 has been fairly and nd squarely faced aced by the millions and they have mado made their decision Within a n. few hours that tha decisIon in all its wide significance will bo Lo known Thero can b bo be no question now they have havo said caid they thoy want ant t e deal thc they thc wa want t commerce clean thc they hey p want ant big biZ corporations the Standard Oil to o be 10 decent thc they want a big navy they want the West Vest benefited through Irrigation and the whole helped through tho the conservation o of natural resources In Utah tho the most significant fact tact is that the tho Mormon lonnon church does not Interfere in politics We Weave have havo ave no hesitancy In n saying Sl that we dont don't think Oi Us ts absolute rule rulo would be so to detrimental to the tho people peo- peo plo ile nor so ro o harmful to tho the bEs best Interests of ot tho tale state state as the absolute rulo rule of or tho the party built an anti and financed by Mr Kearns and commanded by him But tho tile choice does docs not happen to be necessary and never novel wilt wIlK If Ie there ever has been a fear tear of or It in inho inthe ho tho heart of ot an any man that fear should vanish Inthe in he tho light ht of the tho past last campaign The Tho church would be a menace monaco to civil cl government go only b by ly p tal taking n up one party and compelling all members of ot the th church to sustain that party In Instead tead of that we have ha seen tho authorities authorIties' of ot the church keeping absolutely aloof aloot while members of both old parties partle have valiantly and with entire freedom for or tho the votes of ot Mormons l That should prove finally and fully Cully convincing to tho the p people ople of ot Utah There is no ne need d to long longer r project the bugaboo of ot Mormon interference In 10 politics Tho Mormons will vote yote as the they like and speak as they like The authorities do not even eyell pretend to control them in politics polities I If It the Mormon church wore welO a menace it Vou would woud r have havo stopped either cither the Democratic Mormons who ho have been speaking to their people or tho tho Republican Re Rc- publican Mormons As I it did neither but left the Mormon people free ree to speak and vote voto as they choose tho pretense of oC a menace should be bo for for- gotten gollen It should vanish forever And that is 18 tho the great groat consideration no matter which party may bo be successful tod today The Time peo rule Elected officials are arc I representative c of ot ail ab the tho people They aro not merely the delegates of the tho party part that voted for them They arc are our American system of or elections tho the bounden servants ser Clan Cl an of ot all the people and und under l' l them the rights of or all citizens arc equal There Then Is 15 therefore no rio need o of an church anti-church party It should now bo Lo clear that Mormons view the tho matter of or government go pr precisely HS as do other othor people If It in so fO bitterly waged a campaign as this they hey can be bo free freo and independent then they certainly certainly cor will wUl bo ho reliable members rl of ot their respective parties In other years Tho The day of ot strife should have lla passed d with the time clo close c of or tho the polls
