Show MORMONS TO BE BEARDED In their Stronghold say Eastern Papers, Mormonlsm Is threatened with extinction ex-tinction more absolute than could be attained by any mcic legislation, sas the Chicago Uecord-Herald. The Innermost In-nermost fortress of the Moimons at Salt Lake City Is to be attacked next ear by the legions of John Alexander Dowle. "Conversion to Zlon City tenets" will be tho slogan of the Dowle battloairay. "The restoration hosts will assured-ly assured-ly crusade to Utah In 1004," said one of Dr. Dow le's deacons the other day. "From Chicago and the neighboring states wc will move 3,000-or 4,000 strong. In the West Zlon lias many follovvcis, and they will be expected to join the ami." The founder of .Ion City anticipates a decidedly lively campaign against the sen led ranks of Mormonlsm. Ho thinks that the trend of nlfairs will be an thing but dull. No secret has been made by Dr. Duvvlo of his longing long-ing to contrive a convcislon of the Monnons, and the deeds that they hope to do in the Utah stronghold are constantly being discussed by the citizens citi-zens of .ion. After the iniquity of Chicago and New York, Dr. Dovvic, it is under: stood, believes Salt , Lake City to be the worst of remaining wicked American Amer-ican cities. Salt Lake's supeilativc badness, accoidlng to Dr. Dowle, is based not so much on the actual vice holding sway or on the number of crimes committed, ibut rather on the practice of Mormonlsm, which is pai-tlculaily pai-tlculaily abhorrent to Zionists. Hut the expedition to Salt Lake Is only a beginning. It Js nothing more than a first battle in a campaign. San Fianclsco has been charted as the scene of warfare In 1005, and on it tho crusaders will move at that time. It is said that all tho cities on the continent conti-nent which Dr. Howie thinks in need of moial reform and regeneration have been listed, and they will bo attacked one by one and jear by ear In duo order or-der of their Immorality. It is possible possi-ble that a foreign expedition to China will be auanged, Dr. Dowle taking Intense In-tense Intel est In the Chinese. When the San Francisco warfare Is waged partlculat attention will bo given to Chinamen. |
