Show OBJECTS OF THE LOYAL LEAGUE The objects of the Loyal League as set forth in headings and the enrollment lists are praiseworthy and such as no loyal citizen of Utah should hesitate to endorse Having very properly been J made public through communications of I the Secretary to the Gentile press THE DEMOCRAT again presents them They are as follows The objeots of the Utah Loyal League are to combine the loyal people of Utah male and female irrespective of politics in opposition to the political rnle and the law defying practices of the socalled Mormon Church to oppose the admission of Utah into the Union until she has the substance as well as the form of republican government to raise money to maintain agents in Washington or elsewhere else-where to labor for these endS If there is anything the above which justifies the presumption that the League is to be made the medium for airing the political views or to advance the interest in-terest of any political party THE DEMOCRAT DEMO-CRAT fails to discern it in the language used It evidently was not the purpose of those who in good faith endorsed by there signatures and contributions the foregoing declaration of principles to utilize the League as a backaction for either or any of the National political parties Those who attempt to do so prostitute the organization to a purpose for which it was never designed In our humble opinion the League is no place for appeals to the partisan feelings of the members by politically classifying the Congressmen and Senators who voted for or against the Tucker bill in committee com-mittee or upon the floor of either House It is no place to apologize for or smooth over in a palpably party spirit the act of a public man who snatched victory almost al-most from the very grasp of Utahs loyal people A revelation that the League is a political party and as such the members must remain in the dark concerning the disposition of their contributions we imagine would hardly be accepted as of divine inspiration by those who are earnestly combatting the superstitions of the Mormon Church The Loyal League of Utah has done nobly in the past Its work however is not completed com-pleted Much remains yet to be accomplished accom-plished and all movements to divert it from its legitimate purposes by attempts to transform it into a mere political club should be frowned down at once by those who joined the organization from honest and patriotic motives |
