 just returned from Salt Lake City, say,
 the only thing We had to do was Co sep
 Grs.te the pOlygamists from lawful voter,
 and that We accomplished at vers . early day after the arrival of the com
 mission Leading pOlygamlsts came tC
 us Ind said they decided to assure Us
 they would make no attempt to register or to vote and W uld do all in theiI power to assist us in general way.
 think they kept their word; ln fact, the ] MoTmOns conducted themselves fairly SD far as We could learn. We now have tO appoint three Judges in each election precinct. There has been good deal of nonsense in the papers about the con- mission favO,inc MOrmOns, while the fact Is tbere are whole counties where none but MurmOns reside, and as the | law is intended to make pOlygamy ] odiOus and does not disfranchise a nOn- ! polygamy Mormon, we could not do 1 otherwise than do just what We did-re- ] cOguiZe tbat class. So Tar as elections 1 are concerned they will, of course, be carried by the Mormons. They will ! elect Delegate to Congress aud the | polygamists knowing that their man will ! generally be chosen, can well afford to ] acquiesce ID theIr own disfranchisemeut l heard 1t said that the present Mayor Of Salt Lake City stood good show for | the Mormon nomination and election What will be the general effect of the law as 1t pertains to the election. it will take pretty nearly all the first class and wealtulest men of the Mormon church out of politics and make pOlygamy odious and especially to the rising gen. eration who dislike to be disiranchised on arriving at their majority. 4 fellow now thrown out will be looked upon by many as a martyr and in fact so con siders himself alre- dy. The disfranchis- ing of polygamists will certainly deter ambitious young men from too much marriage. I found that the polygamist element is located very largely Tn the rural districts among the less intelligent classes.
