TO CONSERVATIVE ~GEyrmEs.'

III AtNSERt All l. L-A ILLS.
THERE are many conservative
"Gentiles" in Utah who DO not wish
10 see hldher trouble come upon the
majority Of the people. They de-
sire peace, progress and material
prosperity. They recognize the
fact that their interests are to large
extent identified with the general
welfare, and that if the great body
Of the citizens are injured, kept
7d5wIs and oppressed, the effects
.uion all must be more or less dis
astrous.
For this reason tiley disapproved
OF the StrIbIe ami Cullom bills in
Congress, which were. designed to
disfranchise ali the 'sssermonsD in
Utah. Some OF them were opposed
20 these measures on high moral
and patriotic grounds. They per-
ceived the inherent infamy of the
proposition and could not sane
ton the evil intended. An OF
them regarded such legislation as
inimical TO the general material in-
terestS o. the Territory. So they
signed petitions opposing those
bills suI protested against their
passage. They were right and con-
sisaen5 both sentimentslIy ami
from y business standpoint.
Now they are brought face to face
with z matter that is even more
threatening to the public good than
those drastic measures which they
helped to thrust aside. \ candidate
Cor Delegate 70 Congress expects

uouncss himself not only in favor
OF those bills which they aided in
Jloc5ing, hut Of still further proscrip-
tive schemes asains: the majority Of
U6h's population. He advocates
their complete political destruction
and would prevent their acquisition
q title 10 public lands. Politically
and materially he would blast aud
destroy them. Denial Of this if use
less, in the face Of his public utter
snees by tongue and pen.
II elected 10 Congress, this mis-
guided person would use his iufiu-
enee, personally and through his
friends and acquaintance, to &C
cOmplish the purposes herein Sc,
forth. They are the the great Oh.
jects which he has set out to
achieve. They form the goal of his
efforts for years. He has set hi.
heart upon reaching it. Thi:
and the funds which ne sadly need.
are what he has in view.
