candioate bestowed uDon Their. Some |
Of the. Liberals had charged the |
speaker with having favored the |
removal OF the Utes into the San /
Juan County. He wished merely /
70 say the charge was false. A very 4
surong effort was made 70 move the
Indians into Utah, and he told the
speaker that If the scheme was ear
ried out the settlers would be rejm-
nursed for the loss which It would
entail on them. 1t had also been

committee became disconnected ac.

due To these east and vest side
boomers. Then It was charged that

That was false. 1t was claimed I
that he had opposed these disfran-
chisement schemes he pleaded gull

would always oppose them. PRO

campaign was the maintenance of
their rights or their disfranchise-
ment. TWAS not aquestion between
himself and Judge Goodwin TWAS {
a question Of principle. He did not ,
see who could conscientiOusly vote
for the Liberal candidate. Surely
no Mormon could, because he !
championed their Acknowledgement.
II ii were true that the sons or those I
who had praetieed or sympathized J
with polygamy should be disfran-
chised Tor that reason, then young :
Utah could not vote for him. be- &
cause their parents or friends had I
with pOlygamy. No a
Jew could vote for him because :
their ancestors were polygamists. n
No Christian could vote for him for 4
the Captain of their salvation was a
born through polygamOus lineage, Il
which he never repudiated. No n
Democrat could vote for him be- I,
cause he was in favor Of the force n,
bill. No Liberal who signed the re-
against disfranchise- VI

himself. No wOrkingman h
could vote Tor him, because in In

traitors and scrubs. =,
No atheist could vote for him, be- M
'ause he was opposed TO liberty. No "a,
American could vote for him, be- In

He was loudly applauded.
J. II. Paul said the Peoples
arty were contending for the same
ghts as the people Of colonial
mes, such as taxation without

ligious freedom. He quoted from w
Ie Goodwin platform, and IN strong no

ssity for saying that there was Law
} plausibility in seeking to dis art
anchise pOlygsmists and il &C shC
that end. But when the
lie proposition Is made as it is
, the Liberal candidate that thS
