The history of the Mormon church in the United States means an ecclesi. s.ticsl control that has ever been az gressive. exaetipg and tyranuical aud whose boast has ever b ea that the Mormon church and people do not and will not assimilate Nth the people of our country; whose dominating tenet IS | polygamy; whose doctrine is to segre- gate its people from all others in their sffsirsi who vote as one man under the dicsation of it's priesthood and only for those who can be used for it's base purposes; that as people they are un- American ond disloyal, and that for less reasons than these tae Chinese have been refused citizenship and are excluded from our country; that the Mormon element in our midst is con- stantly increasing; that the evil of their lives is a blot upon the good name and fair fame of our Territory, and that if we allow this vice to con tinue we can hope to harvest from it
