Resolved second, That every condition neces-
Sary to the full exercise of local Self-govern-
ment exists in Utah. and that we are entitled
at this time to full fellowship in the family OF
American states and that in the meantime,
until statehood can be accomplished, we de-
mand that the Home Rule bill now pending IN
ongreSS be passed in order that we may be re-
lieved in some measure of the vicious and I'M
American system Of territorial government now
existing.
Resolved third, That we are unwilling any
longer to see any portion of our fellow citizens
deprived OF the privileges of an American citi-
zen by disfranchisemen when il has long since
been agreed on all sides that no reason now ex-
lists therefor and when they have made most
respectful petition to the president for relief,
and have gwen to him the most indubitable
proof of their entire good faith: we therefore
most respectfully but earnestly urge tpon the
executive to relieve our people from such disa-
biltties by granting to them unconditional am
nesty.
Resolved fourth, That we invite all citizens
who may be DISTINGUISHED. and who sympathize
with the principles of the Democratic party, TO
join us and take full part in our work of build
ing up the Democratic party in Utah, and we
pledge ourselves to give to all such hearty
welcome, and to use every honorable effort in
our power TO relieve Them from their dis
abilities.
Resolved fifth, Whereas, while we accept, as
made in sincerity, the declaration of the presi-
dent of the dominant church that the church
will not in any form, interfere Ill political mat
tiers; it Is a fact that the Republican party and
persons in its interest have used ecclesiastical
influence 10 further their political ends, and
have falsely pretended to members OF said
church that 1t is the with OF their church that
they should vote the Republican ticket. We,
therefore, denounce such political methods as
dishonest. contrary to the spirit OF our institu-
tions which require the absolute separation of
church and state and as a dangerous menace
to the liberties Of our people
