of some Enthusiastically that of Brig
ham Young-rites have been performed
for ancestors for four centuries back
But most important of all is the gath
ering room of the priesthood, directly
above the room devoted to the celestial
Kingdom. Here at times of conference
OF the Church and of crises are gathered
the high men in the Church to listen to
the voice of revelation as coming from
their leaders.
Ihere are two platforms. at either end
OF the hall, one for the Melchizedek or
higher order of the priests, and the 9TH
er for the Aaronic or lower order of the
priests. On the highest seats sit tn high
officials of these orders and graded be-
low them are the other officials rank by
rank.
None but the initiate know what in
structions are given here. Members of
the priesthood take their orders and go
out among their people to whisper what
they have heard, but to reveal it only to
those who will not repeat it into unbe-
lieveing ears. Only one open order has
come from this room in the eight years
that 1t has been used under two presi-
denotes of the Church-the revelation the
last summer reiterating the command on
the Mormons to pay one-tenth of their
earnings to the Church as tithing.
This great temple is really the heart of
the Mormon Church, the symbol of its
power. The mysteries it holds are the
secrets of Mormon unity which has ever
baff1ed the foes of this strange religion.
There are lesser temples, but this is the
building to which all Mormon hearts
turn
When the driven people first entred the
bleak Salt Lake Valley the building of
the temple was their first thought, and
on the second day of their arrival, be-
fore even they had made plans for food,
its site was chosen by Brigham Young.
and while the people were still facing
starvation the work upon it was begun
Millions of dollars have been spent on
its granite walls and strange decorations,
but the Mormon people feel they have
been we'll spent, for they believe the fig
ure of the Angel Morori, on its pinnacle,
really represents a divine being who is
calling to the earth to heed the voice of
new prophet.

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS DIVIDED.
Canvass Shows Very Decided Differ
ences on Bryan and Free Silver.

That the democrats of Wisconsin are still
divided was plainly shown by u canvass of
the political situation yesterday at Milwau-
hee. While the state central committee
favors the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan as presidential candidate, National
Committeeman Edward c. Wall does not
favor the IL to 1 issue, and many gold dem
ocrats are with him.
George W. Peck chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee, in an inter-
View last night Endorsed the organizat ton
OF the Bryan Club in Milwaukee Tuesday
night National Committeeman Wall how
ever, Is quoted as saying that as far as his
position on the national democratic COM
mlttee Is concerned, If the democratic con-
Nehtlon declares for the coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. he would not care to
serve on the committee
Speaking for the democratic state central
committee, Chairman Peck said.
The chairman of the state central com
mittee believes, and l believe most of the
members agree with him, that Mr. Bryan
should be nominated, and that he will be
nominated. They cannot well in their Off
cial positions advocate his nomination now.
III ne is nominated they will do all in their
power 10 elect him. believing him to be the
pest man in the world today. Individually
the members may join clubs to bring about
MS nomination or the nomination of an
other, as they may see fit, but their official
work comes when the nomination is made +"
