IN SUPPORT OF Lands.
Social Service League Is Sending Out
Urgent Letters to Pastors.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Nov. 3.-Interest
in the reelection of C. b Lands to Con-
gress is not confined to this district. a
letter was received here last week from
a prominent clergyman in Salt Lake City
asking as to the prospects for Mr.. Lands
reelection and expressing deep interest
in his campaign on account Of the assist
Utah in his opposition to the seating of
Brigham II. Roberts. Yesterday letters
were received by at least two clergymen
here from Josiah Strong. of New York.
president of the League for Social Serv-
ice. The text of one of these letters fol-
lows, under date of Oct. 81.
Permit me TO urge upon you the i'm
portance of returning Hon. G. B. Lands
to Congress, which l do. not as a par
tisan but as q citizen deeply interested in
the general welfare.
"Mr. Lands rendered conspicuous serv-
ice in preventing the polygamist, Brigham
H. Roberts, occupying a seat among the
lawmakers of the land OF the many
speeches his subject made on the floor
of the House his was the most effective
III creating right public opinion. If pub
lie servants are 10 be rewarded for pub
lie service, he should be sent back to
Washington.
moreover. the question of a constitu-
tiOnal amendment against pOlygamy VIII
come before the next Congress. Many
other matters of great moment will en-
gage its attention, but I doubt If any
of them will so profoundly concern the
highest welfare OF the Nation or be so
urgent as the amendment If this state
ment seems TO you too strong / beg you
to read the report of hearing given to
Mr. Campbell and myself before the ju-
dietary committee OF the House, which /
send you under another cover. The coun-
try needs the help of Mr.. Lands in this
effort
Furthermore, il would be severe blow
TO Americanism in Utah If any of the men
prominently connected with the exclusion
of Mr. Roberts should be defeated i'm the
present campaign. The Mormon leaders
teach that every one who opposes their
church will suffer divine retribution. They
declare that Lincoln's assassination was
the judgment of God because of his op-
position to Mormonism, and now claim
that the destruction of Galveston was due
TO its rejection of the Mormon gospel.
Should Mr.. Lands fail to be returned It
would add fuel to the flame of their fanat-
icism by confirming the conviction that
divine judgment follows those who oppose
them.
Permit me then to urge upon you. as
one of Mr.. lands influential constituents.
the Importance OF actively supporting him.
regardless of your party affiliations. j
shall be glad to have you make any use
OF this letter which will serve the object
which IL has in view"
