times are taken up to the council
OF the IL apostles itself.
1t is no wonder that people hav-
ing such a complete organization
are able to control state, and they
do, for the governor and nearly all
of the state officials are prominent
members of the church.
The cooperative principal of the
church is extensively carried into
business in Utah. President Smith
of the church is also president of a
dozen of the biggest business enter
prises of the state. Separate cleo
tons are held for all these enter
prises, but they are purely formal,
for an election to the presidency of
the church means that the other
elections will follow as matter of
course. Among the enterprises at
which he is the head are the Zion
Cooperative Mercantile company
the largest mercantile business in
the state; lions Savings Bank &
Trust company, the deposits OF
which are greater than those of all
the other savings banks in the state
together; the State Bank of Utah,
the Consolidated Wagon Il Ma
chine company. the Utah Sugar
company, the Utah Light & Power
company, the Inland Crystal Salt
company and hundreds of others.
Practically all of the business OF
the state is conducted by Mormons
and above them all comes Joseph
F. Smith and the church.
The organization of the church is
SO complete and far reaching and
the members are so loyal and SC
jealous of their rights" that they
are controlled in politics as easily
as they are in the every day af
fairs of life. And Reed Smoot Is
the candidate of the church for the
United States senate.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1902-12-11

nothing could be further from the
truth. The Mormon church is
stronger today than 1t ever was. and
no other church in the world is
growing so fast as this Church of
the Latter Day Saints" Its mis-
sionaries are to be found in almost
every community In the United
States. and missions have been es-
tablished in nearly every country
on the globe, the latest being in
Japan.
The keynote of the Mormon faith
and of its success is cooperation.
This principle is carried into every
walk of life and every business en-
terprise, and it is responsible for
the great success of the creed. All
sorts and conditions of men are
sought as members of the church.
and over them all the church reigns
supreme. Each member of the
church is supposed to pay into the
church one-tenth of his increase,
and these tithes are religiously
turned In. At the head of the
church is President Joseph f.
Smith, and under him the organi-
cation Is perfect. The great coun-
Gil of the church is composed of
IL apostles, and they are the final
court of the church. Not only do
they control the destinies of the

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 11.-A
nght as bitter as that which follow
ed the election of Roberts to the
, wffpnal house Of representatives
Cpsue which ended in the refusal of
t6at body to allow him his seat, is
about to begin in Utah with the
candidacy of Reed Smoot for the
United States senate.
That Smoot, who Is one of the IL
apostles of the Mormon church, is
being supported by the church is
evident. Some years ago an apostle
of the church was a candidate for
the same position. and because he
failed to obtain permission" from
the church he was disciplined and
dropped froh sih 9Th position, At
that time the heads of the church
in public interviews stated that they
could not allow men who owed al
legience to the church to enter into
political fights without the "permis-
sion" Of the church. That no at
tempt has been made to hinder
Smoot In his candidacy for the Of
flee is therefore evidence that he Is
supported by the church, which
means that he will be elected.
The candidacy of Smoot for the
senate is only a part of the plans of
the Mormon church to further its
interests by placing its representa-
tives in the greatest law making
body In the world. The failure of
Roberts to obtain his seat in con-
gress has not discouraged the
church. for 1t is not In the habit of
being discouraged over anything.
That Smoot will be elected is a
foregone conclusion; that he will
be seated Is another matter.
Few people who are not directly
familiar with the Mormon church
and Its methods realize what a
power 1t is in Utah. 1t seems to be
the general opinion that doing
away with plural marriages broke
the backbone Of the church, but
