We therefore show to the country
that our protest * two-fold: first
against the attempt to place us In the
false position of condoners Of this
crime, and second, we emphatlcally
protest against its further continuance,
and demand that this law-breal ing be
given up II. all its forms, and that Utah
shall keep. in spirit and in letter, the
faith II has pledged to the people OF
the United States.
This matter disposed Of, the meeting
turned its attention TO the really inter-
esting propositon-that OF organizing a
non-Mormon party. II heard this re-.
port from the committee appointed last
week, and then, upon motion OF Judge
Street, authorized the present commit
tee Of five to add twenty-five names to
its membership.
Your committee appointed by this
meeting of citizens, held on the evening
of Friday the 18th inst, begs leave to
report.s
That your committee Is unanimously
OF the opinion that the present social
and political conditions existing I'm the
state of Utah warrant the formation Of
AN organization In sympathy with
American methods In civic matters and
utterly opposed to Mormon" DONNA
ton and control of our state, municipal
and school governments.
Your committee recognizes, however,
that the questions involved In such ac-
ton require such wisdom as can only
ccme from careful consideration and
further elaboration by larger COM
mittee. Entertaining that view, we
respectfully recommend to the meeting
the propriety OF the selection and APP
pontment OF a committee consisting Of
twenty-five representative citizens in
sympathy with this movement. and who
shall be authorized TO confer together
and give the matter such careful con-
sideration as will enable them to pre-
sent q definite plan OF organization for
the purpose OF furtherng such views.
