MOSES THATCHER TEsTITIEs.
Moses Thatcher was then called to the

given In regard 10 his differences with
the Church on account OF politics, Mr.,
Thatcher said the controversy with the
Church was IN 1895 and 1896 and gave
an explanation OF his study OF politics
before he became active In any cam
paign. He also spoke OF his duties as
an Apostle Of the Church. 49,.
Thatcher unlimited his troubles win
the Church and said he always recog-
nized the power OF majority. The
first friction, according to his story, fol-
lowed a speech which he made In 1892
in which he criticized the Republicans,
and letter was issued by Joseph r.
Smith and John Henry Smith, protest
Ing against his remarks. Mr. Thatcher
read from letters and speeches which
appear in pamphlets and other records,
Among the speeches was one at Salt
Lake IN 1891. in which Thatcher declin-
ed 10 take part in politics on account OF
his ecclesiastical position, but In which
he counseled the Democrats 10 instruct

The crOss-examination OF Judge
Powers began at the afternoon session
Saturday Questions by Mr.. Van Colt
brought out statements from the wit
ness that he believed the "Mormon'
Church would eventually assume po-
slton similar TO that OF other churches.
With honest, upright and law-abiding
leaders he thought the people would be
honest and law-ablding. He deplored,
however, that the people were disposed
to obey the leaders Of the Church
whether such leaders were good or bad
Judge Powers admitted that Mr..
Smoot had been prominent IN working
for Republcanism before politics in
Utah divided on party lines. 1t was
brought out that Judge Powers was
chairman of the committee which NOM
mated Brigham II Roberts and Moses
Thatcher, both Of whom were Nor
mons"
The witness said the nominations
were the result OF the ability OF both
men and their courage In standing out
against the political rule OF the Church
The witness said he had not been on
the stump for Roberts and defended
him. Continuing, he said to Mr.. Van
. Colt:

pable than you were, who, ! under
stand, went on the stump and support.

Roberts by name"
The opposing candidate was Eldridge

abetted polygamy.
The s-eXaminaton was con-
oluded hut the witness vas requested

they heard little to repay their curiosity,

sOur In answering questions put to
him BY ATTY, Van Colt and a cross fire
,,aulsed In by Messrs. Burrows and
nuboIs But he said absolutely nothing
sensational and II his answers had any
weight either way, 1t was rather on the
edo Of the Church. The greatest period
ot prosperity in Utah, he testified were
ysars 50 and 80 and the past three
Years The first period he attributed TO
mo Efforts Of the Liberal party, the
last 10 general causes which have pre-
vailed throughout the country. Dur
hg these periods Salt Lake and Ogden
made wonderful strides in a material,
snrlal and educational ways. Attempts
we're made to prove by him that judges
have refused to issue warrants for
