Committee.
The reading of the report was several
times interrupted by applause, and at
the conclusion of its reading its adop-
ton was moved by H. J. Dininny. BY
suggestion OF A. c. Reese a standing
vote was taken. and the report was de-
clared by unanimous vote without ask
ing for the negative. which would have
been inconsequential in any case.
T a Crifc1,Iour SnAeIzs
E. B. Critehlow won instant applause
by a criticism of the Deseret News and
what he termed it's apostolic editor"
His sallies along this line were greatly
enjoyed and were applauded heartily.
The News, he said. referred to the
meeting as a roaring farce. IF this
is a farce he demanded, what will
the end be-"
Editor Penrose of the News was COM
pared to Victor Hugos Man Who
Laughs"-the unfortunate who was
compelled to grin no matter what mis-
fortune befell him.
People" said the speaker, have
been hoping and praying for this con-
certed effort TO free the voters, to dis
enslave them. The movement began
long ago in the hearts of the people,
the movement to redeem the state, and
il will go on now regardless of where
this apostolic editor, this grinning
byena. may stand"
Great applause compelled Mr.. Critch-
low to wait before he could proceed. He
then referred 70 what he termed the
'pitiful history" of the past ten years;
of the uplift that was given the people
when they felt that they had been
emancipated; how the church would no
longer dictate to them in political af-
dom and that there would be no more
bitterness.
How Faith Was Kept
Good faith has been kept on our
side" said Mr.. Critchlow. enid repeat
ed applause. 1--WE have kept our prom
Use. There has been no lack of fair
dealing on our part. This movement
is not of our making. 1t has been grow
ing for years. Have the pledges been
/ kept on the other side? Has there been
freedom from church domination?
IF I could find him in one of his
many homes I would summon Brigham
II. Roberts here and let him tell IL
there has been domination of church in
politics. 1 tell you. my friends, we all
fell down and failed to do our duty
when We did not denOunce with the
Democrats church Interference in their
reconvened convention. But where is
Brigham II. Roberts now? He is back
I in harmony with his quorum. Gap
plause.)
''If / could I would summon Moses
Thatcher here and let him tell how he
was driven broken hearted into polit-
ical exile because he failed to bow the
knee to the hierarchy.
Il would If / could summon George
Sutherland and let him tell how ne
sent the warning from Washington
that the election OF Reed Smoot TO the
senate would be resented by the Amer
lean people"
This shot at the expense of Suther-
! land was enjoyed and called out ap-
plause. There has been no real pol
itics i'm Utah." Mr. Critchlow contin-
ued: there has been no body of men
IN the state willing to denounce church
I domination in politics. At the begin
ming there were but three men who
signed protest against the seating OF
Roberts in congress. And yet that lit
| tie shot was heard around the world
and Roberts came back 10 live among
us.
Warning Was Ignored.
''No heed was paid 70 the warning
from Washington against the election
of Reed Snloot to the senate. But few
dared to resent It. There were sneers,
cringings and fears lest some one be
hurt. And on the heels of this came
the testimony of the head Of the
church before the senate committee
that the Mormon leaders were living
i'm polygamy because the people Of
Utah were so liberal minded that they
did not resent II. I tell you learned
one thing In the east. That was that
there are 10000 600 people IN this ma
ton and that of these 70 800 900 of them
Go not endorse this thing in Utah.
Coming back TO tie News Mr.. Critch-
low spoke of the motto of the paper
Truth and Liberty" The liberty it
teaches" he said, 'is like the men on
a battleship said they had. We do os
we blankety blank please they told a
lady visitor. until some one tells us to
do something and then We do it
blankety blank quick"
When Others Will Come.
Mr. Critchlow said this was not a
movement, it was a growth. Some
thought it was too early and some TOO
late He said lie was not particular
as TO the time so long as it was going
