The Greatest Question.
Let us start out right in this CAM
paign. The national question: are
he greatest questions; they come as
, Ose to- you as those that arise at
tour footstool or at your community
IGOR. They affect you lust as much
n your homes as these local ques-
ions. The Mormon question is no
ssue at all. If it is an issue 1t is an
ss'ue for the criminal court to try.
md they have not dared to do 1t.
Rut these very great questions are
questions to be tried in the public
'orum and decided by the people al
he polls. We have started out to-
sether; let us, friends, carry these
y messages, and others that we have
sot time now to speak of, carry them
nut among the people write them on
he banners of the party. speak them
o your neighbor: invoke the princl-
lies at the hearthstone, among your
antilles and your neighbors: carry
his glad message from now unui
he 9Th of November brings US the
Inswer to these questions In the
- DOT box. thank you. (Great ap'
'Muse.)
