and they are in dread ali the time M 'f, fo5,
Iear complaint will be filed against
them; hence they are at sea. 1t is pos
slblc that the conference. in the event
that 1t is not called off, may be changed
to Logan or Manti, and such change
would have precedent. In either Lo.
gan or Manti the hierarchy could he
better hidden from the dreaded officers
OF the law than they could be in Salt
Lake; hence the change may be ordered.
In justice to Andrew Jensen, The
Tribune prints the following:
Salt Lake City, Sept 2S, 1906.
Editor Tribune;-In an article headed |
May Not Hold the Big Conference,
which appeared in this mornings Trib
une, / am mentioned among other al
legged polygamists and accused of hav-
ing three wives, ''having married a
mother and her two daughters. Now,
L do not know what spite the writer of |
SAID article has against me, or why
he should single me out, aside from all
others, as being guilty of something
that at once would be unnatural and
disgraccful. Permit me to inform the
readers of The Tribune that l have not
married my mother-in.law. That she
lives In my house, is true; but it GER
taInlv would be something new-some-
thing hitherto unheard of in the af-
fairs of domestic lifc-that woman,
because she lives III the house of her
son-in-law with her own daugbter) can
Who ever heard of such reasonings be-
forei The Tribune has frequently
quoted from testimony given by wit
nesses before the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections in the Smoot
case. Why not quote my direct testi-
mony, before said committee, concern
ing my marital relations, rather than
TO manufacture libel1 Following is an
extract of my testimony as given be-
fore the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, March 9, 1904:

There is no longer any doubt that the
,hurch Republicans are full of regret
hat they discarded the American flag
Is their emblem and selected In its |
,lacc an eagle upon bee hive. This
lction was taken at the State conven- |
ion Of the church Republican party ]
ast week, and created much unfavor '
.ble comment. The selection of the J
lew emblem, which bound them still
loser TO the headquarters on BRIGHAM '
'lrect, however, mas oeeu icPuuidteu ny !
chairman Salisbury and his associates
If the State committee. The letter t
leads of that organization which have
,ccu printed since the adoption Of the Y
lew emblem, and since Mr. Salisbury IS
election as chairman, instead of bear y
ng the eagle and bee hive, the regu- a
arly adopted emblem Of the party, con
aims an American flag Ill its stead. i
This is another brand OF political i
piracy and one that any reputable party 5
would be ashamed of. The church Re i
publican party is therefore sailing under d
alse colors, -
