ing the fight for preserving the rights OF tho
Mormon people; the Republican party is
in harmony Herewith and is outsDoken in
upholdng the rights Of "MormoEs' in com"
mon with those OF all other citizens. On the
other hand, so far as IL has been able the
Democratic party nationally, by its 81. Louis
convention platform, by the unanimous vote
OF its Senators the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections, and by the efforts
OF its leaders IN Congress TO disfranchisc tho
TO exclude 'Mormons from entering me
United States as immigrants, has declared

party and in harmony Herewith so far as IT
has ventured 10 express itself, has not dared

the face of these stubborn facts, which are
SO plain and positive that no sane man can
he blind thereto Can any Mormon who
heretofore has supported the Republican
ticket be cajoled threatened or beguiled into
voting the Democratic ticket, or any part
thereof, at this time, in view OF the hostile
attitude of the Democratic party toward the
Mormon peoplei
1t is an incon,rovcrtible fact, already
demonstrated well beyond the possibility of
doubt-no matter how much boasting sput-
tering, protesting and deception may be en-
gagged in 10 the contrary-,hat so lar as the
Mormon people are concerned. the Dem
ocratic party has abandoned whatever hlsh
principles ii once had, and has become the
party Of intolcrant, selfish, cruel, relentless
religious persecution, and is VIoalor oil the
National Constitution In so far as that great
charter OF human liberty guarantees freedom
TO worship God. TO all citizens. 'Mormons'
otherwise, and 10 exercise the iuii rights
OF citizenship now enjoyed. And, further:
The policy now being followed by the Dem
ocratic party towards the Mormon people
is a rank and inexcusablc betrayal Of every
trust roposcd in that party by auy Nor
mon who ever voted Democratic ticket.
By its treachery to the - Mormon voters
who have honorcd and trusted it so oft.
the Democratic party merits The enmity and
cxecration of every Mormon and of every
lover OF human liberty, political or relg'
ioUs.
Summed mp the facts show concusively
that the Republican party throughout the
whole Nation is united in defending the
rights OF the Mormon people as citizens.
ON the other hand they Also show that the
Democratic party throughout the whole Ma
,iou with. perhaps, the exception Of the Dem
ocrats in Utah, is antagonistic 10 and ar
raycd against tho Mormon people. In
fact there is no difference in that respect
between the so-called American" party
and the Democratic party. Even in Utah,
while the Democratic party has not declared
for the wholesale disiranchisemcnt Of the
Mormon people, IL has declared practical
ly for the dSfranchisemcnt Of a certain class
OF 'Normons.'
II cgn he shown conciusiVcly that not only
is the Republican party stronger IN this
State than The Democratic party. but IL is
also stronger in Salt Lake county, and con.
sequcntIy all good citizens, irrespective of
