for the average citizen: therefore, &C
cording TO the plotters, George Sheets
must be destroyed. But, as in the cas-,
of former plots OF this character, th'
conspirators over.reached themselves
they overdid the thing. There is not {
reasonable being in Salt Lake who car
read the evidence SO far adduced i
this case who does not reach the Ger
tain conviction that the appearance OF
the McWhirters and their real or pre-
tended loss of money Eere were but in
cideuts of Il big plot.
The MeWhirters have ten thousand
dollars in cash in Glasgow anil BY the
most direct route they pass straight on
to Salt Lake, promptly meet a strange
here, promptly go 10 strange rocming
| house, promptly let loose of the entire
| amount Of Ten thousand dollars in a
| confidence game, promptly get out of
town, and almost as promptly return to
try TO mix the Chief of Police in the
affair.
Iu September last the McWhirters
were so green that they were not Ct
to be trusted to walk block alone in
this village; and III October they are
so ripened in their shrewdness that,
according to the boast of one of the
organs of the conspiracy, the officers
thought they had to deal with two
very ignorant Scotchmen, and they
found instead two keen, alive young

Is it any wonder that public opinion
has veered around and that all think
ing persons in this community recog
nize the whole thing was a "plant'
from the beginning? Is 1t any wonder
that the majority of the reading public
in Salt Lake are laughing now-not at
the McWhirter lambs but at the Nc
Wbirter foxes, and at the wolf who is
behind the foges?
II these men had genuinely lost this
money in this community and had been
genuine victims of any fraudulent pro-
ceeding here, the whole population of
Salt Lake would have been interested
in seeing that justice should be lonc
to them. But as these 1.-TWO keen, alive
young men of education, according to
the boast of the organ which supports
their claim, are such brilliant and
shrewd business men, the better part of
the population Of Salt Lake do not be.

FORTY. SEVEN MORE.

The Smoot agency IN this city sus'
| peuds for the moment its attacks upon
Salt Lake to announce that the busi.
ness for this city during last week
exceeded by fortyseven per cent the
business of this city transacted in the
corresponding week Of last year.
The American party is in power in
Salt Lake City now, and the ecclesi-
asts controlled the city last year. Nat
urally business could not flourish to
the full merit of the community last
year when scores of people were max
ing ready TO leave the city unless the
American party should be victorious
at the polls, There is another reason
why business is good in Salt Lake
City now; because the majority of the
people believe that Salt Lake county
will pass under American control after
the coming election. And there is still
3notleI 3Qd nB5l TSo5On, IldD lnS
majority of Utah S citizens expect to
see the State of Utah in the American
column after the election in 1905.
Business men, do you want an in
crease Of fortyseven per cent in the
commercial transactions of the city or
do you desire decrease2 The in
crease came with the American party
domination. The lower figure was
reached under ecclesiastical control.
Take your choice.
Smootism, which uninteutionally
boasts the glorious results of American
party victory, would destroy all the
value which comes TO you from Ameri-
can control; aud would, il possible,
send the community back to the day
of forty-seven per cent less"

"oUR PEOPLE"

The men who have held for years in
Utah that no such thing rs genuine poll
tics existed here, in the National sense,
are receiving mighty vindication in
this campaign
Here is A. Milton NIusser, pro-
tessed Republican, who writes a letter
Of TWO columns in length, and IN every
aspect of his presentations he appears
rot as Republican, but as a Mormon.
He offers advice. tinctured by ecclesias"
tical command, in wholesale quantities
to Mormon voters, and always and al
ways it is to the Mormon to vote for
the Mormon interest.
In this Mr.. Musser but follows The
lead of the Deseret News, which de
plored editorially that Mormons had not
possessed Sufficient sense TO act together
as Mormons and prevent Salt Lake City
from being carried by the American
party at the last November election.
And the Democrats. who are in cor.
slant receipt of promises from church
headquarters which are never fulfilled,
are not one whit behind the News and
Mr.. Musser. Judge William H. King,
often preacher IL the Tabernacle and
a firm sdherent of the faith-oue of the
trusted leaders OF Democracy aud
twice representative in Congress from
Utah-in a flaming speech in the Sixth
ward meeting house the other night,
before an audience almost entirely com
posed Of Mormons. warned Mormons
against injuring Mormon interests by
pursuing certain political course; for,
as the Judge predicted, "within ten
years it Is quite probable that the nou-
Mormons will outnumber the Nor
mons.
It is ''our people and ''our peo.
pie s" present and future interests, as
our people" Such thing as
genuine political contest between Re
pubhcaps and Democrats in Utah upon
the National issues involved, or upon
the quality of administration in State
aud county affairs, is entirely unknown
The Republican Mormon wants the
Democratic Mormon 10 vote the Repub-
mean tlcketN 20 satisfy our friends
in power in Washington; and the Demo
cratic Mormon wants the Republican
Mormon to vote the Democratic ticket
because ''our Democratic friends" will
some time be in power III Washington.
And even the Gentle sdherent with
in either of the two church political
quorums is tainted by the same thing.
He worries from the time when politi.
cal agitation begins, long before the
convention, until the close of election
day, whether it is going to be for Nor
mon interests for Mormons TO vote for
him, or whether it Is going TO be for
Mormon interests for Mormous TO vote
against him. We'll does the Geutile
know that upon this question alone de-
pends his election or defeat, either il
convention or st the polls.

THE FINAL STRAW.

There is just ono more thing tho; would
convince the editor oi this publication thn,
church influence is what it Is roputed 10 be
and is beins exercised occasionally in This
neck Of 5he woods--tho defeat oil William
Branghom. Republican candidate for Justice
OF 'he Peace.
The foregoing is from the Logan
(Utah] Republican. 1t shows that the
camel S back is near. to breaking
just one more straw.
There is daring about the article
which is quite surprising under exist
ing circumstances in this State: and
yet there is popularity of unreason-
ing also not quite so complimentary TO
the editor os the courage which he
shows In making his declaration. Evi.
IDENTIFY many reasons have already ap.
peared TO that Logan editorial mind
TO induce the conviction that "church
influence is what it is reputed to be. -
Otherwise he. would not phrase his sen.

denotes, but does not derounce the
Musser letter. Why' Simply because
he knows that everybody else knows
that Elder A. Milton Musser in writing
that letter in fact conveyed to the
faithful the word OF the prophet, seer
| aud revelator, that without regard tc
party politics they were this year IL
vote the Smoot ticket.
When Judge Powers cot mp before
the Sixteenth ward and undertook to
| talk about what the church would do
| and would not do he must have seemed
to those hardened old veterans a good
deal as school boy would seem to au
eyrert farmer if the boy undertook to
tell the farmer how to conduct his busi'
ness. These old chaps know very we'll
far better than Judge Powers can tell
them, what Musser S letter means; what
Smootism means. They knew that he
had them there and could hold them
there and tell them what he thought
about these things, but they also knew
that all his talk had no practical bear,
ing, and that they intended to obey
the church instructions at the polls. His
talk TO them was talk to idle cars. 1t
made no Impression; 1T could not pos
slbly make any impression on men who
had made up their minds merely to
do one thing, that they intended TO do
what the church told them to do as set
forth in the Musser letter
1t is idle TO disguise and beat about
the bush in this matter in Utah Judge
Powers understands this Just as we'll
as any one else understands IL. He
knows what Smootism means; he told
III his speech what it meant by way Of
obloquy, distress and misery to the
people of Utah, and yet he knew that
Smootism is triumphant, and that at
present at least there are enough con-
trolled votes in the Mormon church to
sway things precisely as Smootism de-
sires them TO be swayed, so far as the
State at large is concerned. The only
bright spot IN all the gloom is this
assured nucleus of American triumph
IN salt Lake City, and the bright hops
of the dawn Of better day held out
by the brilliant promise Of sweeping
American triumph in this county on
the 9th day Of November next.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-10-23

tence TO indicate that only one thing
more was necessary. But what a
8imsy thing it is that is requisite to
completely convince that Logan edl-
torial mind If candidate for the
Office of Justice of the Peace shall be
defeated in Logan then Mormon church
influence is Just what it is reputed 30
be; and, inferentially, if that candi'
date for Justice of the Peace shall he
elected, then Mormon church influence
is not what it. is reputed to be, and
all the great reasons which have gone
before vanish into thin air.
The Republican has on other occa.
5ions spoken somewhat strongly cop-
cerning the Smoot machine, Evidently
its coura ageous editor has observed
events and their tendencies. If be is
now ready TO be convinced of the COM
plete case against Smootism as an
ecclesiastical operation IN Utah he is
doing for himself great injustice 80
await the trivial event of the election
or non-election OF his favorite candi-
date for the Justice of the Peace.
This will not have been the only cleo
tion III Utah. Nor viii that have been
the only Office The Mormon church
is not likely 10 exert itself particu-
larly for or against any candidate for
Justice of the Peace in Logan. Its
work is larger. II controls the big
things and the little things go with
the big control.
