Those Resolutions.
Speaking OF the resolutions before
| the recent conventions of the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, Judge
Weber told of the ten or twelve strong
minded men in the convention of the
former who were Independent enough
| to stand for the fight against the
church. With withering sarcasm, tho
speaker told of the ridiculous manner
In which the Democrats, in order TO
court political favor, offered n resolu-
tion in which the election of an apos-
tie TO the United States Senate was
deemed ''imprudent and unwise. -
1mprudent and unwise,' repeated the
speaker, amid a burst of laughter.

.'Joseph Smith is not the people, +"

| the hierarchy rule the people of Utah.

Look Over the Books.
''Now is the time to look over the
books Of your county commissioners, to
inquire into the questionable methods,
TO take away from them that power
which they have prostituted TO their
own gain and TO the gain of the church.
/ We voted the Democratic ticket all
my life, but never again Will 1 vote
under these conditions.
Look into the methods OF Dog

not a party OF hate-it asks nothing
which it will not itself concede.'
The accusations brought by Weber
against the County Commissioners i'm.
pressed his audience greatly, and did
more, perhaps, TO apprise it of the
present putrid conditions in local poll
tics than anything else he said. County
| Chairman Darmer then addressed the
assemblage and added force to the fiery
remarks of Mr.. Weber.
Senator Frank J. Cannon, arising To
speak, was warmly applauded.
Senator Cannon devoted his address
TO a reiteration of the challenge which
he made at Park City on Wednesday
night: "Tbere has not been governor
of Utah since statehood he said
who has been servant OF the people
There has never been Representative
in Congress from Utah, since statehood
who has been the representative of the
people; there has never been a Senator
of the United States elected from Utah
who has not been elected OF Influenced
by the Mormon church or whom the
church has not attempted to influence.
Senator Cannon recited the condition;
which preceded the admission of Utal
and the promises Of recession from
polygamy, political interference and
mon church, and declared that the cove
nants thereby established had beer
ruthlessly broken, rs proven by tht
testimony OF Joseph F. Smith before
the Senate committee on privileges anC
elections. The American party is al
organized protest against such grave
injustice against the State Of Utah.
Senator Cannon said that the prede
cessors of tho present hierarchs wer'
threaten Utah the church would no
make an open fight against the govern
ment. But they didn't know how sool
Joseph F. Smith would come into hi
power, and they didn't know how sool
he would make his son his own sue
cessor.
''This old trick of monogamistic gov
ernment of the church is so hoary,
said Mr.. Cannon, "that it is only won
derful that they will make use of j
now. Why, I can give you the date o
its first application in Utah.
The speaker returned to his challeng
and devoted himself TO evidence il
/, support of his position, even offering t
discuss the. question IN any auditorium
!, in Utah with any man who feels abl
TO dlsprove his assertion
Rotten Rule of Church.
