A careful reading OF The speech de-
livered by Brigham III. Roberts at Salt
| mir, at the Democratic powwow Thurs
! day, shows one thing that stands out
more prominent than all else, and that
is, that the church knew exactly what
he was going to say, His denunciation
of Smoot was part OF the play. This
was to hoodwink the rank and file. His
| declaration of no interference upon the
part Of the church in politics is simply
a repetition of former speeches. His
| Saltair speech, however, differs from
his declaration at the reconvened con-
vention in 1895, when he declared there
was church interference. He attempt
ed to hold out then, with Moses Thatch-
er, for personal political liberty. The
latter was unfrocked as an apostle for
his temerity in opposing the church
in politics, and Elder Roberts was given
his choice of either obeying the HE
rarchy or being read out of the
church. He chose the former and was
made a president of the seventies as
, a reward for mis- subservience and re-
ceived back into full fellowship. No
man in the church holding the position
that Elder Roberts does would dare
make the public utterance that he did
| at Saltair without an understanding
with the hierarchy-the band of TWEEN,
| ty~six.
/ The church is in politics; that is, the
| hierarchy, the band Of twenty-six. The
| Federal appointments made in Utah
show this, even if nothing else did.
| Look Mt the list:
spry, William, U. S. Marshal, Nor
callister, Ed (ourly), Mormon, U. S.
Collector Internal Revenue
Thomas, Arthur, Postmaster, Salt Lake,
Jack Mormon, tool of the HE
Booth, Hyrum E., U. s. Attorney,
Jack Mormon and all-around
fawner and cringer of the church
Anderson, James H. (Navajo jimmy,
Chief Deputy Collector Internal
Revenue, Mormon, and man who
poses as the especial friend of
President Roosevelt.
Smoot, Reed, Apostle of l.. D. s church,
representative Of the hierarchy,
indorser of polygamists, traitor to
his country by his own sworn tes-
timony; claims TO be mouthpiece
of Almighty God and the Presi-
dent of the United States, and boss
Of the alleged Republican party in
Howell, Joseph, Mormon, Representa-.
tive in Congress from Utah; spon-
sor for Bill Glasmann of Ogden;
abject tool of the hierarchy.
Sutherland, George, Apostate Gentle.
Junior representative of the band
OF twenty-six in the United States
Senate; cringer and crawler and
servile tool of the hierarchy.
Hull, Thomas, U. s. Surveyor: General,
Mormon. Speaker of the House in
the Legislature that elected Amos.
tie Smoot to the United States
Senate.
This list is absolute proof that the
hierarchy is in politics. The hand is
too plainly seen. Fussy Jimmy is the
main go-between with the officials and
the hierarchy He does the visiting TO
church headquarters. Others Law the
wires. He Is the catspaw that pulls out
the chestnuts
And now former Senator Rawlins is
suggested as the church Democratic
candidate for Judge Of the Supreme
court.
The Smootites thought they were
working smooth game in pushing
Deputy. Sheriff Joe Sharp for the Shor,
iff s office. But the expose made show
ing that c, Frank Emery, the present
incumbent, and who is serving his
fourth year as Sheriff, was really the
man that was wanted by the hierarchy.
has caused considerable talk in and
about the joint building. Sheriff Emery.

In some way or other, perhaps by
