There is subject, much discussed, that
should be fairly and capdidly met and that
is church influence in politics. This has al
ways existed in all nations and with all
peoples. and; perhaps, growing less in degree.
Il always will exist. But as people increase
In Intelligence and true patriotism. this
power loses its strength and is more aud
moro confined TO its legitimate sphere. This
influence is not confined TO any particular
church nor to any particular State or locality
1t is as much TO be condemned, In one church
or locality as In another. but see no reason
why rule should be applied IN this matter
In Utah different from that in any other
State or locality, Why should not all be
measured by the Sano standard
Church and State.
For many years after the pioneers came
into the valley the people were all of one
religious faith Strong, assr. S.ve men, With
powers OF leadership naturally rose 10 power
IN the church: and the same qualities made
tnem prominent IN affairs of state. There
was conminsling OF church and state, The
condition would have been the same had
these people been all Catholics, Presbyterians
or MethodisIs. Instead OF LetIer;,day Saints.
For the the last thirty yesrs the condition,
years the change for the better has been
lltt!e short OF marvellous. It Is difficult 10
find It's counterpart in history The trans
formation OF Japan in the nearest parallel,
and the situation is improving steadily, year
by year.
The people OF Utah ere freer today FROM
ecclesiastical domination than eyer before |
am quite sure that in the coming election
we viii have q fair. free ballot and an
honest count.
There is grave responsibility resting on
this convention. As lt does It's work we'll OF |
badly, SO Will the Republican party, win sue
cess or meet defeat In the coming election.
Let US lay aside all selfish personal consid-
erations and select as candidates for the |
various Offices, honest, capable, strong men
men who have the confidence and respect
Of the community and next November VIII |
record another victory for tho party OF Lip"
