To the Chairman OF the Salt Lake
County Democratic Committee:
Dear Sir--0n Oct. 10 my name was
placed before the Democratic county
,nyeahon for nomination to the lower
house Of the Utah Legislature and /
received the endorsement and nominal
ton to that office Of more than a three
hurths vote Of the entire convention.
Since my nomination to that position
he organ Of the misnamed American"
,lrty has attacked my eligibility to cleo
ton, on the ground OF my being poly
gsmst, and has claimed that | have
been waited upon by nominees on that
tgkit and other Democrats, who have
requested me to withdraw my candi-
isty
have made It rule Of my life not to
isk counsel or advice from my oppon-
is or 70 follow their dictatlon, and
A'1 who know NE best viii give me
tTit for being one who does not read
y retire under fire.
most emphatically deny that | am
at0ring under any political disability.
laNepled the principle OF polygamy at
time when there was no recognized
w'sliutlonal law prohibiting the prac-
ne q the same In the then territory
N uAA, and after the law prohibit
llg nat practise was declared constitu-
Lonal BY the supreme court of the
tinted States, and prior 10 the admis-
Hon Of Utah into tho Union, | received,
WIN others complete amnesty from the
President OF the United States for any
violation Of a law which we had pre-
lousy regarded as being unconstitu-
uora. This amnesty fully restored to
" all political rights and privileges
saleh we might have previously for
hlteo Or jeopardlzed, And as a free
american born citizen I claim all the
hghts and privileges accorded to any
olher citizen OF our Union and I am at
me defiance Of any man to show that
nave Violated any law of my country
lhsl would deprive ME Of any of those
nsn's and II necessary. In order 10
MAINTAIN them, I am ready to fight to
The last ditch.
