Evidently the mayor has never heard
of Salt Lake City or the Tribune.
The Laborites it seems won't be
bluffed, but have fully determined to
put ticket in the field and have
issued the official call for a mass
convention to nominate candidates.
The convention is to be held on Sun
day in Federation hall, Fourth South
and State streets:
Let us see Suppose the Mormons
in the state were to line up in the way
the Kearns party has done, only on
the other side, wouldn't we Gentiles
howl at such intolerance and oppres-
sion? Yet every Gentle who supports
the Kearns ticket is forcing the Nor
mons in to that position as a matter of
self-defense We should not forget
that there may be limit even to Nor.
mon patience.
Tom Kearns is making Roadway In
his effort to control absolutely the
state of Utah. He has kept out thous
unds of Gentle citizens, so that his
cohorts would have better swing, and
he is now trying to drive out of the
state every person who will not wear
his yoke.
If any man doubts the saying that
capital is a coward" let him note
how Salt Lake merchants bow the
head and bend the knee when Tom
Kearns cracks his whip.
~ y
imposed on the state of Utah? The
presence of Tom Kearns and his syn
dictate of lying newspapers.
After all it's roaring about church
influence in politics, the Kearns party
has named high church official as its
standard bearer in the congressiona
campaign. But this high church Off
cial is Presbyterian, which church
used to burn heretics-an offense al
least as great as the polygamy which
! the Mormon church once practiced.
~ -
Some people imagined that Wne1
Joe Raleigh was ''jobbed" in his rae
for sheriff on the Kearns ticket, HI
would bolt the party and join SOM
other. Never fear; Joe has run thu
gamut of the parties, and there is nor,
baser than the Kearns outfit will
which to align himself.
~ ~
The democrats in Idaho are lined VI
to disfranchise the Mormon people Of
test of religious belief; the democrat
ic senators on the committee on priv
ileges and elections lined up solid,
the same way. under the leadership o
Fred Z. Dubois. Only a simpletol
OF n Mo,lnon will be fou - lining u,
in Utah with party that nationall,
and in neighborirg state can engag
in such a procedure. But we Gentle
know there are lot of Mormon sim
nletons: otherwise they would stan
up for their rights as citizens, to tn
fighting point, II need be.
