Exclude the Emissaries.

parties on It's string IN Utah. Will send It's em1SSareS
to the Republican and Democratic National conven-
tions next year.
If justice shall be done, and in all probability
it WILL these emissaries will have seats in neither
of these conventions.
Leading Republicans of the country are being
aroused to the knowledge of the odum which their
party has invoked by its alliance with Smoot and
polygamists. The Democratic party has for some
time been painfully aware of the perhdy which has
been associated with polygamous politics.
The American citizens of Utah should at
tend the two National conventions. There the gen
uine Democrats should protest before their own
convention against the seating of emissares of the
Mormon church falsely calling themselves Demo
Gratis. And there the genuine Republicans should
demand that their party in its National convention,
repudiate the corrupt bargaining and cleanse itself
of the stigma of poygamous utilization.
A truthful and an effective showing of the stu
alton to the National parties assembled to pro-
mitigate principles and nominate candidates, will
result in the exclusion of the emssaries of the
Mormon church from both conventions and the
seating of Americans who truly represent the highest
ideals of their respective parties.
The Republican party of Utah, as now constituted,
is stealing the livery of the great National organi
cation to poygamy in. While some OF the
prominent of that party are high minded and
estimable gentlemen in all their personal relations
of life they are politically the creatures, willing
unwilling, of Shoots machine, which is operated
solely in the interests of the law-breakng false
prophets of the church. The leaven of Gentle
righteousness in the Republican dough of Utah is not
sufficient to leaven the whole lump Instead of lift
ing Republicansm in Utah to its proper plane these
Gentle Republicans are themselves politically de-
graded to the purpose of the poygamouS chiefs.
Inasmuch as the party in Utah is not organized or
conducted for the advancement OF Republican prlfl-
cip1es the Inauguration Of Republican policies or
the advancement of the peope-but is rather oper-
ated as means of protection of organized Grimm
atty operating in the false guise of church-there
is no excuse except ignorance cowardlce for Cen
tile utilization with that Republican party; and cer-
tainy there is no excuse of any kind for the recog
milton of the Smoot Republican party by the Ma
tiona1 convention.
The Democratic party of Utah has been thrice be-
trayed and then again thrice. The church ut1l1zes
the prominent Democrats in the maintenance OF
their party organization solely to give the appear
ance to the Nation of political division in the State
of Utah The church insists that the Democracy
shall not disband but that is because the church can
utilize the Democracy and the organization Tor the
evil church purpose. If the Democracy were the
dominant political party of the State and the church
had it's present purpose with regard to its present
afi1iation with the National Republican admlnstra-
ton the Mormon church would issue an edlct and
probably revelation from God commanding the
Democracy of the State to disband AS the State
Democracy of Utah is utilizabe solely for the Grim
ina purposes of the polygamous organization, AFRO
ganty calling itself church, and as the Democracy
of Utah has no actual for existence, from
the Democratic viewpoint, there is no reason why
the National convention should recognize the rep
resentatives of the so-called Democracy of Utah
