party of Utah. are Mormons. il has been
constantly charged by the Republicans,
that the Democratic party of Utah is an
enemy of the Mormon people. The best
friend that the Mormon church has in the
state OF Utah is the Democratic party, be-
cause 1t believes in rendering unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars, and il be-
lieves that both the church and the state

respect of the people by scr1pulously ad-

tations laid down in the constitution of
the United States and the constitution of
the state of Utah. to the effect that
the church shall not interfere with the
functions of the state, and the state shall
not interfere with the functions OF the
church. The Democratic party of Utah

1T is not unusual for Republicans to
ask with a sneer: What have Democrats
ever done for the state of Utahg The
man who does not know what the Demo-
crates have done and what the Democrats
are doing for this great young state, is
either so blind that he cannot see, or
so deaf that he cannot hear or so ignor-

terprise of another Democrat, Jesse
Knight of Provo.
Down at Denver, when the good name
of the state needed defense, when the po
sition of the people of Utah required ex-
PLANTATION, il was the eloquent and logi-
cal reasoning of William II. King, an
other Democrat, that placed Utah in her
riehtful position Creating new markets
for your fruit and bringing better prices
to the consumer, is the reward of the eff
forts of still another Democrat, William
G. Roylance. Aiding in every work that
is calculated TO bring his home city 10 the
front and to inure TO the benefit of all
the people, Fred J. Kiesel of Ogden still

citizen of the state. Connecting two of
