No Socialist Party Tactics.


Complete and authoritative reports of
the Socialist national convention at
Chicago as published by the Chicago
Daily Socialist reveal the fact that the
Socialist party has made a radical de-
parture in its attitude toward several
important issues Of the day. Resolu-
tons were adopted to the following ef-
feet: %
Against the excessive s Of alco-
holic liquors and recognizing the evils
arising from the sale of them, but not
in favor Of trying to cure these 'by an
extension Of police powers under the
capitalistic SYSTEM" rather by stop
ping undertaking and overwork.

fact that Frank Y Taylor has marrI d

of the Woodruff manifesto, Some OF
the members of his ward. not - Ntry
long ago. were so disGusted with has
criminal behavior in this respect that
they made loud protcstation against

alarmed and met number of his honest

church felt aggrievcd at his action, Eo
suggested, il was for that brother ~
make known tho sorrow Of his heart.
and Taylor. the secure and defiant Grim
inal. would make such amends - that
brother rs would lie within his power.
The Doctrine and Covenants WAS pro,
duced and any member or elder present
was then asked TO prefer his charge.
So Frank y. Taylor, criminal, overawed
his honest brethren with ,hc word
OF the Lord Therefore was he ma lie
safe from discipline within the church.
Now, Elder Frank y. Taylor, crlm-
iual, seeks TO protect himself from tho
law OF the State by advising the saints
To support men for political Office who
will surround him with safeguards
against prosecution under the statutes

from Ogden that the church leaders

whose sketches in The Tribune have
been a feature for several months past,
AS we are informed, has been explicitly
warned by the church agencies there
that she must not appear at the polls
to vote. Doubtless il Mrs. Majors is
thus threatened others have also re-
eeived similar attempts Mt intimidati
Il is not in the least likely that these
warnings will be effective. Ii is not in

Ogden would allow Mrs. Majors 10 be
prevented from casting her vote by
these miserable, hulldozing tactics OF
the church political managers,
A branch of the American party has
been organized in Ogden, and undoubt-
edlv it's members will see TO it that Mrs.
Majors will cast her vote without mo.

Majors would cast her vote in spite of
all the church threatenings that might
be brought against her. But in order

that every voter is duly protected in
his or her rights as guaranteed by law.
Mrs. Majors has shown dcterminn'

the highest praise from every free and
loyal citizen. We trust that there Will
be no tax upon her womanhood in her
determination to cast her vote on Tues
day next. But if there should be any

THE AMERICAN SPEAKERS.

The American speakers in the cam,
paign that is now practically closed,
have done splendid work. They have
held meetings throughout this city and
in various settlements of this county.
and in Park City, that have been eve.
openers TO tho opposition. The Ameri-
can meetings arc all largely attended,
enthusiastic, and the position Of the
American party is made clear in every
one OF them. There has been no Amer
ican speaker who has not disclaimed,
and properly disclaimed, all intent
other on his own behalf and on behalf
Of bis party, to attack the Mormons or
the Mormon church. The warfare Is
directed against those faithless Mormon
leaders who. disrcgarding their own
pledges of honor, their agreements with
the Nation and with their own people,
have usurped political functions, inter
fcgcd iu the political arena, have under
taken to control the votes Of the mem
bcrship Of the church. and have in
every way bclied their own prctcnsions
and professions. and especially have be-
lied The constant refrain "the church
is not in politics" The church leaders
have an the lime dragged the church
into politics, and this year they have
dragged the church into politics deeper
than ever.
The American speakers, while cutorc.
ing upon their audiences the principles
of liberty, of tolerance, Of Justice, and
OF riGhtful party allegiance and clean
politics, have shown a liberation Of diff
fcrcnces Of opinion and an absence of
any hint Of spirit Of intolerance. that
has been in every way admirable.
The true principle OF Americanism is
that every voter must bc left free 10
exercise his or her high privileges of
American citizenship without interfer.

without interference by any priest.

MORE NEWS" FALSEHOODS.

The Descret News last night had
box on the first page under big head,
"Vote Against immortality. One
would naturally have supposed that this
was counsel to vote against the polyg
amous, adulterous, law.defying priest
hood But as usual the News takes
everything in reverse. This is charac-
teristic of the Deseret News, and was,
in fact, what was to have been expected
from it.
The News says, cit is very signifi.
cant that the paper that thunders
against lawlessness never has a word
of condemnation for the promoters of
the red.light district Which, OF
course, is plain, unvarnished lie. The
Tribune has condemned the red-ligbt
district and its promoters, and has never
ceased TO call upon the State officials
whose duty it was 10 vacate the State
corporation of that district 20 proceed
and do their duty. This they have
refused to do, though the American
club demanded it and though The Trib.
une has never ceased 10 inlportunc those
officers TO perform their rightful func-
tions in this regard. And The Tribune
has condemned, and now condemns. that
district in unmeasured terms No Off
cial should countenance it or fail TO
obliterato it, who has jurisdiction TO do
go.
The News proceeds TO read homily
to the people OF this city on "their
duty with respect to the proposition
which 1t thus falsely sets forth. Inas
much. however, as its propositions are
lies and its deductions are altoge ether
false, the people of this city will form
their own conclusions, and will cast
their free, independent votes for the
American ticket
Another vicious lie of the Deseret
News is wherein it says, ''The Trib-
! une IS aim is to disfranchise every mem
Der of the church. - That is a very
needless aud impudent falsehood; and
even If one could by any means be sur
prised at any unLruth the News could
utter, he certainly would be astonished
at this: There is not the slightest
foundation for such an assertion, and
the statement merely comes from the
distorted imagination of the News.
which is so fertile in malignant false.
| hoods.
The News, further, last night, spoke
of bogus Taft ticket and bogus BRYAN
ticket prepared by the Americans "in
the hope that some voters might be
deceived. Which is n characteristic
News lie also. Nobody expected or
wanted to deceive anybody. There is
no Taft ticket at all'e1cept the straight
Republican ticket, aud this is not in
the least n bogus ticket. We will saw
that for it. that is it not bogus tick

THE GENTLE THAT TOLD.

New light is thrown upon the lurid
SOL Kimball story by Mr. John e. Wis.
comb, Of this city. II appears that the
dead Geutilc vino is alleged to have told
this story to Sol Kimball was Mr..
James D. Adams, brother.in-law of
Postmaster Thomas. Mr., Wiscomb has
the information that that is fact,
from a close friend OF Mr.. Kimball. TO
whom Kimball told it. And what Mr..
Wiscomb asks Of Mr.. KjmbalI, in case
he should have the temerity to deny
what he said, is TO go with him to that
friend, who will compel him TO acknowl.

TAFT. AND HOW TO VOTE.

Every estimate that has any appear
auce of candor or pausibility that
comes from the East shows the olcc-
tion of Mr.. Taft To the Presidency by
a large majority. Or course there IS
2 possibility of landslide, as claimed
by Mr.. Bryan's supporters, that VIII
land him in the Presidential chair, but
this is SO improbable from all indica'
tions that it would be more of a freak
result than anything lcgitimately TO be
expected. We judge, therefore, speak
ing from the National standpoint, that
the election of Mr., Taft is practically
sure. and that Mr.. Bryan has TO face
another defeat 1t is not worth while
at the present time 10 entcr into any
discussion of the reasons for this. The
fact is evident and seems TO be agreed
TO in all impartial and well.informed
circles
In Utah also it is by ali practically
assured that Mr., Taft will carry tho
State, but by much decreased ma
iority as compared with that of Mr.,
Roosevelt four years ago. The church
influence is so potent n factor, and is
so undoubtedly exercised in favor OF
Mr. Taft as to leave no reasonable
doubt of his obtaining substantial ma
,iority in this State.
Mr.. Taft 5 election, therefore, being
assured, the anxiety of American Re.
publicans here in his behalf as shown
BY their strenuous effort in getting
five hundred sworn signatures to place
his electors on their local ticket, and
by their contest in the court against
the withdrawal of those electors from
that ticket, is now seen TO have been
needless Mr. Taft is in no danger, his
election is practically certain, and the
American Republicans here are absolvcd
by the facts as stated from the need
of any snNiety with respect to Mr..
Taft 5 election. They arc also boy
cotted and warned off by the Smoot
push in this State, which has practi.
cally declared TO them that none Of
their votes are wanted for Taft Mr..
Smoot s personal organ has explicitly
announced to them that q vote for Taft
is a vote 20 kill the American party.
Therefore, so far as he has been able.
be has deprived Mr.. Taft of the great
American Republican vote in this State.
