strongest possible terms several state
ments appearing in the Salt Lake Inter
Mountain Republican. Henry c. Lund.
son Of President Anthem H Lund Of the
first presidency OF the Mormon church,
at meeting in the opera house last
evening declared that the paper was not
fit 10 go into the home of any Latter
day Saint
without miacing words Mr.. Lund de-
clared that the article appearing in a box
on the first page of the Inter Mountain
and wiiful falsehood. Councilman f. s.
Eernstrom, who followed him. declared
the publication was an internal lie"
Mr.. Lund made this statement in con-
Guiding an address on Democracy to the
citizens of Grantsville. He led up to this
statement by saying that Jesse William
Knight accepted the nomination for GOV
erncr only with the understanding that
the Democratic party of the state would
conduct its campaign free from all Will
Tying and SANDER.
MIR. Knight" declared Mr.. I.und. "said
that he would prefer to be defeated with
the knowledge that he had fought a
clean fight, than TO be elected by meth
DDS which he would consider dishonest
| would that that were the attitude of
our opponents. Then, indeed, we would
have clean politics.
Denounees the SANDER.
This subject is painful to me. as
know il must be to you I would give
all that l have could we end this strife
my duty TO my party and to my state
did not. as member of the executive
committee of the Democratic party of
Utah, denounce the vilest sort of SLAM
der that has been circulated concerning
myself and my colleagues in my party
have in my hand a copy of the In
ter-Mountain Republican for Oct 13 Do
you see what they have in this big box
on the first page with a red head? Let
me read 1t TO you:
They Made an Infamous Trade
Leaders Of the Kearns and Democratic
parties got together. and made a trade
me terms OF the plan is for ali Demo
Gratis 70 vote the American" party coun-
~ ticket, and all the American" party
people TO vote for the Democratic state
Ticket That is the trade. Bryan cleo
Tors VIII be found on the american
party ticket and both Democrats and
kearnsites will try 10 carry Utah for
Bryan, as candidate for president of the
United States. This trade has been an
nounced TO certain Democrats. and they
have expressed an unwillingness to be
ieve 50 Infamous a compact has been
made by their leaders. BUT IT HAS
BEEN MADE.
"A Dirty, Malicious Lie"
Think of such a charge being made
by anyone against anyone in Utah
continued MI Lund. The statement is
falsehOOd when he wrote The man who
wrote IL knew that he was writing a
falsehood when he wrote The men who
wrote that charge in the Inter-Moun-
Saint He is an apostate Democrat from
Indiana.
Let as see who those men are whom
ne accuses of such treason. The charges
specify the leaders of the party" We
must include in the leaders OF Democracy
OF Utah our candidate for governor Jes-
sc William Knight. Do you think he I
would be guilty of such treachery? You
know that he IS a good Latter-day Saint
a member of the presidency of the Utah
stake. a man who has served his people
faithfully In whatever position he has
been placed by them. In the mission field
abroad and In the work at home. Won't /
you resent any accusation against his
HE people?
Perhaps he charges the executive com
mlttee OF the party with this act. II /
Tor governor and against the members
OF the executive committee that this
charge Is made. They are the active lead
e. of the party. They have charge of I
the campaign, and if such a deal were
made X must have been made with their
cogniZance and consent The executive
committee Is comprised of Thomas H. |
Fitzgerald and w. II. Dale of Salt Lake
Doth OF whom are non-MoTmons: Bishop .
Thomas n Taylor of Provo. whom YOU .
all must know 10 be a straightforward
God-fearing, loyal Latter-day Saint: Ho-
race Peery of Ogden. also a Latter-day
Saint and myself
Reply as Did Thurman.
In so far as this charge is directed /
against me personally, l will reply as
did Samuel r. Thurman TO Governor
West at Provo l remember that rally
of the old Liberal party at which Cow
ernor West was the principal speaker
He accused the Mormon people of being
traitors to their country. criminals of the
lowest type. and he could not find words
mean enough with which to revile our
people. And on that same platform, at
that same meeting, Governor West boast
ed of the fact that he had followed the
Samuel r. Thurman, against whom most
OF VESTS TRADE was directed, was the
principal speaker at rally of the Peo-
pies party, and Mr.. Thurman said:
I viii not permit a man who has
riddled with bullets the Stars and Stripes
TO question my loyalty TO my country
To the man who wrote that article
will say that l VIII not permit a man
not member of my church TO question
the way in which live my religion.
Il think I have shown you that the
story is false In It's entirety. You will
believe me. will you not. when | tell YOU
that what falls from the slanderous pen
paper has borne false witness and we
cannot tolerate IL. The Inter-Mountain
is not decent enough to be
found IN the home OF Latter-day
Saint"
Fernstrom Follows Suit.
Mr.. Lunds statement was well re-
ceiveC and the entire audience appar-
entity, agreed with him.
He followed by Mr. Fernstrom
who declared that the paper not only
lies with every issue, but that il was
guilty of a coarser deal than the very
deal il Charged the Democrats with maxi
ing. He declared that the Inter-Moun-
tain Republican had formed an alliance
with the breweries and that i'm consid-
Grafton of the support of the breweries
the paper had ceased TO preach temper
ance and the Republican platform was
silent on the subject.
The meeting which the speakers I'D
dressed was 10 have been addressed Dy
F. 8 MOnnett. former attorney general
81 Ohio. who was passing through the
county OF a campaign tour. He found.
however, that he could not keep the
Grantsville engagement and make con-
nections TO get to Colorado Springs for
a speech tomorrow night He sent to the
people OF Grantsville this message:
Greetings to the people IF GrantsVile
/ am sorry / cannot meet with You. but
my Colorado Springs engagement makes
il impossible Ohio. Montana. Colorado
Nebraska and Nevada are now sure for
Bryan. We viii win.
