THE YOUNG MORMON VOTE.

ried as to the way the young IN ormon
vote is thought to be going in the ap
preaching election. In a preliminar.
way. we may express the safe opinion
that it is going in just the way eaci
individual voter believes to be right
just as the vote Of any other free ant
Intelligent citizen goes.
An appeal is made by the so-callef
American party to that young Nor
mon vote to come It's way. A specia
effort to this end was made In al
address signed by Judge Street, thu
sAmerican'' party candidate for Coy
ernor Judge Street is a member Of the
bar, supposed to be learned in law and
logic; and he and his party appeal to
young tMormons" to desert their pres
ent national party affiliations in this
State. and vote for that party organ
dzatlon whose chief effort is to bring
Il injury to the Mormon" people Under
the plain rules OF logic, this candidate
and party who ask anyone to set aside
party allegiance and vote for them,
cannot complain IL anyone, temporarily.
sets aside such party allegiance and
vote against them Free voters have
the right to leave party and 20 either
way. Tho fact that the american
party leaders advise u Mormon" to
desert party and como their way, then
condemn him for doing the same thing
and going the other way. only shows
tho arrant hypocrisy Of those 'Ameri-
can" party leaders, and does not de-.
ceive any thinking person.
vY,,.J., /
vicious persecutlve party in the field,
it's not only justitiable but highly com
lmendable in citizens (no matter what
church they belong to, or if they are
1lon-curch ,members) rising above party
preference, and getting together to de-
feat the purposes of the partysof perse-
cution-.the so-called American" party.
\ This ~ free country, and there are
some things in honorable American
& citizenship TINT rise above subscrviency
IF to any political party.
8 In view OF actual conditions, II is a
piece Of insulting impudence in tho
party or any OF its candi-
dates, to ask Mormon or any other
decent citizen understanding the situa-
ton. to vote for that party's candi-
4 dates and policy, or to give any aid
1 thereto, That policy was outlined
{clearly in the speech OF the chairman
@of the late American party state con
Yention, when he declared at that con-
yention. with reference to the general
authorities of the Church:
The ,IIe twenty-six should DO in the pen
s ttenttary of Utah. - I know what
+ NOt1r rflniCa will ha ~ Gall al,
ty8and In this judicial distlIct--and the
tWenty-six are afraid that they know
Ihey know us well as we do that IL
YOU carry this county, elect tho judicial
ticket and the district attorney, that
either they will 30 through the doors
Of the pinitentiary or through the gates
e of this country into some foreign land
As Mexico Is the land of the
ireasers. we prefer they should go
+ there. We are In the fight, ana
there Is no time to talk mercy now
There was really nothing new IN
that declaration; 1t was put in !, little
more definite terms than previous do
clarations, but weeks before then, the
American" party organ tho Tribune,
ilad declared that If Its party won In
this election there would be IAN emil
grafton from Utah" This latter declare
tion meant the same thing as the other:
