church IS now going to slaughter the
Democratic party. There are signs OF
such a slaughter, TO be sure, but there
are also signs that the Democratic party
is resisting the church purpose in this.
And the Democratic party can certainly
not be blamed for failing to see the

self because of false issue raised
against the American party. The Dem
ocrats very naturally say that there is
no reason why they should be punished
by the church because OF an apimus,
actual or fictitious, against the Ameri-
can party any more than that the Re
publican party should he so punished.
And the candid, impartial observer must
certainly see that the Democratic posi-
ton IN this is both reasonable and
sound. The HMouth 's'' proud admis-
sion, however, that the church is in this
political fight hardly squares with the
constant iteration that the ''churcb is

SOME MORE FALSE MoUTHINGS.

The Smoot ''Moutl' threatens the
people of The West side with the per-
mauent establishment there of the red
light district under the authority Of the
State, if the American party wins the
election next Tuesday. There is no
doubt Of the evil intention OF the Smoot
crowd in this respect. They would up-
doubtedly undertake 10 fasten upon the
West side OF the city that red.light dis
trict which they have incorporated and
refused to take any steps 10 invalidate.
But the American party will know how
to make its war against that red"ligbt
district when it gets control of the
county and of the district court, as it
now has of the city.
The Smoot Mouth says: cit is
the boast Of the kearps crowd that they
last year voted thousand persons il
legally When aud where have the
Kcarns crowd made this boast' The
Mouth means the American party)

tions and has always at all times vim.
dicated its position on this question.
The opposition have frequently under
taken To claim false registration aud
false voting by members of the Ameri-
can party. But in no case have they
been able To establish even one instance
OF illegal voting. The statement here
quoted from the Smoot Mouth is.
therefore, an absolute and unqualified
falsehood, without the slightest basis of
fact TO rest upon.
The Smoot "Mouth' denies that IL
has undertaken to bar out American
Republican votes from Taft. And yet
in its Saturday issue it said that "tbere
Is only one way 10 vote for Taft and
one way TO help TO kill the party organ
purpose Of persecution. And il went
on to say that this ''orly one way'' is
10 vote for Taft and the Smoot ticket
eutirc. Which is a complete refutation
of its present claim OF desire 10 have
American Republican votes for Taft;
direct antagonism 10 the American
party, and makes the purpose of the
Taft vote TO kill tie American party.
And since two opposing bodies cauuet
move in the same sphere at the same
time, aud since vote for Taft is a
vote 10 kill the American party, surely
il cannot be expected that any member
Of the American party would vote for
Taft. No American voter wishes to kill
the American party, and since Taft
vote is vote TO kill that party, accord
ing to the Smoot ''Mouth,' the lopic
is irresistible chat American Renubli-
cans are neither expected nor desired
to vote Tor TAFT, unless they are willing
10 vote to kill their own party. Q. Z. D.
Again, the Smoot "Mouth" says
That "the kearns party mas been fight
