THE CHOICE MUST BE NOW.

In view of the fact that the sword -
has gone forth to the members OF the
Mormon church. instructing them how
to vote in the election today. and that
this word could not have issued
without the approval OF the president
Of the church. there are some matters
that il may be well 70 recall TO the
minds of the Mormon people. And these
reminders may also be Of some value
10 those Gontilcs who have heretofore
accorded with the prophetic plans, out
Of what they considered TO be fidelity
TO party.
According 20 his professions. Joseph
T. Smith claims the God.givcn night TO
direct all mankind in all things. His
assumption is based npon the supposi-
tion that he has inherited with q certain
priestlv office kingship over what he
calls the kingdom OF God on earth,
which is set up for the purpose Of over.
throwing all nations and destroying all
governments. Will you accept the po.
liticai dictation Of such a mano
Joseph i. Smith holds 70 himself. as
the chief cxemplar before al mankind,
the privilege Of obcying or disobeying
Cod, Just as he pleases, As such exem-
plar he has declared on the tabernacle
stand that he is entitled TO tell the
truth or 10 lie, Just as will best suit
his purposes. Are you going to follow
the political instruction OF such bias
phemer!
Joseph +. Smith has confessed that
he has not only disobeyed the command
of the Almighty, but that he has no
intention Of doing otherwise 80 long
as he may live. Can you support him
in his political schemes for the further.
ance of such defiance of God?
Joseph f. Smith is a self confessed
lawbreaker. whose preference was to
take his chances against the law and
to hurl defiance into the faces of tho
officers of the law. Will you accent
the candidates whom be has named for
the purpose Of making it possible for
him to perpetuate his disobedienco 10
statute and his derisicn of the power
or the State2
This is no time to gloss over matters
with fine words. You are now placed
in a position where you are compelled
10 show that you are active in the
support of Joseph f. Smith, prophet of
God, claiming to be empowered to smite
the world in His name, and TO defy the
Government and trick its citizenship !;

HOW TO VOTE.

The way TO vote the American
ticket is to vote it. Push to the
right the square button that has
on it the American flag, that Is
the fifth of the party levers, and
that has the letter "E' in a circle
beside it. Push till the bell rings.
Then if you want to vote for any
electors, pull down the pointers
that designate them. And don +
forget TO vote "NO" on the pro-
posed Constitutional amendments.
This is done by pushing the three
pointers at the left-top corner
push them all to the right, and so
vote "NO" on them all.
But a complete American vote
is polled by pushing the party
emblem to the right till the bell
rings-this for Republican-Ameri-
cans. The Democratic c-Americans
can cast complete vote by push
ing to the right the Byan-National
ticket. which is the third from the
top, is marked &C." and has a
lion for party emblem, These
should vote against the Constitu-
tional amendments, as indicated
above

WHAT SMooTISM MEANS.

I a gentleman who called at The Trib,
une office yesterday put the whole case
! in a nutshell, He said that Republican
triumph this year means setback for
this city and county that will paralyzc
1t tor ten years TO come. The strenu.
osity of the church 20 maintain its rule
and to protect its law defyiug chiefs
must give way eventually to the in
fluence of American institutions and
American thought. To stavo off that
triumph temporarily is merely TO give
tleeting personal advantage to Smoot
Mt the cost of the people at large. and
to the misery and shame Of the Nor
mon church.
Now, there is NO question in the world
but that is an exact summing up of The
situation. Smoot and the intrigucrs who
are behind him are plotting against the
people and are striving TO put off as long
as possible the triumph OF American in
stitutions and American ideas in Utah.
They have for so long been law unto
themselves, they have so long fostered
the idea that they arc peculiar peo.
pie. y who must be kept away from con-
tact with their fellow citizens of the
Republic, that IL is hard for them 10
give up that old noticn of e1clusiveness
and self-righteousuess. And when one
thinks of the rotten base which this
eIf.righteousness is built upon, it is
indeed a marvel that it should survive
the stress Of even one storm. The pc.
culiarities OF this people which dis
tinguish them from others in the ewes
of their leaders is their devotion TO the
lawless cult of 2olygamy and their
oneness in sustaining the law-defy.
ing, robbing hierarchy. And that HE.
rarchy is making its final struggle now
TO retain its supremacy, the exclusive.
ness of its people. and the dominance of
the members Of that hierarchy over the
politics and civil affairs of their fol.
lowers.
Such triumph would mean miser-
able defeat in the end, even if the law.
defiers could hope 90 win in this cam.
paign; because the end is inevitable,
the hierarchic rule must aud will be
eliminated and defiance of the law must
be stopped, and the effort 20 cover up
the graft, iobbery, forgery. and general
corruption in the conduct of tie county
must fail, for the people are
aroused on this question and are en-
titled TO know the truth.
Every time that Smoot triumphs undei
the old banner be injures this people
immeasurably. Every time that he uses
the old slogans, the old orders, the old
TO override the people in
politics, he sows the seeds of destruc-
tiop and disruption in his church, and
is, in fact, It's worst enemy. Until the
bierarchic domination, which is re-
sponsible for Smoot, is thrown off from
the nccks OF the people. there will be
no rest in Utah. and every triumph os
Smoot makes the fight more bitter and
prolonged The people have now an
TO end the old strife by
retiring those who force il upon the
public, and breaking up the solidity of
the filthy ring of ecclesiasts aud Fed
eral officials which for so long have been

stands ready TO defend that citizen in
thus expressing that choice, whether it
be for one set of candidates or another

BOY MASQUERADES AS
PRETTY TELEPHONE GIRL.

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 26.-When it
became known among the girl oper-
ators of the Forest exchange of the
Bell Telephone company today that
their associate, Helen lies, was
really a boy in disguise, there was
general CONSERVATION, because there
was not one among them who hal
not at some time confided to him
her most intimate secrets
The climax came a week ago when
Helen" sought a dashing brunette
in the rest room and declared that
he loved her and could not live with
Sout her. To her he confessed that
he was a man.
The girl repulsed him and imme-
diately sought Miss Burne, the chief
operator, and related all that had
occurred. Miss Burns obtained a
confession and ordered "Helen's" i'm

REPUBLICANS
ARE ALL FOR MIR. TAFT.

st. Louis. Mo-, Feb. 26.-Mis-
souri, Republican leaders are gather
ing in St. Louis today in advance of
the state convention, which will be
held tomorrow. There is little doubt
that the delegation from the state
of the mysterious stranger" to the
Chicago convention will be solidly in
favor of the candidacy of Senator
Taft.
With only one negative vote, the
state committee passed the following
Taft resolutions:
BE it resolved by the Republi-
can State Committee of Missouri,
That this committee recognizes that
the sentiment of the Republicans of
Missouri is practically unanimous in
favor of William II. Taft as the can
didate of the Republican party for
President in 1908. And this COM
mittee declares its belief that the
Republican electors of the state
have absolute confidence in the pa
triotism, high character and preemi-
nent abilities of Mr.. Taft and, be-
lieve that in his character, his learn
ing and experience as a judge and
as an executive officer, and in all
the affairs of life, William II. Taft
has unequalled strength as a can
uiuale ana possesses In the highest
degree the qualities that must be
possessed by Republican President
Resolved, That this committee
feels confident that the nomination
of William II. Taft would unite and
strengthen the Republican party in
Missouri more than could the nomi-
nation of any other person suggested
as candidate, and with that belief
We feel 1t to be our duty to so ex-
press ourselves as to centre on him
