The Mormon Touch.

One recognize the footprints of the hierarchy
in the republican convention platform of two states
possessing "a1lied interests both conventions having
been recent affairs The republicans of Utah say in
their platform:
The attempt being made to make political
of the voters of Utah by destroying national
party lines if successful, have but result and
that is disaster to the state. We call upon every
lover of our commonwealth who believes in the flu
of Utah and has faith in the institutions of his
country to unite and administer to the marplots such
a rebuke will forever silence their indicative ton
CUES. The attempt to build up party here the
gnobe foundations of personal malice, SANDER and
hatred will fail and the people of Utah. actuated by
nobler motives, will march forward shoulder to
shoulder working unitedy for the upbuildng of
our commonwealth until it shall take its place as one
of the great states of the union, and in that day
her defamers will be forgotten
The republicans of Idaho say in their platform:
We point with shame to the insult rendered the
people of this state by the factional contest now
being carried on in the democratic party, and the
complete surrender of principle and party policy
to tactlonal strife The incompentency of the party
and its untness to control the affairs of state clearly
appear by the acts and assertions of those claiming
to be its leaders.
Two freak planks in the republican platforms of
two Mormonized states one following closely on the
other and both emanating from the same source.
Each plank is assault upon state movement to
rescue government from the same poygamous church
and undoubtedly the orders for their adoption came
from the same The vicegerent of God has
been working overtime preparing p1anks for repubi-
platforms.
The Mormon plank in the Utah republican plat
form is directed against the American party of that
state, both of the old parties being under control
of the hierarchy and the American party being COM
posed OF Genties from both the parties who are op-
posed to poygamy and church control of parties and
government
The Mormon plank in the Idaho republican plat
form directed against the regular democratic party
OF the state, which occupies the ground that is oc-
cupied by the American party of Utah and finds itself
compelled to fight faction of its own party and
the organization of the republican party
The destruction of the Idaho democratic party is
sought by all the influences the hierarchy at Salt
Lake can bring to bear, which includes the republi-
can party machine, many of the officials elected by
the republican party and faction of the democratic
party msled by paid attorneys of the hierarchy
1t may succumb to the combination of evil in
1uences and yield to destruction but if it should an
American party would rise from its ruins that would
assemble the antipoygamy Genti1es of the state in
orce sufficient to retire from government all those
who support the usurpng church and forget the
principles upon which the republic is founded

Well Faxed

Someone with we'll developed
bump of hulnor faxed up a most
distressing tale for the Duluth Her
aid last week about vanda1s injur-
ing the new steel ore dock at Two
Harbors. The story goes that a
number Of men had gone UP from
Superior In stolen launch aaa
damaged the dock to the extent Of
SIS, 900 and returned. All this
was supposed to have been done
Wednesday night. An ad. offering
$1,000 for the capture of the crini-
mails also appeared. The dock had
not been damaged in any way, and
the whole story was simply a fake.

SOME FACTS
A Few Things About Du-
luth and the Ranges.

Only One.
One county office that the ranges
have got out of nine.
Duluth has the other eight
And it has two candidates for the
ninth.
Yet
The Ranges
Pay most of the county's taxes,
Have most of the county S territ-
Dry,
Cast most of the county's repub-
lican vote.
The part of the county that has
the smaller part of the county's
wealth, pays the smaller part of
the county's taxes and casts the
smaller part of the vote that elects
the county officers-this part of the
county has eight of the nine coun-
ty offices and wants the ninth.
That's Duluth.
Anything fair about that?
The ranges are beginning to
think there isn't, and they are
uniting this year in demanding a
larger share in county affairs.
They are going to return to Office
the one range man who is now
serving and they are evidently de-
termined to get one or two other
offices for the ranges.
The ranges have a fine chance to
elect a range man for Probate
Judge this year. The present in
cumbent-a Duluth man-has held
the office three if not four terms
and has devoted large part of his
time to private business enterprises.
Even Duluth people think he has
had enough and many of them are
supporting A. +. Pfremmer, pub
Usher of the Hibbing Tribune, for
that place. Hibbing has never
had a county Office. The people
of Hibbing are a unit In their
support of the one range man now
in Office and ask the ranges to
stand by their marl-Mr. PREM
mer. Every newspaper in the
county outside of Duluth joins
them in this request.
Vote for the range man, for
more influence for the ranges ia
county affairs and mark your bal
lot
