COWLEY TRIES
HIS INFLUENCE
DepoSed Apostle of Mormons
Attempts to Make Breth-
rem Republicans.
SAYS CHURCH is IN POLITICS
DECLARES DEMOCRATIC LEAD
ERs ARE OUT OF HARMONY.

Efforts Of Republican politicians
Throughout the state TO urge the cleo
ton of the Republican ticket on the
grounds that the Mormon church au-
thorities desired the. election Of this
ticket. are meeting with the disfavor of
the Mormon church. The attempts are
acting as boomerangs, and many peo-
pie IN the state who have been the OBJ
ject of such Influence" are deter
mined 90 vote the Democratic ticket as
a matter Of protest against this action
of the Republicans.
Last Sunday Matthias F. Cowley. a
former apostle Of the Mormon church,
attempted to inject the alleged church
influence into politics in Cedar City,
iron county. and was rebuked severely
by the church people Of that city, Re
pnblicans and Democrats alike. Mr.
COwley spoke at the Mormon meeting
on Sunday. and in the course of his
talk, said:
THE declaration that the brethren
are not in politics is untrue. The breth-
rem are I'm politics, and / thank God
for II Personally, / am willing TO
wade In blood to my neck to insure
that right To them"
After the meeting Cowley circulated
lying campaign literature issued by the
Republican state committee. and de-
clared that il was the intention of the
authorities of the church that the mem
bers vote the Mormon ticket. He also
declared that Judge William H. King.
Brigham II. Roberts. James H Moyle
and other influential Mormon Demo-
Gratis were not i'm harmony with their
superiOrs in che Mormon church.
COwley is not popular in Cedar City
and even the Republicans of that city
admitted that instead Of securing votes
for Spry. he had made votes for Knight
and the Democratic national, state and
county tickets. II was openly charged
that Cowley was in the pay of the Re
publicans. and that he had no author
ity whatever to speak for the leaders
Of the Mormon church. Many of the
people of Cedar City said they would
prefer the word of Mormons in good
standing, such as are many. of the
Democratic speakers and candidates, to
that of man who was deposed from
Office for violation of church laws.
From Cedar City COwley went to Ne
vada where, IL is understood, he will
work against the return of Senator
Newlands to the senate
Among those who beard what CowIev
said in the meeting house at Cedar
City. and who denounced his action.
was Evan r. owen OF Wellsville. Dem
ocratic candidate for secretary of state.
Mr.. Owen is a Mormon bish5p and he
openly declared that Cowley, had spo-
ken without authority unless il was
from the Republican state committee.
Mr.. Owen spoke 10 the people OF Cedar
city concerning Cowley's utterances
and. without respect to party differ
ences, denunciation Of Cowley's appeal
to religious prejudice was virtually
unanimous

DIRECT ANSWER
AGAIN EvADED
President Roosevelt Cannot
Reply to Haskell Because
He Is UntruthfuI.

Muskogee. Okla, Oct. "a statement
was received here today at the office OF
the commissioner of the Five Civilized
Tribes from the interior department at
Washington, with Instructions to publish
the same for the Information OF the
Five Civilized Tribes incidentally inter
eSted, and to take every necessary step
10 bring II TO the notice of the lndlNlduai
Usage Indians.
The statement is an answer 10 Governor
Haskells recent charges. for the informa-
ton Of the Indians of the Usage natioh'
and says:
Governor HaskelTs recent open letter
TO the president charges that the presl-
dent acted unfairly to the Usage INDIANS
in the matter of fixing the royalty Tor the
lease of their oil lands TO the inqldh
Territory Illuminating Oil company. Gov
ernor Haskelfs statements are dehDerate
falsehoods; nor does he suggest a posi-
BILE remedy. As his disregard of truth is
wilful. no reply will be made TO MN
personally. but President Roosevelt and
Secretary Garfield are not willing that
the Usage Indians should not know the
truth about these matters, in order that
they may not be deceived by Governor
HaskelTs false statements. For this rea-
son. they send to the Indians the truth
about each of the charges he makes;
The statement takes up HaskeH
charges in detail and analyZes them TO
show their deliberate untruth."
The statement concludes:
Haskell attempts. by deliberate ana
falsehood, to give the false I'M
preston that he is championing the m
terests of the Indians The department
knows of but one matter in which he mas
shown a practical interest in Indian al
fairs. and this was when he procured
plots of valuable township lands from the
indians, the methods of which procure
ment are declared to be fraudulent IN
suits filed against him and now pending
In courts to recover for the Indians the
land which he has thus procured

SEVEN NEW CASES.

Manila Oct. 25.-Seven new cases of
cholera were reported in this city for the
day ending Sunday night. The slight in
crease in the spread of the disease is as
cribed by the authorities to the many
gatherings of the people on Saturday
night and Sunday and the feasts that
accompanied these assemblies. The sit
uation is not considered to be grave as
the health department feels that it has
the epidemic well under control, express
ing no alarm over the increase.
1t is probable that the government will
further restrict the gathering OF the ma
tives and also the sale OF dangerous
foods 1t is believed that the cOckpits
located in the suburbs of the city. where
it is difficult to maintain strict watch
over the sale of foodstuffs. are respon-
sible for the slight Increases in the num-
Der of cholera cases noted at each week
end.
