Mormon Democrats TO be disioyal TO

1t is pleasure to see Mr. Knight
some out thus openly in denunciation OF
the raids made by church ecclesiasts.
high and low, upon the Democratic
party, to force Democrats 10 betrav

the Republicans. At the same time,
we show to Mr.. knight that he is a lit

shoers and whisperers who are
so much abroad IN the land
this year as heretofore, Il is
true that that has been the method in
tue past. This year, however, the gum.
shoe method and the whispering method
have been set aside, and the church &C.
clesiasts are out in the open, loudly,
ayowedly. and distinctly, shouting for
the Republican party.
When in priesthood meeting in the
Temple the president OF stake will
openly read out the names of Demo-
Gratis assigned to do Republican
work at the polls on election day:
when President Nephi L. Morris
comes out IN public meeting of the
faithful exhorting them 10 political
unity, and when as president Of the
Salt Lake stake be ipstructs the officers
OF the Mutual Improvement associa-
tious in it, "counseling" the church

the men aud women who nre qualified
voters, and especially the American
men and women, to see today that their
names are or the registration lists; be-
cause if those names are not put there
now, tho person represented by that
name cannot vote.
Again VIC call attention to the fact
that il the county clerk Office the
registration lists have been tampered
with, and large numbers of names of
American voters have been stricken of
This in defiance of law, aud un-
doubtedly the criminal, If detected, could

But that is not the point now, save
as it emphasizes the need for every
voter to 90 10 his or her registration
Office for the last time and see that be-
yond all question his OF her name is on
the list.
That done, all is well, and every one
who is qualified may vote on next
Tuesday, Even if the voter does not care
very much about it. by next Tuesday
that voter will want, with u great long
ing, to vote. But the wanting will not
be sufficient without the registration.
Therefore the only safe thing to do is

dicial district it appears, since the
visit there Of Messrs. Spry and Howell,
that The church influence ia against the
Republican candidate for Judge and is
IN favor of the Democratic candidate.
And that is the way in which church
politics acts the part Of treachery and
utter lack of principle IN its political
manifestations. The whole State will
view with the liveliest interest the out
come of the judicial contest in the
Sixth district, with a view of seeing
whether the church influence will, IN
fact, be turned TO the support of an in
competent Democrat as against
competent Republican, and this for the
reason that that incompetent Demo.
crat had helped the church courts to
usurp q jurisdiction in the determine
tion Of the ownership Of land, juris"
diction which was denounced by the
Supreme Court and which every one
knows to be one Of the most impudent
assumptions that even the impu6ence

for the Republican party and against
the Democratic party, as well as against
the American party. The church is
pinning it's faith to the Republican
cause this year. Ii is doing everything
in its power TO elect Che Republican
ticket. II is doing this because the
church politicians and the Federal ring
hope that they can win in that
way and despair of winning in any
other. 1t is the last desperate throw Of
lot of reckless political gamesters.
But it is hardly worth while, as we
said above. for any ono TO be dcnounc-
ing gum.shoers and whispercrs this
year. All who object to church intru.
sion in politics will, no doubt, before
the close Of the campaign, SEQ that they

PARTIALITY AND SYCopHANcv

Whhe testltylng IN his own defense
at Washington, Reed Smoot was asked
concerning his attitude toward the
cases of Apostles John W. TAYLOR and
Matthias T, Cowlcy. He there said; .If
1t is proven that they are guilty Of VIC.
lating the law Of the church, shall po+
sustain them This declaration is IN
be found on page 1875, volume g, OF tbe
Washington testimony,
It viii be remembered that Smoot
also testified that he had objected to
sustaining Taylor and Cowley, and had
made complaint TO the president of tbe
church that they were dieobeyinp The
revelation of the church. aud that The
result OF his protest and complaint had
shown itself IN the institution Of m
investigation into the behavior of these
two offenders.
Now, it ought 10 be plain TO the under.
standing that Smoot was fully as we'll

this country to the approval OF hi'

sirable state of affairs, The president
of the church, BEING q lawbreaker IN at
least one particular respect, would pun

heretofore.
In no other community in the United
States can there be found q condition
such as exists here in Utah--and Ger
taiuly not Que embracing so much OF
evil possibility. Reed Smoot has lent
himself to the creation Of this condition,
and no citizen who holds the welfare Of
the commonwealth above the personal
ambitions Of individuals will do any
thing TO encourage or assist Smoot fur

THEIR TREAcHsRous POLITICS.

Word comes to The Tribune from
southern Utah that the late speaking
tour Of Spry, Howell & Co, was a
dreary failure; that the audiences
We're small and the enthusiasm abso-
lutely wanting. And that is pre-
clsely as 1t ought TO be, because those
men arc simply the ring candidates,
chosen by small coterie of Federal
officials in Salt Lake, this choice be-
ing backed by the church influence
openly declared. And so The Tribune
rejoiees in the word it receives OF the
"frosts' that overlook this gang in
southern Utah
Word comes also of another matter
which, from the viewpoint of decent
politics, is miserable parody on the
pretensions Of honesty in the "F'edcral
bunch" For some reason or other the
agents OF the Federal bunch" in
the region in which Spry aud Howell
have been operating have all at once
developed an opposition TO Mr.. Chi
dester, the regular Republican nomi-
nee for Judge OF the Sixth judicial
district, and in favor OF II. \. Hays,
the Democratic nominee. To what ex-
tent Spry and Howell are responsible
for this political treachery we do not
know. But it is certain that it has de.
ve!oped, 50 Jar as surface Groupings
60, only since the trip Of these worth
les down into that part OF the state.
The claim is that Mr.. Chidester has
rot been sufficiently subservient to the
will OF the pot-hou5e politicians of the
. Federal buncb,' and so the "church
influence IS bespoken for Mr.. HAYS,
by reason OF Hays's activity for the
church usurpatiop in the notorious Bird
sail case, where the church eccles~
iastical courts assumed jurisdiction of
landed rights, and bounded one of It's
members into the madhouse because
she resisted the church decree com
mandlng her TO transfer her real estate
to church favorite And now Mr..
Hays is to get his reward, it appears.

helpfnlness TO the church in that M.
savory aud unwarranted ASSUMPTION
and usurpatiou of jurisdiction, which
was wholly despotic, and which WAS
so severely rebuked not long ago by the
Supreme Court of Utah. Mr.. Chi
dester is judge of experience, of
fairness. and judicial capacity. Mr..
Hays has no judicial experience at all.
IS not even especially known as a
lawyer, and has SO little experience in
the practice that it would be extremely
dangerous to put him on the bench.
His capacity as a lawyer may fairly be
ganged by his support of the usurps.
tlons of the church court in the land
case referred to. And undoubtedly. if
ne were elected judge. he would take
his orders from the ecclesiastical courts
within his jurisdiction in every case in
which those courts might dcvelop an
interest
The vile political treachery involved
in the support by the ecclesiastical in.
fiuence of Mr.. Hays as against Mr..
Chidester, shows the unconceu or
