The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1908-10-28

The above statement, made by Jesse
William Knight, was not printed in the
Deseret News. Wbyf
The Deseret News promised Jesse
William Knight that it would help him
in this campaign if ne was a caDdi-
date for governor. Why did ii not
priut the above statcment2
Jesse Kuight, father of Jesse Will
liam knight, is one of the heaviest,
If not the heaviest, titbcpayers to
,be dominant church in Utah. His
checks sent 10 the presiding bishopric
who are in charge of the tjtbes for the
church have amounted TO as much as
$4,000 at one time.
Has Right to Be Heard.
Jesse William knight is also 1.-THE
payer. What his contributions are Is
not known, but they arc larger than
poses as The church Republican candi-
date for governor. Jesse William
Knight is, in view Of this, certainly
entitled to be heard in the organ Of
the church to which he belongs,
The knight family pays into the
Golfers of the dominant church every
year more money in tithes than the en-
tire federal bunch receives in salaries
during a four years term of office.
Why, therefore, did the Deseret News
not print the statement of Jesse Will
liam Knight
In view of The immense sum of mon
ey paid in 20 the tithing fund of the
dominant church every year, why does
the Deserct News ignore the candidacy
of Jesse William Knight
The Deseret News declares that it Is
an iDdependent newspaper; that It has
no politics Why, then. does it endorse
Taft and urge its readers to vote for
bim as against Bryan and knight,
when the latter turns into the tithing
fund every wear oDe-half as much mon
ey as Mr. Taft, if elected, receives in
four years
Why does the Deseret News advocate
the election of Smoot representatives to
the legislature, and order through the
presidents of stakes that all members
of the dominant church vote for the
church Republican ticket,
The Knight Statement
Jesse William Knight sent TO the
Deseret News ONCE ou Monday at
2. IN. the address TO Utahus which The
Tribune printed on Tuesday morning.
The News did not print the address.
Why?
The tithing fund 10 which Jesse Will
father contributes 100000 per annurn,
is used 20 pay the losses of the Smoot
Mouth which loses an aggregate Of
about $4,000 month, and this paper
tights the candidacy OF Jesse William
Knight for Governor of Utah Why7
Jesse William Knigh: asks for fair
church. OF which the Deseret News is
the organ, into politics, He as q good
saint asks for what the president of the
United States declares every man Is en-,
Titled to-a square deal. But Jesse
William knight will not get square
deal In the Deseret News, Whyi :
Jesse William. Knight is Democrat.
So is his father. Between them $780,
600 per annum goes TO the support of
the church The Descret News is the
organ OF the church. IL declares it has no
politics. Why,then, does il support Smoot
tics. Why, then, does it support Smoot
and the church Republican ticket, and
urge the lay members TO support this
same church Republican ticket, whose
candidates do not pay into the tlthing
tnDd as much money in twenty-five
wears as the Knight family does in
three monthss Ye5 the News is fight.
IL. Jesse William knight IS candidacy
News Cannot Answer.
Why does the News oppose Jesse
William Knight? Why does the News
and the church OF which it is the or.
gan advise. It's followers, brothers and
sisters IN The same, church to which
Icssc William Knight and the Knight
FAMILY belong, TO drop Mr.. Knight and
Vote for his political opponent!
Arc the obligations of the Deseret
News greater to Apostle Smoot, greater
20 Bill Spry, greater to the federal
bunch than they are TO Jesse William
Knight?
Does rot Jesse William Knight pay
into the church every day more moncv
tiIau does Apostle Smoot in wear;
moro money than would Pee Wee Them
rs in n thousand years; more moncy
than kinky Booth in twenty years:
more money than does Curly Callistcr in
ter. Years; more money, and if blankets
