continued in autocrac control until forced by SUI
perior strength to give way.
Troops were sent to displace him and he sent his
own army against the government forces and tenn
porarily repulsed them Had he possessed strength
for continued resistance he would then have set up
his kingdom and would then have attempted the
subsection of the United States.
The declared intention to rule exists today in the
unchanged plans of the hierarchy which teaches
the same treason, in the same words, that inspired
Brigham to revolt against the National authority
1t may be that some of the men of Idaho now in
alliance with treason are proud of the companion
ship in politics that they have espoused They ought
not to be. If they are, The Scimtar was not wrong
few weeks ago when it grouped them with the
Tories of the first American struggle.
Salt Lake Tribune: 1--WE have stood the damned
vl1any of these scoundrels for thirty years in this
Territory. & I would live among saw
ages than among these cursed government ofhc1als
and the government itself is corrupt as its officials
1t is a disgrace among the nations and Will soon
be wiped out of existence"
Does Joseph F. Smith remembers that !? If not,

This is the to whom Reed Smoot humbly
bowed and requested permission to become senator
or the united StateS But let us follow the traitor
little further He worked himself up to the frenzy
of maniac and shouted further defiance to the land
in this wise:
eve don't want any of these damned government
officials among u.s. and won't have them here any
longer The of the niquty of this govern
ment is full, and won't stand its inference with
affairs any longer. We can manage our own
affairs without the assistance of this corrupt govern
ment''
And again the Saints said "Amen!" Encouraged
in his rebellious TRADE, Joseph F. Smith waxed
hotter and hotter He was determined to take in
all the enemies of the 1echerous gang of which he
was and is a member at one fell swoop. Listen:
There is damnable, dirty, blackguard sheet pub
wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else; and by the AL
mighty God, won't endure it any longer ['Amenp
again
We'll, then, | want you to get your arms ready
you that have them; and you that have none go
at once and get good and be ready for action"
| Another Amen !'from the assembled thousands1
Joseph F. Smith has not lost one lot of his hatred
for everything United States While he does not
now express his reasonable sentiments openly he
nutures the today in their grosses form in his
vile heart with glowerng satisfaction and poisonous
delight He has deputized scores of men to stand
in the temples and administer to Mormons who
gain entry there oath of treason towards the Ma
demanding from them solemn promise that
they will never to pray for its destruction Bv
every power he IS planning the uprooting of the
government of the United States hoping to per
'onaly rule the land surrounded bv his conc,,
oines and with his Legitimate children occupying the
nigh places.
And this is the who made Reed Smoot a
Senator of the United States
