HOWELL REFUSES
TO MAKE REPLY
Republican Congressman De-
ClineS to Answer Questions
Asked by Railroad Man.

Pursuant TO a suggestion from the
tiOnal officers of the Order of Railroad
Conductors, F. +. Ripley. legislative rep
resentative of the organization for Utah,
sent to Joseph Howell, Republican candi-
date for congress; Lyman r. Martineau,
Democratic candidate for congress, and
Charles l. Douglas, American" candi-
date for congress, three questions asking
from these candidates their views relative
to the issuance OF injunctions and the
trial by jury in cases of indirect con-
tempt The letter was sent to these men
four weeks ago yesterday. From Mr..
Martineau and Mr.. Douglas prompt re-
plies were received. but Mr.. Howell ig
nored the communication and declined to
send any reply whatever.
The reply Of Mr. Douglas was merely
the answering in the affirmative the
questions asked. The reply of Mr.. Mar
tineau is given in full:
Your communication containing the fol-
lowing questions is received:
First-If you are elected would you use
your influence and vote toward securing
the passage of law that will prevent the
abusing or the power of injunction by
federal judges in labor disputes?
Second-If you will favor law which
will prevent federal judges from issuing
restraining orders or in1unctions without
giving adverse party opportunity to be
heard2
Third-If you favor the passage of the
law guaranteeing trial by jury to persons
accused of contempt of court IL such al
legged contempt be not committed in the
presence of the court or so near thereto
as to Obstruct the administration of JUS
tice?
As to the first and third my answer is
unequivocally yes. As to No. 2. II is
in such form that l cannot answer by
yes or no. therefore ] explain my posi-
ton as follows: I believe that iujunc-
lions should not be issued in any case in
which injunctions would not issue if no
federal dispute or industry were involved.
The expanding organization of industry
makes it essential that there should be
no abridgment of the right of wage-earn-
ers and producers to organize for the pro-
lection of wages and the improvement of
labor conditions, TO the end that such
labor organizations and their members
should not be regarded illegal combi-
nations in restraint of trade
The foregoing paragraph is taken from
our Democratic national platform. and 1
stand squarely thereon and in favor of
every proposition which viii tend to bet
ter the condition of labor and labor
unions in the United States
Thanking you for your communication
and earnestly inviting your support to
bring about these improved conditions. !
remain very truly,
L. r. MARTINEAU.

district committee of the Third judicial
district by which the fight for the county

the present district judges and attorney
Within are photographic reproductions of
tne Official ballot as IL is printed on the
voting machine illustrating TWO ways that
the committee desires that votes shall be

development of the state | deplore
the strife now existing i'll our midst
and regret that we should be divided
by religious prejudices, and that po-
litical contests are not friendly and
honorable and conducted upon ma
tional party lines. Political discus
sion should be for the dissemination
of truth and to instruct and elevate
the people. We cannot obtain the
highest results when religious contro-
versies become part of our political
discussions.
Permit me to again repeat: Let
us have peace The Democratic party
has striven for peace. and IN every
honorable way has endeavored to pre-
vent religious controversy. 1t has
pursued high and honorable course,
appealing to the discordant elements
in our neutrality-suspicious. and
Americans-to cease their conten-
tions and strife 1t is not responsible
for the intolerable political condi-
tons in our state, and if the course
which it has persistently pointed out
had been followed, there would be no
American party, nor the animosities
and distractions now existing.
The Democratic party is the peace
maker in Utah and the true friend of
all the people: it is the solvent force
that can bring peace to the warning
elements in our midst. A Demo-
cratic victory would solve social and
political problems now existing in
Utah. 1t would dissipate the clouds
hanging over us; restore, confidence
and unite all classes. / cannot refrain
from expressing my disapproval of
the unjust and unfair methods pur-
sued by the Republicans of Utah in
this election. They have misrepre-
scented the Democratic party-its
leaders and its principles; they have
not hesitated TO drag the dominant
church into the political arena. hop
ing thereby to divert attention from
national issues, that they might mis-
lead the members of the Democratic
party and other patriotic citizens of
the state. So anxious have they been
to win that they have been willing to
invoke religious influences and pre-
JUDGES, thus tending to revive old
conditions. which were so destructive
to the peace of the state. This course
should be condemned by all patriotic
people. Such methods. together with
the rule of machines. should be de-
nounced, and all good people should,
by their votes. place their seal of dis
approval thereon The mission of
churches and creeds is to elevate the
people and to lead them TO higher

In an address delivered to a congrega-
ton that filled the Thirty-first ward
meeting house last night, President Jo-
seph F. Smith took occasion to speak
briefly on the subject of politics.
President Smith took occasion to pub
hcly declare that he had never attempted
10 influence voters in any way, that he
made no attempt whatever TO interfere
with their free use of the elective fran
chise. This was taken by his auditors
as a rebuke to those Republican enthusi-
asts who have repeatedly dragged the
name of the church and his name into
politics 10 accomplish a victory for their
party.
In this connection President Smith said:
Now, want to say just a few words
