Friends of Moses Thatcher. tho re
Gently deceased former apostle of the
dominant church, who was victim of
pricstly Intolerance and interference
bv high churchmcn in thc affairs Of
state, recall the fact that the man who
most bascly betrayed him was Joseph
Kimball. fusion candidate for the coun-
ell for the long term from The Fourth
ward
Joe KimbaIl was elected by the peo-
plc of Cache county ms m especial
champion OF Moses Thatcher ; candl-
dscy for the United States senate.
KimbaIl came 10 Salt Lake and, falling
into the hands Of Thatcher s enemies.
was persuaded 10 betray those who sent

The biggest hearted, brainlcsi. most
libcral.mindcd mcu the church ever pro
duced
Even though delegations of Cache
county Democrats, nclghbors and
friends of Moses Thatcher pleaded with
Joe KimbalI 10 keep his plcdg 10 them.
he stubbornly refused, became = lick
spttle servant OF 'rh3tcher'S political
enemies, and helped TO drive Cache
couutv's most honorcd citizen into an
early grave.
No friends of Moses Thatcher in the
Fourth ward can afford 10 give Joe
Kimbal their vote, Ii would he re

they would be aiding, by placing him
III the city council, man who would
be dotrimeut io the city aud there
by to every property owner, business
man and toilcr in salt Lake, an oppo-
nent 10 everything that means progress.
kimball s opponent is Mont Ferry.
And Ferry s majority over the man who
hotraved Moses Thatcher ought TO bc
at least 500.
When ihc Smooi ''Ilemorrhagc
tells about the great building activity
IN Salt Lake. as il did in u recent edi-
lion, doesu { THIS serve to answer -
claims that the American party Is in

Murdoch s record as councilman
from the First bellies his declaration

Almost invariably he has opposed pub.
