AS to the future OF the American party:
To those who think OF the matter there
can be but one opinion. In the long run
public offices are small matters. To Oh
tain possession of the public offices OF
Utah would aid the American party In
sential to its success. The highest aim
to this party is the redemption OF Utah
from, cccleiastical domination. SO long
as the real governor Of Utah lives in
the Beehive house and the real legisla-
ture of Utah sits In the tithing yard our
task Is before us. The evils We aim at
are behind the offices. After all, to Sc
stroy certain ideas that have obtained
root in the minds of a great portion OF
the people of Utah. One of these vicious
ideas is that church and state are one
this is Smoot and Smootisn. Another idea
is tha; the interests OF the church are
at all times paramount to the welfare OF
and smithsm. Another idea, most vicious
OF all. is that the counsel OF a religious
fanatic In political affairs is OF more
value than the dictates OF reason or OF
conscence-this is the dead hand Of Islam
that destroys reason and progress.
In combating these ideas the American
party VIII meet with defeats and reac-
tions. but 1t will triumph in the end

The career OF the American party,
though of brief duration, has been a
stormy and cventtul one. Born in the
citadel of an ecclcsiasticism whose con
unued political asCendcncy would mean
the subversion of free government, the
American party. confident OF the right
eousness of its cause. with enmity toward
none with goodwill toward all, began its
crusade for civil and political liberty in
the state OF Utah, calling upon all citi-
ZenS. regardless Of creed or party who
believe that church and state should be
forever separate. who believe that the
voice of the people, and not the voice of
thc priest or the politician. is the voice
OF God. to bury all their differences and
