w. S. Dalton Talks.
W. S. Dalton said that the charge
is without foundation that the Amer
lean party is directing its fight against
its opponents on religious grounds. On
the contrary, he said, tho American
party gives the younger Mormon voter
an opportunity TO exercise his franchise
as an American citizen, which he has
not now. Mr.. Dalton said that the Re
publicans, the Citizens and tho Demo
Gratis did not nominate the candidates
that appear on the ticket, hut that they
were nominated by the ruling spirit IN
the Bee Hive house.
In the American party. SAID Mr.
Dalton. "the people got together ana
nominated tho mon they wanted. That
is not the case with the other fellows.

but don't get me out of bed again for
small matters of this sort.
"No, my friends, 1t is not the peo-
pie who name the candidates on the
Republican or the fusion ticket. II is
| the head of the church, and he alone
| And that is what is antaeonistic to the
American and to the American spirit
We do not care 10 what church man
belongs. He is guaranteed the right
b. tho constitution to worship God ac
cording to the dictates of his conscience
and that is precisely what we would
have kim do. .
Mr.. Dalton closed his remarks wltt
a good word for the councilmanic candl
dates in the Second. He declared Mr.
| o 'Donnell and Captain Reed to be mel
of ability and integrity. The SecoDt
has been the recipient of many bene
fits as the result of American control
The Second, he said, ought to be The
banner American ward Of the city.
Before adjournment, Chairman Towle'
urged the voters in the Second to b'
ready early in the morning of mex
Tuesday, and not to wait until evening
TO cast their votes.
