BLAMES REPUBLICANS
FOR MORMON GROWTH
[unIted preaa Leased wire. ]

ySan Diego, Cal, Sept. 24-That
the Republican party Is directly re-
sponsible for the rapid spread OF
Mormonism throughout the west, is
the charge OF Rev. u. s. Wishard,
d. d., leader in the Southern Cali
fornia Methodist Episcopal confer
ence, which Is In session in this city.
In an address on THE Menace OF
Mormonism," delivered before the
conference last evening, DR.. Wish
ard fiayed Republican party leaders,
and advocated that a demand upon
congress to legislate. against the
spread OF the Mormon faith be made
by orthodox denominations. He said:
II charge that the Republican lead
ers are in coalition with the Mormon
church of Utah and Idaho. In return
for the delivery Of these states to the
Republican party at national cleo
tions, the Mormons there are not mo-
Tested by federal authorities. That
polygamy is tolerated there is direct
ly attributable to the Republican par
ty, which tolerates this great evil
and menace In the interest OF sordid
politics.
