The Great Issue,
Judge Mckinney declared that the
great issue in this campaign is whether
or not Salt Lake shall enjoy the cou-
timation Of public improvements which
have characterized the administration
OF the American party. or whether
those improvements shall come tD sud.
, den stop. under church rule, whether
Salt Lake shall continue 10 progress
? under American party rule. or perhaps
actually retrogress under tho control of
the Mormon church, Judge Mckinney
, referred 10 thc declarations of those
! opposed 10 the American party 10 tbs
effect that II is a party of graft and
other vice: how II is contendcd by
: leaders of the dominant church that

J wickcdness which exists here, He then
% read extracts from speeches bv Brig
ham Young delivered in the Mormon
f.. tabernacle in which he, the leader OF
J the chnrch. declared that there were
2 rs big devils among the ''elders Of
5 Israel as anywhere in the world;
J how Brigham Young had actually de-
a clared that We (tbe Mormons) can
g heat them AT anything.
Judge Mckinney used the case Of
G Brigham II. Roberts as an example Of
; what happens TO man who darcs SHOW
