SM0OTISM IS A SHADOW OVER THE STATE

with the ajorty of the liquor men of this
state, he should succeed IN thwartng the de-
sires of very large ma jority of the people IF
Utah, the fight would grow fercer, and the re-
suit no can guess as to its direful effect
Will you be further blinded by prejudice
and coerced or ntimidated into further sup
port of the Smoot machine, or will you join
with the thousands of other independent voters
in ovcrthrowing this machine?
You know very we'll that the Gcntics are
not enemies of yours. Some Of you have en-
joyed greater period of prosperity during
the life of the American party than ever be-
fore You know that the American system is
one of progress for Mormon and Gentle alike
For years you and your fathers and mothers
were kept IN an unequal race with the men and
women of the west who were not bound by
the same ties with which you have been bound
You have witnessed innumerable evidences Of
the progress Of your Gentle neighbors and
friends, and have wondered why you, too did,
not prosper in like measure You were Just as
energetic just frugal just as ambitious
But you have not been permitted to act with
that freedom that blessed your non Mormon
competitor. Your yoke has been heavier than
theirs
Are you going TO continue in this unequal
race or are you going to pursue course of in
dependence?
What American is your enemy? Do you
know single one who is? Have not Ameri-
cans demanded for every citizen square deal?
Do you not get as fair treatment at the hands
of non-Mormons as you do at the hands of
members of your church?
What has Smoot and the Federal bunch
ever done for youq What do you think they
ever will do for you, unless you become abso-
lutte and unqucstioning political slavesP
Think over these things with an open mind,
and when you have reached conclusion as to
what is the best thing for you, and when you
have reasoned on the frightfu mistake that
made in trying to elevate to political
power and to maintain as a political boss a
high ecclesiast of your church, 60 to the polls
and. for once in your life, cast free American
ballot.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-11-04

Just few words to the young men and
keeping their minds open to reason and who
are independent in thought and in action,
1t has been almost eight years since Reed
Smoot announced his desire to become sena-
tor of the United States He was then an apos-
tle Of your church. But he was not satisfied
with that honor He wanted to go to Wash
ington and become political representative
of the church in the congress Of the nation, as
he was an ecclesiastical representative at home,
During all these long years, and they have
been long, has Utah been free from acrimonious
discussion?
Has there been q moment of peace for the
Mormon people?
Of all the troubles of the church during
those years, is there one of Importance that
cannot be traced with directness or indirect
ness to Reed Smoot?
Has he not caused the things that are Of
fcnsvc in the lives Of some Of your leaders, to
be laid naked before the entire world?
Has he not Inundated the president of your
church by involving him in local political tur-
moilsg
Does the situation grow lcs@ trying as the
yeals roll by, or is il not true that Reed Smoot
and his satellites causing all absolute
breach in your church,
Think of the number of prominent and rep
utablc members of your church whom circum-
stances have forced into active opposition TO
your political leader. Can any man say that
such men as James Fl. Moyle, Brigham Ii. Rob
crts, Jesse Knight, William ii. King, B. F.
Grant, and their like, would oppose Reed
SInoot if they did not believe Snootism is an
absolute menace TO The peace OF this statc9
Do you believe that such men as Arthur l..
Thomas Hiram Il. Booth, George Sutherland,
Jake Greenewald, Harry Joseph, and others OF
their stripe care anything for the wideawaka,
iudepenucnt members Of 5ht dominant church,
or FOR the future good Of the church itself?
Don't you know that these men are kept III

welt spent large part Of his day in
walking through a string Of sleeping
cars on the way from his stateroom to
the rear platform or back again. He
was On bonrd q train which puifed its
way across Ohio and Indiana in such
ie'snrely fashion and made 80 many
stops that he exclaimed:
"This train visits through the coun-
try.''
AT all stations there were crowds
when the colonel made his appearance
on the platform. Early in the day the
crowds were small for il was not gen.
orally known that the colonel YVES pass
ing through. News of his approach was
mashed ahead from one town to another
and as the day went by the crowds be-
came larger
Colonel Roosevelt's day was not one
of such complete rest as he should have
expected. 1t was his first long trip
since his return from Africa without
acquainted with him before he reached
Chicago tonight.
Few Short Speeches.
Some one walked down the track at
Delphos, o., dragging an unwilling bear
at the end of chain so that Roosevelt
might see it. At several places the peo-
pie pelted him with carnations. He
made short speeches to few Of the
largest crowds.

Charles Grilk. Republican candidate
for congress, for whom Colonel Roose-
welt is to speak in Iowa tomorrow, met
the colonel ut the station and took him
In an automobile to his special car on

THAT DIX is COWARD

Roosevelt, en- route to Chicago today.
gave out Il statement ON the train In reply
10 the speech made by John a. Dix. Dem
ocratic candidate for governor OF New
York. In New York last night.
Mr. Roosevelt said:
Mr., Dix becomes exceedingly valorous
about me the moment l leave the state.
Ill answer him when l get back. I call
the attention OF all wase workers to the
fact that having in effect defended tho
decision which forbade New York state
To interfere to prevent working men Ia
boring an excessive number of hours un-
der unhygicnic conditions. he now In effect
defends decision declaring working
mems compensation also unconstitutional.
'1t is Of course mere nonsense for Mr.
Dix to assert that he Is for the principle
or either eliminating excessive hours of
labor under unhealthfuI conditions or OF
establishing the right of the workman tu
be compensated for the loss Of life or limb
when working at their trades. he Is now
explicitly upholding the judges who have
decided against these principles and is
condemDlng the moro numerous Judges
who have taken the opposite view and
have upheld the rights of the laboring
man instead of adhering to outworn and
purely technical legal doctrines which in
their working do the working man cruel
wrong and injustice,
'lf Mr.. Dix Is right in his championshin
OF Judge Baldwln's decision, and IL judge
Baldwin WAS right in that decision then
il Is unconstitutional for the nation and
the states 10 grant any real relief TO the
working men in The shape of compensa-
ton acts, The decision of Judge Baldwin
which Mr.. Dix upholds will not am con-
fident prove TO bo the law OF the land
either in nation or In state, but TO uphold
IL Is entirely Incompatible with any ma,
as a candidate saying no is in favor OF
any real or effective workers compensa-
ton. My answer to Judge Baldwin was

Dix does not dare deal wSth Mr., Stimaou

Those members of the ruling political ma
chine are goading Smoot into acts of political
lunacy. And he in turn is falsely leading the

of Mormons who permit themselves to reason
