| am leaving many of the more i'm
portani issues In this campaign TO those
who can best explain them. and will ad-
dress You more particularly as working
man AS such / desire TO emphasize
the fact that I am an American party
man because II so clearly stands for the
progress and welfare OF the nottingham
Because il stands for the progress and
development Of this great state, Because
II demands that the dominant church
keep hands off in politics and CONNER
cialism Because II demands complete
separa tion OF church and state. This
latter is vital 10 the interests OF every
worlSipgm3n, and 10 YOU and me- In all
history there isn't single instance
where the worklngman has prohted by
such combination, while dark indeed.
and even horrible, conditions have In
variably resulted. And this is not poiti-
cal buncombe or the result OF expert
mentstjon. 1t is the result OF conditions
existing for many centuries In many
climcs.
Can you. as business men. deny that
church commerCialism is detrimental to
progress. so essential to the upbuilding
OF Utah and her vast resources. and even
to your individual progress?
Can you, as workinEmeu, derry the fact
that the meddling Of the dominant church
in state affairs is hurtful 10 your inter

beneath the surface OF the vast area,
but until progressive spirit lis -vInced
by our citizenship. until that confidence
so necessary to the capitalist and pro-
moter Is guaranteed, il must lie dor

where for livelihood.
To Workingmen.
And 10 the wofkinsInau let me say
that il was only through tho agitation
of the principles advocated by the Ameri-
can party that YOU now receive the good
old American dollar of Uncle Sam in
stead of titlling scrip and store orders.
This same agitation, this same Amcri-
canism, has made ii possible for you to
organize your unions and societies. has
given you An eisht-h hour day instead OF
ten and Twelve. IT is the same Amcri-
canism which has transformed salt Lake
In few years from community village
10 one Of the most beautiful cities in
all America. IL is the same Amcricanism
which Will develop this vast region and
make Salt Lake City the capital Of this
great mtcrmountain country tho great
distributing point for vast manufacturing
and commercial enterprises which are
bound TO come with American success.
