AS the direct result Of Republican rule
both In the nation and state-and hold
the present administration responsible
therefor Nt
We call attention To the well-defned
policy OF the Republican party which
gives the trusts the advantage OF free
trade in articles which the trusts con-
sumo, while placing protective duties
even TO the point OF prohibition, upon
all articles competing with what the
trusts make and sell

We favor admitting free OF duty all

We condemn the interruptions meth
DDS OF Republican campaign managers
In this state who employ political trick
sters to convey by stealth the impress
sion that the Church leaders say one
thing for the public and say another
thing for private ears, and that the
welfare OF the Church depends upon the
success of a political party. on this
point we direct special attention u the
open, Official declaration Of the Church
as a Church. that IL favors both from
principle and policy. the absolute sepa-
ration Of church and state: no domina-
ton Of the state by the church. no state
interference with the functions OF the
church or with the free exercise of re-
ligion; and the absolute freedom Of tho
individual from the domination OF &c
clesiastical authority in political mat
tiers. True To Its record Of century
the Democratic party adheres Loyalty tn
the principle here set forth. and, in the
interest Of justice, peace and good Will
we demand that this principle be ac-
cepted and acted upon In good faith by
every citizen OF Utah.
MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF
LIQUORS,
The Democratic party has afuavs
advocated ;he largest measure OF nber-
~ TO the individual citizen consistent
with public welfare. however, we rec
ognize the fact that the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors and
the use thereof as a beverage is one Of
the greatest evils TO society. II results
In untold economic loss. both 20 the
state and the individual: Il fills our
Jails. penitcntiartes and asylums, and
IL is the cause OF the greater per cent
OF the crime committed. We believe
that the largest unit Of government can
obtain the best result In dealing with
the liduor question. and we therefore
favor the prohibition Of the manufac-
ture. sale. or other disposal OF, any
spirituous. vinous. malt or other intox-
icating liquors within the State of
Utah
We therefore favor the enactment by
the next legislature Of a statute pro-
viding for state wide prohibition OF
the liquor traffic within this state: and
we pledge the Democratic senators and
representatives elected 10 the legisla-
ture to vote for such "a law.
We call attention 20 the fact that the
Republican leaders. while soliciting &C.
Clesiastlcal support, have AZ the same
time entered into an alliance with the
liquor element TO prevent or postpone
the enactment Of prohibitory laws.
thus demonstrating to the world that
there Is no institution or organization
so sacred or exalted they would not
attempt TO debauch, and none so low
they would not zealously approve and
uphold IN order 20 accomplish their
partlzan ends.
We denounce the Republican party
of Utah for it's truculcncy toward cor
porations. it's subserviency TO tyran-
nous machines its nacord OF a dis
turber OF the public peace ana the in
cubator OF the American party, Its
corrupt bargain with the liquor inter
