POLITICAL PRIESTCRAFT
Ex-senator Frank ]. Cannon's Story o.
the Menace of the Mormon Church

The former United States Senator
from Utah, himself Mormon, COM
mences series of articles in the Christ
mas Everybodys, written with a zeal
tempered by affection. He says of his
people:
But it is even through their virtue
and by their very strength that they age
being betrayed. A human devotion-the
like of which has rarely lived among the
citizens of any modern state-is being
directed as an instrument of .subjuga-
ton against others and held as means
of oppression upon the Mornons them
selves. Noble when they were weak,
they are being led to ignoble purpose,
now that they have become strong
Praying for justice when they had no
power, now that they have gained power
it is being abused to ends Of injustice.
Their leaders, reaching for the feshpots
for which these sirnple-hearted devotees
have never sighed, have allied them
slves with all the predaceous interests
of the country and now use the super
human power of a religious tyranny to
increase the dividends of national
plunder."
