there would be no american party in
the state OF Utah. The machine drove
every man out OF the Democratic and
Republican parties into the American
party because they could not stand for
the filth and rottenness OF their par
ties,
Now, | want to tell YOU" he con-
tined, that | am assured by these gen
tlemen II you can show them where the
federal bunch has gone away back and
sat down and will never have this pres
tige any more they will disband. They
will go back to their business.
II believe to certain extent that 1t
is true that the federal bunch has the
ear OF the president OF the church, They
have presumed too much on the good will
and friendship Of the leaders OF the
church. These men have had the gum

dition would exist" Mr. Grant declared
I'D rise I'm my wrath and cast seventeen
votes TO XIII any such party that would
send such men to the penitentiary for
their conscience sake. That plea is as
rotten as hell and there Is no truth In Il.

party will go back 10 the Democratic

come TO Utah will to let the Republican
party win, 1t will damn the state as she
never was before in her history. In be-

that you do not allow the Republicans
