gives the trusts the advantage OF free

sumo, while placing protective duties

al articles competing with what the

81, We call attention to the weIl-estab-

are shipped abroad at considerable eN-
i pense and sold to foreign consumers at
a lower price than Is charged the Amer
/ lean consumer at home

We condemn the INSCRIPTIONS meth

/ 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 10 the
I open, official declaration Of the church.
| as a church, that II favOrs, both from
l principle and policy. the absolute sCpa-
I ration OF church and state: no domiua-
\ tion Of the state by the church; no state
| interference with the functions OF the
| church or with the free exercise OF re-
! liEton; and the absolute freedom OF the
| individual from the domination Of &c
| cleslastical authority In political mat
/ tiers. True to its record Of century
| the Democratic party adheres loyalty TO
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 always
| advocated the largest measure of lib
| erty to the individual citizen con-
| sistcnt with public welfare: however,
| we recognize the fact that the manu-
/ facture and sale Of Intoxicating liquors
/ and the use thereof as a bever-
/ age is one OF the greatest evils to So
| ciety. II results in untold economic
/ loss, both TO the state and the lndi-
/ vidual; Il fills our jails penitentiaries
/ and asylums, and II is the cause CT
/ the greater per cent OF the crime COM
/ mitted. We believe that the largest
/ unit Of government can obtain the best
/ result in dealing with tho 1fuunr
| ton; and we therefore favor the pro
] hibiton Of the manufacture. sale. or
other disposal Of, any spirituo,us.
! liquors within the state Of Utah.
! We therefore favor the enactment by
/ the next legislature of a statute pro-
/ viding for statewide prohibition of
the liquor traffic within this state: and
| we pledge the Democratic senators and
| representatives elected TO the legis,a-
/ ture TO vote for such a law.
! We call attention TO the fact that
| the Republican leaders. while soliciting
| ecclesiastical support. have az the
| same time entered into an alliance with
| the liquor element to prevent or post
pone 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 20 debauch. and none so low
/ they would not zealously approve and
| uphold in order to accomplish their
partisan ends.
we denounce the Republican PARTY
/ OF Utah for its truculency toward cor
pOrations. its subserviency 20 tyran-
nous machines. its record Of a dis
/ turber OF the public peace. and the in
| cubatOr Of the American party. its cor
ruDt bargain with the liquor in
| terests. its inefficiency I'm public scrv-
/ ice. its extravaganza in the matter OF
public funds. its maladministratiOn in
! all the departments OF the state and
| county government. its reactionary
/ policies. its opposition 10 private iudg-
/ ment. 70 enlighten the public con-
! science. and 10 the spirit OF independence
/ and civic righteousness that develop
| citizenship.
| We denounce Aldrichism and Can
nonism as manifested and repudiated
upheld by the Republican machine in
Utah. And in this connection we call
the attention TO the people of Utah TO
/ the conduct OF the Republican senators
and congressman from this state. who
