The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1911-08-17

not heard the gentleman make any
direct statement along the lines
charged, there appeared to be cause
for controversy, as the local gentle
men had made specific charges which
the visitor ought to explain. He be-
lieved in tolerance, In fact the Nor.
mon people are tolerant, and he was
glad that here in Logan man could
come into our midst bringing the rep
utation Of having done much to Gre
ate false impressions and misrepre.
sent Utah. and still have the privilege
of appearing in public unmolested.
"uB," said Mr. Bullen, Utah has
been falsely represented until she has
been hiss and a byword" in the
mouths of men. Thousands OF home
seekers have been directed into 9th.
or and much Tess inviting sections.
.and in consequence our progress and
growth have been retarded, and our
business interests have suffered. Utah
is rich in agriculture, in mines and
mineral and possesses range land for
cattle and sheep in "a thousand hills
and it is nothing less than crime to
blackmail, and be a party 10 retard
the progress of such a promising
state. Our homes are here, our in
| terests are here, all we have in the
world is here, and right here and
now let us resolve and demand that
we do all in our power to see that we
are properly and truthfully advertis'
| ed, that we will fight for the right,
and resent the wrong"
1.-THE gentleman is here in our
midst and has been talking to our
people. Some of our own boys have
made charges against thin in his re
presentations of Utah and the Nor
mon people. Let him now stand up
and tell us whether he made these
| alleged statements, and If he did, give
us the reasons for making them. III
he did, it is due us that we know
from him whether he is still of the
same opinion, and If he is not, it is
! due us that he say so, and give us
from his own mouth the statement
that he will do so no more. Let us
| be tolerant and charitable. and lis
ten. and demand respectful considera.
ton from all in their respectable call'
ings, and in the interests of Utah and
our people; let us demand the same
consideration for ourselves"
! In rebuttal the reverend gentle
man took the previous speakers In
their order, but preceded his remarks
| by reading a verse or two from the
"Beattitudes blessed are the peace
makers" etc After talking at length,
during which time he practically
made blanket denial of all charges,
regular battery of questions com
| menced and for some time the gentle
man was busy answering them, At
| times the questions came so thick
and fast and he was hemmed by the
4
| great crowd of five hundred, that It
| was little too close for comfort. But
not once did he take an emphatic
! stand to answer the question pointed
| ly adhering to the line of argument.
For instance, In answering Messrs.
| Flinders and Stewart he demanded
date, time and place of lectures, state
ments, etc, and when the boys were
unable to give it exactly, he pro
nounced the evidence damaging, and
denied the charges The sum and sub.
stance of the argument was certain
| specific charges by Messrs, Flinders.
Zundel and Stewart, with tracts. etc,
submitted, followed by an evasive
blanket denial by Mr.. Nutting. So
the people can take their choice
as to whom they believe-Mr. Nutting
or three Mormon boys from Utah.
