I But how can a straight Republican ' ticket bo voted unless there is- a straight i Republican ticket to vote? i Throughout the campaign, Brother Cutler will be strongly opposed to the u of any church Influence for his op ponent. jr I If Judge Parker were not already a silent man, the Vermont election re f turns would doubtless tend to makehlm l speechless1. v "Democratic campaigners did very good work in Vermont by stirring up the Republicans and causing them to get out to vote. I' Being Democrat?, the delegates in to I day's State convention will probably f not see any of, the best opportunities of fered the gathering. Perhaps Brother Cutler feels that It wojjid be a sufficient honor for him, 1 f under the circumstances, to have mere f ly the name of Governor. ' t. Brother" Roberts doesn't want to run J for Governor. He is too devout a man to seek to Interfere with the plans for the election of Brother Cutler. While there may not be anything j worth" fighting over in today's State convention, surely it will be Democratic i enough to have a few rows. I While considering the baneful influ I ence of Smootlsm in the Republican , convention, will Democrats feel sure to j day that It Is not operating in their ' own? . All Republicans will ake -pleasure fn voting for those nominated by the7 State Republican convention thoso noml , nated fpr Presidential electors, as amended. ' 1 Friends of Mr, Moylc wish to call the 1 attention of anyone reeking a dark horse for the Democratic' nomination j ! lor Governor, to the color of their1 can- dldate's hair. i Ii - , 1 Chairman. .Spry Is quoted as saying that Mormon Democrats will vot for ' j Brother Cutler. As Chairman Spry , does not have to be consistent, he aleo says thatj there, Is no church Interfer fc j ence. Mr. ,Heber S. "Wells had no .'doubt ''prospected the prospects" when he . showed such apathy toward becoming a candidate for Governor. No one under . otands better than he the fact that there i arc depths beneath depths, j It Is Incomprehensible why the Chi- cago strikers should vote, more than ten to one, In favor of continuing the j strike against the packers. The strike, J eo far as appears, Is irretrievably lost, j ( and tho strikers In other towns so rc - 1 gard It, and return to work, while even I i In Chicago a thousand of the strikers I I went to work. And as a matter of fact, there Is no strike left. ' i . . I. - ! Mr. Spry, the chairman of the State I Republican committee, Is hardly a'coji- ) detent talker. After his admission that he had promised Mr. Clegg to help make ' J , Clegg tho unanimcyi9 nominee' to the . State Senate If he would promise to op pose Kearns, It was a bad break for him j! to give out for publication a statement i ;i I that "we had no part In the Senatorial matter that was none of our business." f j , If he feU the latter, he should not have , j done the former. A man fhou1di alwayB j t, etandby his acts and make his words I 1 conform to them In this matter Mr. j( i Spry convicts himself. H' j'' Tho Chinese Minister to this country la also the Chinese Minister to Mex- i lco, nnd he . views without protest a Hj' singular state of affairs In our neigh- HL f boring republic to the south. He says Hj ' -; that In Mexico many Chinamen have Hj J become full-fledged Mexican citizens, have cut off their cues, adopted tho Hl native dress,' and are marrying Mexl- can wives. An eastern contemporary H( notes this with approval, nnd seems to Hl , ' regret that we don't allow the Chlna- Jjjg r men to lnvado the United Slates In tho same way. It was for tho very reason that we don't want the Irruption of Chinamen on any terms that tho ex clusion laws were passed and are en forced. Tho Chinamen as a confessed evident Chinaman, Is bad enough: tho Chinaman disguised and as a- citizen would bo intolerable. THE NEW MOVEMENT IN POLITICS. I '" A movement springing from a deep popular discontent with the intrusion of tllo Mormon church leaders Into pol itics, andpartlcularly their action In forcing tho election of Apostle Reed Smoot as a United States Senator from Utah and his assumption of the posi tion of political boss In this State, took definite form last night. At a meeting of a considerable number of represen tative men It was resolved to form ari organization In the nature of a political party to resist that church intrusion and domination, and to strlko for tho complete separation of church and state In Utah. No one could have- attended that meeting without being Impressed with tho earnestness and enthusiasm mani fested, and the determination expressed to strike for the actual Instead of the nominal spread oC American feeling, sentiment, and practice In Utah, ns these exist in communities elsewhere. Convinced that tho sb-cniled division on party lines Is and has been a sham and a fraud, a trap for loyal people which would cripple any effort they mlfhl rUrmnewl in mnVfA tn redeem the State from the deplorable condition of servitude to the Mormon church into which it 'has fallen; seeing that condi tions In this respect are getting worse Instead of better, and realizing that the only way to right a wrong is to expose and denounce. It, thosp taking part In this movement have resolved to strike the blow for breaking the shackels of this people, and to keep striking until the voters are indeed free from tho evil domination and thralldom in which they have been and are held. Ywth this movement The Tribune Is in hearty accord. It will support It with Its might, and with loyal fidelity to the end. All It asks of Its fellow workers in this cause Is that they will also stand by it with equal earnestness, activity and fidelity. It does not doubt in the least that they will do so. Their expression on this point at the meeting last night was too enthusiastic, deter mined, and whole-hearted to bo doubted for a mortTent. This new movement Is, therefore, for mally launched. It will draw to Itself the hearty support of all the outspoken loyalty in Utah. It will be supported quietly by vast numbers who do not care to make an open warfare. That It will attract thousands of Mormons who wish to be fre. and who wilL hcjpe that this movement will point the way, cannot be doubted. The purpose declared Is a single, one. It disavows all others. That the need of such a movement Is great la, as cer tain' as thaf the time Is ripe; for starting it. The purpose Is to put a complete ticket In tho field at the ensuing elec tion, and to Invite to the support of the principles it represents, every voter who wishes to see the political arena In Utah made something different from an apostolic ring. The cause Is Just; it must prevail. Speed the day for Its final and complete triumph! ! THE CONFESSION IS COMPLETc. At a private conference In this city on " Tuesday evening In Senator Kearns's office and participated In at the request of the Republican State committee by the Senator and Mr., LIppman of, The Tribune, no definite results wore reached, but the ground was gone over pretty thoroughly, and the animus of the members of tho com mittee against tho Senator was ad mitted. The members of the committee who were present, i;avo a report" of the meeting to the Herald, the Democratic organ, showing thereby their desire to make whatever breach thero may be, complete, and to emphasize their deter mination to press forward on apostolic lines, ignoring polltlcn, Tho Tribune was not anxious to expose the animus of the committee, nor to emphasize the differences that exist; and besides, It understood the meeting to bo a private one, and was willing to respect any de sire for privacy. But In this report which tho commit tee gave out for publication there Is a complete confession of every allegation of church pwer to control, and also of the church' purpose to do so. Read this from a statement madp by Mr. Spry, chairman of the committee: "Where they get one of tho old Lib erals away from U3 here in town, we will get two Mormon Democrats from them in the country." Thnt shows emphatically and con clusively that the Mormon vbto Is nt the disposal of the church, and. that It Is the purpose of the church to use Its power In the present campaign to de tach two Mormona from the Democrat ic party to every Gcntllo who may re fuse to vote for Cutler. No confession could bo mora com plete. It admits not only tho power of the church to control Us adherents In pol itics, but its habit of doing so, and Its purpose to do so In this campaign. What further evidence on this point Is needed, especially when taken In con nection with facto that are notorious, and with events that have recently stirred the State to Its depths, through out all of Its boundaries? The cliurch will elect Cutler by de taching enough Mormon Democrats from their alleged Domocratlc affilia tion, to elect Cutler, and defeat the Democratic candidate. It is a pleasant prospect for the Dem ocrat who Is to be nominated by the Democrats today, Is It not? In view of this declaration by Mr. Spry, In continuation' of tho Influences that have controlled the politics of this State since Statehood, wo ask tho peo ple how tboy like It. Especially do we ask the Democrats who are to( meet today, it appears, in a mock State convention, How do you like ! It? j The menace to tho people Is open; It Is declared. Let all the people tako note of It, and make up their minds what they will do In this severe crisis In the po litical affairs of Utah. SMOOTH MR. SMOOT, AS SMOOT. "Would Ciftler havo been a candidate, If It had not hoen for Smoot? No. Would Cutler have been nominated', If It had not been for Smoot? Not this year. ' t Would the bishops have worked for Cutler, if It bad not been for Smoot? Not without a salary. Would tho Mormon church influence have been for Cutler, If It had not been for Smoot? Guess. Would the Mormon church Influence have been for Cutler, If Smoot had not been an apostle? Don't you believe It. Would the bishops have worked for Cutler, If Smoot had not been an apos tle? Ask them. Would the delegates have voted for Cutler in convention, if the orders had not come through the bishops of the church from an apostle? Not by a Jug full. Would Cutler havo been a candidate, If Smoot had not been an apostle? Not In a hundred years. Would Cutler ever have been heard of' In politics. If Smoot had not been an apostle? Never. ' Could any ono less powerful In the Mormon church than an apostle, have done what Smoot has done? Not on your life. Then what does all this mean? It means that Smoot as Smoot, Is a colossal nonetlty. It means that Smoot as an apostle, represents all the power of the Mormon church, because Smoot "as an apostle can't do anything without the aid and consent of tho Mormon church. It means that the- Mormon church, through Smoot, one of the twelve apos tles, deliberately violated all tho sacred pledges given to secure Statehood for Utah; openly entered the political field, nominated a church ticket and spilt the Republican party wide open Jn Utaji. , There was no way that Smoot ns Smoot could have done this, and there tno way that Smoot ns an apostle )uld have done it, without the aid and consent of the Mormon church. The Mormon church must keep out of politics. The solemn vows gTVcn for Statehood must be kept. There is one way to do it, and that Is to repudiate Smoot, not as Smoot, but as the apostle. If the church doisn't do this, the Mormons of Utah are up against It and so Is Smoot, as Smoot and as the apostle. THE RESULT IN VERMONT. ; Tho returns from the election held In Vermont on Tuesday are full of cheer for the Republicans. Their majority Is over 31.000, and reaching pretty well along toward 32,000. This is practically, In the light of tho past, a guarantee of the success of tho Republican general campaign this year. It has been said that Vermont, while a steadfast Republican State, Is a barometer of tho public sentiment of the country. This barometer Is on tho scale of a zero mark bf 25.000 Republi can majority; when that majority falls below 25,000 at the State election In Sep tember, the country Is liable to gd Democratic; when It goes materially above It, tho Republican triumph Ib' sure at the ensuing election in Novem ber. Here is a statement of the Repub lican majorities. In Vermont In tho Presidential year for the past six quad rennial periods: 1000 31,312 1SR8 2S03 lCTR SS,671 1SS4 23.S35 12 10.702 1SS0: 2G.CC3 t It will be noted that? but twice In the twenty-four years has' the Republican -majority fallen below 25,000.1 In one of these years, 1S92, It was but 19,702. and that year there was a veritable land slide for Cleveland and the Democracy Cleveland getting 277 of the electoral votes to Harrison's 11G, and the Democ racy elected 214 Representatives In Congress, to the Republicans 12S. The other time that the Republican majority fell below 25,000 was In 1SS4, when It was 23,838. That year Clove- ! land won by a very narrow margin, the result hinging on Now York, which I was given to him by the small plurality I of 1047 over Blaine, and the Democrats elected 182 Representatives In Congress to the Republicans 140. The Democrats had great hopes of re ducing the Republican majority In Ver mont this year to 25,000 or below. They canvassed and slumped tho Slate as I new, before, and they were treated to the surprise of Uielr lives. They admit that they had not considered such a tremendous Republican majority possi ble, and. arc correspondingly depressed. Vermont's political barometer shown that It Is a cold year for them. On the othor hand tho Republicans ard correspondingly clntcd. They had a surprise, top, In a majority the greatest, save onoe, In twenty-four years, during a Presidential campaign, nnd far above the average. It Is a sig nificant and cheering sign of tho times. FEWER CLOTHES FOR ARMY OFFICERS From the Pittsburg Dispatch. There Are several hundred young army officers who will read with delight that tho Inspector General Is of tho opinion thnt the amount of clothing re qulrcdpf each officer by tho regulations Is excessive. Ho thinks the required uniforms can be reduced from seven to two. That Beems reasonable. Most men manage to get along on two suits of clothing or two general etyleB, one for common and ono for best, with. In some caocs, a dress suit added. Tho cost Is not so great to the average man, but to the ofllcor It Is a matter of Im portance. t has been stated over and over again in publications entitled to respect that no young man can enter the servlco without $700 worth of cloth ing, nnd he Is lucky if his annual ex penses on this account do riot reach 5500 ft S.
