But specie pyimma had bean resumed :
without dlsay, despite democratic !

been on the gold standard.

I the delegation representing the gentile
element in Utah wlw :uv lKfre to op.

In his appeal to admit, disfranchised

I a. full citizen of the United Sti'.ju as
by the constitution he must be to be

i constitution of L'tali could not restore
j him to federal citizenship and the en-
aiding act did not do it.
Robcrlb says ha has net be mi con-

Many nentlrrKintAj peupk are bcl.ig
mlsk-d by some of Itoberta' very lg-n-lous
suggestions, from which It la in
ferred that ho took hU polygamous
wives when it was lawful to do . This
Is a mistake. Adultery was a crime In
Utah when Rooeru was born. His
plea for sympathy, therefore, amounts
only to this, that be should be allowed
to continue his) criminal practices not
withstanding lie took his polygamous
wives in defiance of the taw. We de
mand that b should support hla fam
ines but also demand that he shall
cease the begvttlng of further illegiti
mate offsprings.
We disclaim any detare to Have him
declared Ineligible betteuse Im Is at
Mormon, but solely because he is Vio
lating und defying the laws of our
state, the United State and of common
decency.
As evident- that the compact be-j
twwn thr Urabud SCaus end the state
of Utah has been broken, the answer!
points out that in Utah 100 Illc-ariUrnato
chiklim have b.-an bom to piHjgamouf
wives sitioe statehood. And that about
2.KJ0 polygamous households now extt
in Utah and thut attempt to secure the
punishment, of them offender Is de

are especially displeased with the pros
