Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Reference: To the History, Chronology, Religion and Country of the Latter-Day Saints, Including the Revelation on Celestial Merriage; For the Use of Saints and Strangers In the year 1882, strenuous efforts were being made by federal office-holders, ministers and others in this territory to spread a feeling antagonistic to the majority of the citizens here. Some adverse legislation was secured, more was wanted. In their strong desire to force inimical enactments, some of the emissaries, who had been sent east by the minority, allowed their eagerness to run away from their veracity; and as a melancholy result, their statements and the truth became at times widely separated. A very prominent official, one who was commissioned and paid a liberal salary by the United States to perform certain duties in this dependency, was one of the several persons who left their posts to accomplish the speedy overthrow of a large body of their fellow-citizens of the republic. This gentleman held numerous coversations in the east, and was reported at length by several newspapers. One of his strong and frequently reiterated statements was substantially as follows: "The female suffrage act in Utah was a scheme forced by the Mormon hierarchy, in order to perpetuate their political power through a numerical preponderance at the ballot box. Under this act a Chinese girl, 14 years old, imported to Utah and made the concubine of a Mormon, could the day after arrival, vote at elections." Now this was a strong, a violent assertion and should have been backed by proof positive. The man who made the statement had been sworn to perform his official duties here, and one of those duties was certainly to acquaint himself with the important laws of the commonwealth in which he had almost absolute legislative sway. Yet the assertion was untrue in these vital particulars: 1. - The female suffrage act was not a scheme forced by the Mormon hierarchy.
