Circular to the public, 26 March 1892
DECLARATION. As rumors have been circulated and published, accusing the Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints with interference in politi- cal affairs, so as to control elections and to direct members of the Church as to which political party they should sup- port, we hereby declare these rumors to be false and without foundation in fact. We emphatically deny that we, or either of us, authorized Mr. George F. Gibbs or any other person or persons to use our names so as to influence citizens to vote the Republican ticket, at Logan or elsewhere. If our names have been used in any such way, it has been entirely without permission from us, and we hereby condemn it as wrong and re- prehensible. If we have any desire in this matter it is that the people of this Territory shall study well the prin- ciples of both the great national par- ties, and then choose which they will join, freely, voluntarily and honestly, from personal conviction, and then stand by it in all honor and sincerity. Each party should have the same rights, privileges and opportunities as the other. If any man claims that it is the wish of the First Presidency that a Democrat shall vote the Republican ticket, or a Republican the Democra- tic ticket, let all people know that he is endeavoring to deceive the public and has no authority of that kind from us. We have no disposition to direct in these matters, but proclaim that, as far as we are con- cerned, the members of this Church are entirely and perfectly free in all political affairs. But they should not indulge in in ill-feeling or personalities. President George Q. Cannon is absent, but we are sure that if he were here he would sign this declaration with us. WILFORD WOODRUFF, JOSEPH F. SMITH, Of the Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
