120 years ago today - Nov 4, 1893

[Apostle Franklin D. Richards Diary] Politics are all the rage at present The people with one terrible stroke are trying to break off the shackles and yoke which Liberalism has for the last four years fastened upon Ogden and Salt Lake City. In Ogden the Liberals have hauled down their colors & closed headquarters & now the struggle is with them and the citizens of SL City. The Territory is between Democrats and Republicans.
