The real objection to Smoot / Keppler.
Summary:
Illustration shows an old man labeled “Mormon Hierarchy”, wearing a coat of stitched together fragments of cloth labeled “Polygamy, Mormon Rebellion, Resistance to Federal Authority, Blood Atonement, Murder of Apostates, [and] Mountain Meadow Massacre”, standing outside the door to the “U.S. Senate” and placing a puppet labeled “R. Smoot” inside the Senate chamber. Contributor Names: Keppler, Udo J., 1872-1956, artist Created / PublishedN.Y. : J. Ottmann Lith. Co., Puck Bldg., 1904 April 27.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has practiced a doctrine of theirs called “Blood Atonement.” In Blood Atonement, they exercise a “right” “given to them by God,” to spill the blood and murder members of the church who resign from it and leave it as I have. What you have seen tonight with the three violent troublemakers who all got on the same bus as me, nearly all at the same time, was attempted Blood Atonement that was perpetrated against me by the Mormon Church.
