man, James Sharp and the popular
nominee, the Hon. John t. Game,
the Hon. Judge Desenberry first
reading the platform of the Peoples

in al address replete with telling
"hits" and humor, and corrected an
assertion made by the nominee of

which his remarks we're received
showed that his hearers were in
accord with the sentiments he so

DuSenberry opened with an attack
upon the Liberal platform, which
he belived was made for eXpOrta-

tended to exert an influence in
other places, "Where it would do the
most good" in assisting them-the
Liberal party-in the accomplish

our fair territory. His arguments
We're aptly illustrated with suitable
and telling anecdotes. S. r. Thur

pirate speech showing wheron the
Peoples party were Struggling for
supremacy of constitutional law and
the sacred privilege of local self
government" In the course of his
remarks he referred to what the
Legislature of Utah had done for
woman in regard to tbs franchise,
the right of dover, and of preserv-
ing her identity in married life.
The Honorable delegate was the
next speaker. He made an able ex-
pose of the principles that governed

menace that the leading speakers of
of the party were continually hold

would send him to Washington, but
| the interests OF every citizen of the
Territory, be he of the Liberal or
Peoples party, Pagan or Christian,
Jew or Gentle, all alike would re-
ceive his care and attention.

the Liberal party as to what they
had done for the Territory in devel-
oping its mineral wealth. He
showed that the Peoples party had

vestments by eXempting from taxa

ducts of mines and the ore il the
