government lays upon him, after in
forming himself upon any question of
policy or government, to act politically
as his best individual judgment would
direct, absolutely free from coercion,
control Or dictation. Having politi-
cal intelligence and convictions, he
also has the courage of his convictions
and would speak his sentiments with
an untrsmelled voice though menaced
by as many devils as there are tiles
ugou the roofs of the houses. He
would never permit his political voice and
action to be distorted, or turned aside
from what he deemed the right by
the manipulation of others, but IN spite
of all would see to it that the force
of his individuality is comingled
with that of his fellow citizens Tor
condensation or assistance, that the
resultant might be the greatest good
to the State and 10 the people. No
craven no serft, is he the true Demo
Graf. He walks with a resolute bear
ing and speaks with a manly voice.
He does not shamble with a borrowed
gait. What lie claims for himself rs
freely accords to others and he has
more respect for the courageous foe
than for the sup. int wretch who
might seek to beef me his tool. He has
a soul of courage, but also imbued
with magnanimity. In the strength
of his manhood h can we'll afford to
be tolerant. even OF the intolerant. Ii
We turn our eyes upon history we
might see the typical Democrat in
Athens-that wonderful city, full
of Notwithstanding the Aero
polls, to engage in an il
telilgent participation in affairs
OF elt-Zovernment. If, then, the voice
of the people was not the voice of God,
it was the omnlpotent voice. These
Democrats ruled their city as they ruled
themselves. Thus every citizen grew
into the statesman. Through their in
telligence and freedom those Democrats
achieved the greatest success in all that
administer to the comfort and pros
perity of man. Their energy and in
telligent activity could not be confined
within the limit of a single city, but
reached out into distant lands. The
barbsrians and serfs of despotic gov
eminent paid tribute to the glory and
prosperity of Democratic AIhens. 1t
Is impossible to measure the Indebted
ness of modern art, civilization and
government to the Democracy of this
ancient city. For good government,
therefore. We need but race of Demo-
Gratis. and the speaker knew that Utah
would yet stand as solid Democracy.
He closed by asking all Democrats to
vote for the present Democratic nOmi-
nee-the Hon s. r. Thurman.

did not come to speak. but came to lis
ten to good, sound Democratic doc-
trine, such as had been given by the
previous speakers. He was Democrat
aud proposed to stand upon that plat
form; had been brought up like others
before him. not posted in Democracy,
but so far as he did understand the TWO
platforms of the great parties he had
chosen the Democratic Party, and be
lieved it would work out oar political
salvation. For the first time we are to
have a chance to identify ourselves
with Democratic party, and he hoped
all would cast their vote for the nomi
nee Of that party.
THE PLATFORM
of the Territorial Democracy was read
by W. G. A. Smoot, Jr., and was quite
enthusiastically received.
