At the Democratic Meet

come Established in Ma
tionaI Politics.

A. D. Cash in the chair.
The chairman stated that the object
of the meeting was to arrange for a
Democratic rally in Provo for the
county. He also reminded those pre-
sent that the present organization had
no desire to antagonize any previous
organization of Democratic nature,
but that all we're welcome, and would
be hailed into the ranks with pleas
ure.
Calls were then made for Judge
Judd, when that gentleman came for
ward and made rousing Democratic
speech. He showed that Utah had
never had any politics in the truest
sense of the word, but that it had been
Il local strife. When the present De-
legate to Congress referred to the
Liberal and Peoples parties in Utah,
it took all his time to make the states
men there understand what that
meant. So that Utah has suffered, so
far as public recognition is concerned.
through this antagonism. Now, how
ever, she had the opportunity of being
recognized by the whole nation. Some
were trying to make capital out of the
fact that the majority of the Mormons
were Democrats. But he had found
out, in organizing Democratic clubs,
that good many were Republicans.
He wanted to see his Republican
friends organize and get to work, and
obtain all the membership they could,
because if they didn't they would
find themselves left, as the Democrats
were going to keep up this work until
the object of their mission was ac-
complished. He did not care what
religion Democrat belonged to He
would extend the hand Of fellowship
to all the Mormon Church if they
were Democrats. A mans religious
belief made no difference to him. He
did not want, however, to see any
man tear himself away from any party
and join the present move unless he
was ready.
Judge Dusenberry followed with a
neat speech, il which he said the or
ganization of Utah politics On national
lines was something he had been con-
tending Tor for years. Some time ago
when move was made to perfect
Democratic organization for Utah,
people said, sit is not time!" Now
after lapse Of years, when another
move is made for a Democratic organ
ization they still say, ut is not time'
And two of the papers in Utah, one Of
them published in this city, and
known somewhat as the Enquirer,
joins IN this hue and cry, and says:
Its not time!n Now, would like to
know when the d. the time will
come? | claim to have as much intel
ligence and am as we'll informed as the
average editor, ard say it was time
years ago, and would have been better
for Titan had it been done, for then
when we wanted to be heard in Con-
gress, there would have been some one
anxious to hear US. AS it is now it
takes all the time to enquire and had
out what the two parties know ASH
Liberal and People are.
D. D. Houtz was loudly called for,
and he responded by saying that he
had been a Democrat all his life. He
was pleased that ali organization was
now made that would secure Utah
public recognition. He thought it
would be the best thing that ever hap
pened for Utah, to divide on party
lines and let the national parties
know where we stood.
Architect Lund said the first time he
ever came to Utah was thirteen years
ago, but he could not stay here be-
cause he was Democrat, and he
wanted to cast his lot with them. He
therefore went to California. where lie
had the privilege of voting for presi-
Dental candidates, and working with
the Democratic cause. He now comes
back to Utah, and finds Democrats
breaking loose from the local
parties and organizing, and lie came
to cast his lot with them and continue
his work. He wanted to see all Dem
ocrats join and help along the good
work, and if there were any who felt
wronged, he would willingly yield the
position he held in the present organ
ization. All he wanted was harmony,
and the success of the party.
Oscar B. Young, VIM. Probert and
G. A. Conkling made some remarks,
The meeting then decided to hold a
county rallylon the last Saturday in
March and the chairman was en-
powered to appoint the necessary
committees to attend to the work.
