REPUBLICAN RALLY
On Thursday evening, June IS, the

by having the Silver band serenade the
town in their grand chariot with fam
ing streamers on the side, carrying the
mottos Republican Platform and
Protection to our Home Industries. "
The meeting in the Lehi Opera House
was called to order by Mr.. /. D. Wines,

man, and Mr.. c. A. Granger secretary.
Mr.. Jas. Sharp, Ex-Mayor OF Salt Lake
city was the first speaker, after reading
the address OF the Central committee
to the People OF Utah, Mr., Sharp pro-
ceedeed to state that the address con-
tanned some of the reasons why he was
Republican. 1t has been said by some
that Republicanism was only another
name for Liberals, this is a mistake and
there is nothing in Mormonism to pre-
vent man being Republican and
nothing in Republicanism to prevent a
man IRON being good Latter-day Saint
The people we're asked to thoroughly in
vestigate the principles and history OF
both parties and then join the one that
appears to them to be right. There
are many good citizens who are Demo-

Democracy was started in 1901 by
Thomas jefferson and lasted until 1861,
when the party went out OF power in
confusion. The Republicans came in
and brought order out OF chaos, and
prosperity out OF disorder. Republican
ism does not tend to monarchy as is
sometimes charged. The doctrine Of
Republicanism is positive, we stand up
and face every question that comes up,
we are united. We believe in the right
OF nation to step in and do work in
a state OF the union that should be for
the good OF the state. Owing to the iso-
lated situation OF Utah she could not
exist with free trade as owing to circum-
stances, she can never be an agricul-
tural state, but must depend more upon
the development OF our resources, viz
Mining Manufacturing, Woolgrowing,
etc. The crops OF our farmers must be
consumed at home, we cannot afford to
have to pay heavy freight before we can
market our products Republicans
want facts and not theories.
Mr.. J, w. Whitecotton, of Provo, was
the next TO take the floor, in very
amusing speech, he handled the tariff
and other questions in very mastery
manner.
John NJ. Zane. son Of Chief Justice
Zane, in very forcible speech dilated
at large upon the various questions OF
tariff, central government, etc, followed
by j. C. Graham, OF the Provo Enquirer,
who made but few remarks, the hour
being late.
The Silver band and Glee club rend-
cred the musical part Of the proceedings
in a very pleasing manner. a local
Republican meeting for the purpose OF
organizing club was announced to take
place Monday next in the Lehi Opera
House
