ever held in the city of Ogden took place
IN the Grand opera house yesterday after
noon. Shortly afternoon, the Ogden City
band and the Citizens drum corps ap-
peared on the streets and began discours
ing familiar campaign airs.
At 30 o'clock an immense crowd began
pouring into the magnificent temple of art.

pit to dome. The Liberal rally of the night
before did not hold candle to this meet
ing IN the way of numbers. Fully one

WITHOUT REGARD TO RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
or party affiliations. Cheers
MIR. Ridgely then read the principles and
platform of the Citizens party, being ap-
plauded many times, after which the chair
man said: We have been accused of being
tenderfeet, but we have among US and on
our ticket such men as w. w. Funge and
our worthy candidate for mayor. w. n
Turner, who have lived in Ogden MANY
years and thoroughly understand the
wants of the people. We deny that auy
party or any set of candidates can DESTROY
the prosperity of Ogden city The Citi-
zens' party stands for progress, which is
the reason 1t came to its present existence.
