RALLY AT GARFIELD
The Liberal Drum Corps Fur
nishes a Nice Outing.
ALL HAD AN ENJOYABLE TINE
The Bathing Was so Delightful That Only {
Few Old Women Listened to
the Speeches

The boys Of the Liberal drum corps pro-
vided q very pleasant days outing at Gar
field beach
The weather was delightful, the sun not
excessively hot and the water just the
thing. The attendance was not Is large as
on Sundays. allowing all those desiring to
battle bath room all to themselves. The
crowd was orderly and sober, the buns
having had the good sense to stay at home.
The boys of the drum corps were conspicu-
Gus in their red uniforms as well as in their
attentions to the young ladies.
A hundred or SO OF women hung around
the music platform on the pier waiting to
hear the speeches, but no one seemed to
know anything Of the programme, ami
outside those mentioned they seemed TO
care less.
1t was nearly o'clock when Judge
Powers walked up the pier, which was the
signal for speaking to begin.
Judge Hoge opened the services by an
nouncing that the Liberal party was not
dead. This discovery was very gratifying
TO the female contingent who tapped the
floor with their psrasols in approval.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Eichnor,
he whose name is Dennis, was introduced
as young man who had not been in Utah
before the flood, but who had been here
long enough TO know on which side his
bread 10 buttered. The young attorney
said: 81 am Liberal and have no apollo
gies to make. Dissolution of the Peoples
party is the scepter of statehood"
To his notion the change. just all Of q
sudden, was too thin. "In case q revela-
ton came from the other world, after
Utah was admitted into the union, to
recognize the Peoples party, where
would we be:'' And the young attorney
paused for applause.
The young attorney advised his bearers
to stun the ballot box. Said he: go to
the polls early and If you vote often, try
it."
Judge Hoge next introduced Harry
Hardy, who saw before him an enemy to
his wife, an enemy to his children. No
snakes.
81 saw he said. .'by the Salt Lake
HERALD that invited the boys out to take
a drink. / want to say not dollar Of 1t
was the money of the Church of Jesus
Christ Of Latter Day Saints"
This explanation was very satisfactory
to the feminine gender and MIR. Hardy was
roundly applauded.
o. w. Powers was introduced rs the
only patriot this country ever produced
comparison.
The Judge, noticing that two-thirds of his
hearers were women, advised them to pull
the latchstring in on Monday next until
their husbands had voted the Liberal ticket.
He paid glowing tribute to the members OF
the drum corps styling them the finest
political body OF young men IN America.
They had turned out rain or shine and beat
the music that led from victory to victory.
He saw another victory IN the air. as the
Liberal committee had never received more
assistance from the rank and file than dur
ing this campaign. "The Liberal COM
mittee," he said, ''hsd received q valuable
concession from the Democratic committee
that was OF the utmost Importance, to wit,
the register or VINO has moved out of his
precinct be entitled to vote.'
There was never fairer and squarer
campaign fought than the one that is now
being conducted"
This fine bit OF subterfuge not did even in
spire a grin. He went on: "We told them
that IL they could find Q check that had
purchase votes we would give them 500
for every such offense."
This was also taken seriously.
1--WE cannot afford to celebrate Q victory
won by fraud"
This, too, went down.
Judge Powers then defended the Salt
Lake Tribune, whose attorney he Is.
THE worst slander that has ever been
hurled against the Liberal party has been
that it is founded on hate. There never
wac a more self-sacrihcing party on earth
than the Gentiles who came out of the
states to establish American principle.
would ask for any man to point out where
q Liberal has denied any man the right to
worship God without interference. When
Oh flreaf NnA l.ath
odist church, like the Episcopal church, it
will receive the same privileges.
He closed with the prophecy that Baskin
would go to the council next winter and
then the world will hear something that it
haslnever heard before.
r. n. Baskin raved and CRASHED his
teeth for an hour and gave every ocular
evidence Of q man In q demented state. His
skin was pinched and sallow, his hair dry
and lifeless, his eye sullen and CLASSY and
his gestures wild. Long brooding over
imaginary wrongs has wrought this effect.
The old man should get rest amidst new
scenes and associations.
His speech was the utterance Of Q mad
man.
and he made as sensible speech - Q man
can from his standpoint
With the exception Of Baskiu's effort the
addresses were all uncommonly free from
bitterness, the fresh air having Q good
effect on the temper Of the speakers.
FROM TIE PIER.
Charley Stanton was not in It.
Harry Hardy's oratory is Irrepressible.
1t was a very sober party, for q Liberal
crowd.
Major Erb returned home an unwashed
Liberal.
Baskinian fanaticism is distemper that

Jake Greenewald in q red bathing suit

It was the first time q political party

H. w. Lawrence made some forcibie
speeches on the start, but he il beginning
10 rant
Harry McCallum, who 10 sulking In his
tent. only mingled with the crowd on the
outer edges
There was Q dead calm and holy hush as
the mournful cadences OF the Liberal
speeches swept across the saline sea
Judge Colborn has not forgotten the
manner in which he was sat upon Ut the
Salt Lake theatre and IL keeping num-.
wv. Men il very much swollen over his
appointment to the board Of public works
and couldn't find . bathing suit big enough.
