After the chairman had stated the
objects of the meeting, o. j. Anderson,
editor of the Bikuben, started the ball
a-rolling by declaring emphatically
that every Scandinavian should see
that his vote was cast for the Citi-
zens' ticket. (Applause)
J. c. SANDBERG
made a strong speech excoriating the
Liberal party which brought forth a
great deal of applause and enthus-
asm. He said that the Liberals say
that there is money in the treasury
but the men have seen the city war
rants in the pawn shops and have
worked for the city with warrants in
their hands who could not get food or
had to sell their scrip for a discount
DE said that the citizens do not want
the improvements to stop but want
their money spent judiciously. If it
nad been spent judiciously in the past
four years there would be no need of
having an empty treasury and the re-
putation of being a boodle-looted
town. The citizens do not want to
have 1t necessary for a workingman
10 get Slip from a saloon keeper be-
lore he can get work in the city de-
partnents. The speaker, pointing to
Mr.. Baskin, said that there sat a

Backman. he said, has grown up with
the community and is an able and
man. There was no
need of asking for votes for him. Mr.

and able and it was vouched for that

MAYOR BAsKIN
was introduced. He spoke of the
sturdy honesty of the Scandinavian
people and said that they are making
good American citizens. If they prove
recreant to the trust imposed upon
.hem they are not good American cit
lzens. They should seek for honesty
in politics as we'll as in business.
When public men prove recreant to
the trust imposed upon them the par
" which put them in power
should be censured by defeat
ing it at the polls. If there are
men in the present city government
who have not been true. then the mar
" should be rebuked. The speaker
said it has become the duty of every
cltlzen to look up the records and see
Where responsibility rests. If it rests
upon him he did not want one
vote, but if it rests upon the Liberal
party then it should be showed un-
der so deep that it will never more
be heard Of
AT the conclusion of the speech three
rouslng cheers and a tiger were given
for the next mayor of Salt Lake.
PROFESSOR VINCENT
was called upon for a speech and
spoke of the Scandinavians as Ameri-
can citizens. He compared Mayor Bas-
KIN to Gustavus Adolphus and said

bearer for the honest citizens Of Salt
Lake than the present mayor.

Anderson and Mrs. M. Christy, the
