{, 000 / want to say a word to my
friend Judge Harris about street paw
ing
The judge said the Liberals had pro-
vided sidewalks so that we now could
walk the streets in patent leather
shoes. The trouble is we haven't got
the patent leather shoes and on ac-
count of the Liberal stealings We
haven't got the money to buy them.
What we want to know is where
has the money gone which wasn't used
for street paving and public improve
ments. In old times people would have
said it was stolen, now 1 believe we
say it was disbursed on expense ac-
count. But we won't have any more
of it.
We. will treat the Liberal party as
the lion treated the skunk which bit
the king of beasts when he was asleep.
We will crush it with our feet and
there will be left only a spot in the
sand and some stencil.
Now on Tuesday let us put an end
to the Liberal party; let us show them
that they cannot steal the peoples
money with impunity.
What kills the Liberal party is that
they have not the old gang to do the
There will be no train
loads of hobos coming in to vote and
to GUST honest citizens. After Tues
day there will be no more Liberal par
ty in all the territory of Utah.
GRANT. H. SMITH
was the next speaker. He said:
The parade of tonight and this gath
ering shows beyond a doubt that the
Citizens will be successful. It was a
spontaneous uprising, this parade,
there was no preparation, only two
days invitation was given to the peo-
pie and they came. In few days now
this unrest will be over and we will
appear with victory on our brows.
We trust that it will not be long be-
fore we can meet in politics here in
Utah as they meet everywhere else.
The Citizens have inaugurated the
watch words, Municipal Reform"
The Liberals have taken it up and al
lege that there have been no abuses in
their party, that the people have had
full value for all the money spent.
You are the judges and will give your
decision on Tuesday.
The Citizens ticket is one which COM
mands the respect of every honest
man. 1t is made up of thorough going
business men who will do credit to the
city. From Mayor Baskin down there
has not been a mistake on the ticket.
w. w. TAYLOR,
president of the Afro-American club,
said: Although SO much has been said
of the Liberal party and it's misdeeds,
the half has not been told. could tell
how the Liberal party has treated my
race. That treatment has been such
that nine-tenths of us will support the
Citizens ticket. A wise man changes
his opinion, a fool never. We have been
voting the Liberal ticket; now we are
playing the part of the wise men and
changing. The colored people got no
recognition from the Liberals. They
could not even get a days work on
the streets. The Citizens party is the
first that has given the Afro-American
the recognition from the body polite
to which he is entitled. The Afro
Americans are a loyal and brave class
of citizens and we feel sure that with
Mayor Bas5in and the rest of the Cit
liens ticket elected they will get fair
play. Whether victory or defeat awaits
the Citizens ticket we will vote it
straight on Tuesday.
ARTHUR PRATT,
the future marshal, said: I believe
with Mayor Baslzin that the time for
speaking is past. I wish to say that ]

and law-loving citizen that if [ am

war with respectable saloon keepers
The city grants them license to carry
on their trade and they have a right
to be protected. The gambling hells
and the dives must go, and at the end
of my two years of office there will
be fewer hobos in Salt Lake to vote
the Citizens ticket.
C. L. ROOD
next addressed the meeting and said
in part: The Liberals say the sup
porters of the Citizens ticket are all
bankers. Now Salt Lake city must
have more bankers. than any city in
the country, judging from the number
of supporters the ticket has That is
the reason we have weathered the
financial gale so successfully

associates assembled a little while age

nickel, and not 100000 and out pops

Another campaign song, entitled

The Liberals smell the dust and soon will

They're fearful of the pext election DAY.
The Liberals now have run their race. and all
