The First Gun Fired at MIL Creek
Last Night.
The first gun of the Democratic cam
paign was fred last night at Mill
Creek.
A call was issued by President Tay-
lor. of the Mill Creek Democratic club.
early in the week, which brought out
an enthusiastic crowd from the sur
rounding country. Many Republicans
were present on invitation to learn the
principles of Democratic teaching. The
speakers of the occasion were Hon.
Farley L. Williams and Secretary b. L.
Lloyd, Of the Territorial Democratic
committee, and by 8 o'clock the seats
in the ward house were well filled and
the meeting was called to order, by
President Taylor, who stated that as
the speakers had to return to town on
an early car he would not take up
much time, but he had a few sugges-
tons to make which were that cam
paign committee be elected and that
they proceed at once to getting the peo-
pie together and organizing for bust
ness A motion was carried that the
committee be elected, and 7. G. Boan,
George Taylor, Sam Cornwall, Charles
E. Bolton and Joseph R. Carlisle were
successfully nominated and elected as
it's members.
B. 7. LLOYD
was then introduced by President Tay-
lor, and said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
We don't intend to be idle; in fact the
committee is at work in a quiet way.
If you see nothing in the newspapers
don't be alarmed, for we are not max
ing public our actions. There are no
sluggards in the Democratic party; they
are all up and doing, and will fight for
principle. We don't want undecided
shifting members; we want men of con-
victions; and those of you who stay
with the party will not regret it.
There have been various causes
which have led up to the present de-
pressed condition Of things and the
Democrats are not responsible for it.;
in fact, it is not due to political causes
In 1890 the Mckinley law went into eff
feet Before that time there had not
been fictitious values placed upon most
of our imports, but since that time
prices have been higher for the benefit
of the few.
When the Republicans Disseminated
against England she naturally discrim-
mated against America. She went else
where for products; such as pork, po-
tatoes, wheat etc. ,sand our farmers had
no market for their supplies.
The United States is not to be blamed
d,
lis the Democratic party to be blamed
for the existing hard, times, which, if
here, cannot be attributed to any other
party than the Republicans. ZAP

There is not the centralized wealth
and serfdom in any country under the
sun that there would be here if the
Republicans were to have power They
have been fostering these millionaires
that have increased their wealth I'M
der the Republican system. Uncle Sam
has been an indulgent father to them
and they have been spoiled. 1 cannot
go into detail for lack of time, there
fore l will give place to my friend, Mr.
Williams.
HON. P. L. WILLIAMS
said: 1t afforded me pleasure to drive
down in these beautiful suburbs and
explain to you the principles to which
adhere. You are in the midst of
your summer work and the day is
the time for you to reap your harvest
therefore l know you are tired and /
will not detain you long. 1 am adj
monished that there are some Repub-
licans here. I am glad of it. The pro
gress towards truth is made by ali the
people. A man cannot feel that lie is
always right until he has heard all
that can be said against him. Reason
must justify all DISCUSSIONS, and DEM
ocratic principles will appeal to the
people who have a duty to perform.
