Home industry was the watchword
OF her founders. They knew that edu-
cation in every material thing for
BODIED good to the commonwealth. In
dependence in their minds could only
be secured by producing the fruits of
the farm, orchard and factory. The
children of the pioneers were early
imbued with these views of true econ
omy. From the elements they must
gather the materials for their homes
and their adornment- Mills and facto-
ries soon sprang into being. Territorial
aid was given to many enterprises as
public funds increased. grants to build
roads and collect tolls were common
and encouragement freely given to
every improvement.
Mining, milling and smelling soon
followed. The hillsides and valleys
were teeming with wealth and await
ing the magic touch of man.
The tariff standard floats at the
masthead in this inter-mountain re-
gion, intermingling with the emblem
Of liberty, and on their joint folds the
republican star of Utah is seen appear

nearly two Thousand. The late cleo
ton, more than anything else, con-
vinces me that Utah will continue
democratic. The explanation of the
republican majority in the legislature
is found in the fact that the territory
had been outrageously gerrymandered
in the interest of another and anti
democratic party, and when it came to
the division of the voters on national
party lines the gerrymander operated
in the interest of the republicans, who,
with minority of the votes, secured q
majority of members in the assembly.
From careful and reasonably in
telligent survey of the political field,
and basing my opinion upon a fairly
good acquaintance with the people of
the territory, think l can safely say
that Utah will be democratic state.

HEBER N. WELLS

(Mormon), republican,:
From the great initial test OF party
strength among the Mormons which
occurred at the election for delegate
to congress in November, 1892, each
election in Utah has shown the most
phenomenal republican gains. The
division upon party lines of the liberal
or Gentle party which took place
within the past few months has dem
onstrated that about ninety per cent.
Of the nonMormons are republicans.
The legislature. now in session,
elected from all parts of the territory,
has a safe working majority of repub-
Gcans in both houses. A careful esti-
mate based upon the past three cleo
lions gives the relative strength of the
two parties in Utah as follows: Demo
Gratis, 1850: republicans, 1867; a re-
publican majority of 2,77s. The popu-
lation of the territory is perhaps
three-fourths Mormon. They are
pastoral people depending chief
ly upon farming, stock raising
and manufacturing. The same po-
litical arguments which appeal

JUDGE c. c. GOODWIN,

the famous editor of the Salt Lake
Tribune. republican:
OF course am not a prophet, and can
only give belief. The circumstances
are these: Next to silver, the two lead
ing industries of the territory are
wool raising and lead mining. These
are the two commodities from which,
with silver included, this territory has
drawn its chief revenue for years The
loss through the dread of tariff legisla-
ton was last year from six hundred
thousand to eight hundred thousand
dollars in the depreciation of wool;
while the imminent danger of having
the tariff removed from lead and lead
ores has paralyzed the lead-mining in
dustry. The democracy went into
power on a platform which promised
that gold and silver should receive
equal recognition at the minis of the
United States.

HON. o. W. POWERS

"
Former leader Of the liberal partly,
democrat:
believe that Utah will be demo-
cratic state when the territory shall be
admitted into the union, because, first
of all, the people of Utah are essen
tally a home-loving people. They
have been taught and they thoroughly
believe in the doctrine of home rule,
which is one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of democracy. The members of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints have, from the foundation of
their church, been strict construction
lists of the constitution. and they have
advocated in its fullest sense the
doctrine that the people should
rule. This thought has become part
of their everyday life. 1t may also be
said that the percentage of Intelligence
is higher in Utah among all the people,
Mormon and Gentle included, than in
most of the states of the union. Con-
sequently our people are to high de-
gree readers and thinkers. Upon the
economic questions of the day they arc
well informed, and Notwithstanding
the fact that we are lead. wool and
sugar producing country, there is a
well grounded conclusion prevalent
among our people that no taxes should
be levied other than those which are
needed for the support of the govern
ment when economically administered.
1t may be well to state that in all ter
ritorial elections, when national party
lines have been drawn, the popular
vote has been ia favor of she democrat
&c party. This was the result at the
last territorial election and notwith-
standing the fact that Salt Lake City,
which is supposed to be democratic, at
the late special legislative election
gave republican, majority of over
nine hundred, there is still more than
one thousand democratic majority in
Utah. When this territory becomes a
state 1t may be safely counted on to
sustain democratic principles.

CHARLES C. RICHARDS,

CHARLES c. RICHARDS,
chairman territorial democratic COM
mittee:
The people Of Utah are intelligent
and progressive. For forty years they
have been petitioning for statehood,
and during that time by successive acts
Of republican congresses have been so
stripped of the meager rights of local
government usually accorded even to
territories, while the civil power has
been centralized in the federal officers,
that the present system Of government
in the territory is but little if any better
than that endured by the American
colonies. In August, 1891, in Novem-
Der, 1892, and again in November, 1898,
despite the terrible financial strin-
gency, the depression in silver, lead
and wool, and notwithstanding the
fact that we are in the very heart of
the silver, lead aad wool producing re-
gion. the democratic party carried the
territory by satisfactory ,plu>alities.
The issues Of 1892 and 1898 were upon
the national platforms and the issue Of
statehood for the territory, and the
people emphatically declared for democ-
racy. I:may be urged by our opponents
that the fact that a republican legisla-
ture was elected in November, 1898,
and that at special election held
sixty days ago in Salt Lake City it re-
turned a republican majority, indi-
Gates that the new state will be repub-
lican, but such reasoning is fallacious.
The former is one of the results of in
famous legislation by a republican
congress which created the Utah COM
mission "a returning board), and con-
ferred upon it power to district the
territory for legislative elections.
thereby enabling the republicans with
a minority of two thousand votes to so
gerrymander and shoestring the terri
tory that they could and did elect a
majority in the upper house and two
thirds of the lower house. The result
of the special election is due to differ
ence of opinion regarding the pro-
priety of the admission of the territory
to statehood, to apathy on the part of
some democrats and votes cast by
others as protest against the hard
times-the same unreasoning opposi-
ton that was made at the polls in New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
