THE CAMPAIGN.

So far the campaign in Utah has
gone unquestionably in favor OF the
democrats. The masses of the people
fully appreciate the work done for the
territory by the democratic party since
its advent TO power. We are to
credit patriotic republicans also
with love for their homes and an ap-
probation and gratitude for services
such as the democratic party has rem
dered. The wisdom of nominating the
able and devoted man who, under God,
was the instrument in comforting
these massive benefits cannot now be
doubted. His name has flashed into
all OF our bright beautiful valleys, tar
up The sides of our rugged mountains,
out upon our deserts where the stock
men roam, and into every workshop,
school, college and university, OF
wherever men toll, and one mighty
shout has gone up. 1t is shout OF en-
thusiasm. 1t is devotion to the man
who did more in eighteen months than
all others who attempted to serve Utah
for the last thirty years. Men, women,
children-all shout for the brave, hon
est servant of the people who has
crowned the territory with the diadem
of statehood, and won for the church
and the people almost untold benefits.
Unquestionably this is the chief ele-
ment in the success which even now
seems perfectly certain. and which is
growing surer an / brighter with each
passing hour. Every democrats loius
are girded, and all are working as men
do who deserve success. The long
unbroken record of the party's friend
ship for Utah. its efforts to serve her
its principles which apply SO admirably
and ft SO perfectly her every condi-
tion and surrounding, all this goes to
justify the party claim upon the al
legiance of the people of Utah and
they are meeting that sacred claim
like the honest, faithful men they are.
Added to this, the illustrious
founders of the church, its great lights
in all the history of the church and
territory from Joseph Smith down to
the venerable gentleman who now
stands at its head, and the peo-
pie, belonged to the democratic
party, in their simple charac-
ters of men and citizens. The in
terests of Utah lie altogether
with the theories of the democrats
now, as they did in those days of hard
ship and sacrifice when Brigham
Young led the hosts of Zion across the
black wilderness to these rugged val
leys which are now smiling amidst
these lofty mountains and the peace,
plenty and happiness reigning on every
hand and in every heart.
The opening of the UiDtah and I'm
compaghre reservations by the demo-
Gratis under the urgings of Mr.. Rawlins,
our leader in the present fight, the de-
feat of the cruel project 30 unload the
southern Utes upon San Juan county,
the restoration of the e8cheated prop
erty, the paying back Of the money by
the government taken from the church
by the republican party while in con-
troi at Washington, all these are
causes to incline honest people to favor
ssparty producing such evidences OF
friendship, rather than that cruel party
and policy which SO cruelty despoiled
the people and the chur.h. 1t is not
strange that the people Of Utah favor
Mr.. Rawlins and his party rather than
Mr.. Cannon and his party. What
fair minded man can blame them?
What fair-minded man can fail to vote
for RaWlins rather than the other?
Fair-mindedness, honesty, integrity,
are qualities just as graceful and
as valuable in politics as they are in
the church, in everyday business, or in
the homes of the people.
These are positive benefits con-
ferred by the democracy and Joe. L.
Rawlins. Now will some illustrious re
publican point us to one single good |
conferred by Mr.. Frank j. Cannon or
the republican party?
