The delegations and delegates assem-
bied yesterday in various spots and
places, to talk over matters.
The Westerfield faction argue that
their man was downed through the
able efforts of Fred Leonard, James

II seems tnaL uniS is more or less
true, because when Leonard's friends
noted the fact that their man had no
show they very promptly switched to

followed and the Second precinct man
was gone.

Clifford Irwin can find no fault with
the general result, for he flew the
track ten minutes too early.
Joe Smiths friends are kicking them

he was sold out. However, Joe himself
is doing no kicking, but SAYS he will

Springville, Oct. Is. -[SpeciaL1 =
Judge Powers came down from Salt
Lake this evening and spoke at
Reynolds hall to fully 1900 people. 1t
was very enthusiastic meeting, one
of the best held in this county this
year. He prefaced his speech by a
brief reference to his attitude in the
past in this territory and stated that
he was ready to let by cones be by
cones. He felt that he could earnestly
cooperate with the people of the ter
ritory in their struggle for the su-
premacy of Democracy. He then took
UP the speech of Frank j. Cannon,
delivered here few days ago, and
answered it in detail. Mr.. Cannon
whole speech was an attempt to
charge the Democratic party with the
hard times, and by reason of their
being in power, over 100000 people
were out of employment but he failed
to tell them the causes of their dis
tress.
Judge Powers traced the history of
Republican legislation upon the tariff,
and showed it's evil effects upon the
whole country.
After an exhaustive discussion Of
good effects of the Wilson bill and the
returning prosperity under its opera
tons, he felt sure that the party would
be successful in this campaign.
The judge then stated that he had
some questions he wished to put to
Mr.. Cannon and trusted he would an
| swer them. Following are some of the
questions:
He wanted to know if Mr.. Cannon.

this territory, if Utah people con-
trolled the capital stock of that COM
! pany further than as represented by
Saltair beach and the Coalville coal
mines? He wanted to know if the stock
was not held by men in Salt Lake
merely for eastern capitalists, and
wanted to know if the Incorporation
papers were not signed in Provo two or
three weeks ago, when representatives
! of eastern capitalists and bankers were
there?
He wanted to know further if the
| Sugar trust was not at the back of this
corporation and was not putting up the
money to start this corporation; if il
was not a part of its scheme for the
Sugar trust to lease the sugar
factory at Lehi and then close it down
and If the Sugar trust was not to put
up money enough to carry this terrific
ry for the Republican party, and send
Frank Cannon and Colonel Isaac Trum-
| DO to the Senate?
| The judge stated that he had reason
to believe that this was true; and if So
the people of the territory ought to
know it,
| After this the judge took up the his
tory of the financial legislation of the
Republican party since 1860, and show
ed the evil effects of it, referring to the
various acts that have been passed.
He closed with a powerful plea for
the success of the Democratic party in
| November, expressing his belief that
the Democracy would control the Con-
stitutional convention and send J. L.
Rawlins back to Congress
| The address was a mastery one and
was received with great enthusiasm

system to the intersection of Second
South and Third West before the advent
of winter and frosty weather, but TINS
opinion is not shared by the city ofhclals
who are directly connected with the con-
struction of the system, their contention
being that at the present rate the south
ern end of the main line will not get far
past City creek. The statement has been
made by the contractors, however, that II
is their intention to rush the work as
fast as men and money can carry 1t
along and if their promise is carried out
they will be able to complete the system
to the point named by them. ON &C.
