Justice and equality to all men"

Such was the motto borne at the head
of The Juab county delegation 10 the
great Democratic convention as they
came IN yesterday afternoon, headed
by tka Nephi band and enthusiastic in
the belief that the Democracy viii win
this fall
The delegations from Juab, part Of
Sanpete. Iron, Beaver and Washington
fcounties came in on the Union Pacific
'afternoon train. the Ephraim band ac-
oompanying the Sanpete delegation.
Other county delegations followed soon
after The Rio Grande brought in some
from along its route north and south.
and the Utah Central brought in part
Of the Summit county delegation and
all of the Wasatch delegation
Democratic headquarters last even
ing gave ample evidence of the gravity
of the situation. Representative DEM
ocrats from all parts Of the territory
were there. having come at great eH-
: 1fense and with no regard for time to
eHsloW that the Democracy thinks the
present crisis is grave. All the dele
gates seemed TO have one idea. That
was to meet every issue that might be
brought into The campaign and to make
the fight against church interference
once and for all time. AS far as could
be seen there was no waVering. sam
pete and Sewer in the center struck
hands with Cache on the extreme north
and Washington in the extreme south,
and Joined in the demand that the line
between church and state be drawn
so straight and so plain that none dara
cross it.
Will he n Hummer.
The convention today Will be a hum
mer.
The best answer to the attempts of
the Republicans to belittle the present
issue was the great interest shown by
the Democrats 1t is idle to talk about
grand stand plays and making noun
tains out of mole hills, when men OF
sbrains and ability see enough in the IS
fsue to come hundreds of miles at their
own expense TO meet 1T. a great con-
vention cannot be held for a triViality.
Men viii not spend their time and mon
ev merely to make a. demonstration.
Some few may be led to useless eX-
pense but a great party, on bare
weeks notice, does not rise as one man
10 make a display unless the occasion
is great.
Delegations arrived in great numbers
yesterday. At headquarters last even
ing there were representatives of Rich,
Cache, Morgan. Weber, Davis, salt
Lake. Summit. TOoele. Wasatch, Utah,
cry. Carbon. Iron. Beaver, and even
from far off Washington. for two men
had come from that extreme land of
Dixie. Every delegation brought re-
ports that more were coming.
The Cache county delegation with
full strength viii arrive this morning
. on special. joining the Weber coun-
BY delegation at ogden, and bringing
with it. men from Box Elder Davis,
Morgan. Summit and Rich. Both Cache
and Weber are expected to bring either
bands or drum corps with them Dele
cations from the south Will come up
with special trains in the morning,
gath more bands and drum corps. a
XSbecial Will be run IN from ToOele,
Infringing Roberts, RawlinS, Game and
the Tooele delegation.
From every direction comes reports of
great delegations. and from appear
ances there will be a great crush at
the convention and in the city. Already
there is a much greater demand than
supply of tickets to the theater, and
not a tenth of those who wish to go
will be able to obtain an entrance into
the building. 1t viii indeed be a great
convention.
This is only a sample Of what the
Democrats have had to contend against
for years. They fought these things
quietly. They thought that they could
settle the issue without making an open
fight But after three years trial of
the old method they have come square
out on the issue, and it is this thing
they are fighting. No wonder the Dem
ocrats of Sanpete are aroused. No
wonder the Democrats Of other coun-
ties are aroused. They have all felt
it. they have all believed it was wrong
and all alike, Mormon and Gentle. are
determined to crush out this thing
with a hand Of steel.
