John T Game B. H. Roberts and
i. c. Chambers, who have just con-
Guided a whirlwind triumphal tour
through Summit and Wasatch counties
returned to the city yesterday morning.
After a brief visit to Democratic head
quarters, Messrs Caine and Roberts at
once started north again for the pur-
pose Of holding several meetings at
Roberts home in Davis county. Both
gentlemen are naturally very much
fatigued from their incessant travel
and frequent meetings, but the sort of
welcome they everywhere receive keeps
them W. and makes them feel like
veritable giants refreshed with new
wine
4 correspondent of The Herald, who
made the tour with the three Demo-
Gratis. furnishes the following interest
ing account Of the great tour:
In company with Messrs. Game,
Roberts and Chambers and a glee club,
consisting Of Piper, Whitney, Patrick
and Peterson, we left Salt Lake Mon
day morning for Park City. OF our
wonderful meeting at that place, echoes
OF which sounded all over Summit and
Wasatch counties, l have already writ
ten yOu. The hamaS meeting, which
preceded it, was scarcely less notable,
the size Of the two places considered,
and Democrats there are hopeful of
making decided gains as a result Of the
visit. Il was reserved for HebeS City,
however, TO cap the climax Of all the
oVatiOnS. Game and Roberts say that
the enthusiasm and crowds Of their
northern tour, heavy as both were, were
quite discounted by the affair at Heber
and later that at COalville. The people
Of those two places seemed to have
entered into a contest to see which
could extend the most royal welcome
TO the future governor. congressman
and state senator.
Mr.. Chambers surprised everyone
with his sound, terse, business-like
speeches and his reception from the
audiences everywhere was just as
hearty as that accorded the other
nominees. In the Coalville meeting,
when Mr.. Game said he thought Sum-
nit county owed enough to Nj, Cham
bers to cause Republicans to vote for
him without any regard to party affila-
tons, a voice in the crowd shouted
Here's one that will" at which
perfect pandemonium of cheers broke
that their canvass shows Mr.. Cham
bers will run 80 to 60 ahead Of his
ticket in that precinct alone. In Elk
horn. the same county, where there
are ~ votes. the canvass shows 50
Democrats, 10 Republicans and A votes
for r. c. Chambers. Wasatch county
is safely Democratic by $50 votes, and
if Park City does only half her duty,
Mr.. Chambers Will have a walk over
TO the state senate. Of course there is
some danger from the enemy's boo
die" In every town that we visited
it was freely stated that Mr.. Kearns'
men were out well loaded" and
everywhere are on the alert, however,
and the instant any attempts to in
huence voters by the Trumbo methods
appear Mr.. kearnS' heutenants will
hear of it sharply and suddenly.
The Heber City Ovation.
But as to Heber city. The outpour-
ing here called to mind nothing SO
much az the old days when President
Young used to tour the territory, and
the people of the various towns sus-
pended business for the day anG flOcked
out on the road TO greet him. Three
miles outside of Heber, drawn up in
two lines. was a procession which so
affected Caine and Roberts that they
could hardly express themselves and, as
for Mr. Chambers who. until then, had
had no such evidence Of the way they
greet their popular candidates in these
towns-he has not yet gotten over
wondering about it. \ brass band

AS the nominees carriages passed
between the lines the band struck up.
and three mighty cheers each were
given for Caine, Roberts and Cham

tlemen galloped beside the carriages
as an escort, all the others falling in
behind, and the long procession
dashed into the city, where it was
cheered again and again by the peo-
