room was taken. The stairs leading
TO the balconies were crowded.
Called to Order.


At SIS Chairman Civilian called
! the meeting to order and introduced
Judge Mcmillan as chairman He said
! he was proud, the Democrats were
/ proud, of Ogden. She had Shown she
was Democratic. She had shown she
was for equal freedom, as against the
party of trusts and monopolies
I Democracy has existed since the foun-
! da,tion of our government and has
met every opponent and come out of
the fray with flying colors. 1t has
met the Republican party ON every
field and never struck its flag. If it
goes down, it will do so like the Cum
! berland, with its colors nailed to the
! mast.
The Ogden sextette was then intro
duced to sing something about our
Frankie's power dam" This was
good stroke at the Little Napoleon's
scheme to carry Weber county and
evoked much enthusiasm. There was
a lone shout of Cannon" and some
body called back, Hes dam-d,"
Whereat there was applause. The club
responded 70 an encore.
Judge Powers Speech.
Judge Mcmillan said he believed the
! Democrats will roll up a victory be-
| cause we have the Powers to do it.
He then introduced Judge Powers,
who was received with a tremendous
! burst of cheering which was renewed
| again and again.
Judge Powers said: "And the Demo-
cratic party still lives; and it lives in
spite of the Republicans, whose teeth
are chattering and they think they
are laughing. CHEERS and applause)
! Did you ever think what a happy fam
lily the Republican party is? A sort
of two-headed girl or Siamese twins.
One head is in Salt Lake, directing the
big three and the other directing a
seven ringed circus, now in Morgan.
LaugnterO Each, too, is claiming to
be bhe only original Republican party.
There's harmony for you. daughter.)
one man has sent out brochure in
the peculiar style of that man who
wrote for the Nuggets of Truth. This
is a remarkable example Of how great
/ minds run together" He then read
some extracts which provoked great
laughter as they came from papers
in different sections and contained the
same phrases, as though eminating
from the same literary bureau.
Which VIII They Have:
What he wanted to say was that the
man who was sending forth this mat
ter was the logical candidate of the
Republican party. VIII you prefer
y
prefer Charles Crane to Joseph L..
Rawlins? If you vote the Republican
ticket you vote for TrurItbo and Crane.
There is on the front page of this cir
cular q. telegram signed by MILFORD
Woodruff, George @. Cannon and
Joseph F. Smith The use of the tele-
gram was designed to appeal to the
religious prejudices of the people. That
is the thing we are fighting against
here. That is a thing that must be
put down in Utah. Great cheering
The question before the people is
whether amy upstart may take the
words of honored men and try to ride
into power, Some words were uttered
in Salt Lake recently at a priesthood
meeting. The words themselves were
not objectionable. But Republicans
have taken those words and used them
against us. They have said Brother
Thatcher and Brother Roberts are
about ITO apostatize. They are out of
favor with the first presidency. They
should be defeated"
The Great Issue.
Men We're seeking to defeat us by
the foulest means, by appealing to the
religious prejudices of the people. The
Democracy says every man must have
q, right to think and act as he pleasas.
We must and will show our displeasure
at this action of the Republican party.
! The Republicans are trying to belittle
the issue. The attitude of the Tribune
Il brings up the story of the man who
/. was caught in the flood and wanted to
! get on board the ark. He
!. was refused and finally said: "Well
n go on with your old ark. You can't dc
: very much after all" They wanted
g US to do nothing and to let them defeat
d us in the way they had started out
r But we will do nothing of the kind
: We will appeal to the people and ask
/ them to say Hands off. There shall
r be no dictation of the church to the
d state or the state to the church" And
: I have such faith in the people that
s believe You will be surprised at tbs
t majority for B. H. Roberts. Cheers,
a 1 bring you words of good cheer. Oul
), returns show that we are in line fol-
|, victory. 1 could not have kept back
/ the tide. We must meet the issue here
: We must meet it now. We must say
e to the people of the country that its
p confidence was not misplaced. This
+ is a question that has bearing or
/ every man, woman and child in Utah
! no matter of what religion. It is q
e question vitality affecting the future OF
Utah. We now want to serve notice
: that no religious influence shall be USED
I, in Utah.
e Den Rich Simply Lied.
It He had heard that man from Ida
n no, who is a sort of john the Baptist
y going about the territory announcing
the coming of Wells, Allen and Can
non. has been saying that I was the
author of the button inscribed with
il the all-seeing eye Holiness to the
t Lord" and Republican Party The
e speaker paused a moment and then
, said, earnestly: II want to say that
J. any man-and justly use strong Ian
n guage-who said that I would ridicule
}. any mans religion, lies (Tremen-
2 dOus sensation and cheering). A man
s who would try to win votes by such
means is not worthy to speak for any
n party. (Cheers). 1 am going to live
e in Utah. (Applause). I shall do moth
e ing that will make me blush when
8 look in the face of an honest man.
n am with you in this fight. We viii
4 win. Cheers. 1 ask you who are
q wavering to cast your lot with the
;. party of the people, which, by advanc-
4 ing this issue, will bring peace fol
. the future and will bury the bitterness
/ Of the past. He felt that Weber
n county was alive. He felt encouraged
!. He was directing a campaign of edu-
cation. The people are thinking and
they viii vote with the Democrats this
q fall.
