GOOD ADDRESSES MADE.
DIR. MATTE HUGHES CANNON
TALKS ON SUFFRAGE.
Timrnony Pays His Respects to the
Mileage Makers = The Tariff
Question briefly Discussed-The
Republican Candidate for Gov
ernor.

The Democrats of the Nineteenth
ward were out in force last night at
a political meeting in Derbidge's hall,
corner of Peach and Second West
streets. Miiando Pratt performed the
duties of chairman.
DR.. Matte Hughes Cannon made
one of her bright and vivacious
speeches. and aroused much enthusi-
asm, especially among the ladies pres
ent. She said that the prospect of
having a voice in the affairs of the
new state should be hailed with de-
light by all women who desire to see
judicious laws judiciously administer
ed and who have the national inter-
ests at heart. While women will not
WELD the franchise at the forthcoming
election, they should not permit that
to cool their enthusiasm. 1t should be
their aim to become schooled in poll
teal wisdom SO that when in their
hands is placed the franchise their in
fluence may be felt throughout the
whole state.
Woman has taken it as her office
work to better the social and educa-
tional conditions now prevalent. To
do this successfully she must have the
ballot Her petitions TO legislative
bodies, asking for better laws for the
unfortunate are repeatedly cast aside
This is because there are no votes be-
hind those petitions. Powerful corpor
atoms have little difficulty in gaining
what they want from legislative bod
les. They accomplish this for no other
reason than that they control a vast
number of votes. Women must be able
to call votes to their aid, or their work
in the interests of charity will al
ways be hampered.
Suffrage for women will bring them
into. closer relationship. Many of them
will be benefited in this way. A great
number Of women suffer from nervous
disorders simply because they never
leave the monotonOus routine of house
work. Medicine will not cure this
affection. The only remedy is to be
found in more frequent association
with others and by giving the mind
rest by change Of exercise.
Democracy is a sweet song of free
dom that has gained melody with age
and some of it's loftiest strains are to
be heard among the mountains in the
west That song will appeal more
strongly to the women of Utah than
will the claims of Republicanism
Women have shown their fitness to
take part in the questions of state by
laying its foundation in the home. Men
need not, therefore, fear that their
hands will damage the superstructure.
j. B. Tfmmony followed. He opened
UP with a reference to Republican eX-
travagance, and spoke sarcastically of
the party's best types, the county
selectmen. He said that a few days
ago he saw Selectman Roberts walk
ing Up and down the aisles of the
joint building, seemingly in much
perturbation of mind. Turning to one
Jackson, a Herald reporter, he asked
what was causing the unrest of the
selectman. oh" said that function
airy, Roberts, is all right; he is only
piling up mileage"
The prophecies of calamity, he said.
which the Republicans have sounded
for two years, are now beginning to
lose all weight. The Wilson bill went
into effect in August of last year. In
dustrial ruin was then staring at the
nation. That bill has now operated for
a year and the result is that there is
new life in commercial centers and
men before idle are getting employ
ment The iron manufactures in
Pennsylvania are now crowded and
can hardly supply the demand for
OliSli AletlSllol. vi lOp VI ILLS reports
come from all over the country of
voluntary raises in wages. This con-
dftion should be contrasted with the
conditions that obtained one year af-
ter the Mckinley bill was passed.
Then the news was all of financial
disaster and strikes.
The American Protective Tariff as
ISOLATION recently wrote to the Doe
River (Tenn.) wooden mills, asking for
comparison of wages and prices of
wool under the Mckinley and Wilson
bills. The reply was hardly what the
association looked for. The wool COM
pany replied that they had alsthe pro-
lection they wanted on wool and that
they had no more use for Mckinley
ism.
The man who heads the Republican
ticket for governor is a weak candi-
date. He is an affable gentleman,
with a clean record but he sadly lacks
political information and the exper-
fence necessary to make him a sue
cessful governor. He makes a good
cashier at the bank and the Demo-
Gratis will take pains to see that he
remains at his desk. The party will
nominate at Ogden a man in every
way capable of filing the Office. Fur
thermore, they will elect him.
