~ Charles C. Richards,
ION this trip it was my pleasure to
meet many representatives of our
party and TO form the acquaintance Of
many young men, then taking an ac-
tive interest in the cause of Democracy
and good government The four
young men that I met who attracted
my attention most and mostly i'm
pressed themselves upon my memory
we're James II. Manning Of Albany, y.
Y, Robert D. Smith. Of Helena, Mont
Charles G. Richards, of Ogden, Utah
territory. and Charles D. Fullen of
Fairfield, Iowa. ! thought all of these
young men would surely be destined
at an early time and for MANY years
10 come 10 play important parts in
political growth and development of
our country. SO far [ have not been
mistaken, and ] beg that the readers
Of The Herald viii keep their eyes on
this Quartette Of young men. Since
the time of which ] speak, Mr. Man
ming has been Mayor OF Albany n. Y,
Robert =. Smith has been a candidate
for Congress in Montana, and he Is
there now confessedly one of the fore
most lawyers in that state. Charles
G. kisSards. as all know. is secretary
of can territory, and Mr.. F'uilen is
thu limited States district attorney for
the state of Iowa.
Utah and Democracy.
"If st is true, as now boldly stated
By some, that Utah territory, in be-
coming a state. has TO enter the Union
Republican, then 1t Will be a genuine
disappointment to the true friends of
civil and religious liberty in America,
in short, the Democratic party. It is
almost incomprehensible that Utah
should be otherwise than Democratic;
Il is nearly as incomprehensible as
that the Nfornlons by Republican legis-
latiS.u only have been despoiled of their
prarjerty ana prosecuted, because, as
the pioneers amid privations and hard
ships, they crossed the continent and
made this desert blossom as a rose,
which burdens We're taken off these
people by Democratic influence. The
idea that Utah is to be carried into
the Republican column on the plea of
protection versus free trade. is a SUBJ
terfuge pure and simple. Practically,
the question of tariff taxation is settled
for a quarter Of a century TO come.
khink there is enough protection in the
Democratic Wilson bill to insure at
present that the people of Utah win
