people. as disting uishd from those who
seek legislation for private benefits
than that given to the country by the
Chicago convention

Utah in the past, to the action of one
of its senator's in voting against the in

TO adj members of that organization
who place principle above party to join
US in electing a Democratic legislature
which will not only guard the rights OF
the people on all local matters, but
which will also see that no man shall
go to Ehe United States senate who has
not been in the past, and who will
not continue to be in the future, tbs

and unlimited coinage of silver at II

any other nation.
And the nominees of this convention
for the legislature are hereby instruct
ed, in case they are elected, to vote fol
no man as United States senator, nof
known to be in full accord with this
declaration.
We welcome into the rank of voters
the women Of the county whose loyalty
pronounced in the past, whose effort:
are most earnest at present, and whose
