LOGAN, Oct 9-Thatcher's opera
house was crowded tonight by an en-
thusiasuc audience that heard Demo-
cratic doctrine expounded by Judge
Powers and judge King.
1t was one of the most successful po-
litical meetings ever held in Cache
county, and though there are few anti
silver. people here to convert, there is
nc doubt that the addresses viii
result in making eveis' person pres
ent a missionary in the great cause of
silver.
a X. Nebeker, chairman of the
Democratic city committee, presided,
and preliminary to the introduction OF
the visiting orators, made well con-
sidered and eloquent speech.
Judge Powers was greeted with a
ssarm of applause which disconnected
even that old campaigner for mo-
ment. Almost every allusion made by
him to Bryan was received with
rounds of applause.
POWERS SPEECH.
a SYNOPSIS of Judge Powers speech
is as follows:
In urging Republicans to vote the
Democratic ticket this year, particular
IL the congressional and the legislative
ticket. 1 am urging course wE-qch
seems to me to he consistent. l am
urging a course which il seems to me
is for tie best interests Of the people.
You tell me tat you will vote for Bry-
an. You tell me that silver is the para
mount issue. You tell me that you be-
lieve with me that it is necessary 10
subordinate all other questions to this
great paramount issue in order that
prosperity may be restored to the land.
Believing in silver, you propose to vote
for silver. You are aware that the only
way TO vote for silver is to vote for
Bryan, but you have a lingering hope
that some day your party will break
from the golden leading strings of the
plutocrats and stand as it die in the
days of Lincoln for the rights of the
masses
1 say TO you that such hope is idle.
The note shavers, the bond buyers, the
pawnbrokers,
THE HUMAN BIRDS OF PREY
who fatten upon the necessities of thu
mainly, have seized the livery of your
party and they will not surrender it
into your hands. If you send a Re
publican 10 congress- he will stand
alone, as man without party, unless
he acts and votes with the Democratic
party. The Democratic party is the
4 silver party. 1t is committed irrevoc-
ably to saiver's cause The Republican
party is the gold standard party Its
banner will not again be restored to the
hands Of the people. For the little
band of silver Republicans to attempt
10 cause the national organization to
retrace its steps and ID be once more
a Republican organization in spirit
and purpose as well as in name, is as
futile as was the effort of the old king
who tried to cause the rising tide to
stand back. His faith in his power
resulted in his death. Your faith in
Your power retaTdS the peoples cause
If you vote for Bryan and the balance
Of the Republican ticket you do not
strike one-half as hard a blow as you
win if you

opposite the rooster on your ballot and
let it go at that. Try a change of
politics this year. There is no pros
pect of things growing any better I'M
der Republican rule. There is no like
lihood that they will be any worse I'M
der Democratic control. You take no
chances You will vote the silver ticket
and for silver men when you vote the
Democratic ticket. There is no doubt
about that You can trust without fear
the nominees of the great party, which,
