Arrangements will be made this
morning for hall 1t will either
be in the Lyceum theatre before the
Populist meeting or in the old federal
court room.
Handbills will be scattered through
the city announcing the place. Watch
for them.
This action on Mr.. Dicksons part
will do much toward aiding the party.
He is a powerful speaker and his
Democracy is the result of careful
study and consideration on his part.
Give him a rousing reception. Every
body turn out
Democrats throughout the state and
county have cause for congratula-ing
themselves over the outlook The vic
tory is already won, and all that re-
mains to do is to vote and vote right.
Utah will give a sweeping majority for
William Jennings Bryan; win elect
Hon. w. H. King and Will select a
Democratic legislature, while this
county viii go Democratic by ma
jority of from 1900 to 1000.
The county and state chairmen of all
the parties have been seen and have
expressed their judgment. What they
have to say will be seen below, but
their language bears out the assertion
made in the opening paragraph.
Chairman Burton Of the Democratic
state executive<committee is in a happy
mood we shall win a great victory"
he said. ''An signs point to a sweep
ing triumph for the national ticket,
Bryan's majority at this time being ap-
parently in the neighborhood Of 10000,
and il may be more. There is hardly
county in the state which can be
classed as doubtful. 1 expect that we
viii carry every county in the state
for Bryan.
When it comes to congressman,
Will King Will be elected. He will
have from 5000 majority to 5000 over
Holbrook. His election l regard as alb
solutely certain.
'.On the legislative ticket we viii win
and have a good working majority in
both houses. The. election of d Demo-
GRAFT to succeed Brown is certain. But
although we have such bright pros
poets, the battle of the ballots is not
yet fought, and it behooves every voter
to go to the polls and do his duty. Es-
pecially is this true in this county.
Here is where we are going to get our
strength. If this county does its duty
by the ticket, we will have a large 9 IA
jority; one which cannot be overcome
by any combination of circumstances
The balance of the state is all right and
the people of this city and county
should remember that right here is
where the election of a Democratic
United States senator is emphasized.
The prize is one which we must have
and are making a struggle in the last
days of the campaign, but it is the
fight a despairing man makes when all
hope has fled: frenzied effort which
comes ere defeat asserts itself. / am
as confident Of victory as l am that so
long as the earth stands that day and
night, winter and summer, cold and
heat and seedtime and harvest shall
not cease
Judge Powers will address the ladies
of the city this afternoon at , O'Clock
at the Lyceum theatre. All are invited
TO attend.
State Chairman Powers, of the Demo-
cratic committee, is sanguine. I'VE
will elect King by a majority not less
than 5000 and it may run as high as
1,000'' he said last night. I'VE will
elect 45 members of the legislature.
We will carry the First, Second, Third,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh. Eighth, Tenth
and Eleventh senatorial districts. The
Ninth is in doubt. In the Twelfth we
have good chances: We will carry. the
First. Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth,
Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth,
Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth,
Twentieth, Twenty first, Twenty-sec-
ond, Twenty-third and Twenty fourth
representative districts. The Fourth
is in doubt as is the Seventh. We will
elect Dusenberry judge in the Fifth
district.
1.-The voters are aroused this year
and victory is as certain as can be-"

Chairman Lloyd of the county COM
mittee was in a sanguine mood too.
Our work is nearly DONE" he said,
land we lay down our labors on the
eve of the struggle confident of sue
cess. The campaign has been carried
on under great difficulties; we have
not had the funds our opponents have
had to work with, but there have been
willing hands and hearts with US all
the time and we have done well con-
sidering the obstacles with which we
have had to contend.
The women have been our allies and
have done everything they could do
for US. And ii is their votes which will
make our majorities Tuesday. We will
carry this county for the entire ticket,
by majorities ranging from 1900 to q
900. This is no idle boast: while the
opposition has been sending out postal
cards we have had canvasses made by
citizens and have absolute information
that we shall win. While they have
been mailing circulars, we have had our
speakers at work with the people. The
canvass has been a good one. The
meetings have been large ones In
tense interest has been manifested and
we know our work has made voters for
US.
I'VE have nothing to fear from the
opposition. They will attempt scares
and will foist roorbacks upon the peo-
pie at this late day, but without avail.
The time for such work is past. Our
voters are intelligent and will vote as
intelligent people
Yes, sir, l regard the situation
in this county as one of abso-
Lutte certainty and assert that
we will elect every candidate on the
ticket. We expect this county to give
a good majority for King too. He has
made a lasting impression upon the
voters of this county and they will
support him..
Hon. W. H. King does not care to
make any predictions as to the result
where he is personally concerned, be-
lieving that such action on his part
would be in poor taste. But he is
confident Of Bryan's receiving a ire
mendous majority in this state and of
the legislature being Democratic.
