The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-27

an eloquent address on the general
issues and then turned her attention
to local affairs. She gave some very
strong reasons why the whole Demo
cratic ticket should be elected, and
made particularly an appeal to the Ia
dies to vote the ticket straight. Put
your X up by the rooster and let 1t
go at that" she said'in conclusion amid
rapturous applause.
During Dr. Cannon's remarks she
gave away a little plot which is being
laid out by the Mckinley women TO
catch votes for Mrs. Wells, which had
come to her attention. 1t is to the eff
feet that the Mckinley women are
going about among the Democratic wo-
men telling them they should put an X
up by the rooster. but should not let 1t
go at that, but. should put another
cross opposite the name of Mrs. Wells.
She explained that such a proceeding
would not help Mrs. Wells, but would
deprive the person who did it Of the
privilege of voting for any one for the
senate, which would practically be a
vote for the Republican senatorial
ticket.
Following Mrs. Cannon Hon. Fisher
S. Harris addressed the meeting. AS
has been the case since the campaign
opened, Mr.. Harris was in the humor
to make speech and made one which
filled his hearers with enthusiasm and
in which he made many telling points
against the enemy. He referred to the
course of Senator Frank j. Cannon
early in his speech and contracted the
difference between his attitude toward
all that the people of Utah hold dearest,
and that of Utah's junior senator Mr.
Cannons course had been a patriotic
- -, ~tc1,e. of
his constituents when he left his party
and walked out of it's convention be-
cause it turned its back on their inter-
esgs, while the other senator from Utah
sat still and listened to the Kissing OF
his colleague and endorsed the plat
form of that same convention.
During the course of his remarks Mr..
Harris referred to Mr.. Brown again and
said that while he did not wish to be
misunderstood as holding Mr.. Brown
an issue in this campaign, there was
one fact to which he wished to call at
tention which made the use of his
name necessary He then read from a
Tribune editorial which appeared after
his action in voting against silver. That
editorial said the Republican legislators
knew what they were doing when they
elected Mr.. Brown. They knew that
he had never put silver ahead of tariff
or considered it the paramount issue,
but had elected him in the face of that
knowledge. He then said that If the
Republican legislature did that thing
knowingly and with but two exceptions
Representative Morrill, and Cushing,
who voted against Brown-thereby
committing an almost unanimous
wrong, another Republican legis-
lature could hardly be trusted

like him. Mr. Harris made a
great hit when he expressed the BELIEF
that the people are so thoroughly
aroused this time that they will take
no chances, but will elect Demo-
cratic legislature about which there will
be no doubt as to the silver proclivities
of the man they would send to the sem
ate, and that Mr.. Brown would be
permitted to remain at home and at
tend to his law practice and his libel
suit against the Tribune.
Mr. Harris made another strong
point when he told his hearers to ask
the man who talked to them about
the tariff being the issue or one equally
with silver, to compute for him Two
things. First the amount of money
that would be turned loose in Utah if
silver were renonetized and then the
amount thai. would be circulated as the
result of the passage of the highest
and most extravagant tariff bill that
the mind could possibly conceive of.
Then compare the two amounts,
said ne. land see the difference. If
you had ali the brains of Arthur Brown
and Arthur Thomas and John NJ. Zane
put together you couldn't comprehend
the difference there would be in favor
of silver
Mr.. Harris then paid an eloquent
tribute to Judge King ana to Morris
Sommer and asked the votes of his
hearers for both.
Following Mr. Harris, Mr.. Sommer
explained the Australian ballot,
prefacing his discourse as a pedagogue
with some very pointed remarks on the
local situation.
Throughout there was much enthusi-
asm. and warm applause at every
point evidenced the approval which
the remarks of the speakers met.
