TO THE WOMEN OF UTAH.
DIR. e. b. FERGUSON ON THE DUTY
OF THE HOUR.
Final Battle Between the Army of
Trusts, MonoDOiies and Combines
and the Oppressed Millions.

The end of the struggle in which we
are engaged is near at hand. Within
a few hours the final battle will be
fought. On the one hand are the forces
of plutocracy, gold, greed and foreign
domination-the organized army of
trusts, monopolies and combines: on
the other, the oppressed millions of the
toiling, laboring wage-earners of the
nation, the true creators of the wealth
that is now in the hands of the merci
less skylocks who seek to enslave and
Cypress them. The outlook is encour-
aging. Silver, so long crushed to
earth, will rise again." In Utah we are
glad to know that the Bryan and
Sewall electoral ticket will win by an
immense majority. Work, then, for sue
cess all along the line. See to it that
w. H. King, the only true silver can
didate for congress, is elected by
majority equal TO that of Mr.. Bryan.
Let every woman who casts her bal
lot for Bryan and King remember that
to insure the return of true, Staunch,
solid silver man as United States. SEN
ator, the Democratic senatorial and
legislative ticket, in each district, must
be elected. Send only sterling silver
men and women to the legislature to
silver state like Utah. Vote for no gold
bugs, even if they are silver plated.
Remember that it is to the Democratic
party that you owe the possession of
equal suffrage today, and the oppor-
tunity OF casting your ballot in this
important crisis of our nations his
tory. Be true to the party that has
been true to you. If you can trust the
destinies of the nation in the hands of
William Jennings Bryan, you can GER
talnly trust the men and women who
stand on the same platform and ticket
that he does, and who are pledged to
carry out with unwavering fidelity the
policy of good government that he will
inaugurate. The affairs of this state
and of this county are as safe in the
hands of the rest of the candidates on
the Democratic ticket, if elected as the
affalrS of the nation in the hands of Mr.
Bryan. Make no mistake then. Be
not fooled by the Misrepresentation
of Republican missionaries who only
seek to bewilder you, and by. inducing
you TO mark the names of certain can
didates on the Republican ticket cause
you to lose your vote for the candi-
dates on your own. Be not mfsled by
bogus printed ballots, marked by Re-
publican tricksters, but put your X I'D
by the rooster and nowhere else. and
then you may rest assured that the
result will be satisfactory to you. and
the best ticket will win. Utah will he

tiers and stand forth among her sister

SAIL LAM. OCL. 81.
Dear HaI-Bryan has had the right
of way all this week, and everything
else is sidetracked. It's UP to fever
heat now. the excitement and we wo-
men are as deeply inoculated with it
as anyone Never in. all my political
experience IN Salt Lake have 1 seen such
an audience as thar which crammed
itself into the theatre Friday night, to
greet King and Powers; surely the
walls must have been found to be
bulced and sprung the next morning.
And seldom, if ever, have two such
great speeches been heard by a Salt
Lake audience as chose which the two
silverites-hot from the Chicago con-
fict and fresh from contact with the
immortal William J.-poured out to
their spenbound listeners. Poor Hol-
brook!
Sleeping. waking. eating or work
ing now, my mind turns on one topic
Bryan I shall knew no rest or peace
till the bulletins begin to come in on
Tuesday night, and 1 devour the tamil
lar words: 'Fsfty-two election pre-
cincts in Chicago give Bryan -; Nc
Kinley -. The same precincts in 1892
gave Cleveland -; Harrison -
etc. etc, etc It's Chicago now. New
York is no longer the seat of empire.
As Chicago goes this time, so goes the
nation; at least that's my prediction,
and predictions form the main amuse-
ment of the dav.
BUT [ forget that politics with you is
more or less a bore, and that you
wouldn't even take the trouble to come
across the desert TO register. 1 mourn
TO tell you, therefore, Sir Hermit, that
the wellsprings of amusement have all
dried up; only one little trickling
stream of information runs forth, that
from the Grand, and small refreshment
IL affords There is no Disgusting the
fact any longer, though we've all tried
to shut our eyes to it out of regard for
Manager ROgers-that the new COM
pany won't do. He has run upon the
rock we all saw his ship would founder
on-last years standard. He gave the
public too good show for half a dol-
lar; he spoiled its taste by feeding ii
on maccaroOnS and chocolate creams
and now il makes a wry face when he
proposes to substitute salt-rising bread
and hominy If there had been any
getting the public out at all. it would
have come this week. DUTY" is an
interesting play-and in the main,
well played. but every night there has
been the same unresponsive chill over
the house, the chill thai comes from
phalanxes of empty chairs, the most
uninspiring spectacle that ever tor
mented a thespians gaze. The trouble
isn't with anyone in partfcular-it's the
ensemble. 1t simply doesn't fuse; and
playing against the memories with
which the little house is rife, it's small
wonder that its work should be like
seed that falls on unprodUctive ground.

Date for Teachers Examination
Summer Congress- Abandoned
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Pendergast has fixed the dates
for county examinations of teachers
during the coming year The spring
examinations will be held on March 3
and 4, and Z, and 10 and IA; the au-
tumn examinations On Aug. IS and 19,
q and %, and % and rs. There will be
three examinations in each county
1t has been decided to cancel the
county superintendent congress
which it has been customary to hold
each year at the close of the university
summer school. The reasons for this
are that it conflicts with the county ex-
aminations, and also that there are
many of the superintendent who feel
that they can i'll afford to make two
trips to the Twin Cities, and the SEES
sion at the time of the state teachers
meeting in the Christmas holidays is
the more interesting and profitable by
reason of the larger attendance.
