tire. One year ago. no man confidently
predicted that Brown would be elected
TO the United States senate. But, the
legislature was Republican on joint bal
lot. and the ways of q Republican legls-
lature are past finding out The staiwart
silver leaders We're passed by. Inc
earnest men. who in season and out. of
season have advocated silver in the Re
publican party, were laid on the shell:
The legislature met. Brown was elected
and the cause of silver was betrayed. his
heart is not in the silver cause. To him,
the silver issue is not paramount. 10
him, a prohibitory tariff is the one thing
TO De sought for. He is a shrewd polltl-
elan. He is an untiring worker. He has
the ear of Mark Hanna, that enemy OF
labor and Of our institutions, and from
Hanna's never failing cornucopia OF cor
ruption, money will be poured into Ctan
to compass the election of Brown.
The issue in this campaign in Utah, is
whether Brown shall be returned TO the
senate? He is so manipulating things,
that ii a Republican Legislature is seeur-
ed. he viii be the choice In2t is
fact, as certain as anything IN the ~
ture can be considered certain. Men are
pledged TO him privately, men are work
ing for him secretly and all the time ne
is nearing the goal of success. his en-
blem ought 10 be the mole, Tor while II
works under ground Il usually ge9s
swoops down upon the unsuspectng Sill
YER chickens in the night. And, if Re
publicanS succeed, there Is no reason
why he should not be chosen. lie IS d
typical Republican. His whole life has
been such as to commend it to Repubh-
cans. He voices the sentiments Of
Hanna. He cares not for the interests
OF the people so long as those wearing a
certain party label may win.
THE ONLY SAFE WAY.
feat. is TO vote the Democratic ticket
straight. The only safety for silver men,
is to support the uncompromising sill
yer party The only thing for, those 10
strike hard from the shoulder full into
the face OF the money changers, IS 10
place cross opposite the rooster on
your ballot Then you will not lose:
Then you viii do that which you viii
have no cause to regret.
Read our Platform and tell me wherein
you disagree with it II you say upon
the tariff question, then l say that We
have pledged ourselves to subordinate the
question of a tariff schedule until silver
is once more restored to its own. II you
say that you disagree with me upon the
taT1n, then / point you to our plalIorHl
which declares for a tariff for revenue.
Not for revenue only but for such a
revenue as will support the government
and which will incidentally give us al the
protection needed. Ii you say that you
disagree with me upon the tariff, point
to our tariff plank, which says, that the
tariff must be adjusted so as to bear
means that such incidental protecuon
as flows from a revenue tariff shall be
given to the wool grower and to the lead
miner as well as to the manufacturers
Under our tariff plank, under a law based
upon its principles, there would be ample
protection to place our people upon an
equality with foreign manufacturers, SO
that they would have no difficulty in COM
peting with all the world. At the same
time there would be full and free com
petition. There would not be a prohibi-
tory tariff behind the walls of which
trusts and syndicates and mohopots grow
like poisonous weeds and faint the air
Of commerce. Our tariff plank Is
thoroughly American, thoroughly Demo-
cratic and it strikes the middle ground
between the views of the extremists on
that question. The man who will intelli-
gently study our position upon the tariff
with unbiased mind, cannot fail TO en-
dorse it.
A NOBLE STAND.
Our platform has been said to be a new
declaration of independence. When read
in that historic convention at Chicago,
twenty thousand voices shouted with JOY.
1t insists that wealth shall be taxed.
Wealth is a tax dodger and We OF the
Democratic party insist that 1t shall dodge
no longer. we declared for a government
by the people and not by the courts
through the aid of injunctions. We de
clared so strongly for the rights OF hu-
mainly, that every tax dcdger, every note
shaver, every bond broker every unlawful
syndicate every bloated monopollst,
everyone of the human birds of prey
cacisle and shout in chorus, that we are
anarchists, dangerous citizens ana foes OF
the peace and quiet Of the money grab
bers We cleansed the Augean stables of
our party. We drove out the Shylocks
and temporizing politicians. we dened
greed. We denounced the administration
of our own party president. We staked
our all upon the patriotic independence Oh
= teae-e 0f-n
without funds from one end of the coun-
try to the other. We are battling against
the combined influence OF the money OF
the world. We nominated Bryan, and he
flung a glitteTing lance full into the race
of piutocracy. We nominated Bryan and
he carried forward the white banner OF
silver until it has been planted under the
very shadow of the citadels OF wall street
The issue is such, that If we lose the
people lose. If we lose humanity VIII sus-
tain a shock from which It will scarce
recover in a generation.
The patriotic stand the bold stand, bold
almost to reclzlessness taken by our party,
makes it worthy of your votes. Gratitude
if nothing else, gratitude to the party
which forced the great issue to the front,
should cause you to help us TO success. l
am not unmindful of the services of the
Republican silver senators in congress,
who, by their unselfish and patriotic
action, emphasized the issue. am not
unnindful of the aid given us by those
who refused to be stultided and who
! loraVely walked out of the st. Louis con-
vention. / am not unmindful of the aid
which we have received from silver Re-
publicans and from Populists, but, after
all ii was the Democratic party which
consecrated its whole self to silver's cause
and it was from the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party that our fearless leader
sprang. The Democratic party of today,
is not the Democratic party of one year
ago. Then it was manipulated from Lom-
bard street and from Wall street Today

REPUBLICANS OF TODAY.
The Republican party of today is Re-
/ publican only in name. Its historic men,
/ cries, breathing freedom to humanity,
! have been wrapped like a mantle about
/ the hideous form OF the p4utocrat that
| he may the better pursue his unhallowed
/ aYocation Of ensiaYing humanity. It's pan
ner is today the rallying point of the
wreckers of human opportunities. Its
/ campaign bank account is filed by con-
! tributions Of the followers of avarice and
! greed, with now and then pound OF
| flesh thrown in, cut flesh from suffering
! humanity. To follow its lead IS to walk
| into the dismal swamp of financial dis
| treSS 1t, and all connected with it, should
! be summed. 1t is folly to attempt to up
| hold it here in its former purity, with all
| the land against you. The strength OF
/ the people which should be concentrated
! is thereby wasted. Let me urge you to
leave it. Abandon it as you would pesti-
/ lence. You have nothing now in COM
mon with it.
BROWN AND HOLBROOK IN HAIR
MONY.

which l give you, in urging you to vote
