furnished by the Silver auartette and
the Misses Youngberg. Attorney w. c.
Hall, II, N. DinWoodey and other cam
didates occupied front seats on the

HON. w. H. DALE.
Hon William H. Dale. Democratic
candidate for mayor, was in the house
of his friends, and the warm reception
accorded him was indicative Of the high
estimate his neighbor fellow citizens
have of his ability, lofty character and
true worth. Mr.. Dale made q brief but
effective speech, in which he made clear
what would be expected Of the next
Democratic city administration. An
economical, progressive, honest and ef-
feient administration Of affairs is
pledged and the fulfillment Of the
promise is certain. The character of
the candidates, their devotion to otfi-
cial duty and fidelity to Democratic
principles are a guarantee OF the exc
cution of the trust the people will re-
pose in them on election day.
EDGAR HOWE.
Edgar Howe, candidate for the coun-
Gil from the Fourth. vas also cordially
received. He characterized the non
partisan movement as one calculated TO
weaken the silver cause and yield ad-
Yantages and power to the goldites.
The Democratic ticket. he said, was
representative of the people and their
interests; the candidates stood on
platform of live issues and correct
principles, while the Republican party
represented neither, and the Demo-
cratic ticket is a safer guarantee of
better form of municipal government
than any the other parties offer.
JAMES II. MOVIES SPEECH.
The theme of the Hon. James H.
Moyle was the issues presented in this
campaign. He declared that no condi-
tons required a citizen or non-partisan
movement because the Democratic
party in Utah had never failed to keep
its pledges. The platform enunciated
year ago for the betterment of ad
mintstrattve affairs in Salt Lake county
was victorious, and the promises then
made have been fully realized. 1t
would. therefore, be an act Of ingrati
tude and unreaSonableneSs to desert
the party now after accomplishing SO
much in the way of good government
for the country. While he disclaimed
questioning the personnel or motives
the non-partisan affair and the self
constituted committees nominees, Mr..
Moyle observed that the great majority
of the Wheel-horseS working for the
success of the mo party ticket, we're
disciples of Mckinley and promoters of
the single gold standard. The under
lying motive of the non-partisan move
ment was inspired by Mark Hanna
He challenged the naming Of the man

campaign. The responsible one was
surely a Mckinley Republican or a
Palmer-Buckner Democrat.
In a year from now the silver issue
viii be again before the people, and
now is the time to prepare to line up
for the battle, The wealth owners of
the country are the ones who want to
reduce the volume OF money. thereby
increasing its value and arraying the
classes against the masses. OF course
there can be no local or state mintins
of money, but the opposition make this
SpeciouS cry. The SOlidtficatiOn of the
silver forces with the Democratic party,
IN which lies all the hope for monetary
reform. is the object Of attack by the
! oddities, who are represented locally
| by the non-parttsans. The intention is
! to disrupt the silver forces, and if the
| election this year and next tends to-
ward McBinleyism the white metals
! enemies viii rejoice. The local goldttes
! are following the lines laid down by the
money power, whose methods are un-
| American and un-Democratic. 1t is an
| insult to the intelligence of the people
| to say that they are not capable of
| choosing their own candidates. The
| people must not be and will not be
| hoodwinked. When a citizens move
} ment is necessary to correct govern
mental abuses, which the Democratic
| party cannot correct, it must come
| from the people. In this city, when the
| nom partisan administration held sway
until two years ago, the people had
| such an experience Of reckless eXtraya,-
| gance and inharmony that the expert
! be repeated Tax reductions is
not the only motive prompt
Ing the non-partisan leaders.
| The Democratic party guarantees
| to tighten the tax burdens and accom-
! plish other economical reforms If the
people fail in their duty by giving sub
stantial aid and comfort to the non
partisan ticket the result will be the
calamity of a Republican victory anc
an injury to the silver cause.
In closing, Mr.. Moyle paid a higE
| tribute to the integrity and capacity
by reason of his sound Judgment anC
ripe experience of Mr.. Dale for The
office of mayor The other candidate.

considerations of family relationships

perience and all are the peers of thost

and tax dodgers.
MRS. FERGUSON.
Mrs. e b Ferguson made a few
! remarks &c demonstrate that q part,
policy or governmental policy benef
cial to the nation was likewise good 70

every voter to show that the division OF
party lines was in sincerity and t,

principles and the party's integrity.
CONGRESSMAN KING.
Congressman W. n. King was tn
last speaker. He said he always be
lieVed it to be his duty to adrocat
and defend the principles of the Demo
