1t is more or less of the unknown guam
tity in local politics. Last night when
Judge King began his address there
were &c braves in the room. a few
had left and others came in later
c. A. Smurthwaite gave a brief his
tory of the formation of the club, say
ing it was the outgrowth of a fear that
men who we're gold standard men at
heart. He denied. that the members
were politicians. Judge Weber beinS
the only one amongst them.
Judge King made strong speech
eulogistic in the extreme of Democrat
ic principles and advocating a straight
Democratic ticket. Democracy, he
said, knows no politicians. This new
century that gave the great leaders of
Democracy, gave also a new spirit of
liberty. Democracy stands today for
all that is strong and helpful for the
people. No government can exist that
is half Democratic and half plutocratic,
and no good can come out Of a govern
ment that mas the seeds of discord and
anarchy within it. No government has
liberty that has children crying daily
, for bread.
eve must not disband until we have
given industrial emancipation. Wealth
does not develop our country. Pros
perity comes from the feeling that
every man is the real equal of his fell
low"
For about half an hour the speaker
continued, being frequently interrupted
with applause as some particularly
eloquent period recounting the tri-
racy was rounded out. His character
ization of the million as the new unit
in the arithmetic of the rich brought
out cheering
THE, NON PARTISAN MOVEMENT.
Referring to the local campaign here
and in Salt Lake Mr.. King said: L
! am coming here again, braves, if youll
let me {cheers) and if you VIII nomi-
| nate a straight Democratic ticket I'll
| come and stump every ward in your
| city if need be to carry the day.
! (Cheers.) We are not going to aban-
! don the Democratic party. Look out
for this seductive non-paptisan ar
rangement. Beware of the Greeks when
they come bearing gifts. (War whoops.)
! Isn't it significant that this non-par-
tisan movement should spring up sim
uItaneously from Salt Lake to st
| George? (Cheering) We have the
right ON cur side and must ultimately
triumph, as the day viii come when
| these grand principles will be i'm
| planted in every patriot breast
