should advance this argument, because
that party has demonstrated its iLlGil-
ity 20 give good government But the
Democrats have never been given the
opportunity of controlling the city, al
though they have given and are giving
the county Of Salt Lake City the best
administration in the line of economy
it ever had. Mr. Dunbar then present
ed Hon. C. S. Kinney as chairman of
the meeting.
SENATOR RAWL1NS.
Mr., Kinney made few remarks of an
introductory character and introduced
Hon. Joseph Il RaWlinS, United States
senator from Utah
Mr.. Rawlins said we we're confronted
by peculiar conditions in this that Dem
ocratS were being asked to abandon
their principles and vote for a negative
proposition. The Democracy has de-
ciared i'll its national platform for the
free coinage Of silver and the local con-
vention endorsed it. The Republicans
declared against silver in national con-
vention and the local meeting dared not
endorse OF condemn it. The party
which seeks your suffrages has sent
commissioners to England to beg it's
permission to coin its own product into
money. Can you, who want silver, af-
ford to cast your ballots for that party?
Locally. Mr.. Rawlins said that if
there was any trouble anent the
finances of this city there was but one
party TO blame and that was the Re
door and it should be held responsible
Last year the people of this state en-
dorsed the silver principle by a major
ity of $4,000.
This year. when the people sent dele
gates to the city convention they
declared in favor of that same prin-
ciple.
Now, if the principle of the citizens
reform party be correct, how are the
people to be recognized? OF course
half dozen men can get together and
nominate ticket. No one denies that.
But what is the status of that parry?
What do they promise you? Have they
any principles beyond specious prom
ises?
For instance. Mr.. Hills is gold
standard, low tax. free trade Democrat,
while Mr.. Lanran is a high protective
Republican, who has stood sponsor for
the administration here for five years.
They represent different principles.
Elect such men and they will quarrel
over methods. 1t is better to have a
Republican administration than a mon
grei, because one is an applica ton of
principles which can be rejected, while
the other is not, and from its actions
where is the recourse?
Mr.. Rawlins said it had been said of
Mr.. Dale that he had not been here long
enough This is not a time to bring up
such matters. He has come here with
his wife and children and has become
part of us. His interests are here
With thousands of others WHO have
helped build up the city. No truthful
man ever looked him in the eye and
said he was not true. 1t is said he
represents an investment company
here. True He handles and has han
died thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Of money owned by
men in distant states. If ne was not
honest he could not handle a cent of
that money
Mr.. Rawlins declared that Mr. Dale
could be trusted.
"A few days ago we heard voice
from Indianapolis and another from
Chattanooga. They both declared for
silver. What Shall Salt Lake City an
swer? That we have selected a horde
script a gold man or a free silver
Democrat?"
Following Mr.. Rawlins, the Young
berg sisters delighted the audience win
one OF their pleasing duets The audi
ence was pleased and wanted more
They got it.
Mr. Kinney called attention to the
fact that last year the Democrats
rolled up 10000 majority in Utah for
silver Salt Lake City contributed 5000
majority There is the milk in the
coeoanut That is the reason why the
Republican newspapers have combined
to elect a mongrel ticket. That is why
they combined in the "cinching room
Of the Deseret bank and nominated a
ticket. The silver question is an issue.
DIR. MATTE H. CANNON.
DR.. Matte H. Cannon was the next
speaker. Her address was specially
interesting. She alluded to the fact
that science, by discovering the cause
OF disease, could prevent dissolution
and prolong life. Nations were some
thing like men. BY discovering the
cause of decay, dissolution may be pre-
vented The Democratic party has
raised up physician in the person of
William j. Bryan and it is the duty of
the people to stand by him
Just as poor, storm tossed Utah gets
ready to divide on party lines and does
divide, we find ourselves afflicted with
this non-partisan malady. Medicine

vented from spreading by paiDtinS.

to the polls election day, vote the
Democratic ticket and paint ring
OF iodine around the non-partisan aii-
ment lest it spread. Because if per
mitted to exist, it may spread to the
county and then to the state. Just
mark an X up by the rooster and let it
so at that. Utah IS Democratic and al
Ways will be. The motto should be.
Down with plutocracy and up with
Democracy
DR.. Cannon said Mr. Game had ad-
yised US ITO think it over" We'll. the
women were thinking it over and would
vote the Democratic ticket.
D. 3, HAMPSTEAD.
D. B. Hampstead was the next sneak
er. Dave made a rafting good speech.
The Republican party's position in
this campaign seems TO be TO sustain
the doctrine Of high taxation brings
greatest prosperity" But the others
are not SO consistent. Their morning
