BOOMERANG FOR WOOL MEN
CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR WILL
INJURE THE G. o. P.
Cattle and Horse Men of Northeast
ern Utah Have Been Aroused By
the Methods of the Sheep Men.
Especial Correspondence


Vernal, Nov. 4.-The appeal of the
Woolgrowers' association to the flock
master, in which they are advised to
make quiet, but determined effort to
capture the next legislature, for the
purpose of repeating legislation which
they consider inimical to the sheep in
terest, is forming a very decided issue
in the campaign now on in this sec
ton.
Copies of the circulars have been
printed by the Democratic committee,
and are being circulated freely
throughout the county, which has been
the means of arousing the cattlemen
and ranchers to their own interests,
and a decided stand will no doubt be
taken on both sides. The people gen.
orally seem to think that the sheepmen
are too selfish in the matter, and are
considering no other interest than their
own.
The circulars were intended in the
first place to circulate secretly among
the sheepmen, but by chance some of
them fell into other hands, and now
they are fiuttering all over the county.
Cattlemen are up in arms over the
matter, and declare that they are
forced into the position Of defending
themselves, as one place in the circular
reads as follows, and is believed to be
aimed at them:
NO woolgrower should vote for a
man whom he knows or even suspects
is hostile to the wool industry"
AS every man who has cattle or
horses on the range would be a ''sus-
pect," it follows that the hand of every
wool man would be raised against any
candidate who would come under that
head.
Naturally there is considerable feel
ing over the matter and there will be
a considerable falling off in the lRepub-
lican vote in consequence.

LAST GUN Ar PAYsoN.
s. R. Thurman and S. A. King the
Speakers.
Especial to The Herald.)

Payson, Nov. IA grand Democratic
rally at the opera, house closed the cam
paign in this precinct tonight. The
visiting speakers were S. r. Thurman,
S. A. King and Mrs. May Brown Spen-
Ger, all of Provo. Distinguished ladies
and gentlemen were on the stage.
Chairman A. S. Higham called the
meeting to order at p. M, and intro
duced Hon. S. r. Thurman, who said
every candidate on the Democratic
ticket will be elected throughout the
state The verdict of the returns will
be that the Republican party is guilty
as charged in the indictment. The
speaker discussed the silver question
and declared the Republican platform
was all things to all men, The Repub-
licans talk only of Roberts and say
nothing of the merits and qualifications
of Eldredge. The ridiculous cartoons
of the Tribune are considered politics.
Would we trust our sons with Rob-
erts, or with Goodwin for moral train
ing?" They got Governor Wells to
make a speech, not on silver nor pro-
lection nor tariff, but on the character
of Roberts relations and on polygamy
since 1890. There has never been Re
publican ticket without the name of
polygamists upon 1t, and Governor
Wells voted these tickets.
The speaker referred to an interview
of George Q. Cannon, which was a
monstrous falsehood President Part
ridge and President Cannon both say
that lies are published in these inter
views.
Mrs. May Brown Spencer was next
introduced as the Utah county re-
corder She said she would render the
best service of which she was capable
and she denied reports that her hus-
band would be her deputy.
Hon. S. A. King was next introduced
and occupied the balance of the even
ing.
The Republicans rally held here to-
night at the tabernacle was nearly a
failure. Few people were there, al
though the silver band did its best to
gather a crowd. The speakers were
Arthur Stayner and James Whitehead,
the candidate for county assessor. The
meeting was out early and was termed
q dry rally.

CARBON COUNTY RooRBAcK.
Desperate Schemes Resorted to BY
the Republicans.
Especial to The Herald.)

Price, Utah. Noy. THE desperate
efforts resorted to by the Republicans
of this county are shown in a handful
which was printed late tonight and cir
culated on the streets, and has been
sent out in large quantities TO all vot-
ing precincts in the county. The hand
bill shows two affidavits. One is sign
ed by an Italian named Sanstchi, who
saws one ]. Dexter Smith offered him
funds to be used for the defeat of Mil
Ter, the Republican candidate for repre-
sentative. The other affidavit is signed
by Miller himself, who says that Smith,
who asked him for $3.50 tie use at Castle
Gate Ito stop the corruption fund to
be sent there by Fisher Harris, which
will be large fund"
Smith was formerly editor of the
Eastern Utah Advocate.
Democrats regard the handful as a
ridiculous roorback. which will indu-
ence no voters, as the idea of a corrup-
ton fund being sent TO Carbon county
by Fisher Harris is considered too abb
surd for serious consideration No at.
tempt is made to show that the Dem
ocrats were connected with Smith, and
he was probably instigated by Repub-
licans in making these propositions In
fact, it looks like a put-up job all the
way through, and indicates that the
Republicans are driven to desperation.

G. O. P.'S DIRTY METHODS
VIGOROUS IDENTIFICATION OF
FIGHT AGAINST ROBERTS.
The Senator Addresses Republicans
at Willard and Declares the Re
publican Record Is One of Broken
Promises-zane Should Be Re
placed By a Silver Man.
By Telephone to The Herald,


Willard, Nov. Frank j. Cannon
spoke here this morning, under the
auspices of the Democratic precinct
committee. He addressed himself es-
pecially to Republicans, and made a
very strong argument in support of
Hon. B. H. Roberts and the whole
Democratic ticket. The Republican
record was one of broken promises, es-
pecially with regard to silver. He pro-
posed to vote for B. H. Roberts and
Judge Basl1in. There were three gold
bugs on the supreme bench now, and
1t was time one of them, Zane, was
retired for a silver man, representing
the people.
The record of the Republican candi-
date for congress showed that he was
not bimetallist, and he should not be
supported. Should he be sent to Wash
ington, Eldredge would have to vote
with his party.
He denounced the methods being
used against b. H, Roberts, and said if
the old issues were revived it would be
because the Republicans had revived
them. Senator Cannon's denunciation
of these methods applied particularly to
Heber NJ. Wells, although he was not
mentioned by name.

The Republicans of this county are
making no fight at all; they simply

DEMOCRATS AT RIcHFIELp.
Wound Up the Campaign With a
Grand Demonstration.
(speclal to The Herald. J

Richfield, Nov. 1.-The Democrats of
this county, and especially this city,
have been taking this town by storm
today. Early this afternoon the band
was out anG played almost the entire
afternoon until o'clock. Extemporane-
Gus Street speeches have been made,
the Democratic candidates have been
canvassing, and the whole town has as
suE1ed a Democratic air.
To put a climax on this years short
campaign, the Democrats held a final
grand rally at the opera house in this
city tonight. The band, followed by a
long line of torchlights, carried by a
large number of voters, made a thor
ough circuit of the business portion of
the city, and finally returned to the
opera house, to find the house so COM
Dletely filed that it was hard work to
even make room for the band
County Chairman F. W. Mcdaniel
acted as chairman of the meeting, and
after several appropriate selections by
the band, Hon. B. H. Greenwood, can
didate for representative from this
county, made an able speech of about
half an hour. The rest of the candi-
dates were all present, and, with a few
exceptions, made short speeches. The
entire town is almost straight Demo-
cratic, if the demonstration is any
basis to count on

few minutes the whole interior OF this

aided the fire department in fighting
the flames, which were got under con-
troll before daylight. The cause of the
fire is not positively known, but it is
thought to have started from crossed
electric light wires in the car shop. 1t

pany was burned, causing loss of

II. J. Small, superintendent of the
motive power and machinery in the
railroad shops, said today that the fire
which took place this morning started
IN the upholstery department, where
work had ceased at o'clock Saturday
night. The power in that department
was supplied by electricity, and it is
possible that the fire was started by a
live wire. The fire affects car work
exclusively. All the iron work, mill
work and the work of making trim
mings for cars will stop. From the
upholstery department the hame av-
eled rapidly to the planning Il md
cabinet shops, which cOntained st
amount of seasoned timber and q eat
lot of expensive mac cry. The place
was soon a mass o. ames, and was
destroyed in an incredibly short time.
Through the heroic efforts of the fire
men the flames were cut off at the
boiler rooms, and that portion of the
shop was saved. Had the flames ell
tered the boiler room, it would have
amounted to the closing down of every
department. because of the lack Of
power. There was such q heavy de-
mand for cars that the shops would
have been kept running to their full
capacity nearly all winter. Superin-
tendent Small said he presumed that
the buildings would be erected again,
but that the matter would have to be
considered by the railroad authorities.
If the buildings were put up again, he
said, there would probably be changes
from the general plans. SUperintend-
ent Small estimates the loss at $500, 900.

Special Correspondence.)

Mona, Nov. IA great closing DEM
ocratic rally was held here this after
noon in the opera house, and was elo-
quently addressed by T. H. Holtzheim-
er, esq, and County Attorney Pike. The
meeting was presided over by Bishop G.
E. Nelson.
Mr.. Holtzheimer spoke mainly upon
the financial question, and showed
clearly that the Republican party, as
a national organization, was the enemy
of silver, and the Republican party of
Utah would be helpless to aid the cause
of silver if it desired to do so, but with
such silver champions" as Arthur
Brown, Glen Miller, Alma Eldredge
and John Henry Smith, there was no
danger of their trying. He touched
upon the Dingley bill and asked his
hearers if they had seen the glittering
chariot of prosperity yet upon their
streets since the passage of the Won
derful double-barreled plan of legisla-
ton bill had become a law.
He reached out and smote Governor
Wells for his perfidy, and read the
Kansas City letter Of the executive,
and showed that he is not only insin-
cere, but dishonest. Mr.. Holtzheimer
closed with an appeal for the earnest
and determined support of the whole
ticket, and victory was assured.
County Attorney Pike gave a brief
review of the local situation. He
showed what the price of silver meant
to the agricultural interests and the
laboring classes of this county. He
compared the present prices of agri-
cultural products with prices before the
demonstration of silver, or before it's
evil effect swere largely felt.
The meeting was the largest and
most enthusiastic held here this cam
paign. The speakers were cheered fire.

RESULT IN DAVIS COUNTY.
Roberts and Baskin Will Have 400
Or 500 Majority.
Especial Correspondence.)


Kaysville, Nov. 7.-On the eve of the
and Republican county chairmen ex-
press themselves as confident of vic
tory. An energetic campaign has been
waged, but in the matter of good
speakers the Democrats have had much
the best of the contest. Rallies have,
as rule, been well attended and there
has been an evident desire on the part
of the people to become acquainted
with the issues before them. This is
taken as an evidence that victory will
come to the Democratic cause, for the
sound argument has all been in favor
of Democracy.
Interviews were obtained with the
chairmen of both parties. Charles e.
Pearson, Democratic county chairman,
when asked for his opinion of the re-
suit in Davis county, said:
Il feel certain that Mr.. Baskin will
obtain the largest majority of any can
didate on the ticket even exceeding
Mr. Roberts by about so votes. A very
conservative estimate, and one that I
am confident will be realized, gives
Roberts a majority of 400 over Ed
redge, and Baskins majority will be
about $50. Both may receive slightly
larger majorities than these.
Our legislative and county ticket
VIII be elected by safe maJor1t1eS, but
the detection caused by the Citizens
party movement will make the vote on
the local ticket much closer than it has
heretofore been"
CHAIRMAN SMITHS CLAIMS.
County Chairman Jesse NJ. Smith of
the Republican party said:
I'VE are going to win everything on
the ticket below Eldredge. Roberts
will, of course, receive a small majority
here in his home county, but Zane will
certainly carry a larger vote than Bas-
kin in Davis county. Jacob Miller will
be elected to che legislature over the
Democratic nominee, John Fisher, and
the entire Republican and Citizens
fusion ticket will be elected by small
majorities. No; 1 don't care to say
how much Mr.. Roberts majority will
be, but it will be small, assure you"
1t will be seen from the estimates as
to the relative strength of Baskin and
Zane that there is wide difference of
opinion, Mr.. Pearson believing Baskin
will lead his ticket and Mr. Smith
holding that Zane is certain to receive
a majority.

Draper, Nov. THE Democratic
meeting at Rideout's hall tonight was
largely attended.
D. o. Rideout was the first speaker.
He entered into a review of the records
of the two great parties. and showed
how the Republicans had departed
from the doctrines of Lincoln, Garfield
and Blaine, and quoted from Lincoln
in regard to the mining industry. He
eulogized Senator Cannon for leaving
the st. Louis convention.
Moses Thatcher followed with an ar
gumentative address, in which he first
discussed the financial question. The
banding together of the capitalists of
the country to aid the Republicans
showed the danger that threatened the
people.
The addresses were listened to with
close attention, and We're frequently
applauded.

Smith spoke to a fairly good house to-
night. There was some enthusiasm, oc-
casioned mostly, however, by refer
ences to various and sundry funny in
cidents. The audience listened to a
tariff argument, second only to that
given by Postmaster Thomas some
weeks ago, being almost identical. The
speaker said he was proud to belong to
the school of Washington, Hamilton,
Lincoln, Grant, and proud to belong to
the school of Mckinley. The Hon John
Henry let the silver question entirely
alone, and, like former Republican
speakers undertook to use the late war
for catching votes. The speaker told
several stories, and said that the

Brigham City. Nov. THE opera
house was crowded tonight to hear SEN
ator Brown and Secretary of State
Hammond. Mayor Erdmann was chair
man of the meeting. After a song by
the Ladies' Glee club, the chairman in
troduced Mr.. Hammond, who congrat-
ulated the Republicans of the town and
state upon being together again, and
with such an outlook for a great vic
tory tomorrow. He belittled the silver
movement. and said the tariff was the
real issue. He endeavored TO convince
the audience that through the election
of Democratic president the values of
all property went down, and the only
time when the people were prosperous
was when we had the Republican party
in power. He tried to show that the
only way to get free coinage of silver
was to put implicit trust in the Repub-
lican party and go it blind.
He then proceeded to read this morn
ing's interview with George Q. Cannon
in the Tribune, when he was inter
rupted by Sheriff Davis from the aud
fence, asking the privilege of a ques-
ton. After reading the interview, Mr..
Hammond asked for the question.
Mr.. Davis said: 81 do not believe
you would knowingly misrepresent
anything. or state that which you do
not believe to be true but"
At this point Hammond refused to al
low Mr.. Davis to proceed, as he had the
floor. and did not intend Mr., Davis to
make a speech. He called upon the
chair to sustain him, and Mr.. Davis
was forced to subside.

his alleged work against woman's suf-
frage and lauded Eldredge to the skies
After sone by Mrs. Lottie Cozier,
Mr.. Brown was introduced. He said
protection was the great question be-
fore the people. Everything prosperous
was from a Republican source, while
disaster and debt was Democratic. His
talk did not have much weight, and
will not make vote difference in this
city tomorrow, when a big Democratic
majority may be looked for in the
county.
