vored circumstances. They meet I'M
der the most pleasant auspices and
hear the ablest expound the mysteries
of politics. The women have done
good deal of campaigning this fall and
they report that the filthy pool of pol
itics, of which we have hear so much,
must have been dredged and cleaned
out by the gentlemen, for they had not
found conditions such as they had
been led to expect.
Mrs. Cannon then spoke of Susan 3.
Anthony's advice TO the women OF
Utah, not to vote for B. FL. Roberts
because he was an anti-woman sui
fragist. The Democratic women's an
swer to the noble Susan B. Anthony,
and she is really a noble woman, is
that the world moves and it has been
moving in Utah since the constitu-
tional convention was in session, and
B. H. Roberts has moved with the
world, and he is no longer an anti
suffragist, and furthermore, the wom-
en- of Utah will answer on Nov. s, we
have elected B. II. Roberts to congress
and he will be one of those champions
from the west whom Mrs. Anthony
calls for to help pass the sixteenth
amendment to the constitution. The
same reply will be made to Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster
Mr.. Roberts was not my candidate"
declared the senator. I'm the conven-
ton, with Mrs. Jakeman, who sat over
yonder, l fought him, but now he is
my candidate. (Applause) We women
fought it out with the brethren at that
time, they won and we abide by the
result
Mrs. Cannon then turned her atten-
ton to the speech delivered by Cover
nor Wells at the Republican meeting
on Friday night in which the governor
said it was a great unwisdom for Rob
erts, in his predicament, whatever that
may be, to accept the nomination and
great unwisdom on the part of the
Democratic party to confer it upon him.
The only ones, said Mrs. Cannon, who
will suffer from the great unwisdom
would be those Republicans who urged
the nomination of 3. H. Roberts be-
cause they thought it would be the
means of splitting the Democratic
party in two. They would find they had
bearded a young lion in his den and
that B. H Roberts would be returned
triumphantly by united Democracy.
Governor Wells was wrong when he
said that B. H. Roberts election would
| be q menace to the dominant church.
J The church, as far as the speaker knew
or had ever heard, was not troubling
itself about B. II. Roberts or any other
candidate. The leaders of the church
are sufficiently wise and astute to look
after the interests of their church. If
there was anything of the kind to be
| feared prominent members of the
/ church who were in the convention
which nominated B. H. Roberts would
have done something to prevent his
nomination, but they didn't
Mrs. Cannon, in conclusion, predicted
| that the year 1900 would be big with
great events, particularly in regard -
silver and woman suffrage, and 3. h.
| Roberts would play his part in it, for
! he will not only be elected now, but will
be reelected in 1900, and he and Will
! lam Jennings Bryan will be great
! champions of silver and woman suf-
! frage.
The ladies' quartette again favored
the audience with a selection and then
cohort of High school pupils came
onto the stage carrying flags and treat
| ed the audience to the High school yell
and the boys were loudly applauded.
CONGRESSMAN KING.
Congressman King was next called
on.
In opening he expressed his pleasure
at being present to discuss the issues
of the campaign, and then paid his re-
spects to the address of Governor
J Wells at the theatre on the previous
| evening.
Il read few moments ago." he be-
! gan, Some remarkable statements
made by gentleman in this hall last
evening. 1t is very evident that efforts
are being made to obscure the real
! questions of the campaign and intro
| duce matters which have no relevancy
| to the issues before US, and it seems
that in their supreme effort to detract
attention from the real questions they
have invoked the aid of the states chief
! executive.
''In the report of his speech the gov
ernor is alleged to have said that he
was sorry he had to mention some-
thing that ought not to be mentioned.
Then, why did he mention it? If there
are matters which have no place in TIE
campaign why did he bring it up. In
his great peroratiOn-for l suppose it
was a peroration-he said let us have
peace Did he mean that peace can
only be attained by the defeat of the
Democratic party. Why is it neces-
sary, in order to have peace in Utah,
the Democratic party be defeated
Why is it necessary to defeat Roberts
in order to have peace? / know it
would please the Tribune and the Hon
orable Alma Eldredge. Perhaps that
fact is a sufficient explanation as to
why this spectral from who like Ban
quo's ghost, refuses to down, has been
II.
The governor, in his address. says
he doesn't know whether the seat OF
Roberts will be contested or not, should
he be elected, which carries with it the
inference that it ought to be- Perhaps
the governor is hoping for it in order
that he might issue q commission t.
Alma Eldredge and send him to con.
gress.''
Continuing, the speaker said if the
/ rp w In, e,+ :,
their cry for peace, they should turn
in and help the Democrats bury ques-
tions that had better be forgotten
But" he said. 1.-The finances of the
country is the great overshadowing
question before the people, and the Re
publicans, by reason of their attitude
know they stand no chance of electins
their candidates, hence they have re
sorted to these methods in order to dis
tract peoples attention from the rea
issues before them
The speaker then took up a discus
sion of the financial question and es
tablished some truths for the voters II
ponder over. He pointed out that thu
policy Of the Republican party is Il
establish a great money trust, as they
have fostered other trusts, and turn
the financial affairs of the country owe
to the banks and private corporations
; The Republicans of Utah endorsed tn,
administration which favors the es
tablishment Of the gold standard l
; was true that the St Louis platform
declared for bimetallism by interna
|. tional consent, but the Republicans o
Utah well know that such consen
cannot be obtained. In substantiatiol
of this assertion he quoted the word
of Bertram Curry, representing Eng
land at the Brussels meeting, when a
the conclusion of a speech he said t
the American commissioners: Il hop
have now convinced you, gentlemen
of the impossibility of securing bi
, metallism by international agreement
