The great "Unwashakied" Democracy
of Weber county was out in force last
night, polling the heaviest vote ever
known to have been pOlled at political
primaries in the county. The "insur-
gents" as the Cannon Democrats are
coming 20 be known, did everything in
their power to keep people from par
ticipating in the PRIMARIES Monday
night they sent speakers to nearly
every precinct outside of the county,
having advertised great meetings there
on the previous Sunday. The speakers
denounced the county committee and
attacked the legality of the primaries.
They flooded the country with an
anonymous circular, addressed TO the
Democratic men and women of Weber
county, which recited that the regular
organization had been seized by poll
ticians, to be used against the national
Democracy. The circular pointed out
that every man or woman of Democrat
ic faith who lends his or her presence
and vote at the primaries called by
said fraudulent committee to meet on
Tuesday, the 9th inst, is by said vote
endorsing the fraud, etc, etc, etc.
The insurgents" hired the band and
had it parade the streets, followed by
placards announcing meeting in the
evening At 1nOUldS Hail, 10 DE dQ-
dressed by Senator Cannon and others.
Thomas Hall had been designated as
the place for holding the primary of
the Second ward, but by some over
sight the hall was not secured and the
place had TO be changed. Checkers and
watchers were stationed at the polls
by the Cannon people to warn people
away after they arrived, but neYerthe-
less q heavy vote was cast. This, too,
in the face of the fact that there was
no opposition. People simply turned
out to record their confidence in the
committee and their appreciation of the
new method of holding the primary.
Even the Cannon people admit that the
new method is much more orderly and
convent, ut than the other method.
In the haste some Mckinley Repub-
licans slipped in to vote on wagers that
they could do so. One or two voted, but
the others were stopped.
