Vigorous Speeches BY RawlinS,
Henderson and M0yle.
SCORED THE FUSIONISTS
ONLY ONE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
IN WEBER COUNTY.
Senator Rawlins Urges the Voters to
Vote the Democratic Ticket and
Vote 1t Straight-Chairman Moyle
Denies That State COMMITTEES Has
Recognized the Boilers.

Three meetings were held in Ogden
last night, under the auspices OF the
B Democratic committee. State leaders
addressed the meetings almost entirely
on the local issues, opposing the fusion
lists and urging support for the straight
Democratic ticket Chairman Moyle
was particularly severe in his scoring
of the Cannon ticket, declaring that
this ticket was not. recognized by the
state committee and. that it was not
being supported or encouraged by Rod
erts nor BaSkin.
Senator Rawlins spoke at Mound
Fort, where the hall was well filled, ana
also at the Fifth ward amusement hail,
where about 100 were gathered. Sena-
tor Rawlins spoke strongly for silver
and for straight Democracy. After
showing what the party had done for
the free coinage principle, the speaker
said: I believe the Democratic party
to be for everything that is fair and
right and will tend to the betterment OF
mankind. L want you TO vote that tick
ct and no other. Vote ii straight, from
top to bottom. There should be no FAC
tons here nor elsewhere. Why should
this county be different from any lther
county in Utah? Why should UIdh be
different from any other free coinage
state in her method of political action!
Mr. Rawiins said further, of the Pop
ulist party, that there was no room for
it to be a great party and that the
needed reforms must come through one
or the other of the dominant parties.
In the Third ward about 100 We're
present. Daniel Hamer made short
address, paying his respects to Mr..
Kiesel's proposed sugar bounty act. He
also scored Senator Cannon, referring
to him as a PopuliSt advocate of the
initiative and referendum, and saying
that while the issue had been practic-
ally narrowed down to the election OF
this one man, he could not be elected,
even should he secure the vote OF every
legislator elected from Weber county.
Chairman Moyle followed. He said:
Il am not making political speeches,
but on, account of the peculiar condi-,
lions in this county L have gone out OF
my way to come here. 1t seems that
certain portion of the party has claimed
that it is the Democratic party, recog=
nized by the state committee. It is folly
for me to come here and say that is
not so. There is but one party recog-
nized by the committee, and that is the
regular Democratic party. That is all
there is to it. 1t is true the fusion peo-
pie wrote a letter to the committee,
asking for a few song books. 1t has
have those books who we thought would
use them, and the secretary, unknown
to me, let them have a few books, never
dreaming that we would be considered
as having recognized any party but the
straight Democratic party, which is
the only one the state organization
recognizes or affiliates with. If Mr..
Baskin and Mr.. Roberts were here they
would vote none but the straight ticket
l am happy to say that, except in
Weber county, Democratic differences
have been patched up, and I say TO you
of Weber, be true to the Democratic
party. 1 want to say again, don't allow
ranks of the Democratic party"
E. A Mcdaniel was the next speaker.
He denied that Mr.. Cannon had been
recognized as a Democrat by the ma
tional leaders, and quoted Chairman
Jones as saying to him that, were he a
resident of Utah, he would likely sup
port another mana Simon-pure Dem
ocrat. in conclusion, he said: Il want
you to understand that Senator Jones
disclaims any intention to influence
any one in Utah to vote for Senator
Cannon"
Judge II. p. Henderson said that
there was but one Democratic party
There were sometimes crooked Demo-
Gratis, but there was but the one party,
always straight. He denounced the at
lacks made upon Mr.. Roberts, bitterly
censuring the Republicans for attempt. i
ing 10 agltate and stir up old issues.
Referring to the local question, he sar-
castically stated that the so-called sir
yer party of Weber. county was going
TO settle the silver question at once.
Mr.. Cannon has party with which |
he proposes to remonetize silver. He
don't understand the Democratic party.
If he will read the history of the Dem |
ocratic party for the past two years,
he viii find that he cannot control the |
Democratic party that way"
He likened the Cannon movement to |
the Palmer and Buckner movement of !
49, and said that it would meet with !
the same fate. He stated that there !
We're but two parties in the campaign
the Democratic and the Republican, |
and asked the people to take one side |
or the other and not affiliate with the |
''stragglers." Said he: Stand by your /
party and vote your party ticket and !
don't forget your principles because |
you hate somebody"
