fusionists in Weber county. 4 claim that
/ we are the only true Democrats-the
others are the boilers Washington was
called an insurgent once.
why should Utah, the banner silver
state, lose heart and refuse to re-elect
Senator Cannon? I do not blame Sena-
tor Cannon for voting against the Ding
ley bill; he was the man above all
others who worked for the protection
of the wool and lead industries; but
Mark Hanna had certain schedules
tackled onto that bill, in the interest OF
nonopoliee, and he voted against it.
Senator Cannon is a statesman, not an
ordinary politician; if he had accepted
the patronage of this state offered him,
by Mark Hanna, he could have been
reelected by that influence as a Dem
ocrat, or as a Republican. He is a
Democrat in everything but name, and
represents the forces of light in Utah
