SENATOR SHOOTS SPLENDID
TRIBUTE.
After the applause which greeted
Senator Rideout's eloquent speech a
subsidized, Senator Smoot arose and said:
1t would be p-resumptuous in me to at
tempt a display of oratory after the
nave a few words to say before casting
my ballot. The blessing of wealth has
been bestowed on my candidate, it is
true, but his money came to him by

De1ore touching upon this subject at all.
out the inuendos which ave been so
many times cast at Mr.. a. w. McCune
nave forced me to my feet; they demand
that l speak out in defense of him.
In the early days of this state when

or this city, l first came in contact with
MN. lie pulled me out of the mud more
than once, and l learned to know and to
| love MIN Tor his integrity his honesty and
his push.
L have yet to hear that he has ever lone
a dishonorable or taken a dishonest dol
lar. AS a contractor he stood by others
when oftentimes he alone was between
them and ruin. AS IN employer he was
beloved always by his men. While he is.
or oratory, be has been granted the quail
ltleS OF push, purpose and integrity.
is 1t possible to say that it is a crime
10 have acquired means? Is it possible
that the day of self-made men is past and
that men must have q collegiate educa-
ton before they can aspire TO the highest
let us announce to the poor that their
sons have no hope; let us tell each father
and mother that men are of no service to
the people unless they are LAWYERS and
orators; that, do what they may. to them
is no longer granted the privilege and
to this?
Let any one say that A. w. McCune ac-
quired his wealth dishonorably and l will
quit him at once. But 1 know better. I
know that his means came to him by his
own energies his own ability, and that he
made himself what he is today by his own
efforts. He will make a senator as worthy
as any who are now in the halls of con-
greSs. We all know that he is a self
made man; that he is safe and reliable.
We all believe that it is right to support
an honest employer, not a dictator of
men, not of those who herd men like
cattle to the polls, but a Democrat, a
true-hearted. public-spirited Democrat.
When We find men of his character,
who. 1 regret, have by their own ener-
gies arrived at the station where we now
IND him. shall We deprive ourselves of
their valuable services where, of all
places. they will be most valuable to US?
Let any member dare to name a dishon-
orable act, a d~ishonorable method used by
him in the past, and then, and not till
then, VIII 1 cease to vote for Hon. A. w.
The applause that greeted Senator
Shoots magnificent extemporaneous
speech was hearty and prolonged.
President Nebeker, who has all along
voted for Powers, joined the King pro-
c%ession, as did also Representative
Cook.
Belts FOR KING.
The first representative to make a
speech was Belts of Utah county.
I wish also to speak a few words at
this time. | possess 10 oratOrical
gifts and l am rude of speech, but 1
have just as honest conviction as any
man here. l represent one of the best
counties in this fair state of Utah. and
l speak with the voice of the people
when l speak for a man who has al
ways stood by the people and who has
always filled every office granted him
with credit TO h state or county. 1
defy any man to throw any stigma or
siur upon his name. 1t is true, he has
not made money, but by his own hon
esty and integrity he has won his way
to the front ranks. of men. We need
brains in congress, we need men who
will speak with the voice of the COM
mon people, and such is the man whom
Utah county wants sent to the senate.
l cast my vote for that friend of the
people, William H. King"
ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO KING.
Representative Fisher took the floor
to say:
For thirty-seven times 1 have voted
for the candidate of my choice, but in
direct limitations have gone out that
it is our duty to dispose of this ques-
ton without further delay. Two years
ago., I'll remind those who are thus ad-
viSing, the same course that l am fol-
lowing was pursued by these same
gentlemen through ffty-three ballots.
l say it is better that we elect no SEN
ator at all than to make a mistake.
Nothing but words of commentator
have l for all the candidates, but some
thing else is necessary. As l have as
%certained the choice of my Davis cOun-
ty constituents, it is for hat peerless
statesman, William H. King. He also
is a self-made man, and we need him
to help strive for h reconciliation
