The Democratic Workingmen's club
held rousing meeting last night at
their headquarters, being addressed by
Judge Timmony, d. c. Dunbar and
others, who ripped the opposition up
the back and down the front, support
ed by cold facts, rather than oratorical
fire.
Chairman Berry threw a flower at
Judge Timmony in introducing him
and the judge received a, welcome that
couldn't possibly have been more ex-
prcssive OF the favor in which he is
-eld by the working public
Judge Tjmmony, in his address, said
1t is not so important what the names
Of the men are who govern the city
for the next two years, so long as they
are Democrats.
you remember four years ago. said
the judge, when the Republicans went
in office. You remember, too, that
three months before their term
of office expired, the leaders of the
party were so disheartened that they
had to work UP non-paTtisan move
ment. In ten years we have not had
a complete Democratic administration,
and we know that we don't want any
more RepubicanisIn, much less non
partisan. One dose of either is enough
for the next decade
Judge Timmony was frequently in
terrupted by applause and when he.
had concluded was given a tremendous
ovation.
Adam paul recited The Pollygot,"
a very clever selection, in dialect.
Dunbar On Local Issues.
D. c. Dunbar began with a brief his
tory of the origin of the Democratic
party to show its friendship for the
laboring man, then went into the local
situation, with City Councilman Rob
ertson and ]. z. Dolly prominent tar
gets.
Look at the city council records.
said MIR. Dunbar. I'm the first six
months of this administration, we had
TO issue bonds. Mr.. Dolly, who, but
for Pat Lannan, would be high mogul
in the Republican ranks. had his hired
man, Mr.. Robertson, push a gold clause
into those bonds. Every Democrat
voted against it-every Republican for
it. It was defeated and a clause that
they should be paid in legal tender
was substituted In the next few
months, $4,000 more of bonds must
be issued by this city in order to re-
fund a debt. Did you know that, tax
payers? Now, do you want men Who
viii make them payable in gold, or
men who viii advocate legal tender?
You know the difference. Yet they say
the silver issue is not vital. Why, we
have examples of 1T right here at home
every day. We have got to see that the
gold bugs are defeated in this part of
the country
Mr.. Dunbar advocated salt Lake
work for Salt Lake workmen,' Incl

Nersity Regents case. and the amount
of taxes paid by the laboring man.

denning, was a failure. So did McCor-
nick. so did Dolly, sc did all the prom

is a full. square-toed Democratic ad-

it,
Why Paul Quit Republicans.
Adam Paul made a speech sparkling
with wit, 10 tell why he left the Re
publican party.
I didn't leave it," he said. There
wasn't one to leave in this city. /
once heard it was the party that would
bring us free silver. 1 remember they
sent a3crowd over to see about it. They
said: Mrs. Queen Victoria We've come
over to ask YOU to do something we
know very we'll you won't do
They ought to have been spanked
and sent home" cried q. voice.
They ought TO have been spanked
and kept home" responded Mr.. Paul.
This was greeted with a storm Of ap-
plause and laughter.
THE Tribune Will ruin Mr.. Thomp-
son." continued the speaker, IF il
doesn't stop saying he isn't a sport.
Nothing makes Ez SO mad f;s to go up
and tell him he can't play slough. Yet
he's a jolly good fellow. and the only
man with some character left whom
they could get to go against it. True
sport that he is. he'll make the race,
and Will take his defeat just as truly.
If 1 wanted a man TO manage horses,
I'd get Ez. but to preside over a city
government, I'll take Arthur Barnes.
