B. H. ROBERTS AT HOME
Returns From the East and
Talks OF Political Conditions.
THAT FAKE INTERVIEW
BELIEVES BRYAN WILL CARRY
NEW YORK

B. H Roberts mas returned from his
trip to the east, and was a caller at
Democratic state headquarters .yester-
day. Speaking of the supposed inter-
view with him shat appeared in Chicago
papers and that was distorted by the
Republican organ of this city, Mr. Rob-
erts said:
The interview as published is false.
In speaking with the Chicago reporter
the only concession made as to Utah
was that Mr.. Bryans majority would
not be as large as it was in 1896, as it
was abnormal at that time. 1 said
that some Republicans who supported
Mr.. Bryan were going back to their
party, and their excuse was that there
was no chance for silver, and they were
in favor of expansion. 1 said nothing
that could in any honest way be con-
strued TO mean that 1 considered Utah
doubtful l have always felt that the
state is absolutely certain to go Dem
Ocrdtic by large ma jority this year.
Mr.. Roberts was asked as to how he
found political conditions in the east.
1 paid no. attention to politics at
all" he said except in the state Of
New York, and there investigated as
closely as 1 could. The impression L
formed of New York state is that it is
as certain 10 go for Mr.. Bryan as the
sun is TO rise on election day. II Mr.
Bryan's election depends on the state
of New York, he will be the next presi-
dent of the United States. Croker has
made the statement that Greater New
York will give our standard-b bearer
100000 majority, and it will do it. In ad-
ditiOn to that, the upstate Democrats
are making the best fight they have
made since Tilden was elected in 1876.
New York will go for Bryan this year,
and you may make that statement as
strong as you please
Mr.. Roberts will take the stump for
the Democratic ticket in Utah next
week, and win be in the fight from
that time until the close He did not
know yesterday where he would speak;
he was in the hands of the state COM
mittee, he said. and would go wherever
he was sent. His itinerary has not yet
been arranged.

Was Only a Bluff.

Orson Hewlett, one of the Republican
candidates for the legislature, was
staggering around headquarters Tues
day evening Offering to bet $50 that the
Fifth precinct would give a larger Re
publican majority this year than the
Third precinct would give Democratic.
When some of the tigers from the Third
heard of this they chased Hewlett into
the Republican headquarters and de-
manded a showdown. Hewlett took
the precautiOn to consult Eichnor on
the proposition before putting up his
money. Dennis must have told him to
soak his head or something to that eff
feet, because he has not been seen on
the streets since.

Judge Powers to Be the Orator at the
Wigwam Next Saturday.

The Democratic rally to be held in
the wigwam in this city on Saturday
evening next promises to eclipse the
great demonstration made in honor of
Frank J. Cannon and Charles Crane on
Monday evening if that is possible. The
workingmen of the city have taken
hold of the matter and intend to
demonstrate in this meeting just where
they stand in this fight.
Judge Powers is working hard on the
speech that he is to deliver on that
occasion. It viii be different from
anything else heard in the campaign.
The issues will be handled from the
standpoint of the bread-winner,
whether he earns his living with his
hands or his brain. The judge is work
ing harder on this speech than he has
ever worked upon speech before, and
those who are SO fortunate as to hear
it will have something to think about
for many day.
