JUDGE KING At MURRAY.
Reused Large Crowd With Telling
Thrusts.

A big audience congregated in the
Murray opera house to hear Judge
King expOuId Democratic doctrine and
generally lay bare the methods en-
plOyed by the Republican party in
this state during the present campaign.
In dealing with the latter topic. the
candidate for congress did not nince
matters, but rolled up his sleeves and
proceeded to handle the goldbugs and
trust syndicate without gloves, winding
up his eighty-minute speech by the
terse admOnitiOn: If you want to sup
port a party of hypocrisy, deceit and
fraud, go and vote for my friend, James
I. Hammond"
Judge King delivered a forcible
speech, which was punctuated with ap-
plause at intervals to an extent that
gave evidence that he carried his hear
ers with him. The major portion of his
address was devoted to the subject Of
bimetalliSm, interspersed with timely
anecdotes and illustrations, which were
received by the audience with demon
STATIONS of approval
After G. Melrose Spicer. the young
Santa F'e stenographer. had broken the
ice generally and touched Up the sub
Jects Of the currency question, imperial
ism and the leading issues of the cam
paign for the spaceA0f twenty minutes,
Judge King was introduced by Chair
man d. w. Moffat. Utah's next con-
gresham jumped right into the good
VIII of those present the moment he
advanced to the footlights.
Judge King said, in part: The Re
publican party at present is going up
and down the state like a roaring lion
seeking whom It may devour. 1t has
no chart ~. eCv,aroc-
figure with these pirates and bucca-
neers. Mr.. Hammond and other Re
publican speakers tell the farmers all
viii come out right in the end if they
vote the ticket; then they go TO the
sheepmen and tell them that wool Will
go still higher if they fall in line. They
smooth the bimetallist over with the
assertion that by and by things will
be Strengthened out for them, and in
the next breath take the banker on one
side and tell him that Republicaniym
means the gold standard for sure.
They are ali things 10 all men. They
go to the Gentiles and tell them that
a vote for Hammond means -ote
against pOlygamy. and then tU int
round and tell the MoTmOne IL
they line up on their side that ill
not be mOlested in future" hia
point Judge King waxed exc lgly
warm and made the ASSERTION 1t he
knew Of a certain Republican GENTLE
who took a Mormon bishop into his
back Office a few days ago and said
to him: Wouldn't you like to see po-
lygamy on the quiet?" On being an
swered in the affirmative. the RepubI-
can told him to go back to his ward
and quietly work among his flock on
Republican lines and al would be vel
vet in the future.
After holding Bill Glasmann up as a
horrible example, the speaker averred
that the opposite party personified in
Hammond. told the Park City miners
that Mckinley was q friend 20 the
Irish because his name began with
Me" The methods of handling the
English. Scandinavian and German
vote were also barred for the delecta-
tation of the audience. who enjoyed the
dissection hugely. Summing up the
entire Republican campaign, Judge
King Iikened the party TO burglar in
gum boots. slyly slipping about and
touching every one. and generally run
ming the campaign ION a sort of india
rubber platform.
