Especial to The HeraId)


Brigham City, Nov. 5.-Never before
in the history of Brigham city were the
Inhabitants treated to a more forcible,
eloquent and clean-cut address than
that delivered here this evening by 3.
H. Roberts in the interest of Democ-
racy. The opera house was filed to the
very utmost, and hundreds of people
came who could not gain admittance.
The applause was strong and fire.
Quent. the speaker at times being under
the necessity Of lifting his hand in sign
of restraint in order to finish some
parts of his argument. He appealed so
forcibly and eloQuently to the finer SEM
sibilities Of the people that if there
were doubtful voters at the beginning
of the meeting, there certainly were
none LETT the hall at the close.
The speaker began his address by
outlining his own feelings in regard to
+ his politics. Said he.
II take my politics seriously, because
7 wish to enjoy the government hand
ed down by the fathers of this country
and to Der9etuate the same through
/ generations TO come. My politics are
: deep-seated in me; have not come TO
crack jokes or to make you laugh. but
/ to present to you the issues, as I see
them. which concern the people of the
United States, and which are 10 be de-
+ cided by you tomorrow"
( He then quoted from the trainers of
/ the constitution when they said;
Let us form government in which
+ there will be no extremely rich nor yet
any abjectly poor"
True Americanism.
Such said the speaker. has been
She aim and intention Of the govern
ment of the United States until very

( icanism and it is our solemn duty to-
+ morrow to see that such a system is
! again established in this nation
The system of legislation which gives
I privileges to the favored few, to the
I detriment of the masses, was then ex-
planned clearly. The gentleman de-
CIared that these vast accommodations OF
wealth that defy the government must
be met and dealt with as their nefarI-
Gus practices deserve. For said he
they viii never cease their operations
voluntarily and if we think so we there
mistake the nature of human greed
There is d short cut he said, 'tC
a righting of these greviOuS wrongs
and that short cut is by elecung W. j
Bryan on the morrow.
The spea ker criticised the attitude 81
the Republican party as to its polio!
regarding the disposal of the Philip
pines, by reading from the constitution
the clause wherein the trainers thereO
declare that I'VE hold the truths to b
! self-evident that all men are borI
equal" and again, "A government de
rives its just power from the free con
sent of the governed.
when a party deviates from thes

zens to remove that party from power
He sCorned the idea of our having
