SPOKE TO THE MINERS
Judge King and Mr.. Moyle at
Mammoth.
BOTH MADE BIG HITS
AUDIENCE MOVED TO GREAT EN-

(special Id Nc Hera1d.l


Mammoth, Oct. 19.-The Democrats of
this community held magnificent rail-
" here this evening with James H.
MOyle, the next governor, Congressman
King and II. Nj. Hayes, the candidate
for state auditor, as the speakers. Has
sell Han iIr which the meeting was held
was crowded with as enthusiastic a
crowd of Democrats as ever assembled
in Utah and the able and eloquent
speeches of the candidates were cheer
ed to the echo.
Mr.. Moyle was the first speaker of
the evening and with his Sledge-ham-
mer logic he laid bare the hypocrisy OF
the Republican leaders of Utah and
made a mastery speech, setting forth
the position of the Democrats on every
vital issue of the campaign. He hurled
back into the teeth OF the Republican
speakers the assertion that the Demo-
Gratis were arraying class against class.
! We are opposed" he said, TO the few
enjoying ali the riches OF the nation,
but want a fair appOrtiOnment"
He compared the financial barons of
today it'll the 1eudal barons of the
Olden times, and took many hard falls
out OF Mark Hanna and his associates.
He spoke on the trusts, the silver ques-
ton and the Porto Rican iniquity. He
stated that the wages of the miners
were not so high as they were before

Judge King was late in getting to the
meeting because of the iateness of his
train, but he is great favorite here
and the people would gladly have stay

speech on this occasion simply carried
the large audience by storm, and if the
Republicans wish to make any impress

down better speakers than the Big

such speakers as AIOyle and King.

STRIKERS FEAR a PLOT.
Suspect Attempt to Break up the
Miners.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 19-The strike
leaders here are growing suspicious
that there IS some kind of an agree
nnent between the coal operators by
which they expect to break up the
miners. The offer Of the Reading COM
pany and the opposition to the same
upon the part of the other companies
is something the labor leaders cannot
understand. At a conference in Phila-
oelphla on Wednesday the Lehigh Val
ley agreed to the same terms as the
Reading, so lar as their Lehigh collieries
were concerned, but the company re-
fuses, so the strikers allege, to make
the same concessions to their employees
in the Wyoming region.
The officers of the United Mine Work
ers here say there is no consistency in
that.
The action of the I.ackawanna.
Ontario & Western, Pennsylvania com
pany and other large producers in
combining with the Lehigh Valley on
the powder question tends to confirm
me views entertained by the officers
OF the Miners union that a concerted
effort is TO be made by the companies
to get better function and incite a
break in the ranks of the strikers.
The operators who participated in
the conference at Scranton on Thurs
day say they are acting in good faith.

Trusts Must Stay Out of Politics.
Entering upon the discussion of the
trust question. Mr. Bryan said.
p believe the time has come when
the corporation should be compelled to
keep its hands out Of politics and at
tend to its own business for which il
was organized. / am not willing that
the independence Of the citizen should
be destroyed, and if it is right for this
company TO coerce its employees, il
must be on the theory that a man who

local Republican paper. telling of a
farm which had been sold for $3.50 an
acre, while it had Deen assessed for SIS
