cratic clubs will transfer its headquar
ters from Washington to New York,
but branch ones viii be maintained in
Washington and Chicago. so that the
machinery of the organization will be in
close and constant touch with the Ma
tiOnal committee and with the congress
sional campaign committee.
Every Democratic club, society or
association in the United States is ex-
pected to unite in the political battle
this year. And the Democratic organ
ization in every city, town or village
will be asked to assemble on the night
of the Fourth of July TO celebrate the
Declaration of independence and to re-
ceive news from the Democratic ma
tional convention.
Big outburst of Patriotism.
This ought to be made a memorable
display of old-fashioned American pa
triotism.
In some cities and towns there will
be bancuets. in others there will be
mass meetings. The clubs of each To-
cality will determine for themselves
the fOrn. of their celebration.
THE National association desires to
recall to the whole country the fact
that this year the people of the United
states must defenQ the declaration OF
independence or abandon it. No man
who has drop of Democratic. blood in
his veins can fail to assist in this great
national protest against the establish
ment of subject colonies under the
American flag.
Republics Existence at Stake.
1.-THE great question to be decided at
the polls this year is whether this
country is to continue to be a republic
controlled by the people, or an empire
controlled by the trusts. All minor
questions disappear in the presence Of
this giant issue.
THE National Association Of Demo-
cratic clubs enters on the work of as
sisting the national committee and the
regular party organizations in the var
ious states with determined heart
and full of confidence. The next presi-
dent must be a Democrat and reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that the principal work of the Demo-
cratic clubs next snring will be the in
auguration of Mr.. Bryan at Washing
tor.

Officials Inspect Route.
The following special was received
from The Herald's correspondent at
Coalville last night:
"Coalville May 22.-GeneraI Manager
Dickinson and Division superintendent
Harris of the Union Pacific railroad,
in company with a party of surveyors
and engineers, passed through here
yesterday by team, going up Chalk
Greek canyon, en- route to Evanston,
and it was given out by them that it
is the purpose of the company to change
the route of the main line between Echo
and Evanston, so as to pass UP Chalk
creek. The grade UP Echo canyon and
up Wasatch hill is considered too heavy
for the trains desired to be hauled by
the new heavy engines placed on the
line. which cannot carry the loads
without the use of helpers. The object
of this trip was to ascertain whether
the grade could be sufficiently reduced
by running up Chalk creek to Justify the
change. To those who know the route
there is no doubt of the fact"
THE distance from Echo station to
Evanston by way of Chalk creek and
Coalville is greater by perhaps ten
miles than over the present route of
the Union Pacific via Echo canyon.
However, this latter fact would. per-
haps not be considered a serious mat
ter by the company if the grade is
sufficiently decreased thereby to enable
the large engines to work to their full
capacity.
1T has also been limited that the
Union Pacific is somewhat fearful lest
the Burlington company may possibly
secure this canyon right of way, which
they well know is a much better one
than Echo, or, in fact, better than any
other route leading from Wyoming into
Utah anywhere along the whole range
of mountains, and it is partly TO head
off such an event that this change VIII
be made.

quietly at work between here and the
Wyoming line. While they have been
very retieent as to whom they repre-
sent. the name of Burlington has been
discovered in their camps by interested
observers, all of which has considerable
significance.

When the representatives of the can
dy trust were in Salt Lake some time
ago TO induce the local candy men to
get into the trust or get off the earth,
they were met with an opposition to
which they were not accustomed. Their
plan in other cities has been to call ali
the dealers together, pull out a watch
and give them so long to come to
terms. The alternative is that in case
OF refusal. a gang of men would be
put to work throughout the city selling
candy 80 per cent lower than any To-
cal dealer could hope to put candy on
tzsa market.
IT is not known that this ultimatum
was laid down here as the candy men
viii have but little TO say about their
business troubles. Tt is known that a
number of the strongest candy makers
refused absolutely to accept the terms
offered by the trust Since then the

LOCAL DEALERS PREPARE
TO FIGHT CANDY TRUST


war has been on. and the trust is play
ing the old, old game Of freeze out; in
other words, it is threatening to put
candy on the local market at such
prices that no local concern could meet
them and live. After the local compe-
tition is crushed out, of course the
prices win be put up again and the
trust would reap the fruits of its en-
terpTise.
To offset this game of the candy
trust, the Independent local dealers are
planning TO combine among themselves
for mutual protection. This combina-
ton is still in its incipiency. and but
little can be SAID as to what direction
1t viii take, but the heaviest candy
makers Of this city and Ogden are
interested ia the move. and if their
plans carry the trust may look for a
fight that viii give it the full worth
of its money.

feet nearer to the swiftly approaching
train than the point where the Japan
csc was standing. The train swept
down on the animal before it had time
to get eff the track, striking it with
terrific force. The dog was hurled
through the air as though it had been
shot from a cannon and struck the
