STIR GREAT AUDIENCE

as a charming and accomplished gen.
I tieman, who can more enthusiastically
I deiude the public than any man he
] knows. Mr.. Harris spoke of Mr..
Heath's theory that Mark Hanna
/ would be greatly mortified if Salt Lake
went Democratic. and called on all
hands to aid in the modification
Speaking of the Republican sneers at
Mr.. Leary because he once rode the
range, Mr.. Harris said it was one Of
Roosevelts proUdest boasts that he
had been cOwpuncher. If it was a
crime in Laary it couldn't be anything
else with the president.
Near the close of his remarks Mr..
Harris was interrupted by a wailing
I baby in the audience. I'm used to
babies he said, smilingly, they don't
annoy me at all. Only L prefer to han
die them in pairs" In conclusion Mr..
Harris paid high tribute to the Dem
ocra,l &c judicial nominees and to others
on the ticket.
Moyle On Republican Record.
When Mr. Harris had finished SEN
ator Rawlins introduced James H.
Moyle, speaking of him as the man
who ought to have been governor. Mr..
Moyle took the text which Judge Pow
ers had handled: by their fruits shall
deplorable condition of the county
treasury when the Republicans were
in power.
He went over the story of how the
county's warrants deprecated and
kept on depreciating until the en-
plOyees who held them had to hawk
them about the streets to get part of
their money. A Democratic admins
tration was installed and quickly the
warrants rose to par and the county
was placed on a firm cash basis.
Coming down to city affairs, Mr..
Moyle handled the water and water
bond question in vigorous style. What
have the Republicans done with that
bond money!" asked the speaker.
Where is the promised increase in our
water supply Shade trees, lawns and
gardens have persisted for lack of water
In spite of the money that has been
spent, and now the Republican speak
ers are throwing dust into our eyes"
At this point Mr.. MOyle took up the
the street sprinkling and pointed out
the utterly incompetent manner in
which it had been handled last sum-
mer. Then the speaker took up the
mayoralty candidates. He told how
Mr.. Leary, without capital, without
striking a rich mine or the backing of
a friend who had struck one, went into
the stock yards and built it Up from
nothing until it is today a great indus
try. Mr.. Leary had said he would
close the saloons on Sunday, and he
would keep his word.
TT took Mayor Thompson nearly two
years to find out that the people didn't
want the Sunday saloon" Mr.. MOyle
continued. This, too, in spite Of the
meetings Of the Ministerial assOci-
alton and other religious organizations
where the Sunday saloon was de-
nOunced. How absurd the plea of the
mayor is. I tell you a vote for Ezra
Thompson is a vote for saloons on
Sunday.
you will be as recreant to your duty
as Thompson has been to his if you
place the seal Of your approval on his
actions of the last two years. I don't
believe you'll do it. I believe that to-
morrow the people will go to the polls
and elect, not only Mr.. BeaTy, but the
entire Democratic ticket"
Judge w. H. King had been sched-
uled to speak after Mr.. Moyle, but Oh
account Of the lateness of the hour he
begged 10 be excused and, to the
strains Of the Star Spangled Banner"
the great audience dispersed.
