and other we'll known urchins. The
older members of the party, all except
mana smith. Chris b. Diehl, Jack Sharp
and Joe NystrOm, were too busy receiv-
irr Elks at the Short Line depot to
Participate in the supreme enjoyment.
Then there was Ben Haywood, try
ing TO keep peace, and "Reddy' Stuart
n Sandy. who had a vote in the last
legislature. Joe Lippman was there
getting in touch" Johnny Axtoa
stroUed through the grounds whistiing

About the first thing that happened
was a 100 yard dash. won by l.. Y.

By Henry Gardner. Judge BagIey of
ogden won the distinction of homeliest
gentleman, and Nellie Chandler Of

was a dispute between Butch Lowry
and Bill Glasmann as 10 who would

little 10 say about il, and after four
innings, the crowd having quit the
players quit also. Ogden won by a
score Of eight 10 two.
A band down in the lucern patch
kept playing "There'n BE a Hot Time
IN Old Town Tonight" without any
reference to Lagoon, and the people
took Il as bunch TO get back to the
and didn't want to pay for the music
The band changed, finally, to Mother
Was a Lady" and "She May Have
Seen Better Days. which put the
young men in better mood for the even
ing.
II was along towards 9 O'Clock. when
The programme got started off in the
pavilion. It commenced with a seIec-
ton by the only quartette on the
grounds and therefore the winner of
the contest. 1t was headed by Chap
lain John Axton.
Then President Joe mcknight of the
club announced that Governor Wells
had missed a train or something at
Soda Springs and. was not present. but
that Acting Governor Hammond would
speak.
Why Wells Wasn't There.
The crowd listened patiently to Mr..
Hammond, who Slso explained that the
governor and his train didn't connect
and that the young men would be an
important factor in the next Campaign.
AT this 1uncture a train whistIed in
the distance and part of the audience
made a rush for the exits, while Chair
man Mcknight vainly cried for order.
The speech was cut short. At its
conclusion Fred Graham sang Under
the Shade of the Palm"
congressman George Sutherland was
next introduced. but the crowd had
gone To talking about Graham's beau
uful voice and the chairman shouted
and geSticulated wildly before the con-
gresham WAS able to proceed. Mr.
sutherland said he believed in the
young man in politics He had a the
DRY about Office holding. Only two
classes could aspire to political distinc-
ton, he declared, the first being those
who are rich enough TO win and the
other, those who are poor enough to
hold Office. He believed it possible for
people TO be as honest in politics as in
any other business.
Some of our Democratic friends say
that trouble IS brewing in the Repub-
lean party and profess to believe that
they VIII be the beneficiaries OF it,"
continued Mr. Sutherland "Only re-
Gently they have said that this Is the
case. The Democratic party lies about
US. Let me say that If. there are any
suarrels In the Republican party. they
VII be settled in the family circle and
Wien ths Republican convention settles
upon the principles of the Republican
party in this state and makes its NOM
nations every true Republican will
know what to do"
Sutherland Pleases Lowry.
