Judge o. W. Powers was then intro
duced. He spoke in bsgh terms OF
Senator Rawlins.
The senate that once rang with the
voice of Webster that senate that was
not always a milli5naire's club still
has room for such men as Joseph L.
Rawlins." he said.
Here I'm this state" continued Judge
Powers, there is being bUilded as cor
rupt a political machine as was ever
buiIded in the United States. Some
have ii that already there has been
named the senator TO succeed j. Il.
RaWlins. He is a man holding a high
ecclesiastical position. The people of
this state cannot afford to send any
such man there. There is no reason
why a Mormon cannot 60, but there
is every reason why one whose life is
devoted to the teaching of Christ and
him crucifed cannot mingle with the
politics of this government
Frank Cannon's Compliment.
Mr.. Moyle then read kilograms from
lie Grand Young. s. r. Thurman, a. j.
Weber and Frank J. Cannon, regret
ting their inability to attend. Mr..
Weber's dispatch concluded with the
suggestion that Rawlins should be sent
back to the senate. and the sentiment
was loudly applauded. The same eX-
! preston came from Frank j. Cannon,
/ who wrote:
Senator RaWlins is entitled to the
| respect and admiration Of every citi-
+ zen of Utah who has regard for sturdy
manhood in political life. His work I'm
/ the senate Of the United States has
/ been of advaStage to the country and
I of the highest credit to Utah.

/ assembled Democracy today my earn-
/ est hope that the party may, II vic
I tOriOus at the next legislative election,
/ give to itself the honor, and to the
state the benefit Of a reelection Of
/ Joseph L. Rawlins to the senate Of the
United States"
A selection was rendered by a male
/ quartette. Senator Rawlins was intro
I duced and received an ovation as ne
took the platform. He said:
/ Friends and Democrats feel highly
I complimented by your presence and
I thank you for the honor which ii inn
plies. Ny gratitude is due to those whose
[ friendship has brought about this inter-
esting occasion. The kind words here
uttered VIII cherish as d precious mem
DRY.
However. 8 am not so vain as to pre-
sumo that all this is purely a personal
compliment. it Is rather a manifestation
Of continued devotion 10 a cause which
we i'm common cherish and desire to see
predominant for the sake of the country
and the welfare Of the people.
In this social reunion and romantic en-
