high among the valued servants of the

stated and regular Intervals IN the dii-
ferent sections OF the state. The cases
have been so peculiar, and they have
occurred at times so CppOrtune lOf the
enemy, that one Is impelled to Inquire.
Did any one set these men apart Ter
this particular work? Have they been
guided into the Republican camp in
furtherance OF any compact made az
any time by any one 70 swing utah
into the Republican column and 70 keep
It there? Is 1t not little strange mat
detection exists in Utah and in no other
section? There are some things con-
nected with these sudden conversions
that gives one food for thought ~
there not danger that the thing may
be overdone and the people not be IN
fiuenced by these supposed bell-Nethers
who. by hard work, have succe adea IN
pressing the collar of the Silver King
over their ears?
TRAMP POLITICIANS"
What is there today that attracts
these tramp politicians 20 the RepGO-
lican party? Have they become en-
amored by the ways and means that
controlled the last legislature Of Gtahy
DO they think that hereafter they WIN
any Of them be very important FACTORS
IN our political life? Have they not
rejected that In this high altitude and
pure air, folks do not take Nnily 10
the Gpostate whether religious or pa-
liticalT One eminent gentleman whose
political principles seem 10 nave Dall
bearings creased with graphite, or some

but they can no longer do US harm ny

were and never could be, Democrats
from principle. The fat smoke rsihg
from the camp fires of the en-
envy tlckled their nostrlls' IN
pubic Offices, through Democra-
tic votes, nearly every one OF them
grazed on the political range until the
grass grew short and then started FOR
the other side for fresh offices and re-
newed opportunity to live from the
emoluments Of official life. SO we wish
these pot hunters good luck and say TO
them that their detection has not
caused the cstaclysm in our ranks that
they anticipated. one Of these political
alrships the morning after he mad

II out, found to his surprise that no
hole remained. We commend his ex-

"A FEW OF US LEFT"
There are still few Of US left. There
Is still a compact body of men and wo-
men who are true TO our cause. There
are still men who are willing to stand
uprlptt and to declare. Il am n Demo-
cfatn There is still Democratic or
Ranization sustained by thousands Of
earnest men and women and that or
ganization, true to It's traditions, Is
still unterrifed. The Democratic party
has survived through evil and good re-
| pute For more than a century il has
| existed. II has rejoiced in victory and
| thrlved In defeat. II has seen parties
| rise. flourish and die. II has survived
| unwise leadership and gross political
| blunders and 1t has lived because its
! foundation. its soul, It's very life. are
| the principles OF liberty and the corner
stone OF freedom. II has survived all
assaults In the past and II wil..Cutlive
| all assaults in the future. for II Is the
organized expression of the rights OF
the marses There is a necessity for
| its existence and there never was more
necessity for IT, and more need for
! earnest effort upon the part OF Its MEM
| bers than there Is today when the
| avenues for the Advancement OF the In
dividual a.e being closed and humanity
| Is being made subservient to the al
mighty collar.
DEGCCRACY'S WARNING,
Democracy in the past warned the
| people that the class legislation of the
Republican party would end in monop-
| oily. Democratcy has insisted that
| special privileges conferred upon a few
would result in depriving the masses OF
| their rights and opportunities. These
warnings of Democracy were unheed-
| ed and we have at last reached the
point where even the Republican pres
ident declares that the nation IL help
less in the fact Of the vast combina-
lions of capital which Republican leg
islation has nurtured and that the Con-
stitution must be amended In order TO
give the people relief. We have reach
ed the point where the people OF Europe
are able 70 purchase IN products OF our
factories for one-haif that our own peo-
pie are required TO pay and hence we
are being taxed that Europe may have
cheap goods. The steel trust charges
sS5 per ton In this country for steel
rails that are sold in Europe for s25 per
ton. The farmers OF Canda, Mexico and
South America. buy agricultural ma
chinery made I'm the United States for
half what the American farmer Is re-
quired 10 pay. And so IL II throughout

and 10 organize is as clear TO me as
the right of labor 10 combine and TO
organize. In our business advancement.
