the eXigencies Of the political condi-
ton Of the state and nation And il
was an enthusiastic gathering. The re-
marks or the three speakers wero
heartily applauded by Democrats and

Republicans For King.
That Judge King did not speak in
vain was shown by the number Of Re
publicans who shook his hand after the
rally, and or their own. accord assured
him that they would vote for him ON
election day. Before the meeting the
orator received similar assurances
from among the several scores OF men.
who went to the hotel 10 pay their re-
spects 10 him. He was warmly con-
graduated upon the hard campaign he
is making and the wonderful amount
OF good he Is doing for the party wher-
ever he goes.
Senator J. G. NJ. Barnes presided over
the meeting. After a selection bv the
Kaysville quartette, Bishop David
Stoker Of BOuntiful spoke. he said
that he was a Democrat from princl-
pie; that he did not believe In sending
Republicans TO congress. as Howell
suggested, 10 curry favor with the ad-
ministraton. IL seemed 10 him that
IL saVored or too much bribery and the
surrendering Of sovereign rights.
Judge Stringham OF BOuntiful. nom
inee for county commissioner. ad-
dressed the rally along the same lines.
exhorted his audience 10 support the
Democratic ticket because IL Is re
party OF the people, FOR the people.
After another selection by the quar-
Jette. Judge King was introduced. He
was given VOciferOus applause when he
stepped forward During the Droe
ress Of his two hours and a half ad-
dress he said that Candidate Howell
continues 70 be evasiye on the subject
OF trusts, and how he would vote upon
the question should he be elected. The
judge called attention 10 the fact that
one night the Republican nominee Will
Ignore the subject entirely and the
next night viii partially defend the
trusts. At Grantsville Howell said IL
II were not Cor the railroad combina-
tons there would be no big railroads.
Smiths Funny Antics.
George A. Smith, the receiver OF the
land office, was here last night with
Candidate NOVEL;. To a certain ex-
tent he flied the void left by Lewis 7.
Cannon when he was shipped home
from the south for making too many
foolish statements. The federal Office
holder vas the amusement feature 0f
the Republican rally. When he was
not attempting 10 justify the stand OF
the Republican party on certain ques-
tons, he amused the audience by re-
counting funny jokes.
As the day OF election draws near
the chances Of the Democrats are i'm
proving. There Is every honest reason
FOR believing Davis county viii remain
Democratic. IT is conceded that Jesse
Smith, the Republican nominee for
the legislature. viii run behind his
ticket. The sheep and cattlemen are
among those who viii not support him.
That the Democrats worked hard on
the registration days is proven By a
poll OF the names on the local register.
They are three TO one Democratic.
