Will we give you to drink.
The problems growing out Of the war
with Spain were grave and without
precedent We had no past experience
by which our feet might be guided.
Many have been solved. Cuba Is a re-
public, to Porto Rico we have given a
territorial form of government and put
sunshine In her homes. Others await
our solution. We will solve them with
brave hearts and in an honorable way;
having set our hands TO great task we
will not cravenly leave II unperformed.
To aid In the solution Of the problems
growing out Of our possession Of the
Philippines, we will elect a Republican
to the United States senate from Utah
in January, to take the place Of the
man whose only claims TO service for
his country Is that for three days he
stood In the senate, as he says, I'm

The greatest message President Nc
Kinley ever gave the nation was his
speech at Buffalo on the 5th of last Sep
TENDER In which he euogized the great
Blain and mared out the lines for our
future development Then we little
dreamed that fate could be 80 merciless.
that anarchy could have no sense OF
pity. In the shadow Of that awful
tragedy Theodore Roosevelt took the
oath of office as president of the United
States With his characteristic frank
ness and that a grief-stricken country
might be relieved of anxiety as to his
future policy, he gave out this reassur-
ing message: I'm this hour of our
terrible bereavement, | wish TO state
that II shall be my aim to continue
absolutely the policy Of President Me-
K.lnley for the peace, prosperity and
harmony of our beloved country How
well he has kept that promise every
Our president, with that dauntless
courage Characteristic Of the man, has
ordered a charge against the trusts,
not for the purpose Of destroying their
business, but, as he says ito mu2zle

ern Security company and the beef
teust have felt his thrusts; II Is war
to the death and the hero OF San Juan
Hill has never lost a battle nor sounded
a retreat. Shall we help him. Yes,
loyal and true, we will rally around our

BY the sacred memory Of our mar
tyred Lincoln and his hosts in blue
who gave their lives for human liberty
we will help him As we hope to be
true to the last message OF the master
full Mckinley, delivered to his country
men on the mystic threshold Of eternity
we will help him. BY the memory Of
San Juan Hill, whore the great Jehovah
