cry II Is to meet in convention and
declare that "the smoke arises from
every factory chimney while the ashes
are dead upon the hearthstones of the
eastern poor. The great Industrial dis
turbances In the coal fields, and the
conditions there existing, cry out for
action. All the rhetoric OF the eloquent
Indiana senator cannot smother the
demand. The children OF the great
cities have q right to live. They have a
right 20 light. air, food and warmth.
And yet that creature of Republican
legislation, the coal trust, Is creating
conditions that viii destroy many OF
their lives. Let us sustain n policy
that will cause the smoke 10 rise from
the chimney Of the poor mans kitchen
as we'll as from the chimney of the
trust owned factory. 1t is well to keep
the wheels OF the machines OF the fac
tories In motion, but, more precious
than the most Ingenious machine that
was ever invented are the lives OF those
concerning whom Christ said; Suffer
little children to come unto me, for OF
such is the k!Lgdom Of heaven"
WHY UTAH HAS PRoSPERED.
What has Utah gained in business
way under Republican rule2 Its prin-
cipal industry Is mining. When the
miners do well the whole state does
well. This great industry has been
placed at the mercy OF the smelter
trust. Our miners, between railroad
rates and SIN liter charges, are being
ground beneath the upper aud neither
r.illstone. The streets OF the great
mining camps OF Tintic have the past
summer been fl,led with idle men. Cop
per silver ana lead have fallen In price
Great mines have been closed down and
the values of our mines greatly depreci-
atsd. and all this has occurred while the
great trusts have waYed fat. Except
for the marvellous resources OF this
marvellous state we would today be suf-
fering from hard times. That we have
prospered IL not due TO Republican rule.
We have forged ahead In spite Of that
rule. | mention these things as much
WAS claimed at the Republican conven-
ton at Ogden for what had been done
FOR Utah.
IAN INDIANA ANNEX"
What a convention the Republican
convention wasl II was an indiana an
mex. for its principal work was done
by carpet baggers from Indiana. It's
platform was written by an editor from
Indiana. Its candidate for supreme
Judge was nominated by a lawyer from
Indiana, the Cuban plank was knocked
out on motion OF a railroad att lrney
from indiana. and its doctrine was ex-
pounded by The gentleman from In
dana" When one reads the proceed
ings he is no longer mystined as to
why Indiana Is always IN the column
Of doubtful states. The work Of the
convention, so far as the nominations
were concerned, had all been arranged
by the Republican machine and the
only question OF interest was whether
the convention would endorse the policy
Of our junior senator in advocating
a reduction Of the tariff on sugar. For
months II has been well known that
the Republican senator advocated. and
the Republican representative In Con-
gress opposed. a reduction ~ the sugar
tariff In the interest OF Cuba. But the
convention has adjourned. and, so far
as lis proceedings are concerned. no one
knows where the Republican party Of
Utah stands upon that important prop
osition. BY a cowardly evasion the
question was lodged Do the Repub-
lcan leaders think that they can fool
the people OF Utah? Do they imagine
that the beet sugar farmers viii not
discover that their sugar tariff is TO be
inundated upon the alter Of our junior
senator's desire 20 be subsery1ent 10 the
presidents policy, no matter whether Il
Is detrimental to the interests Of Utah
or not? DO they suppose that the vot-
ers will fail 20 ascertain that before The
machine gave It's support TO Howells
that he was solemnly pledged 10 the
policy Of Senator Kearns2 Already the
Republicans OF the east assert that the
result OF the convention Is defeat Of
the beet sugar interests. The Washing
