named after the president who was so
! friendly 10 the Mormons In times past.
II was here that Judge King first
saw the light of day. He spoke to-
night in the first and only state house
! in Utah The citizens who first knew
him as a baby and saw him grew into
manhood. little thinking then how hon
orally he would represent them in
years 10 come in Washington. cOngre-
gated In the hall 10 hear him speak in
which the first Utah legislature enacted
laws for the territory, and TO them he
expOunded first principles in politics.
He exhOrted the voters OF Millard coun-
ty to set aside sordid tendencies, 70 as
sert their individuality and TO vote for
first principles by casting their ballots
for the Democratic ticket.
Although Fillmore is a three to one
Republican community. Judge King,
Major Young. Judge Powers and
George A. Seaman. the Democratic
nominee for the state legislature, ad-
dressed an audience which crowded the
old legislative hall almost to suffoca-
ton. II was an enthusiastic assem-
biage. a representative one and larger
than that which last evening greeted
Joseph Howell. 1t was a rally which
made votes for the Democrats. enthused
the party workers, encouraged the rank
and file and appealed to the undecided
voters.
Howen's Foolish Break.
Candidate Howell cost his party
and himself many votes here on ac-
count Of his speech. He attacked
Judge King in his native place and
sought 10 deprecate him in a most. pc
culiar manner before an audience which
was justly proud of their honored son.
He sought 10 turn from the Democratic
nominee the people who saw him grow
! into manhood and who admire him for
/ his strength of character. the mark
/ he has made for himself in the world.
and the credit which he has been TO
Fillmore. by telling them that Judge
King was too intelligent, too smart and
too aggressive To be sent 70 congress
Candidate Howell said such a man win
embarrass the administration, and that
the administration would retaliate in
manner prejudiciai to Utah.
The brighter the man, continued Can
didate Howell. the more trouble he
can make for the administration. and
for that reason Judge King should be
defeated, Thus admitting that he is
not the equal to the Democratic nomi-
nee and intimating that if Howell is
sent TO congress he viii not fight for
the rights of the people of Utah should
they conflict with the policy of the
administration. which is dominated by
the trusts that have already damaged
every industry of the states almost
beyond repair, Candidate Howell asked
the people Of Fillmore to vote for him
and defeat Judge King.
Judge Powers replied 10 the asser-
ton OF Candidate Howell that If Utah
did not send a Republican congress-
man and senator 10 Washington this
year that the administration viii re-
buke the state by seeing that II did
not receive its share of the funds ere
ated to advance irrigation. The judge
characterized such a statement as a
/ bride 10 the voters OF Utah to vote
the Republican ticket, adding that it
was a sad commentary on the secre-
tary OF the interior who would, for po-
ltical reasons, deprive the people of
the state OF their suffrage.
