day and spoke in the Grand Opera
house here tonight to an audience
which taxed the capacity of that hall
10 the utmost.
When the Fairbanks train made its
first stop Of the day al Elko, New, al
most 300 miles west Of this city, the
Vice Presidential candidate was met
by Senator SmOOt and seventeen other
leading members Of the regular Repub-
lican organization, who accompanied
the travellers 10 Ogden. The Utah dele
cation included, in addition to Senator
Smoot, Congressman Howells, former
Governor Thomas, two members of the
State Supreme Court and other repre-
sentative citizens, one half being Nor

with Senator Fairbanks and when he
arrived here he found awaiting him
Senator Kearns. He was soon closeted
with the Indiana Senator. No state
ment was made concerning the various
interviews, but Senator Fairbanks early
decided TO make no reference to the
State complication in his public utter
ances.
No speeches were made between EIko
and ogden and the most interesting
event Of the day aside from the private
discussions Of the Utah situation was
the travel across Great Salt Lake via
the Lucien cutoff on the Southern Pa
cific road. Senator Fairbanks and his
travelling companions found much in
that engineering feat to admire. When
this point was reached the party left
the Southern Pacific, over which ii had
Travelled for 100 miles, intending to
proceed eastward tomorrow over the
Union Pacific.

of his address tonight TO the extension

point:
perity at home and in the maintenance Of
peace and good order in all sections Of the
in Increasing our commercial strength and in
building homes throughout the republic The
erection Of homes is one OF the evidences OF
Republican prosperity. There have been more
homes erected during the last seven and half
years Of Republican administration than in
any like period during the history Of the re
public In the final analysis the home is the
unit Of the strength Of the republic
OUR COMMERCIAL INFLUENCE.
The United States. through the events Of
the last few years, mas come 10 take a leading
part in international affairs. We have avoided
all international alliances which might involve
either the safety the honor of the nation
The United states never occupied a higher
place in the esteem OF the world than It does
to-day. Our diplomacy is predicated upon the
principles OF international justice. We are de-
sirous Of increasing our commercial influence
abroad, OF enlarging our foreign market in the
interest OF American capital and labor. II is
IN the utmost degree necessary that should
be recognized a nation which scrupulously
observes the rights OF other nations; which
seeks to expand its influence. not by the
power Of might. but by the irresistible force
Of right. The victories OF right those
alone which endure. continuation Of the
present administration means continuation
Of relations Of amity with all powers, great
and small alike.
II means expansion Of our trade with
foreign countries. II means increase Of our
prestige among the sisterhood of nations.
The delicate relations between other powers
in the Orient and the Importance Of preserving
there the open door 10 our commerce make II
of the utmost importance that we should con-
tinue unbrOken our present foreign policy. This
Is not 6 matter Of sentiment, but IL is essen
tally a material question. II is predicated
upon the highest considerations Of commercial
and national interest.
The meeting was presided over by
Attorney J. d. Murphy and much en-
