bic and Organization VIII Do It..

The Democratic state executive COM
mittee, In session at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, adopted and issued an
address for general circulation through
out the state. II IL signed by Frank j.
Cannon chairman and T.. j, DAILY, sec
rotary, and Is by order of the executive
committee, II reads as follows;
THE united Democracy Of our coun-
try calls to Utah to organize efficiently
and to work deyotedly for the triumph
OF the people
'As all factionalism has ended with
in the national party, 80 1t should end
within the organization In this state.
As individual ambitions have been su-
fled for the sake Of principle within the
national organization, so individual
ambitions in this state should be sacri-
feed for the general veal.
"A platform has been adopted by the
party In national convention which rep
resents the Issues Of today Upon 1t
Democrats throughout the whole nation
may stand with strong hope Of victory
and with the certainty that, II the peo-
Pile shall entrust the power TO our par
ty, the principles asserted in the plat
form viii be effectively applied TO gov
eminent Candidates for the presiden-
cy and the vice presidency have been
selected who's splendid characters and
high abilities rank them with the great
Americans OF all time. In Alton Il,
Parker we see the virtues and the
strength requisite for chief executive
who shall rescue the republic from its
present evil tendencies, performing
thereby as great and as necessary a
work as that which was given by JEFF
ferson in the foundation OF our insti-
tutlons and by Lincoln in their preser-
walton. In Henry G. Davis we recog-
nize q man who receives the vice pres
idential nomination because he meas
ures fully TO the presidential stature
Both these men were born in lowly life
and have advanced TO their present
high positions in the esteem Of their
fellow citizens because Of their inher-
ent worth, their industry, their deyo-
ton 10 the best ideals Of home and
country
"In common with our fellow believers
OF Democratic faith and, as we believe.
IN common with some millions OF Re-
publicans Of the United States. we ex.
press the hope that victory will attend
upon the Democratic cause. The coun-
try needs relief. 1t Is burdened with
the egOtsm OF the present chief execu-
tive and endangered by his whims, He
was selected by his Republican friends
for the vice presidency because Of his
untitness. IN their judgment, to remain
In active public life. and he has sue
| ceeded to his present candidacy for the
presidency because OF the deaths OF
other men and not because any con-
siderable element OF his party has con-
fidence IN bis ability and wisdom.
an Utah the duty Of Democrats is
plain. We must organize TO recover this
| a
cratic column. Since 1900, when II
passed back to the Republican party,
| II has suffered I'm the eyes Of the world
as Utah never before suffered even In
her territorial days. The mission Of the
| state Democracy should be to recover
the old prestige Of Utah; to establish
her repute abroad. and TO establish her
peace at home
with malice toward none but with
a determination to make the glorious
! principles OF equal rights applicable I'm
the lives of the people and In the des-
| tiny OF the state, let the Democrats OF
| Utah come forward 90 their duty with
courage and zeal.
Organization Is the present watch
word In every county and in every
precinct let the party officials at once
begin their labor, There IS ample time
10 effect a complete organization be-
tween this time and the real opening of
the campaign, Delay I'm the work OF
organization now means multiplied and
less effective labor In later months.
Complete organization now means that
the work Of the campaign can be tri-
| umphantly conducted by the forces
which viii be at command
IN behalf of the state Democracy,
the executive committee calls upon De-
| mocrats everywhere IN Utah to organ
i2e for the fray Victory is possible II
should be made certain by our work
