Republican Victory Expected.

Except for the belief in business cir
eles that there will be a sweeping Re
publican victory in November there I'M
doubtedly would be some apprehension
in business circles" and this in turn
would swiftly lead up to Unsatisfactory
industrial conditions"
AS soon as the returns from the cleo
ton in November can definitely show to
the business interests Of the country that
the party of incompetence and calamity
has again been defeated, and that there
fore there will be four years more OF Re
publican prosperity, there will undoubt-
eddy be Q great impetus to the present
prosperity.
Following the election OF 1904 the
gains in every direction will probably be
as pronounced and extraordinary as fol-
lowed the Republican victories of 1896
and 1900.
Democratic success always tends to
create alarm and depression through
business circles, while Republican vic
tories, on the other hand, always in
spire greater confidence and make times
Immediately better, even with prosperity
already being enjoyed, like in 1900, when
the reelection of President Mckinley
greatly increased the existing prosperity

said President Roosevelt in his speech
of acceptance.
In no official utterance of the Demo

President or Vice President during the
last eight years, have the adjectives
honest" or stable" ever been used to
designate the kind of currency Democ-

the Democratic phrase makers will use
adjectives freely and recklessly when
ever they have any paramount" or
"tantamount" idea to advance, like in

that he deemed the Democratic party

As the gold standard of value was
then ''irrevocably established" not by

GASSAWAY'S FAv0RITE POEM

Henry Gassaway Davis favorite poem
is Excelsior" Current note.)
The shades of night were falling fast,
When up through West Virginia passed
A youth who held within his hand
A banner with this strange command:
Fork over"
"What seek ye?" cried the ones he met;
81 seek the bar'l; I'll find it yet
I'll get that check we want, you bet
He sang. as Davisward he set:
Fork over"
''Try not that task" the maiden cried;
But only fruitlessly she sighed,
For he replied: I'VE need the stuff,
And chortled then in accents gruff:
Fork over"
80, stay, vain youth" an old man called.
At such self-confidence appalled,. -
"Dost think his name is Giveawa{'
The youth sang, through the dying day,
Fork over"
On, on he went, by hill and dale,
Until the night at dawn grew pale,
And then at last, with heart elate,
He murmured to the candidate:
Fork over"
He saw the barrel round and fair
Alasl he saw no bunghole there!
The candidate without his specs
To read the banner did not vex-
Fork over"
Il cannot hear a word" he sighed.
you heard when you were notifedw
The earnest youth at once replied
And then more vigorously cried
Fork over"
They found him, frozen stiff and cold,
His banner still within his hold
And now they send no strange device,
| They simply say: eve want the price
Fork over"

remembers how it denounced Good

orally referred to Inn as a scallawag,

vanced to detract from his fitness for

have furnished complete campaign

cial and political as well as religious,
and, further, it establishes the So
cial standing of people whom it can
reach. This gives it the hold which
enables it to command the support of
its people at all times and on all sub
jects.
Those resolutions we're aimed at
polygamy, and served notice upon
the church and its people that, so far
as those were concerned whom the
majority of the convention represent
ed, WAR is TO BE MADE UPON
THE PRACTICE OF POLYGAMY,
and that every possible pressure will
be brought to have it abandoned.
This suggests what will be accom-
plished by the program that has been
proposed. This state will do what it
can to check polygamy and give it's
support to national constitutional
amendment giving congress authority
to stamp the evil out.

THAT, the church in Salt Lake will

The fact cannot be hidden that it
Is the Mormon church that ENCOUR-
AGES POLYGAMY, but the church
has sought to make it appear it has
abandoned such encouragement.
At Weiser they even went so far as
to pledge more than 100 votes for an
instruction in favor of Hearst if the
Hearst men would aid them in defeat
ing the resolution. That shows how
ready they are to trade on anything
to carry their points.
The church and its members might
as we'll admit the PLAIN, UNvARN-
ISHED TRUTH If the Mormon
church were not today encouraging
polyamy; if members of the church,
including many of the leaders, were
not practicing polygamy in defiance
of the solemn promises of the church;
if, in short, the church we're acting
in good faith in this matter, there
would be no Mormons fighting such
resolution.
But the church is NOT KEEPING
ITS PLEDGE and does not propose
to keep it unless it be forced to yield
and set itself in harmony with Ameri-
can institutions. Therefore it fights
such a step as this.

to publicly pose as one prosecuted
because of his loyalty to his wives
