The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-09-03

| Of the Republican party during that
time is one of which the people are
Justly proud. Nine years ago when
/ the Republican convention assembled
in this city to select its candidates for
State Offices, there was then a keen
and spirited rivalry for the nomina-
lions. especially for Governor A new
Richmond came into the field, and
though then a comparatively young
man, untricd, with but limited eXper-
fence, the convention seemingly by in
tuition selected him in preference TO
the candidates who had been more
prominently before the people. The
candidate then named has fully iuSti-
fled the wisdom Of the convention, and
five years later he was again chosen as
the standard bearer of his party and
trumphantly elected. Side by side
with him as his complement and adj
wiser has served the able, efficient and
faithful Secretary of State. Governor
Hebcr NJ Wells and Secretary of
State James r. Hammond will always
retain the fullest confidence and es-
teen of their fcllow-citizcns of this
commonwealth.
The Republican State Convention
has again chosen its candidates, all
men of strict prObity, fitness and
patriotism. A continuance of solid
safe and progressive administration
of State affairs is thereby confidently
assured by their election.

great honor that has been conferred
upon me-the honor of being nomin-

what way | can serve them individ-

the Federal Government, or sugges-
lions as TO measures of public benefit.
My brief experience in the House of
Representatives has been the means
intensifying my belief in the SoundneSS
of Republican principles, and the
wisdom Of Republican statesmen.
Nowhere is the truth of the conceded
fact that the Democratic party is an
incubus on the skirts of progress made
more manifest than in the discussions
in the Congress of the United States.
Every measure that is brought forth
for the benefit of the nation has been
passed against the most perSiS-
tent opposition of that party.
The Democratic party is fruitful of
promise but Chary of performance.
Its face is turned to the past and its
back to the future. 1t matches up
paramount issues for the hour only to
repudiate them later in favor of some
new chimera. 1t is led away by every
will OF the wiSp and shaken by the
winds OF every new doctrine. The
Republican party is party of action

Mr. Cutler, nominee for governor,
made a talk also and was followed by
Congressman Howell, Judge Trick,
and telegram from Senator kearns.
There were musical numbers and a
splendid spirit prevailed the entire
meeting. THE REPUBLICAN Is pleas
ed to present the speech OF
CONGRESSMAN HOWELL
who, after eulogy OF the Young Mems
Republican Club got down to business,
and of the Republican State ticket
and national principles said:
The Republican Convention after a
free, fair, and spirited contest upon
the part of the friends of the various
candidates, who submitted their cause
TO its arbltrament has chosen our
candidates, all men of strict honor,
probity, and patriotism, whom all
loyal and true Republicans arc in
honor bound to support. Whatever
differences of opinion may have exist
ed when the delegates convened, as to
the relative merits and qualifications
of the various candidates, in the light
of existing conditions, all Republicans
are now united and of one mind-that
the nominees of the convention are
the nominees of the Republican party
that it is our ticket and we will car
ny il on to triumphant victory.
have an abiding faith in the prin-
ciples and policy of the Republican
party, and unfaltering confidence in
the wisdom, craftsmanship, and pa
triotism of its leaders The signs of
the times both in state and nation
foreSliadOw COnCluSiyely the continued
ascendency of the Republican party.
In other words, if may he pardoned
for using the phraSc-the future looks
good TO me. Our delegates in the
National Convention were not called
upon to select candidates at Chicago.
The people had already signitied
their choice, which was confirmed.
The platform adopted by our state
convention is in harmony with the
national platform, and states GU |
views with clearness and precision,
and is deserving of the undivided sup.
port of the people. With the Repub.
lican party platform is made to
stand upon, and not as with our
friends of the OppoSition-SO something
merely to get In on. With the Re-
publican party promise made is a
promise kept. Since the admission OF

His suggss- tions are good but he yill find that left 1t to the address to explain the pur- pose of the conference, which 1t did in plain and unmistakabIe. and strong and convincing language.
 "Gurley. Ala. February 6, 1904.
 ''Mr. D. W. McIver:
 Dear Sir-I am greatly pleased with your first letter on Forty Years in Ala bama Politics. shall look forward with impatience for each succeeding letter. Judging from this letter. what it's general scope will be. think 1t one of the wisest and most opportune publications thes could have been suggested. The mass of the present generation of voters have no personal knowledge of the sufferings o9 our people and the indignities they had to bear. nor of the exciting scenes, heroic conduct and dangerous efforts we had to make to free ourselves. This hiStory should be deeply impressed on each ,c- ceeding generation.
 quaintance to suggest that should yon publish this in book form. you preface the Exchange Hotel Conference and what follows by stating that n radical Congress had authorized the holding of a conven- tion to frame a new Constitution and pro- vided that 1t should be submitted to the people for ratification. Also provided foS loose registration by which every negro | could register and many white men could not; and provided that if majority of the registered voters voted for 1t, 1t should become the constitution; and that we choose the plan of keeping a majority | away from the polls.
 with this explanation the young Ren- eration will better appreciate and unders stand what followed. Those of us who participated in them do not need this ex- planation. In the last clause of your let ter you say the Constitution was clearly defeated by the plan adopted by Con- gress. I think 1t would be clearer to say
 under the plan.' You might also add,

public monies drawn from the people in the form of taxes and paid no regard to the constitution adopted by themselves and ratified by Congress against the votes and wishes of the people.
 .'These odious measures were approved by W. H. Smith the present Governor and they seek to perpetuate their i'll got ten power and continue this state or things by re-electlng him to the same ot- flee.
 "The so-called constitution provides that the Senators elected when convened at the next ensuing session of the General Assembly shall be divided by lot into two classes as nearly equal as may be; these seats of the Eenators of the frst cIass shall be vacated at the expiration of two years and those of the second class at the expiration of four years from thA day of election so that one halt or the Senators may be chosen biennially'
 Now the present Radical Senate have raFusAd to comply with the provisions or the Constitution not from ignorance or the provtsions but from an open and laWless disregard of a sworn duty; whether this gross omission of duty proceeded from mare love of office, a desire to hold off1ce for four, instead Of two years or otLler urvorthv motive is left for their explana- tion. what is left us to do is to enquire into the effect and consequences of this important state of things; very grave ouestion arises under this refusal to exc cute A plain provision of the Constitution The question is can there be legal and constitutional General Assembly so long as the provision remains unexecuted; can the whole Senate hold over for four years? we think not and we fear if they attempt to do so and the whole body should participate in the enactment of laws the effect will be to involve the peo- pie of the State in litigation for years to come
 This wilful omission of duty if no other cause existed. ought to satisfy the people that the party in power Is incapa- ble and unfit to carry on and conduct the government of the State. For the first time in the history of the State we have tho spectacle before us of judges of high and important courts entering actively into party politics. making inceMdiary political speeches; presiding at party meetings; organizing committees to secure party ends; acting themselves as dele gates to party conventions; some of them by their personal habits being unfit to discharge the duty of any offlce. These things are not calculated to keep the mind of a judge calm and cool and secure i'm partial decisions, nor to increase the respect of the people for the administra. ton.

SICK HALF THE TIME.
The History of Kidney Diseases, Liver Disorders, and Menstrual Trouble" is One of Much Weakness,
 Suffering and Dependency.
Many Despairing Victims Have Been Won Back to Health and Strength by the Timely Use of the
 Right Remedy.

In diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs men and women once strong, hearty and vigorous are soon reduced to comparative helplessness, at times able to get about and do odd jobs, at others prostrated completely. This was the experience of thousands of per sons who owe their present good health to the superior remedial effect of Prickly Ash Bitters. Why endure all this dis tress when a remedy that has proved its power and effectiveness in such ailments can be so easily obtained. Don't de- spair, no matter how much fruitless doctoring you have been doing. Prickly Ash Bitters has cured where every other remedy tried has failed, which is attrib- utable entirely to its four-fold cleansing and strengthening effect. It is kidney tonic, liver and stomach stimulant and bowel purifier combined, therefore it exercises its cleansing and restorative influence uniformly in every part of the body. For the weakening and distress ing irregularities peculiar to womer Prickly Ash Bitters has obtained the very highest endorsement.

 The Campaign.
 With this most suspicious beginning the marshalling of the forces of Democ- racy and united front to the enemy, the campaign was opened with boldness and with a confidence of winning in the elec- tion. From the beginning the Radicals were on the defensive. Their corrupt rec ord in State and County affairs had shak- en the confidence of honest people of all parties and the eloquence of all who could l speak rang out from every stump an hilltop in the State. The people were re solved to place the government once agatT iV, he ofk ,,aNI hh fa~ and were more vitally interested in tho future welfare and good name of thu | State.

 One will probably be surprised to know that Draughon's Practical Business Col lege Co. has expended during the past few years over TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS establishing its Employment Department. It is a fact. however, that Draughon's Colleges do not charge their students for securing positions.
 So great is the demand on Draughon' 8 Colleges for bookkeepers and stenogra- phers that students who go to the college we'll recommended may deposit money for tuition in BANK, under an agree ment that 1t IS NOT to be paid to the College until course is completed and position is secured. or said students may enter under an agreement to pay $l0 ofl entering and balance out of salary iR in- stallments of $10 per month after course is compelled and position is secured.
