occupied a Pullman of their own The
meeting here was held in the opera house
The attendance was not large, but the lack
OF numbers was in measure compensated
for by the interest manifested by those
present.
Senator Fairbanks made no reference to
the differences existing among republicans
In this state, and he did not refer to polyg-
amy. The anti-Mormon wing of the party
however. is quoting sentence from the
senator's speech at Ogden in support of
their position. The passage is as follows:
In the final analysis the American
home is the unit of the republics strength:
that home wherein presides one mother,
where there is gathered about the hearth
stone faithful hearts filled with love for
the American flag and with alteration for
the institutions of our fathers, which have
been committed to our highest and most
loyal keeping"
Dolliver and Female Suffrage.
Senator Dolliver referred in his speech to
the fact that female suffrage prevails in
this state.
For my part" he said, II think the re-
publican party has erything to gain and
nothing to lose by the system. / trust the
appreciate the wisdom of republican poll
cies, for those policies make for the i'm
proVement of the home as no other policies

reply as the train left the station.

the annual conference of their church.
In his address Senator Fairbanks spoke
of the stability of the republican policies,
saying they are the same under Theodore

country on one. wheel" he said. In this
connection Senator Fairbanks referred to
the republican party as the American
party" and then, evidently recalling the

synonymous with the republican party"
