POWERS WORD TO VOTERS
Calls Attention to DespcabIe Methods That Have Been
Employed by Republican Campaign Committee to
Encompass His Defeat.
salt Lake City. Nov. 6. l9Ol.

Salt Lake City, Nov. 6, 1904.
To the Voters OF Utah:
Since ny nomination for the office of
representative in congress from Utah
there has been waged against me an un-
reienting and bitter personal campaign.
resort has been had 10 vicious and vile
falsehoods in an effort to encompass my
defeat Nothing has been too vile. moth
ing has been too mean. for my Gefamers
70 use. NV motives have been bAlied.
NV honor has been impugned. The party
workers of the Republican party have
daubed their hands with the mud Of
falsehoods in their effort 20 drive from
me the votes OF honest men and women.
The most sacred things of life have not
been exempt. have not replied in kind
l have waged a clean campaign. ! have
assailed no mans character.
Today my attention has been called 20
the following article found in the Biku-
ben, Salt Lake paper:
political ADVERTISEMENT
- little about Orlando w Powers. can
didate on the Democratic ticket for con-
gresham from Utah. Powers came to
7 tan from Kalamazoo, Mich. and on the
lHh or April, 1855. he was appointed dis
trict judge in Utah by President Grover
Cleveland utah at that time was not
a state. but a territory.)
But when Cleveland sent Powers name
TO the senate for confirmation there was
great stir about il. From his home
eighty-five pages was sent 10 the senate
containing a description Of his escapades
in said state. and a protest against his
appointment to the iudgpShiD in Utah
The fight between the senate ard
President Cleveland lasted about a year,
and at last Cleveland had TO take Powers
name back and appoint another. CHE
Mormons took no part in the fight against
POWcrs)
after this Powers took up the fight
against the Mormons and became the
leader of the Mormon eating Liberal par
ty, which in 1890 Won the fight in Salt
Lake City-by using everything but fair
means. For this work the Liberal party
paid Powers ten thousand dollars.
Powers Is now a candidate for con-
gresham from Utah on the Democratic
ticket: but when the people of Michigan
did not consider him worthy TO be a
judge I'm Utah. and when the senate did
not sanction his appointment. II is not
likely that he will be able to do any good
for Utah in congress.

there was the same quiet that has

Some opinions were expressed by

their views being that the election
would be a landslide for the candidate

the estimates of the two committees
and the confidence which the managers
OF both parties expressed caused no lit

There also was discussion upon the
newspaper polk, and they were en-
dorsed or discredited according to the
party bias Of the person who gave an
opinion.
Both committees received reports dur
ing the day from lieutenants i'm the
field, and both claimed that the report
bore out their predictions of success
and caused their belief in the election
OF the candidate they supported. Judge
