The Democrati party On Tuesday
evening of this week there was a
stormy meeting of the Republican state
committee. The followers of Senator
Smoot were therey and Senator Kearns
was there in person. / find in the Salt
Lake Herald for wednesday, and. ''if
il happens it is in The Herald, that
Chairman Spry Of the Republican state
committee was interviewed after the
unpleasdntness. and that. referring TO
Senator Kearns and his followers, he
used these significant words:
I suppose they viii go ahead now
with the Liberal fight. ] expect they
will keep on that line until they go too
far, with TIE result that where they
get one OF the old Liberals away from
us here in town, we viii get two Nor
mon Democrats away from them in the
country. It is natural for people Of
any religion-I don't care whether
they are Mormons. Catholics, Method
lists, Or what, 10 get together Nwhen
they are attacked. We endeavOred TO
secure a peaceful solution OF the diff

atoriai matter-that's none Of our bus
mess. We merely want TO secure the
election Of the state ticket. But we
can't count on support from that di-
rection, so we will have TO make other
arrangements
Has Faith in Democrats.
Upon what meat hath this Repub-
lean Caesar fed that ne hath grown
so create Who has given him the
power TO enter the Democratic party
and pluck away two votes whenever a
Gentle refuses to follow his lead?
What madness is it that has 90 over
come him that he declares that Nor
mon Democrats viii come here or go
there at his bidding. He may know
what kind of stuff Republicans are
made Of, but he has yet to become ac-
quainted with the Mormon Democrats
This is a pretty good year for all Dem
ocrats. whether they be Mormons or
whether they be Gentiles, 10 remember
that old and honored maxim in Utah
and mind their own business If it
be true that he can summon two Nor
mon Democrats for each Gentle that
the Republicans lose, then the charges
made against Utah will be sustained,
and ! would not give . cents on TIE
dollar for the chance Of Senator Smoot
TO retain his seat in the United States
senate. This ill-advised statement of
the Republican chairman is calculated
TO and will do much harm to the state.
but / am confident that his boast win
be but sounding brass and tinkline
cymbals' so far as the Democrats OF
Utah are concerned. Here and now I
declare. and ] know I speak the senti-
ments of the Democrats of Utah. de-
clare that the Mormon Democrats of
this state Will be true to our faith and
that they will vote as a unN for the
ticket named by this convention.
why should we take part in this
Republican fight? Why should we fill
the depleted ranks of our adversary
Does the, Republican chairman think
that we are a lot of Hessians? Does
he believe that we are animated by
no principles? Has he an idea that we
are simply tail TO his kite? He will
learn differently. He will discover that
we propose TO redeem Utah from Re-
publican rule, and that in redeeming
Utah and elevating her above this strife
that is now on. we will aid in advanc-
ing her toward that glory with which
she win yet be crowned.
Touches Up Howell.
Our distinguished representative in
congress, who Is a candidate for re-
election, has manifestly seen a great
light in view OF the situation confront
ing US. and Willingly or unwittingly.
he advises all the people all the time
to vote the Democratic ticket. He
made a speech recently in the Salt
Lake theatre. He wrote that speech
out. and it was afterwards printed in
the Logan Republican. I hold that pa
per in my hand, and I call attention TO
Mr.. HOwelrs excellent and timely adj
vice. Speaking upon the topic as 20
how the people should vote, he uses
this language:
4" There are only two times in your
life when YOU should vote the Demo-
/cratic ticket; first, when things are
going well with you, and, second, when
they are going badly
And who can construe that language
other than that the distinguished gen
tleman says that you should vote the
Democratic ticket all the time. The
truth does not always come from the
lips of babes and sucklings.' occasion
ally it is spoken by members of con-
gTess. and in this instance our eandi-
date for congress has expressed a great
truth. When you are doing well. vote
the Democratic ticket, he says. When
you are doing well, vote tie Democratic
ticket. If you are feeling good, vote
the Democratic ticket and the JOYS OF
life viii increase, the days will be
brighter and the world will seem bet
ter. If You are blue. and feel that YOU
are down by the cold streams of Baby
lon, vote the Democratic ticket and at
Jnce float in the clear blue air of hope
and happiness Aanifestly Mr.. How
ellis love for the people of Utah is far
greater than his love of party, and his
unselfish advice ought to be followed
by every man and every woman in
Utah this year"
Appeals to State Patriotism.
Judge Powers then entered upon a
discussion of national questions. and
closed as follows:

and rent by factions; while it is in the
midst of the throes Of a political earth
