Plan a Great Success.
The band wagon plan was evolved
by Chairman Martineau. At first, be-
cause of its very novelty, the scheme
met with opposition. But Mr.. Mar
tineau insisted on its wisdom, and the
result abundantly indicated his judg-
ment. Mr. Martmeau's speeches formed
no small part of the work. He was
earnest, logical and effective and in
every instance impaired to his hear
crs some of his own overlooking op-
timism. some of his own staunch be-
lief that the Democratic ticket cannot
be defeated.
The band wagon left the Democratic
city headquarters in the Atlas block
promptly at 1 O'Clock. AS an earnest
of the success that was TO be met with
in the carrying out of a project en-
tirely new Ia Salt Lake City. several
hundred voters assembled iii front of
the Atlas block to give good wishes
TO the pioneers. The band played sew
eral lively airs, concluding with THE
Star-Spangled Banner played as only
Held can play it.
