las is ordinarily the case we are

stously occupied by Republicans, and

AN IMPORTANT BURDEN.
Resuming the thread Of his discourse,
Chairman Ray called attention TO the
fact that an important burden was Inn
posed on the convention, as In It's pow
or lay tho only possibility OF the solu-
lion Of present political issues IN Utah.
Those who have watched the trend OF
political events" he said. the convinc-
I'd that next fall the people VIII turn
the affairs Of this state into the hands
of the Democratic party. from the
hands NJ Republican bosses and graft
ors, and this Is but preparing the way
for a general victory FOR William j.
Bryan IN 1905
Turning to local conditions Mr.. Ray
declared that they were peculiar 10
Utah, and that here we were fighting
out questions othei states had not had
10 fight out These conditions he held
10 We the outgrowth OF misguided trust
ara the laxity Of political parties "Af-
~ slah al
have been years OF growth" he assert
ed, 1--WE find there has been no growth,
and we are hurled back into the very
beginnings OF our political existence as
n state. To learn over again all those
questions which we thought were set
tied once for all in our infancy as a
state"
Hunting for tho remedy, he held that
IT was only to be found In the Demo-
cratic party, as the Republican party
was back IN the Egyptian darkness OF
bafbarism, In which only the bright
star OF Democracy was shining strong
enough 20 be seen in the sky The
quarres, turmolis and local disturb
ances now infesting the state he said,
are the rest OF the action 0f a few
bosses who have absolute contempt for
the rights OF their fellow citizens, and
who have roasted on slow fires all those
who have dared 10 question their au-
thorlty.
FOUR CLASSES,
In the Republican party he alleged
there were four classes Republicans
by habit. Republicans by coercion, Re.
publlcnns by contract and reluctant
Republicans who were not easily led
by zone Reed Smoot, who obtained
his office by methods rs pernlcious as
any used by the tyrants of old In
our state this condition has been long
prevalent do not charge that the
dominant church has wilfully thrown
Itself INTO the breach, 10 debauch the
citizenship of the state, bat | do charge
mat Reed Smoot has prostituted or at.
tempted TO prostitute into this situation,
the Church Of which he Ia a member,
II this question Is not settled we will
have worse political conditions aud
worse religious conditions 10 meet in
the nedr future.
COUNTY BUILDING CROWD.
Mr. Ray took good sized rap at
the County building crowd" stirring
up applause by a declaration that the
Republican convention could have
saved much trouble for itself by sim
ply nominating the county building,
floor by floor, by acclamatlon Col.
kaighn, and his remarks picturing
Democracy as the cause OF free soup
houses, were handled NJ large. and then
the speech WAS terminated with an APP
pei to put up ticket thnt would go
before the voters and win with no other
prop than us own merit, and Demo-
cratic principles.
