Upon being introduced, Col. Squires
said that they were Just lighting the
first skirmish in the greater battle be-
fore them or course. they had opposed
TO them an active. alert and vigllant
enemy. The old Democratic party that
they have been fighting for so many
years was still alive. and he saw by a
telegram from New York, published that
morning. that 1T will live forever and
never surrender. 1t may live forever
but IL will surrender. II will surrender
this year. The Democratic party is their
national enemy; they were opposed to
them in politics,
Col. Squires then gave resume of the
history OF the Republican party from
1861 down to date. He laid emphasis on
the constructive Legislation passed by
that party, such as the protective tariff,
the homestead law, the railroad bill, the
pure food bill and the. pension measure
while We foolish Republicans here"
he said. voted for the Democratic the
ory of free silver while we were allow
ing ourselves TO be swallowed up by the
Democratic party William Mckinley
said; I had rather open the mills to
the workmep than the mines to the
miners We laughed at that. We be-
lieved that nothing but the remonetiza-
tion OF silver could restore prosperity to
this country, but We did not know what
q reserve Of craftsmanship existed in the
Republican party. When the gold stand
ard was established then came prosper
ity."
Chairman squires dIlated at length on
the pension order giving every veteran
O pension of ss month when he at
talned the age of Sc. and I'm fiye days

month" Don't fool yourselves" said
your lives right here in Utah. There are
many faces that l am wont to see In
gatherings like this that are absent to-
day. They are not here and they ara
not going to be with us in this com
paign. and We cannot afford to rest until
the vote is polled in November The
enemy is alert. they will have lots of
money behind them. and every man ought
TO do everything. he can TO provide the
sinews OF war to carry on this work"
He concluded by expressing his deep re-
