every point Of view, and augurs we'll
for the success of the work in which

out line Of action to be followed in

Mr.. Darmer's g Address.
J. f. Darmer, county chairman,
made a brief address. He said, in part:
"The ladies of the Auxiliary American
Party club are here to take mp the
work where it was left off last fall, The
American party has come to stay, at
least until every man and every woman,
not only III Salt Lake, but In the State
OF Utah, shall be free TO act and live
in Utah subjecbt only to the dictation
OF their own consciences,
''Since the American party has come
into power in Salt Lake IL has made
it possible for everyone to make
living, and today there are more happy
homes in the city than at any time
in it's previous history. 1t is not 80
long since people were leaving the city,
and in many instances sacrificing their
property to get away. What do we see
today7 Why, people are coming in
from all directions. There are no
empty houses, business or residence.
These conditions are, perhaps, not all
a fact that they have come about
under American party rule. Prior TO
the American party's coming into
power investments in property by out
side capital was slow. There was some
thing wrong. Our induction into power
has removed that wrong, that state
of affairs that made capital shy and
wary of investment, and as result
business conditions are assuming that
and the investment of capital. The
healthy change wrought in the city by
the American party ought to augur
well for success in the coming county
election. This county will poll $4,000
votes or more, and in order to be sure
of complete victory we should be as
siduous in seeing that every voter
is registered. Our opponents will not
give up without q struggle, and hard
one. Our efforts in the past have been
ably assisted by the ladies of this club,
and Judging by the efforts being put
forth in behalf of right, of justice, Of
morality and pure homes are being re-
doubled in this campaign. The open
ing seems bright; let us all work to-
gethcr To rend the clouds of church in
duence in State affairs under which
most of us have lived too long, and vic
tory is assured. -

compass, and was most enthusiastically

Allan T. Sanford, candidate for State
Senator, delivered brief but stirring
address He said it was the duty of
women to organize and work as men
in a campaign where there was so much
at stake as there is in the one we are
fold-industrial and moral, Salt Lake
is making progress under American
party rule. 1t made progress under
Liberal rule, The Liberal party built
schoolhouses, paved streets, dug sewers
and put the city on the road TO progress
But greater than industrial considera-
tions is the moral question involved.
