Principles.
WOMEN'S CLUB AT LAGOON
SEVERAL SPEAKERS ADDRESS
SPIRITED GATHERING.

SPIRITED GATHERING.
The Democratic party stands for the
eternal principles upon which It is found
ed, and it will fight for them. It fears
70 foe and asks no quarter; neither will
it give any.
That is the essence of a stirring ad-
dress by Judge William H. King last
evening at Lagoon, when he addressed
the Woman's Democratic club. The Judge
delivered a stirring speech every senti-
ment Of which evoked applause from the
ladies and The others gathered in the
dancing pavilion. Judge King believes
that under certain conditions a non-parti-
san ticket might be advisable, but under
the prevailing circumstances he cannot
see that such a course VIII have any 9TH
er effect than further to augment the
bitterness and strife which already exist
between the Republican party and the
American" party
Judge King believes that President
Roosevelt will accept a denomination. il
it be rendered him. and declares that the
policy of the president il to cenJralize the
power OF government in his own hands,
divest the states of their rights and. in
effect, to establish a monarchy.
For Straight Ticket.
In addition to the remarks made by
Judge King. brief addresses were made
by L. r. Martineau, chairman of the state
committee, and Joseph Hyde of Sanpete.
Mr.. Martineau declared that while there
might be few Democrats in Salt Lake
City, they are standing by their guns.
He believed they ought to put up a
straight and unassailable ticket Mr..
Martineau said the principles erunciated
by w. ]. Bryan are being carried out by
Theodore Roosevelt, and he was glad to
see il.
Mr.. Hyde told an apt story. illustrating
the treachery of the Republican party,
and declared that the Democrats ought
to stand together and fight it out.
NJ. F. Cunningham, acting as master
of ceremonies, introduced the speakers.
and incidentally paid high tribute to
the ladies' organization as a factor IN
politics.
Enthusiasm in Plenty.
The crowd was enthusiastically Dem
Ocratic. a fact well illustrated by the
expressions OF approval with which the
remarks of the speakers were received
A large number came from Ogden to par
ticipate in the outing.
One of the pleasant features of the day
was the solo by David Goddard Of Ogden,
a lad possessed OF WondeTfully sweet
soprano voice. He is il years old. He
was accompanied On the piano by Samuel
Williams, also of Ogden, who also is only
II years old. Three solos by W. D. Phil
Haywood was Mr.. Phillips sccompanist.
It was expected that John bern wOUl1
deliver an address, but a previous en-
eagement prevented his presence
Compliments the Women.
Judge King began his remarks by COM
plimenting the ladies' Democratic organi-
cation for its interest in political affairs
and for its valuable contributions to the
work OF the Democratic party. He briefly
reviewed the evolution in governments
which had resulted in the emancipation
of woman and in browning her with equal
social, industrial and civil rights. The
speaker then took up the question of 10
cal politics particularly with reference to
the coming municipal election in Salt
Lake City He stated that the dominant
wing of the Republican party, by reason
of past successes. was arrogant and die
tatOrial. Even if the business interests
OF Salt Lake City were in favor of a non
partisan municipal ticket, the machine
controlling the Republican party would
prevent such course. Doubtless it was
influenced by the success of the men
dacious and unrighteOus campaign Waged
by it in the last election, by which it
sought to create religious prejUdices from
which 1t hoped to drive from the Demo-
cratic ranks many whose devotion 10
Democracy might be shaken by appeals to
such prejudices.
A Mission to Perform.
1.-The Democratic party now, as in the
FORM" said Judge King. 1.-THE interneCine
strife in Utah is the result of the unfair
and unpatriotic policies of the Repub-
lcan party. The American party is the
outgroYth of Republican domination and
the Un-AmeriCa1 policies which II has
pursued. The Democratic party Of Utah
desires peace and a cessation of the bit
terness and strife which have proven IN
furious 10 ths state and retarded its i'd
The speaker stated that. personally, if
conditions were proper, he would not be
averse to a business mems or nOn-pa--
tisan ticket in the coming municipal cleo
ton. salt Lake City is on the eve OF
material development" he said. The
next few years Will require the very best
ability in order that the city may be
properly governed and The highest inter
ests Of the people subserved.
Are Stumbling blocks.
But both the American and the Re
publican parties, filled as they are with
bitterness, and arrogant because each be
lieVes that it can win, would not permit
Il genuine and earnest effort for a truly
nOn-paTtisan ticket. The only thing for
the Democratic party in the coming cam
paign is to fight. The success Of the
Democratic party would mean the cesSa-
ton Of strife in Salt Lake City, the. an
Inhalation of the American party and the
rebuking of the tyTannOus machine which
is now controlling the Republicans OF
Utah. II would be the highest evidence
OF the sanity u lilS pCople u salt A-tlhEs
and would demonstrate that they are tired
of the abnormal conditions prevailing
here.
Wherein Lies Peril.
IF the American party should win at
the next election. the fight in Utah would
be more bitter than ever and the indus
trial development of the state seriously
menaced. If the wing of the Republican
party controlled by the federal element
should triumph. the bitterness between
the Republicans and the American party
