There was one thing that was not
charged against the Democratic party IN
the long list that was catalogued at the
Republican state convention, and that
was that the success of the Democratic
party nationally would result in panic
1t was so unusual not TO hear that charge
made that it caused one to WONDER
whether, after all, any Republican con-
vention had actually been in session. but
the reason is that the Republicans nave
| too recently had panic of their own
upon their hands. to charge that such
things are the result of a victory by the
Democrats Even under a Republican
administration we have had bonds issued
in time of peace. under Il Republican ad-
ministration the notes of the government
were illegally issued in time of peace. and
right in Salt Lake City soup house was
opened to feed the hungry who could not
obtain employment under Republican
administration, and the effects of the
Republican panic have not yet passed.
Here IN Utah. because of our mines ana
our extraordinarily fertile soil. we nave

millions of men are still out of employ
ment and real distress still exists
Democratic Party Absolved.
Senator Smoot has stated that the
panic came about because the people were
too prosperous, and that they specuiated
too largely. Whatever caused the panic:
proof beyond question has been furnished
that the Democratic party has not mo
nopoly upon the panic business, but
that great distress financially can be pro-
duced even while we are reveling in the
benign rays of strenuous Republican
administration. The fact is that the
speculation complained of by Senator
Smoot was not speculation of the com
mon people: there was a great laXlty IN
the management of banks, and there was
much speculation upon the part of many
bank officials, and when people asked
for their money at the banks their money
was not there, and then there was we'll
founded lack of confidence, and everyone
wanted to draw out his money al the
same time, and as result many bank
doors closed and great distress followed.

Shall the People Rule?

The whole trend of things political
from one end of the land to the other,
gives emphasis to that question so strong
ly put by the Democratic party in this
campaign: Shall the people rule?' In
our political life the jingle of coin STILES
the cry OF humanity. Just so far as posi-
Bile, the power that belongs to the people
is being taken from the people. The great
corporations are Directing to supervision
and to legislation curbing their power by
the states. Let that be done by congress,
they insist when they find that they can
no longer ignore the demand made that
their oppressive course be regulated by
law. Let it be done by congress, they
say, for Washington is a long way off.
The legislation there enacted cannot be
scrutinized by the voters and the men
who are sent there to stand hitched.' as
Kearns said of Howell. are so completely
under the control of the speaker of the
house of representatives that there is lit
tie danger of the enactment of any law
that will curb to any startling degree the
power that is exercised to the peoples
detriment.

The Republican Party.

eve need not go back so very many
years before we find groundwork for the
indictment of the Republican party for
the republic. In 1876 Samuel j. Tilden was
and was fraudulently kept from the Of
party. In 1896 William j. Bryan was the
choice of the people. but the place was
purchased for another by the judicious
use of the enormous campaign fund OF
IS 100000 with which the ballot box was
corrupted And so in 1900 and in 1904, the
great corruption funds so vast that we
cannot appreciate the amounts which
were under the control OF the Repub-
lican leaders, were used to debauch the
nation He who STILES the free voice of
the nation by power or by threats . or
who persuades the voter from his honest
choice by Interior means, or who corrupts
the source of liberty by the purchase OF
tn eballot, is a traitor to the state and
an enemy of the people, and this |
charge upon the Republican party.

And from whence did these vast cor
ruption funds come? Were they contrib

e This year new and franker defense
has been introduced. Duties. saws the
Republican platform, must equal the dir
ference between the cost of production at
home and abroad. together with a rea-
sonable profit to American industries.
That is, we must be taxed enough. not
only to protect American labor, but to
make sure that the trusts will have a sat
isfactory profit. One by one, the spe-
cious and fraudulent reasons have fallen
away until at length. in this years plat
form. we are given a candid glimpse fof
the real reason. Being ever friendly to

The Republican Convention.

And in enumerating the wealth of
Cache L ought also to mention that in
that same Republican convention they
placed before the delegates the name Of
another man for the congressional nomi-
nation whose principal qualification for
the place, one or his supporters urged
was that he was born in Cache county
and had led variegated life as striped
l suppose as zebra and as full of cGiors
as Joseph's coat, and that here in Cache
valley he smashed his hand in q now
ing machine
Great is the Republican organization of
Cache that halter breaks its candidates
and even in the mangled hand, crushed
by mower, can see upon the palm the
lines that betoken the statesman. That
was a great convention that the Rep.ib-
leans had at Salt Lake City. 1t was ore-
sided over by a United States senator.
Now United States senator used to
seem TO me 10 be very big man; but as
the years have followed upon each others
heels. / have learned that United States
senators are much like mountains. they
seem the biggest when a long way off.
The chairman OF the Republican state
convention is said to have sounded the
Keynote, in his speech, of the campaign
In this state L know that am not a
good Judge of music and probably that is
why l doubt that the people will ever
want to follow the tune which this So
called keynote is said to lead For nv
part / would prefer to hear well known
citizen of this state. who took up vocal
music when he was advanced in wears
sing Come Ye Disconsolate,' than to lis
ten TO that keynate speech. And to me
1t sounded like swans song
Live Issues Ignored.
when the Republican chairman was
not hurting anathemas at the American
party, he was discussing the Missouri
compromise. the bred Scott decision or
stretching the truth like rubber band
in enlogy of the Republican party and
its leaders in this state, of which he is
no inconspicuous one. He took great joy
in condemning the Democratic party for
the derelictionS of some of its leaders
fifty years ago. and he reverently bowed
his head when he mentioned the names of
Republicans who were a force in the land
when he was child. but he failed to dis
cuss the questions of today. He failed
to refer to the difference existing in the
nation. brought on by the men who arc
now nationally in control of the Repub-
lican party, and he failed to refer to the
conditions here in Utah, where neighbor
is arrayed against neighbor, in bitter To-
cal strife, which conditions were created
and have been continued by the men who
control and direct the destiny of the Re
publican organization in this state.

DISCRIMINATING
Carrie" Sent Warning to Wes-

Term Awaited Him.

Asbury Park police have been noti-
fed by the local authorities of the cap
ture in this city of Theodore Wester-
welt, who gives his address rs Ocean
Grove, and whom the Newark police
believe is implicated in some theft
there. The theory is based on a letter
found in W~estervelt's pockets yester-
day after he had been arrested for
drunkenness by Patrolnlan Provost, of
the First Precinct. at Market and
Broad streets.
The letter. found in his pocket when
searched at the station house. was
signed by a woman calling herself
Carrie" and had neither envelope nor
date line. She warned Theodore
against going home, as he would surely
be prosecuted and given ten years,
The writer also assured him that SHE
lad returned all the goods she could
find.
On the strength of the letter the
police of the First Precinct turned
Westeryelt over to Captain Carroll, at
headquarters. He was unable to dis
cover from the writing what had been
stolen or where, though the prisoner

What would have resulted in a big
fire ia the thickly-populated section of
South Orange venue between Prince

time, M quickly distinguished by the
members of Engine Company No. 20 at

The building is a two-story brick, and

COURT ASKED TO END
FAMOUS WATER SUIT,
Projected DEGREES Submitted in
Fighters Case Against
jersey City.

Probably the last chapter in a con
troversy lasting four years . between
William J.. RICHTER, of Parsippany, and
the Jersey City Water Supply Com
pany, was begun yesterday before Vice
Chancellor Emery when counsel for
both complainant and defendant filed
copies of the decree sought for by each.
The suit was brought as the result of
the overflow of water from a reservoir
and dyke belonging to the water COM
pany upon the premises of the COM
plainant. A permanent injunction had
already been issued against the water
company to abate the nuisance.
