Mr.. Rogers Talks,
After the campaign song, "Help
Yourself" by Curtis Cohen, Assistant
City Attroney Rogers was introduced
and made brilliant address. He be-
on the machine, and urged everybody
present TO also instruct their friends.
Attorney Rogers excoriated L. J. Had
dock for the speech he made at Re
publican rally several days ago, and
declared that Mr.. Haddock must have
been bitten by some mad dog or some
thing of the kind, for, declared Mr..
hydrophobia when he said such things
as he did at that meeting. In refer
ence to Mr.. Haddock's attack upon
former United States Senator Thomas
Kearns, Attorney Rogers declared that
during the time Mr.. Kearns was in the
United States senate he did more good
for Utah than any other senator ever
did before him. and surely far more
good than any senator has done since.
In this connection. Mr.. Rogers referred
to the Smoot 'FMouth' as the monu-
mental liar of the church Republican
party.
N. D, Corser Heard
n. D. Corser was then introduced
and spoke at some length on the "old
soldier" in this campaign. He began
by reading an excerpt from Orson
Pratt's Doctrines of the Gospel, F" in
which the writer declared that the
kingdom of God is an order established
by divine authority, and is tho only
legal government that can exist in any
part of the universe. Further, all other
governments are illegal and unautbor
'H'ut pcoPic dLbSHNpiilS w govern
themselves are in direct rebellion
against the kingdom OF God. He called
attention 20 the infamy of this state
ment, and then referred TO i'Sol' Kim
ball's 'IRombshel Confession of the |
Kearns Gang Reed Smoot claims TO |
be a gentleman, Mr.. Corser exclaimed,
and yet he IS the author of such mis-
erable, dirty and Infamous stuff as this. !
Mr.. Corser declared that never IN !
the history OF the state have the people |
enjoyed such liberty as they have had |
under the rule of the Liberal and Amer !
lean parties. He declared that the |
spirit Of Americanism, as is constantly |
demonstrated by the American party, |
was to treat the old soldiers Justly.
The speaker declared that 80 per cent |
OF the old soldiers in Utah would vote !
the American ticket at the coming elec. |
ton He declared that the fight which |
is being waged in Utah is very similar |
In its purpose TO the civil war. HLet |
US have government, as Abraham Lin
coin said, by the people, of the people, |,
and for the people, instead of by and |
for the priests he said, in conclusion.
Several musical selections were rem. |
dered and the programme closed with |
