PROHIBITION TO
SAVE THE STATE
Large Audiance Spell Bound
For Two Solid Hours

When Oliver w. Stewart came
on to the platform at the opera
house on the night of May q,
there stood before one of the larg-
est audiences ever gathered together
in that roomy building, one of the
most eloquent and powerful speak
ers that has ever visited this section
of the country.
In every inch of this physical and
mental giant there stood out that
that type of manhood that knows
no fear, that plays in the role of big
things and goes to make this coun-
trv that will yet brand the name OF
everything that known as American
the world over as good.
At the outset, Mr.. Stewart III
dulged for a few minutes i'll stating
what he is not. He wished 1t to
he understood from the start that
he is not the enemy of the sal loon
man. but that he is from start to
finish and everlastingly opposed to
the law that permits the manutact-
IRE and sale of the poisonous liquid
that is sapping the best OF Our
American manhood, wrecking many
of our best homes and placing the
letters of imbicility on millions OF
the people not to mention the count
less million yet to come.
His graphic description of what
builds, and what destroys conf
munity will long be remembered by
those who were fortunate enough
in hearing him. He fittingly eulo-
qised the farmer as the great corner
stone and foundation of any COM
munitv and for that part the bull
warks of the nation and took the
filler of the soil as a basis from
which to work. In turn, he went
over the long list of trades and
professions and showed equally
we'll that these in turn ought to be

welcomed into the growing and de-
veloping country provided they
gave service for the recompense
they demand. Passing these over
he took up the case of the thief
and the pick pocket. Here in lam
guage that was most fitting If
amusing, the speaker had little diff
ficulty in showing his audience
that this man had no place in So
ciety unless it be the great free
lodging place of Uncle Sam that
is maintained under the strong
arm of the law and for which the
people of the country subscribed to
in the form of taxation.
Next came the case of the saloon
man and all those rich and poor
alike who are associated with him
in the work of national destruction.
Never in the history of any tribu-
nal in this land did a man make
out a clearer case against his oppo-
nent than did Mr.. Stewart who
acted as the prosecuting attorney
in the name of righteousness against
legalized-and he admitted with
great regret that it was legalized-
immoral and running business.
He proved to finish that left
no other verdict than that of guilty
in the highest degree, that the
liquor traffic is the greatest agency
of starvation, plumber and finally
death that exists in this country
today.
In conclusion, he earnestly hop
ed that the people of this great
state, state that is attracting great
er attention to the millions of the
east than any other, would wake
up before it was too late and strike
telling blow to the laws and to
the makers of these laws and to
those who steadfastly hold on to
such laws, that have permitted this
great curse to dominate in this land
all these years. There was only
one policy to adopt he claimed, and
amid the ringing of cheers and APP
plause, he advised and pleaded
with the vast audience to come out

AN EXPLODED STORY

The New Yorks Worlds story to the effect that Thomas
F RYAN contributed through William F Sheehan, OF New
York SIS 900 to the Nebraska campaign of 1904 with the
understanding that the money would purchase the cordial
nort of William Jennings Bryan for Judge Parker, has
been thoroughly exploded, says the Salt Lake Herald
Mr. Sheehan was chairman of the executive committee
of the Democratic national committee in 1904 lie has
written Mr. BRYAN letter which he says that whatever
money was sent to the of Nebraska taken from
the general fund which money was made up OF voluntary
contributions from many persons.
Mr. Sheehan has never been regarded as one OF MI
Brvans close friends His statement OF the case may be
a1e as disclosure of the absolute facts. He continues
