ductiOn to Office.
Although Frank s Mounett OF OHIO
was billed as the star attraction at Il
rally OF the Democracy IN tho salt Lake
Theater, Tuesday night Judge Orlando
w. Powers was the speaker who capt-
waited the audience. This is no dispar-
agement TO Mir. Monuett, who spoke
forcefuly and logically on the national
issues; but Judge Powers plunged into
the local issues, and In the language OF
the street. he told the Sniootites where
TO head in"
Judge Powers declared that TING Re
publicans were dishonest In their effort
20 remove the electors from the Taft
Liberal ticket. He contended that since
Shoots Induction into Office there had
been trouble In Utah, and that since that
time 1.-THE most dcmineeTing and tyren-
nical ring In any state IN the Unlofi had
been built up" He said that whenever
he spoke in opposition 10 Shoots ambi-
the dominant church, but he claimed
equality with any man on the political
platform and deprecated any high eccle-
siast holding high political Office.
There was a large audience In attend

Land.
Inconsistency Shown.
Judge Q. W. Powers, who received quite
an ovation. said he had been Instructed
by his file leader to say q few words on
the campaign peculiar TO Utah, He said
/ the Republican party was 50 careful ot
It's good name that 1T saw mt to see thar
II should have removed from the head OF
another ticket the men whom ii had
named as electors. and that party was
also destrous that the Democratic party
/ should not permit the men whom they
! had named 10 vote for president upon
another ticket. This demand said he.
(which we do not propose 10 follow, TO
! withdraw men from the American party
! ticket is a dishonest demand. The de-
! mand Is made not that their national
ticket may be elected. but that they NAV
secure the benefit of election TO few
/ paisry offices. We believe that the cleo
/ tton OF William J. Bryan Is of the highest
Importance and we shall not put one
! stumbling block In the way OF any citizen
| casting his vote for him. Do YOU think
| they are honest when they withdraw
! those names in the interest OF peace In
| Utah?
| suppose the Americans were TO with
draw their men from the legislative tick

! publican party men for legislature. Do
J you suppose that the Republican man

Would End the Ring.
The election OF Mr., Bryan, said Judge
| Powers, would put an end 10 the fed
eral ring that is controlling the politics OF
this state. and we VIII be s1au 10 wei

lists and Republicans TO come and vote for
Bryan he added.
EVERY American" Judge Powers said.

has been snubbed by the Republicans and
goes to the polls and casts his vote tor

OF snubbing. they should vote for TAFT.

With the election" continued the Judge,
Senator Snoot win sit on the front
porch of the White House during the
noon hour and you VIII be around at tho
kitchen door begging few crumbs, but
with the election of Mir. Bryan all VIII be
treated alike y
Another reason why they should vote
for Bryan, the speaker said, was that
! Utah ought TO be In harmony with the
! administration. They could not aitoro to
go To the polls and cast their votes for
tine Republican legislature, because, ac-
cording TO the Republican speakers, Utah
ought TO send somebody down there III

YOU vote for the Republican legislature,
YOU vote for the return OF Senator Smoot
and Senator Smoot Will be mighty Lone

ing administration.
What Hartman Says,
Judge Powers said that on the way &c
the meeting he met man VINO ought to
know who said that Mr.. Hartman, IN
order to ascertain public sentiment had
caused letters to be sent TO his managers
in the United states, and be has informed
his close friends that IL is evident lnat

if there is anything In standing In WITH
the powers that be- anything in support

state. without any advice or counsel on
that question. propose to do IL.
Jesse W. Knight, Judge Powers said the
candidate was born In Utah. 'An9 ne
