Appeals to Them to Stand

ADVISES THEM TO BEWARE

Utah.

A. King Of the Democratic state com
mittee gave out this address to the
people of Utah. Said Mr.. King;
"I am extremely well pleased over
the political conditions prevailing
throughout the state. This week s &C.
tive campaigning has worked wonders
The magic OF Bryan's name and the
sturdy young manhood Of Jesse William
knight, q native son of Utah. have
kindled the fires Of Democracy. And
tonight, from Idaho on the north to
| Arizona on the south, the praises OIL
each are being sung.
From every quarter come words or
encouragement and good cheer. a series
OF the most remarkable political meet
| ings within tho history OF Utah have
been held during the past two weeks;
| The enthusiasm has been dnbounded and
| the rapidIty with which recruits nave
! come TO US is remarkable in the ex-
| treme.
"Tho Republicans have noted the
signs OF the times and today the coun-
tenanres of the federal bunch and the
would-be leaders Of the socalled Re-
! publican party bear plainly the evi.
that will be inflicted upon them by an
outraged public on November 3 next.
Republicans Are Alarmed.
f'It is apparent to the most casual
! observer that alarm has taken the place
of the bluff and bluster usually present
with every Republican leader. The
hurrying and scurryiDg that are taking
| place today in Salt Lake City and coun-
| tv disclose the Fussy Jimmies and the
/ Kiuky Curlies leading the erstwhile
! clustering and rampant party to an
| inglorious defeat.
% For three weeks past. through tho
| lntermountain Republican and whisper.
| ing maligners, the Democratic part and
| its leaders have been charged with at
\ tempting 10 barter the votes OF the
] members of the Democratic party in a
| deal with the Americans. Notwith
standing many honorable and upright
men have denied these charges and con
clusively shown their absolute falsity,
the Republicans have pursued their vii
lainous course in the hope that out of
| their despair they might win some
strength TO their failing cause. And
while, apparently, deals and combines
were obnoxious to Republicans. we are
now, practically at the close of the cam
paiGn. confronted with the remarkable
spectacle of the Intermountain Repub-
llcan (this paragon of newspaper Vir-
tue) and the host of the leaders Of this
party pleading with the Democrats to
save them from ruin and defeat
Have Conditions Changed?
''Think of this wonderful paper pub.
fishing series of figures rs to how
the Democrats and Republicans bv
combining could defeat the Americans.
Have deals and combines suddenly be-
come virtue 20 and something
greatly to be desired by the RepubIi,
cans! If a deal and n combine was
wrong and an outrage a week ago. and
the parties charged with consurmating
the same were traitors and dishonor.
able citizens, why have these conditions
so suddenly changed? There is only
one answer; it is that they know de.
feat awaits them in this county, state
and nation. And in their despair thew
seek 10 prostitute the Democrats of
Utah by getting them into an unholv
alliance with the party that has brought
nothing but ruin, trouble and strife TO

Democrats should keep within their lines
