Especial to The Herald.)

| Bingham. Oct 2a-The most enthusiast
! tic rally of the campaign was held at
| Canyon hall tonight with about 900 men
and women in attendance. Judge q. "
Powo-s gave a most eloquent address,
| which was intercepted time and again by
| prolonged cheering When he said that
sour wears hence when William ]. Bryan
! bad completed ore term as president that
the recple would CO needle him to DE ore
OF the greHtest anG most conservative
| presidents that the country ever mad
the audience went wild and it was sew
erdl minutes tefoie the speaker could
proceed.
Tonights rally was a decided contrast
to re frosty herub'ican meeting of Mon
! day night which was attended by $50
! imported rooters from Salt Lake.
| A. W Forman, district chairman of the
| Democratic party. acted as presiding Of
| ficer. Mr.. Powers said:
THE chmch should keep out of poll
/ tics and il the methods used by the
| Republicans in this campaign are unfair
and un-American they should receive the
idlsapproval of the people Religion should
| not enter into this campaign. and vet
| yearly have the high dignitaries of the
| church appealed to the religious princi-
| pies of the people so as to get control
| of the county.
"Falsehoods are being published broad
cast he said. "One X that the Amer
| leans ami Democrats will cast their votes
| together and get control and drive the
! Mormons 10 Mexico
| ''The funny part is that some people be-
| lieve this kind of stuff. l would recon-
mend that they use their brains and they
| Will find out that they won't wear out
| If they use them. Does 1t not stand to
reason that with So per cent of the DEM
| ocratic party Mormons. they are not try
! ing to drive themselves out of the state?
I'm tins mornings issue of the church
organ on the front page was big story
of a meeting of s. A. King and Mr.
| Kearns in cafe, framing up a political
j zeal. New. ladies and gentlemen have
we come to point in this campaign
where we cannot speak or lunch with our
| friends? The meeting was accidental, Just
as You and / going into a restaurant and
| meeting some one whom we knew Is
there anything wrong about that? Do
you approve OF these methods? Is that
the Republicanism of Abraham Lincoln /?
l. surely proves that they are driven to
| desperation to wage that kind of war
| fare and expect honest men and women
TO sustain them, for by. voting the Re
| publican ticket you endorse them.
Shoots Fib.
Mr.. Smoot stated the other day that
| he had a conversation with Jesse w
| knight on the train to Salt Lake and
| that he asked Mr.. knight how it was
| that he was stumping the state and ad-
vocating the election of Bryan when he
did not believe in him. and that Mr.
Knight had answered that he did not
expect to see him elected. l Just want
70 say a word in reference to this state
ment. In the first place, no gentleman
would repeat any private conversation
held with another gentleman and most of
you have read Mr.. Knights statement in
which he says he believes in and advo-
Gates the election of William j. Bryan
for II Is for the interest of the miner and
| smelter man and all the laboring class
he oGia 81
terests at a profit. while Mr.. Smoot was
forced to keep his wooden mill in Provo
idle during these years of Republican
prosperity Mr.. hnight brands the story
as an absolute falsehOod. and / leave it
to you who is the story teller 1t only
goes to show that with defeat staring
them in the face they are desperate ana
unless they can fool the people, the DEM
ocratic party will be victorious
The Republican orators have sbeen
painting you pretty picture of the Dem
ocratic party in power which means hare
times. and the Republican party with the
working man happy and contented with
his full dinner pail. Loi and behold un-
der a Republican administration manic
occurred that there is not any need of
reminding you about"
Judge Powers quoted conditions
throughout the country as late as last
February He also saiu:
Il see by the papers that you had
double-header here this week. United
Z
spoke here. | used to imagine that a
United States senator must be an illus
trious and intellectual citizen such as
Sumner and Webster, and / thought NV
cup would be Overflowed if / coald meet
one and shake him by the hand When I
think of the present senators of this
state they look biggest when farthest
off,
Too Much Prosperity
Senator Smoot tells US that the panic
was caused by too much prosperity Yes
YOU became so rich it made Won moor
prosperity brings poor wages and bad
times and starvation You should be
thankful your wages are reduced 1t is
mistake to have them raised. Too much
prosperity breaks the banks closes the
shelters and shuts down the mines
The truth is panics occur because peo-
pie have no confidence in the banks Laws
are not made for the people. but the gov
eminent was made for the hanks The
Democratic party has a remedy for this
and IL is one of the principal issues of the
campai gn-guarantee OF bank deposits
which has been tried in Oklahoma and
which has proven a success. II will keep
the money. which is the life-blood of the
country, in the town or city where it IS
deposited. for If the people are to take
chance on getting il again they will bury
it, put il under the carpet and without il
the work OF the country cannot be done
and business becomes stagnant 1t is to
your interest to keep the money at home
This is one OF the reforms advocated bv
the Democrats. Senator Smoot says il is
not any good. know he is a revelator
/ but sometimes he does not reveal right
OF Vital Interest to Labor
Judge Powers spoke al length on the in
come tax and read the platform as adopt
! ed with reference to that by the Democrat
1 ic party and said that Mr.. Bryan pledges
| and advocates the employers liability law
which is of vital interest to the labor class
