Niagara Falls to EIectrify Ontario.
The plan to electrify the province
of Ontario, Canada, with power from
Niagara Falls, fully described in the
July Popular Mechanics, is undoubt-
eddy the most stupendous undertake
ing of this character ever projected.
The article states;
THE first contract with the Com
mission was signed by Toronto, and
calls for 10000 hp., the first supply
to be delivered to that city in De-
cember, 1909. Among other cities
that signed contracts are London,
Hamilton. st. Thomas, Woodstock.
Guelph, Berlin, stratford, Preston,
Gait and Ingersoll. Toronto will pay
1910 per horsepower per year and
st. Thomas $3.50 per year. The
prices the other cities will pay range
between these figures, according to
distance from source of supply and
amount of power contracted for, AS
soon as the lines feeding these cities
are completed a line will be run to
Windsor, 247 miles from the Falls.
"The undertaking, which is now
nearing elimination, is a gigantic
one, furnishing, as it will, the power
to light cities, run electric railways
and drive the heavy machinery OF
hundreds of manufacturing con-
Germs" A map accompanying the ar
ticle gives a clear idea of the terri.
tory to be covered by the system.

PEOPLE AT MITCHELL URGED TO

ON OCCASION OF HIS VISIT.

ELK Point, S. D., Sept. 2S.-Conduct-
ing one days campaign in South Da-
kota today, William ]. Bryan poured
volleys of criticism into the Republi-
can platform, Mr.. Taft and President
Roosevelt He covered a good deal of
ground in the state and tonight stopped
in Sioux City, Ia, whence he will
leave in the morning for Rock Island.
Ill.
The expectation was to catch a night
train for the Illinois city, but speeches
along the line so tired the Democratic
candidate that he could not make con-
nection at Sioux City until morning.
Mr.. Bryan spoke a dozen times. his
principal remarks being at Mitchell,
Yankton, Vermillion and here. His ia
vorite arguments today were on the
trusts, guarantee of bank deposits and
publicity of campaign contributions be-
fore the election. He inveighed against
President Roosevelt because, as he said.
of the presidents failure to land any
trust magnate in the penitentiary, and
attacked Mr.. Taft for lodging his plat
form.

In 1896 was referred to by Mr.. Bryan,
and he appealed for that support again
on the ground that the Democratic par
ty proposed real reform. while the Re-
publican party could not be expected to
do anything In that direction.
At every place visited by the Demo-
cratic candidate. or where his train
\ stopped for a short time, he was met
sDy large cheering crowds. A strong
wintry wind from the north did not
seem to affect either the candidate or
his audience.
Thoughtful Bryan.
Observing at Mitchell that the VIM
dows of stores and houses were piac-
arded with Autographs of himself, Mr..
Bryan in the course of his remarks
there urged the people to remove them
tonight and hang up in their stead pic
lures of Mr.. Taft and thus show him
the same courtesy that you have
shown me-"
He said he took II for granted that
the compliment paid him was not per-
sonal, but that 1t was due to the fact
that he was a candidate for the high
est Office In the gift of the people.
Mr.. Taft is a candidate for the same
Office" he said, land one of US will be
elected. AS no one can tell yet with
certainty which will be elected, you had
better tack up both alike if you would
be on the safe side"

convention.
With his marvellous voice rising to a
strident pitch and his whole being aquiver
with the intensity of his feeling, Cannon
hurled his. anathema upon the high of
ficials of the church. And there was no
installing the temper of the audience of
which women formed a conspicuous part
His most radical utterances brought forth
applause and his most bitter denunciation
of the twenty-six was greeted with
cheers.

Right to Be Free.

History will marvel that 100000 people
of sovereign state should have allowed
themselves to be ajOled ruled and iso-
lated by a band of twenty-siX ecclesiasts.
The people have right to be free and the
twenty-siX should be in the penitentiary
of Utah.
Let us see what We have in the way
of issues in this campaign Upon the
Republican side is the execution by the
state of Utah and the county of Salt
Lake of the bargain by which Reed
Smoot retains his seat against the Will
of the majority of the people. That Is
the sole issue involved on the Republican
side. whether a man selected by the
president of the Mormon church and rati-
fled by a majority of apostles in the tenn
pie shall hold his seat against the will
of the people.
THE Democrats took a freight train
loaded with issues to the Logan conven-
ton. They ditched the issues at every
siding along the way and when they got
to Logan they had nothing left but Jesse
Knight and the sack. And then Presi-
dent Smith assured Mr.. Knight that Mr..
Spry would be the next governor of Utah
and the Democrats lost the only issue
they had.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-09-29
Issue of American Party.

"And that is our issue in this campaign.
Whether we shall stand under the
shadow of the statue of Moroni and look
to that for authority, or whether We shall
stand under that flag as the emblem of
equal rights the constitution and the
privilege of the people to govern them
selves. Which way will you choose, free
what your choice will be in this county
and judicial district and some of the
twenty-six are afraid that they know. If
you carry this county and judicial district
the battle IS more than half won. for the
twenty-six must then go in through the
gates of the pententiary or out through
the gates of this country to some foreign
land"
