Now, let US see: the American party
has no power, it has scarcely any. exist

Ogden has grown and prOspersd. Provo
has grown and prosPered: Logan has

Park City, TOoele. have al grown and
prospered. The whole state from end u
end has gone forward by leaps and
bounds. Our mines, our snelteIs, our
plants, our agricultural lands, cur live
stock interests have all grown and are
growing to vaster proportions all thu
time, Prosperity and plenty abide every
where throughout the borders of the state.
and peace is nowhere absent save here,
the very home ana citadel of the Ameri-
can party.
The city of Salt Lake has simply taken
| the lions share Of this growth and de-
| veiopment. just as Denver has taken TO
| itself so much of the growth and devel-
] cpment of the state of Colorado. just IS
( Chicago and New York, and Seattle have
absorbed so much of the wonderful de .
/ velopment of Illinois, New York ami
/ Washington. Salt Lake is the metropolis
( Of the state, and everybody understands
/ how every great city feeds and fattens
upon the products of the cour try, Dut
when the country ceases to produce the
/ city starves, because Of all the forms in
which population concentrates, the mod
eTn city is the most dependent, and in
Utah in Good Repute.
In Washington the state of Utah
stands as high and in as good repute as
any state in this Union. The voice of re-
preach has ceased everywhere throughout
! this country (applause). and if one today
would hear anything bad about Utah he
must come here to the capital of Utah in
order to hear It. It is an unfortunate
thing when your neighbors speak Ill of

cusable thing.
And now, my friends, what is to be
1 the end Of it? A good many of the mem

/ Of that great party. Do they honestly
( believe that the American party has done
/ or can do as much for the material well

publican party has done and can do in
the future? If one Of these parties is to
go out OF existence, which shall it be- In
/ the interest of all the people, which shall
! il be? Voice from the audience: The
/ American party!)
THAT one which has no existence,
/ which has no power beyond the con-
/ fines of a single city; or that one which
| is part and parcel of superb political
| organization, whose field of activity IS
| limited only by the boundaries of the
great republic itself?
I'VE have recently been considering a
tariff bill in congress. At least in part
! bt cause the representatives from this
state were Republicans. the industries of
| Utah have received adequate protection
/ by the provisions of that bill which is
/ now a law. Because of that protection,
4 our lead mines will continue to operate:
| because of that protection our sugar beet
/ fields will continue to produce their profit
/ able crops Our sheep industry will con-
tinue to thrive and prosperity fill all
/ the avenues of industry throughout the
state. How long would Salt Lake con-
/ tinue to be prosperous if these industries
were to die, or languish, and yet every
/ time you vote the American ticket you
/ jeopardize the existence in this state of
