Tho Tribune recently asked the Des-

what made salt Lake and Utah attrac-
tive 80 homcscckcrS was the loyalty, en-
lcrprisc. good fellowship. moral purity
nud enlightenment that is known of cv-
cry Mormon settlement, and then the

sources of the slate Judge Goodwin,
among other things. cItcd as evidence
OF the growth of the city the fact that
the subscribers nj the free library had
increased from lI,000 10 10000 during

tion thc 6rst day showed an increase
of between $500 and 1000 new voters,
aud there would he as many more on

If the increase of tho last four years

Dark Lantern Meetings.
He referred 10 George Q. Morris S

based on religious hate and intolerance,
and Sutherland S talk ut the theaier,

American party. The Republican city
ticket, said he, contained SIX "Demo' >
Citizens. On tho council ticket eight
uf the nominees are members Of the
dominant church, whether Republicans

simply irving TO save their face this
wear for the county and congressional
election next year.
ne urged his hearers TO watch care
fully the councilmanic ticket, because
j, would be serious to have an Amcri-
can city ticket elected and the council
opposed TO the mayor, and thus he
urged special diligence IN watching the
city ticket.
Referring to Senator Sutherland y
