John Dcrn, w. Mont Ferry and Joseph
I.ippman made speeches. The two first
named spoke earnestly and effective
and Mr. Lippman made stirring effort
that set the gathering wild with en-
thusiasm and applause. Even f1shei

The days receipts were not heavy
Tor various reasons. Saturday after
noon was u holiday in many OF the OF
fees. Monday forenoon was bad from
the weather standpoint, aud there has
been some delay in getting the author

institutions, like the postofficc, the rail
road offices and the like. The needed
authority is in sight now, however. and
the big thing will be on III dead, sober

the movement that was on. and he ex-
pressed a conviction that no patriotic
citizen of Salt Lake could afford TO
hold off and refuse to do his share.
Mr.. Ferry told of the efforts being
put forth by the special committee
and promised to have something inter.
esting to report for it Tuesday or
Wednesday. He joined with the other
speakers in urging everybody not to
falter in the work and expressed his
conviction that success was sure to

Mr.. Lippman worked a bit of poetry
into his remarks early in the game
aud closed with another extract from
the field of verse. His poetry was we'll
chosen and his prose was spirited in the
highest degree, He spoke in part as
