JUNGLE" JESSE KNIGHT.
Frank B. Stephens was introduced by
Mr.. Moyle as chairman OF the evening
He made brief talk and tllen called
Jesse Knight as the next speaker. Mr..
knight was given a round OF applause
as he stepped to the speakers table.
Mr.. knight said:
"Mr, Chairman, ladies and gentlemen.
uIiu INON i ALL
afraid that won't be nble to say much
go that / can be heard. This is new
business to me, will assure you, and
l have chosen for my text to talk a
little on political economy. l lave
always been able to talk on q thing
that was foremost in my mind. Brother
Moyle today, coming up here. said he
wasn't able to collect any money. he
hadn't got but $4,000. and want to
appeal now to the Republican party to
help us. They always say at election
them, but havc been trying to borrow
money. and can't find any. Now
I appeal to you. And ! am going to tell
you that we need money. We are go
ing to carry on an honest campaign and
we can't do 1t without a little bit of
money. We don't want much but we
do want some, and in fairness and JUS
tioe we do ask the Republican party
to send in about a dollar apiece to
James H. Moylc. Every Republican
that wants cheaper. coal. send in Il dol
lar. and IL we cannot win fairly at the
polls, why he and the relief societies
together can save up money and COM
mence to buy free passes. Free passes
have kept coal up and passenger rates
up for all these years. Tho same rlllo
is bound to work the other way, SO
your money will not be wasted. But
II you will do that you will have g. sure
thing and fair deal.
Now the constitution says the lcgis-
laturc shall pass laws to regulate the
passenger and freight rates in tho
done 1t, and the Democratic party is
pledged to carry out the constitution Of
Utah."
FAIR RATES.
If a Democratic Legislature and sem
ate Is elected, Mr.. Knight assured the
audience that rates on coal and freight
would be established that would be far
to the people.
"Now | could also talk little on
prohibition as being economy, political
economy. to stamp out the Saloons"
the speaker said. Il know of two little
mining towns that had u good deal to
do with starting. And the first thing
we did in the mining camp was to build
q meeting house before the saloons got
the start of us. After we did that we
wanted n school. and we couldn't get
school taxes. We wanted to have a
school, and we called u vote. There
people in the town--and they all voted
to pay II dollar each for a school. AS
the teacher cost $50, there wasn't quite
enough. and we called another vote and
voted that every man who didn't have
any children should pay 81. And that
carried. 1t carried. and We had q
school. know good many people.
aonie In that little town. who have
grown wealthy. and good many are
well fixed. and there has never been a
dive in that town from that day to this.
Now. I am afraid am taking UP too
much time. I'll wind up very quick.
But would like to ase II Senator
George Sutherland Is In the room7 Tho
only reason do this is that when he
made his first political speech over In
Eureka he invited me to so and hear
him speak. And I said. George, r you
will talk on the silver question. will
go down and hear you. And 80 went
down--but I will not take time to tell
you what he said After the meeting
was over told George didn't see how
he could have said that, The substance
of what he said, the way I interpreted
It. was that Cleveland, away back in
the east there. had turned traitor to
the silver question, and consequently
about 100000 of US Republicans would
turn traitor TO the same principle. They
don't produce any silver back there.
And George was lccturlng in favor OF
silver four years before, and now he Is
pledged to Il gold standard, He wanted
me to go down and hear him explain It.
George used to be my adviser. Now L
dislike to say anything about person,
especially when he Is not here, and my
motto hns been in this campaign. and I
still think 1t Is the only correct prlnci-
pie, Ia not to be personal. don't be-
lleve that over attacked IL person In
my life first. don't believe l. ever
did,. But George, In order to have q
little fun at my expense up in the Og
den convention spoke OF me In u per-
sonal way and made good, Jolly time
for the Republican party. And l en-
joyed It. enjoyed what he said.
SUGAR SITUATION.
II don't believe in attacking anybody
and | nm almost certain that I won't
through this whole campaign, but when
such n ridiculous story as that paper
printed about George-about sugar be-
Ing made cheaper In Canada, why l
want to tell you this We never do give
the farmers less than SO for beets. and
here they buy them for less. so labor
must be higher there And another
thing wc DO up there: We ship sugar
from Germany. We have got 100000
pounds on the. road VOW. Ship raw SUI
gar from Germany and refine It in Can
ada because we can't make enough SUI
gar ut our factory to supply the mar
lrct around there. Now, think Of mon
consistently wnnting the tariff of 80
as to ship sugar In here with all thcm
odds
Nov, IL George had not mentioned
me wouldn't have mentioned him. 1
was talking about George. and / am
going to tell you something else about
| Georsp. but he knows no more about
| tariff than he does some other things.
