LIQUOR QUESTION.
Two years ago, Mr. Moyle charged
that the Republican party had made
n doal with tho liquor interests. Az
proof OF his statement he declared
that Mr., Fred j, Iticsel or OEdon,
formeriyn Democrat, had refused to
support tho party and had contribute
cd to- tho Republican, campaign fund.
z Continuing Mr.. Moyle said:
I have met on ono hand and another
Ill Nav,
& loon men of the state who told mo
that they We're going to support tho
Republican Harty. and l asked thom
s why; have your political principles
4 changed? They replied, No. but our
interestA have changed.
'The 1nteimountain Republican came
out with blazing headlines. Shall wo
have prohibition in Utah?' producing
an agitation that brought this con-
dition about and made these mon un-
dersttnd that unless they, undar the
i demand, yielded there would DO pro-
1iibitery laws enacted that would be
inimical to tho interests OF the liquor
4 men of the state.
4 Elm this campuisn it 1t my desire that
IT shall be conducted along business
lines, The Democrats Will have little
money To spend, We have got to look
to the loyal people OF the state to pro-
teot our Interests. Wo cannot look to
q oHiCehnlders. Many of tho mnnaycd
men Of the PARTY that have heretofore
contributed literally have gone to the
li! Americana. Already many of our bcst
workers are In that party. Mon have
been. for one REASON or another, taken
over to tho Republican party, and we
have got to look To the people. tho
honest poople, the people who
y arc looking to the nplirt-
81 ing OF the people Of thia state ~ tho
g preservation OF the morals of this state
to carry on this campaign"
