Is it any wonder that Utah Ia not

Of our state.

The Republicans have passed the
Lill that formed an interstate COM

with the long and short haul law that
worked so much harm To the Inter
mountain country The Republican
party is at present reclaiming the
arid lands of the country. and dur

enlarged homestead bill has given TO
the people of this state 1000 900 acres
OF land. We never had an assay Office

representatives from Utah visited
President Roosevelt and persuaded
him TO have one established in Salt
Lake City.
On the temperance question the
Republicans have decided that In dis
t!!cts where 1t will be possible to en-
iorce prohibition and where the pco-
pie sh0ll want II, the people shall
have the right 10 vote the saloon out
OF existence. To attempt 10 enforce
prohibition In districts where the

Hull Scores Roberts and Norris.
Hon. Thomas Hull Of Salt Lake
Lake City. formerly speaker Of the
house of representatives, was the last
orator on the program Mr.. Hull re-
viewed the speeches made by B. H.
Roberts. He stated that Mr.. Rob-
crts had endeavored to prove by
telegram that the leaders OF the Re-
publicai party had entered into deal
with the liquor interests Of the state,
Mr. Hull bitterly arraigned the Demo-
cratic speaker and read the telegram
which was sent to Washington from
Salt Lake by the three Republicans
during last January. He denied that
there was anything in the telegram
that offered any evidence that such
n deal as Roberts alleges had ever
been consummated
Mr.. Hull read the letter which Ne
phi Morris Friday sent to AIr Rob
erts, and stated that it came from a
man who had already stated In an
Interview that he had received an
answer TO the telegram. which has
played so important part in the cam.
paign, In this letter Mr. Morris
states that the Salt Lake Herald-Re.
publican had branded him as moral
coward.
9rande Morris Coward.
IF there are such things going on in
the Republican party as he claims,
cried the speaker, leaning over the
foot lights and holding aloft the Nor
riS letter. and yet he remains silent
then | brand him as moral coward.
Why should he remain silent and per-
NIT such things to take place, why
does he not cry aloud? Because he
knows that such things do not exist
In the party and that no such infam-
Gus deal as he claims ever took place"
Mr. Hull read excerpts from the
speech of Mr.. Roberts at the constitu-
tional convention held Is years ago in
which the Democratic leader stood
opposed to a prob bition clause being
placed in the state constitution. In
this speech Mr.. Roberts was quotes
as saying that he was opposed to the
prohibition clause because 1t would
interfere with individual liberty.
"Mr. Roberts has stood on both
sides OF every important question"
vowed the speaker, "and | am as
founded that he stands so long on
one side OF the religious question"
