There was nothing about it which

the speeches were partisan in nature.

sense. Men whose brOadest knowledge
OF what is best Tor the American Peo-
PIE in the way of national and state
policies spoke. They did not make
long addresses. They spoke briefly,
but IL has perhaps never been the
pleasure OF the people of this city or
state 10 hear more clear, concise ana
convincing arguments than those ad-
Vanced at Saltair last evening.
Since the last public political gather
ing ia this state, the most important
session OF Congress since the civil war
has been held. The Republican admin
istratiOn, under the able and JudiclOus
Guidance Of President William H. Tart,
has had 10 deal with questions or pub
lie policy which would have COMPOUNDED
any other party than the Republican
party. and as one of the speakers said
IL seemed that President Taft was the
one man OF the nation destined 10 meet
and successfully cope with such mo-
mentOus questions Of state.
1t was evident from the eager ear
and receptive mood Of the gathering
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Republican club that while many had
read the newspapers, and in some IN
stances had been preJudlced against
the policies OF the Republican admin
istration, they wanted 70 hear congress
siOnal truths from such men as Senator
SmoOt Senator Sutherland Senator
Clark the latter OF Wyoming, and Con-
gresham Howell.

AS one by one these congressional
Representatives elucidated the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, the railroad measure,
the SmOot homestead actin its broad
ness ana nberanty-the postal savings
bank bill, and many other laws en-
acted by the last Congress, all room
for doubt as 20 the necessity and wis
dom of these laws under prevailing
public conditions was hastily dlssl-
pated.
There is no hiding the fact that il
requires more than an ordinary galaxy
OF speakers on political issues 10 at
tract a large crowd st a summer re-
sort during the heated month OF August
with election day three months away,
but this extraordinary situation pre-
vailed. Thousands We're willing 10
foregO the pleasures that abound at
Saltair 10 listen 20 a discussion OF
political problems. OF course IL must
be granted that with the abiding con-
fidence that the people OF Utah have in
IT'S present congressional delegation.
the people wanted 10 hear at first hand
the opinions OF the gentlemen who have
played such a prominent part In the
affairs Of the nation during the past
year.
