John w. Summerhays OF Salt Lake
City, sang. "rhe Rosary" III You'll
Remember Me-
Precinct Chairman j. w. Cherry
made a few opening remarks and then
introduced Senator George Sutherland
as the speaker Of the evening, Sena-
tor Sutherland dwelt for Il few moments
on what the citizen has a right to ex-
pect from the government, but In re-
turn every citizen owes TO tho govern
ment that he discharge the duty of
citizenship. People should take up
questions considered during the CAM
pnign that all might cast an intelligent
vote.
The speaker allowed that both parties
are honest, patriotic:and desire the well
fare of the state and the nation. other,
wise we might well despair OF the per-
petuity of the American institutions.
AS the subject of prohibition had been
ceiving more attention than any OF the
other political questions, tho speaker
said, 1t will be necessary to consider II
fairly. and stated thnt this would he
his subject of the evening. Before TAX
Ing up the question he discussed the
history OF a party which he claimed
had always been right on national prob

right now. Reference was then made
Z to the organization OF the Republican
party In 1856. and the successful cam
Z paign Of 1860. when Abraham Lincoln
was elected. He briefly traced the
work OF the Republican party showing
that It had been successful eleven times
since 1860 in clectinG II president, out
+ of thirteen contests.
He then took zip the subject of pro-
hlbition by saying the Democratic party
promises statewide prohibition. which
is contrary to three cardinal principles
of the party, viz, the Democratic doc
trinc of local sclf-governmcnt the doc
trine on sumptuary legislation and
contrary to the idea that the people
shall rule.
AS TO PROHIBITION.
On the prohibition proposition. the
Republican party declared for the pro-
hibiting of sale or disposal NJ intox-
+ icants outside of Incorporated cities,
because Of there not being adequate
police projections. which means prohibit
ton cverywhere except In cities. Ref
crencc was made to the sale of liquor
10 Indians and cowboys on reservations.
where much trouble followed because
OF lack of proper police protection. The
Republican party believes that the mat
Z ter should be submitted to the people
themselves. an election be called. and
{ where people desire prohibition then
tho Legislature should SEQ to the ell
forcing of the will of the people. Where
people did not favor prohibition then
ne favored as strict regulation MS could
be effectively enforced First of all
provisions should be made for early
closing.
Senator Sutherland referred to the
deal talked about between the Repub-
,iicans and the liquor interests as being
UNANIMOUSLY and brazcnly false.

tween Democratic times and Repub-
