! last session Of Congress those men
I showed their fidelity 10 the Repub-
lican party, showed their devotion TO
/ the country we all love.
IN the time Of Grant the Repub-
liean party had its sO-called liberals
/ in the time OF Blaine il had its mug
Wumps; now II has a small faction OF
men who are pleased 10 call them
selves insurgents who are loud IN de de-
nunciatiOn OF the party organization,
and who are Democrats masquerading
under the guise OF Republicanism."
Congressman Howell briefly re-
viewed the splendid record made by
the last Republican Congress and
closed by paying a glowing tribute
! TO President Taft. The mention of the
/ President was the signal for prolonged
and vigorous applause.
Senator Sutherland Talks.
In introducing United States Sena-
tor George Sutherland, he was referred
I 10 bE Mr.. Joseph as the administra-
ton senator. That the junior senator
| from Utah is popular with the people,
I and particularly so with the younger
element of the Republican party, was
evidenced when he arose 10 speak. He
was given a welcome which was very
enthusiastic.
Senator Sutherland was in bad voice
and il was with difficulty that he had
himself heard against the rumble or
I the water beneath and in the big pa
yiliOn. the acoustic properties of which
are anything but propitious for speak
ing.
cone thing I have observed" said
Senator Sutherland; there are no half
breeds in the Young Mems Republican
club. They take their politics as the
Kentuckian takes his whisky. What
they stand Tor what they fight Tor
and what they fight for they win. This
body OF young men does not fire mutt
neer bullets against the flag under
which il fights. The voice or the
Republican party is the voice or their
club. The people OF this great nation,
and, for that matter any other nation,
can only rule by organization. The rule
Of the mob is anarchy. While all able
men cannot think alike, yet they should
either abide by party agreements or
get out Of the party. The men who
subscribe 10 a party organization and
refuse 10 abide by the majority rule
stultify themselves in the eyes OF the
people.
Insurgents Forgotten.
at is true that there is some in
surgency in the Republican party. In
the time Of the civil war there were
men of LincOln's party who denounced
I the great leader and emancipator.
These men are forgotten in the toll
/ Of years. while the memory OF Lin
coin is enshrined in the hearts OF the
people. There are a few hOt-headed in
dividuals down in the Mississippi val
] ley who are trying 10 stir up trouble
in the Republican party, but they are
not being seriously considered. The
Republican party principles are as
near and dear TO the hearts or the peo-
/ pie as ever
Senator Sutherland made brief ref
| erence 10 the work OF the last Congress.
and spoke feelinEly of the great
achievements of President Taft.
Utah has friends in Congress be
/ sides its own delegation" said Mr..
Joseph in introducing Senator Clark
~naHN on
that he was a friend and guest the
Wyoming senator was given reception
beth cordial and enthusiastic.
Party Works Overtime.
4 deem it fitting that the Repub-
ncan party in Utah take a day off and
spend IL in social and political pleas
ures," said Senator Clark. During the
past year and a half the party has been
working overtime in the interest of all
the people. In fact, the party has been
working day and night, and sometimes
on Sundays"
Senator Clark made a strong defense
OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He
said that in the past twelve months
since the bill had been in operation 1t
had COMPOUNDED its enemies. He COW
cred in some detail the achievements
Of Congress and made especial refer
eDce 10 the SmOOt homestead act, which,
he said, meant so much to the people
Of Utah. AT this juncture in his re-
terrupted by applause.
Utah's Big Part.
in all the achievements In Congress,
Utah has a conspicuous and intimate
part" continued Senator Clark. IN
every piece OF legislation which has
had 10 do with the public domain
and other matters equally as impOr-
tant. the senior Senator from Utah
has shown keen business sense. The
recognition he has received in the
He OF ter fafar
pliment to him than anything 1 may
say. The junior senator from Utah
has distinguished himself and has
brought honor 10 his state He took
prominent part in the enactment OF
the most important laws of the last
session. There are few United States
senators as able as Senator Sutherland,
and there Is 10 senator whose opinion
is asked and followed by his colleagues
as is his. Utah IS decidedly fortunate
In being represented in the House by
Congressman Howell. He is a man OF
works and not words"
Senator Clark admins tered a sting
ing rebuke 10 Victor Murdoch of Kan
sas and men Of his cult. Senator Clark
said that in the light OF recent events
and utterances, the country was ex-
tremely fortunate in having so-called
''sJand-pat" Republicans. and even
standstill Republicans while the waves
OF socialism and anarchy are dashing
the ship Of state.
SmOOt Heartily Greeted.
when United States Senator Reed
Smoot stepped to the front OF the plat
form he was greeted by applause which
lasted until he adjusted his spectacles
took them off and wiped them with
his handkerchief and readjusted them.
In the way OF preface. Senator Smoot
said that he never felt prOuder of the
old Republican party than he did at
that moment. The senator's views
seemed 10 be shared by the great
crowd of men and women who stood
before him. There was no hiding the
fact that the people present felt a big
element OF pride IN their senior sena-
tor, who has done so much TO distiB-
guish the state and see TO IL that il
secured its full measure Of recognition
in the United States Senate.
IF Utah doesn't want the true prin-
ciples Of Republication eXemplified In
the halls Of Congress, don't send your
present delegation back there" said
Senator SmOot. "ff you believe in the
true PRINCIPLES of the party make il
