sot Lake. Oct. 1.--Castigating
the leaders of the Democratic party
a. Utah in no uncertain language,
Newton Farr. life long Democrat
n Weber and Salt Lake counties.
Yesterday said he was "a man with
ont a party and announced that he
could not conscientiously support the
democratic ticket. Mr.. Farr. who
has been one of the strongest work
ers of the Democratic party has sew
cred his connection with the present
organization of Utah Democrats and
insists that the "rascals In the par
W. should be turned out and re-
organization of Democratic affairs
take place. He attacked w. r. Wal
lace. s. r. Thurman and other lead
ers who, against the wishes Of the
rank and file of the Democratic par
~. he said, caused a fusion to be
brought about.
Not for Revenue Only
q am a Democrat and am not
Democrat for revenue only" said
Mr.. Farr. My principles Of Democ-
racy 20 farther than that. No true
Democrat can idly sit by and see the
self constituted leaders Of the Dem.
ocratic party prostitute the entire
principles on which the party has
been founded and then go into con.
vention and nominate two men for
congress on Democratic ticket who
will fight President Wilson from the
time they take their seats, If Utah
should be so unlucky as to elect
them. This is one of the things the
Democrats of Utah or rather those
who have appointed themselves to
the leadership of the party, have
done. Reed Smoot is opposed to
President Wilson, but he is out In
the open, fighting him like man;
he is not trying to slide into his seat
In the Senate through the false pre-.
lenses of the leaders of the Demo.
cratic party.
"The fusion in Utah Is nothing
more or less than conglomeration
Of peanut politicians who have for
their purpose not the success of the
Democratic party, but what they can
get out of 1t for themselves. Every
time there has been a fusion In this
state the Democratic party has gone
down to defeat. In 1898 in Weber
county the Democrats fused and de-
feated every real Democrat running
for Office. When A. w. McCune was
the Democratic nominee for the Unit.
ed States Senate before the legisla-
ture Of Utah, what happened? For
many ballots the Democrats stood
firm and then when 1t was almost
certain that the Democrats were to
elect him Aquila Nebeker, who is
now United States marshal for Utah,
deserted his party and voted for
Frank j. Cannon. His vote was suf-
hcent to elect Mr.. Cannon to that
high office and everyone knows the
results.
Man Without Party
I am man without party. Ever
since | have had the right Of suf-
rage have been Democrat and I
ani going to remain a Democrat no
uatter what the leaders of the sup.
posed Democratic party in Utah do.
say am a man without party be-
eause do not think that the ticket
Wnich is in the field this year is
democratic ticket. J. II. Moyle, who
heads the ticket, was not entitled to
the nomination which he received. w.
a. King, the man who has done more
'or otahs Democracy than the whole
tahg put together, is the man who
should be leading that ticket and pe.
