UTARS CAPITAL
Idaho Senator Urges Voters
to Support Justice Hughes
Fears Panic When War
Is Over.

United States Senator William e.
Borah issued a warning to the voters of
Utah at Salt Lake Thursday night
when he spoke before one of the larg-
est crowds ever gathered at a politi-
cal meeting there and cautioned vot-
ers to go to the polls and vote for
Justice Hughes whose election. he said,
would prevent financial panic at the
end of the war. He was given genu-
inc ovation. A dispatch from Salt
Lake says:
In one of the most eloquent addresses
of the campaign, Senator w. E. Borah
of Idaho made a dramatic and powerful
appeal for support for Charles E.
Hughes and the Republican party at
an enthusiastic meeting held last night
at the Salt Lake theater under the aus
pieces of the Hughes Alliance of Utah.
The activities of the Democratic ad-
ministration were assailed from half a
dozen angles and the foreign policies of
President Wilson were criticised Sc
verely by the orator. Throughout his
talk Of an hour and a half, Senator
Borah refrained from anything SAVIOR
ing of personalities and for the most
part confined his arguments to ex-
cerpts from the Congressional Record
and other sources of public Informal
ton and left the audience to make it's
own deductions.
Every seat in the theater was occu-
pied, while upward of 800 persons
crowded onto the stage and stood in
the wings and standing room was at
a premium throughout the meeting
So compelling was the eloquence of
the Idaho senator that probably less
than dozen persons left the house
before the close of the address. It is
estimated that fully $500 persons
crowded into the theater and approx
mately 1000 more were turned away
for lack of room to accommodate them.
The chairman paid high COM
pliment to Senator George Sutherland
and told briefly Of his record in con-
gress and his standing among the legal
fraternity of the nation. He urged his
hearers to vote the Republican ticket
straight and referred to Governor Spry
as the Republican leader OF the state
who had steadfastly resisted the dicta-
ton of Democratic president with re-
ference to the enforcement of law and
order in the state. During his talk,
especially when references were made
to Senator Sutherland and Governor
Spry Mr.. Allison was frequently inter-
rupted by thunderous bursts of ap-
plause.
Warning was uttered by Senator
Borah that If the nation retained the
Democratic party in power that the end
of the European was would bring upon
the country the greatest panic it has
ever experienced. He said that the I'm
derwood tariff bill would be a danger
GUS instrument to have upon the
statute books with all the nations of
Europe seeking a market for their
goods in the United States.
1.-THE end of the European war with
the Democratic party in power would
be catastrophe for this country the
prosperity of which is founded at this
time on the sale of munitions and sup
plies to Europe" said Senator Borah.
at is the most important thing which
ronfronts the people of this country at
this time. The Democrats urge that
tariff commission is the remedy, but
Democratic tariff commission will
be the same IS a Democratic congress
and will do nothing for the benefit of
the industries and the workingmen of
the United States. Further the tariff
commission has the power only to rec
ommend and congress can do as 1t
pleases afterwards.
1.-THE Mexican policy which we have
carried out has been abominable OPP
posed the policy adopted by the last
Republican administration and when a
Democratic administration makes the
conditions ten times as bad l see no
reason why 1 should not continue to
oppose the Mexican policy.
"One of the most important things
In connection with the campaign in
this country is for the Republicans to
