We the Democrat! of Weber county, In convention assembled, do hereby declare our allegiance to the plat-forof our party, adopted by the national convention at SL Louie and the state convention at Balt Lake City. We express our admiration for our national standard bearers. Judge Alton B. Parker and Senator Henry GL Davis, and congratulate the people of the atate of Utah that they have the opportunity to assist in electing to the highest offices In the gift of the people two such citizens. We pledge our hearty support to the candidates named by our state convention. We Invite the cordial assistance towards securing their election of every person In Weber county who believes in constitutional government In the United States and who desires peace In our own state. If, aa has been charged In some quarters, there shall be an attempt at the next session of the legislature to law-lovi- ng repeal that humane statute softening aomewhat the rigor of the common law rule respecting fellow servants, we hereby pledge the candidates named by this convention to oppose such repeal, unless It shall be by enacting a taw etlll further extending the scope of this beneficial enactment. And to the end that the people may have in their own hands the power to defeat unjust and vicious legislation both In the atate and In municipalities, and also that they may secure the enactment lnto.law of their will. when unjustly Ignored, we do further pledge the legislative candidates named by this convention to labor to secure the passage of a law giving effect to the constitutional amendment adopted by the people of this state four years ago, which amendment two consecutive Republican legislatures have permitted to lie dormant, and have. In fact at both sessions of the legislature since held, hurled In committee bills introduced for the purposes above named. We invite the serious consideration of the people of this county to the foot that so far the state of Utah has received no benefit from the law Introduced in congress by a Democrat and passed by Democratic votes against the opposition of the great majority of the Republican members, though fortunnteiy signed by a Republican president, whereby the west shall receive federal aid In the development of Its arid lands, while In all the adjacent states large enterprises are already under way a condition resulting, without doubt, from the contentions, strife and discord existing between the two Republican senators of this state, who, agreeing In nothing, neglect the welfare of the whole people. We pledge the Democratic party of Weber county to an economical ad ministration of the affairs of the county, ever holding that a public office Is a public trust MUST BE REGISTERED.

Lawson of the London Financial News expresses his views on the accumulation of gold in the United States and he thinks that one and a quarter billion dollars In gold is an enormous quantity for a people who do most of their business with very little gold comparatively. Mr. Lawson is of the opinion that a new money problem will eventually take the pluce of that between gold and silver. But, he says, gold is not invulnerable and more than silver was. it is in much the same position today as silver was thirty years ago. Precisely the same cauaea and Influences are working against It, and 1 will be the same. The legal the or conventional value of monetary metal can only be maintained so long as it does not materially exceed the commercial value. In the case of silver, when the two values diverged silver standsufficiently the case In of gold the the ard snapped. same process of divergence between conventional and commercial the values has begun, and when the breakgold ing point la reached the standard will snap. The breaking point might have been reached ere now but for the huge hoards of gold which the treasuries and the state bunks of Europe ajre accumulating. Europe le unconsciously preparing for a counterpart of the American silver crisis of 1893 for a yellow scare instead of a white one. Whether there is or there ia not merit enough in Mr. Lawson's argument to cause serious fear that the present standard of values shall be disturbed, hie opinion ae a thinker and writer of long experience is entitled to consideration. It is an indication that a new phase of the money question is being discussed. But evidently the financial writer who can so clearly perceive the great and Increasing accumulation of gold, and whose tears are augmented by the fact that In gold has been added to the circulation in the United States In seven years, is not quite so familiar with the astonishing growth of ' the population of the United States and the pace which it sets for a corresponding Increase in commerce, farming. manufacturing and the arts and sciences. ed ed $760,-000,0- " - 00 A Dirty, disreputable and altogether shameful is the fight which is being mitde by the Smootler press upon Judge rowers, the Democratic candidate for representative in congress.

The appointment of Wynne was a source of annoyance to the Republican politicians who regard Wynne as having been guilty of "pernicious activity in bringing to justice August W.

Just "the Congressman's why the president should have appointed Wynne is not clear, as Wynne has never been a politician and is absolutely without political influence or the ability to promote the Republican campaign in any way. 4 .

THE TRUSTS I ; CAN CERTAINLY 8AY THAT THE ADMINISTRATION LEAST ONE DIRECTION. HAS BEEN ECONOMICAL IN AT 4 THE SALE OF A PRESIDENT All doubt has been removed as to the to the sale of President Roosevelt trusts. Wholly in sympathy with combinations of capital in restraint of trade, the Roosevelt administration has gone to the extreme In the present campaign of collecting funds from the trusts under a promise of protection. For some weeks matters of this character have been under investigation until the evidence le clear, that Chairman Cortelyou, of the Republican national committee, le making pledges of immunity from punishment to Illegal combines In return foj liberal contributions to the Republican campaign fund. Wlhlle It has been known that work of this character has heretofore disgraced the campaign politics of the Republican party, at no time In. the past have such tactics been carried to so shameful an extreme.

Those familiar with current political event know that Mr. Hanna would have been the first choice of the trusts had that distinguished Republican lived to enter the presidential race: hut after his death they turned with surprising unanimity to Mr. Roosevelt, made his nomination unanimous. and under the promises made Chairman Cortelyou are conby tributing with great liberality to the fund of the Republican campaign party.

But it le Just as well to say that the national committee has not made one pledge or promise of any kind to the Mormon church, and will not under the circumstances, enter into any political agreement with that organisation. No bid of any kind hae been made for the Mormon vote. Fully a month ago, when 'General J. S. Clarkson had completed a visit of ten days in Salt Lake, local Republicans, particularly the friends of Senator Smoot, passed the word around with an air of mystery that Clarkson had come as a personal representative of the president, and that assurance had been given that Senator Smoot would retain hia seat in the senate If Utah, Idaho and Wyom lng were put In the Republican col- When You See quickly as possible A dollar iav!d is juet ae good as a dollar found.

Just how Clarkson or the president, or any committee could give such assurance, or what sense there was in telling it if such a deal had been made, was one of the things no fellow could find out. The story was so thoroughly circulated that it reached the New York papers and gained wide credence in the east. Apparently the Republicans here were willing to have it believed, for no contradiction was made. The visit of Senator Fairbanks, however, and his appearance as the guest of Senator Smoot's committee, has evidently made a further deep impression on the eastern vote since the national committee deems it worth while to disclaim any connection with the Mormon church In political affairs. Possibly Fairbanks himself hgs had a hand in the proclamation aa the candidate most directly interested and best informed about the situation. And while the subject is up, it is worth while to explode the notion that the president could or would by any possibility take a hand In the finding in Senator Smoot's case. The Washington Post, the most influential newspaper at the capital, discusses this question with authority and in a lucid style that makes its remarks good reading. It says: Granting for the moment that these are days of executive encroachment on the legislative department, the senate would never tolerate any suggestion from the White House about a disputed election case. There are staunch Republicans who are loyal to the president and yet would fight him to the last ditch on such a proposition as either the retention or expulsion of the tall and agile Mormon apostle. The feeling la so keen on that subject that these senators, if approached hy the executive regarding it, would, In Jealousy for their prerogatives, take the opposite side from the one he might advocate just to demonstrate their resentment.
