Show DAILY 4 UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. ROOSEVELT, FAIRBANKS AND Roosevelt, Fairbanks and Prosperity is the Republican slogan with George B. Cortelyou thrown in to make weight. Indeed, while the politicians of the Republican party esteem Mr. Cortelyou a very fair clerk, but no greater it is a question if they will not find that he is the biggest quarter of the pie this year. Roosevelt: A creature of accident. Forced into the by his enemies who wanted to get rid of him, and edged into the presidency by the deaths of the two greatest The man whom every figures of his party. Republican is for, but whom no Republican vice-presiden- cy wants." Fairbanks: A careful, ponderous, corpormost of his promination lawyer-deriv- ing ence from the fact that his wife is president of the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and from the further fact that his nephew, Homer Davenport, cartooned him always in company with McKinley and later in company with Roosevelt. A fair measure of his intellectual capacity is shown in the speech which he made in Salt Lake when he came here to turn this state over He recited to the Republican party. the same platitudes only in a less effective way that were told in the ward meetings here fifteen years ago when the first speakers went out for the Republican party; all the statements were derived from the old declarations of the party and scarcely any of them were applicable to the modern party. Prosperity: It is like a bass drum mostly all sound and mostly all hollow. There has been a greater shrinkage of values under Roosevelt than under Cleveland; and the whole nation mourned when Cleveland was in power on account of the bankers panic. The situation is much worse today, as a careful comparison of the records will show; and the people are turning to Grover, preferring even Clevelandism to Rooseveltism. The prosperity which has increased the price of many of the necessaries of life to consumers, while at the same time not advancing the wages of toliers in proportion, is a prospertv for the trusts and not for the common people. The prosperity which has occasioned the discharge of 75,000 railway employees and which threatens the discharge of 50,000 more, is a prosperity for the coupon cutter and not for the poor working mans home. The prosperity which enables the millionaire preferred stock holders of corporations to pay full dividends oh their own holdings and to lay up a large reserve while dodging dividends on the common stock held by the common people and reducing its value on the markettonil is the kind of prosperity which Republicans have given to the United States. It is a prosperity in which only a few can share; while the breach between those few and the mass of our citizenship grows wider and wider. It is .the kind of prosperity which those who are prospered by it should vote for and those who are not prospered by it should vote against; and in such case the Republican ticket will be overwhelmingly defeated. As to Mr. Cortelyou, who will probably be the largest factor of the four in this campaign, his selection as chairman is an insult to the old wheel horses of the Republican party. He has come to a cabinet position solely because he wasa pet and confidante of Roosevelt. He has had no large experience in public affairs. He has not demonstrated any capacity as a political leader. And he was only made chairman that through him the Roosevelt method might find an easy egress to the political arena. All eyes will be on Mr. Cortelyou, because when we see him jumping up and down we will know that Roosevelt is pulling the string. Never before since the Republican party was organized has it gone into a campaign with so hopeless a candidate, with so absurd a platform and with so poor a chance of success as it presents to the American voter to.

That monument, when it is completed,' will forever mark, will forever watch and guard, over the memory of brave men, who died fighting against the national government. In the thoughts which crowd our minds, in the emotions which fill our hearts, in the words which we shall utter, we are to make no paltry admissions, no mean confessions, no dishonoring renunciations; but standing uncovered in the presence of Almighty God, proclaiming the integrity of the dead, signalizing the cause for which they died, renewing our allegiance to the sacred compact of brotherhood and soldiership, we are to reconcile this act of pious homage with perfect loyalty to the Union, to the flag, and to those of our countrymen who successfully fought 1904. of Merchandise OUR CLEARANCE SALES WEED OUT THE SEMI-ANNU- AL OLD ed Wash Materials, Parasols, Notions, ever-increasi-ng k Materials, Hosiery, Corsets, Ready-to-We- ar Shoes, etc., etc., should Fancy-Wor- ng South.

Her dearest aspirations had been for half a century poured out as rich libations upon the altar of the Union, her fondest traditions, radiating from the Hermitage, inspired and sustained the thorough conservatism of her people. The 9th of February, 1861, by an overwhelming majority, they voted down a proposition to assemble a state convention. They would not even consider secession. The 24th of the following June, by a still larger majority they gave their assent to the proclamation of the governor dissolving their relations with the Union and casting in their lot with the Confederacy.

All minor differences, all doubts and all fears were sunk in the single issue of the Union on one side, and the Confederacy on the other. The law of force against Force alone was to decide.
