governor because of this political parades have nt not been ind indulged bulged I 1 in u by them during recent years but this the first effort in the present campaign surpasses by a great way anything of the kind ever conducted here it was admired by all the citizens the chairman of the liberal city committee J judge adge powers and other prominent men of the party watched it with close interest and could not restrain their compliments there was one special feature that may be noted in connection with the approaching election and that was that there were no foreign c clubs u bs in the column there was not a man in attendance outside of the local political clubs in this city all were salt lakers nor was all the party out As before stated there were many particularly of advanced years the condition of whose health induced them to be cautious about going out in a snowstorm there were many others who thought they would like to look at the parade and of these hundreds who lined the streets when they saw the leading men of the community in the ranks wanted to be there too and emphatically doc declared lared that the next parade would find them under the stars and stripes in the ranks of their party storm or shine the great result of last evenings parade is most gratifying and the desire for another impelled by the enthusiasm of the veople people is i s very strong when it cornes comes even this glorious success will be added to and so far as this campaign is concerned will result in the triumph of free and honest government by the election of the peoples peopled candidates on february the people are coming to the front and ob and tricksters trick will do well to stand out of the way |
