The people will not again be fooled bv the Democratic nondescilpt platfoim, and the colorless candidate that hopes to climb In by It. The Democratic party reminds me of the stoiy of Senator Sen-ator Dcpcvv's blooded dog. When a I lad upon his father's futm he went to a circus one day and saw what he supposed sup-posed to be a beaut Iful spotted coach dog. He purchased it and teturned witli it to his home. Ills father ie-monstrated ie-monstrated and said that a spotted dog would drive the cattle cray Young Depow protested that it was all right. That It was a blooded dog. Tlie next day lie took it Into tlie 1 woods to tiy It hi a coon hunt, but ' unfortunately a lain storm came up which washed all the spots oh" the dog ' leaving it a homely, mangy, yallercur. ' Young Dcpew straightway besought ' the seller and told him of the deception decep-tion only to meet with the rcjoit, "Good gtaclous my fiiend thcier was an umbiellu went with that dog, 1 didn't )ou get the umbrella?"

Always seeking to legislate for tlie benefit of people In other lands, to the injury of American labor and industry. in-dustry. I fear that I have ahcady occupied more than my share of tjie time, but In conclusion I ask you to consider tho magnlllclcnt administration of State and National airalis during tho past two terms. The future can bo srfclv Judged from the oxpctlcnccof the v tst.

JB ' Concluded from last page when things are going well wltli ou W and second when thej aie going bad- I iy. Ilefore concluding 1 will briefly recount re-count some of the uchlceinents of the two past Republican administrations as summarized in the great speech of Secretary Root befoic the Republican National Convention at Chicago. "The administration of McKinlcy fought and won the war with Spain, put down the Insurrection In thcl'liil-Ipplnet, thcl'liil-Ipplnet, annexed Hawaii, rescued the legations in J'ckln, brought Pcrto Rico into our commercial system, enacted a protective tariff, and established our national currency on the linn foundations founda-tions or the gold standard by the 3 financial legislation of the Klfty-Slxth I Congress. A "The piescnt admlnistiatlon has rc- 1 duced taxation, reduced the public B debt, reduced the annual Inteiest jL t charge, made elTectivo progress in the fcigrf regulation of trusts, fostored business, SrP"li promoted agriculture, built up the 1 w navy, reorganized the army, resurrcct- I cdtlienillltiasjstem.

Now with this lccoid of things done and results achieved; now In the light I ot past experience, and of piescnt ful fillment, the Republican party confidently confi-dently submits Its cause to the Judgment Judg-ment and common sense of the people. peo-ple. Our friends of the opposition are resourceful and persistent. Like the man walking through the graveyard, they are whistling to keep their courage cour-age up. This Is no time for Republicans Republi-cans to fall asleep or sulk In their tents. The Republican party of Utah expects every Republican to do his duty. Can wo strengthen the National Na-tional Republican ticket by yielding a half-hearted support to our state and county ticket? I say, emphatically, emphati-cally, No! Lotus buckle on our ai-mor ai-mor and unitedly assault the breastworks breast-works of Democracy. Letus proclaim to the people, "Come out of the Democratic Dem-ocratic party that je be not partakcis of her sins and receive not of her plagues." |
