On assuming the position Ur. Glee uana spoke sa follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladles sud Gentlemen. and fellow Delegatee to the ReConvention: Eight publican Slate years ago the Republican party of the United States nominated Ohios greatest sea as the standard bearer of Republicanism. The party predicted that thle favorite soa was an advance agent of prosperity and la case of ' his election, promised the greatest era of good times this nation baa ever known. It la new seven years since that noblest of men, William McKinley, was Inaugurated president of the United States and rescued the nation from ruin and disaster thrust upon the country by tbe Might of C9evelnndlsa and Democracy. I congratulate you. and through you, the people of this state and tbe whole country on the great prosperity the people of this nation have enjoyed since that nation was last wrecked oa the Democratic rocks of I ncom potency, perfidy and dishonesty. la speaking of prosperity, our Democratic friends point to the Increased prices of commodities over the same prices existing under Cleveland's Inst administration. They, however, for. get to tdll that the low prices of 1893 to 189 were forced down because of the hard times Democracy had thrust upon the country! that even -- 4 a, H3SIKVX3 OKIOOIC said that President Rooee with the low prices prevailing un- party; they slow in his action on tbe too was velt e der Democratic rule, (he common peo-pi- Panama canal business and when Prespriced ident Roosevelt recognized the new could not buy the cheap to gixidtf. because they had no money and Pm nsms republic, made a treaty to build tbe canal anTl contracted to buy which there was no work through honest obtain money.

Kellyltcs. and in regi- that Teddy" was too fast. At first, ments and brigades paraded through he was too slow and then be waa too this country on their way to the n fast. What kind of a gait do these tlonal rapirnl seeking aid fnmi tbe Democrats want our president to trav- government. These large bodies of men survived only through the generfree osity of tlu managers of the soup houses. Our Democratic friends do not tell that part of the story of cheap prices. We admit that prices are higher than they were during the hard times of Clevelandistn during the last rule of Democracy, and we imlnt with pride to the work now being performed by the hundreds of thousands of men who were idle under Democratic rule and who were forced to live upon free soup, but who are now receiving tbe highest pay of American workingmen, with surplus funds for a bank account, even after having paid the high prieea existing today. I'ndcr the Democratic rule the workingmen had no money to buy cheap goods with, while under the Republican rulo they have plenty of money to buy high priced goods. As a proof of the condition of the poor people of our nation, i point to the fort that the workingmen today have deposited In the savings banks of the nation over 7cb.iwo.nbtf dollars more, and deposits In the national banks are over $1,334.0(w.0(ni more than were In the name banka in 1898 under the last Democratic rule. This tells the whole story. Under the last Democratic administration tbe workingmen for a while existed until they had exhausted their bank account, which had been laid aside under Harrison's successful management of government affair, but when their little bank acoounla were exhausted the free soup bouses stared them in the face. My friends, every great act or deed of Ibla country for the lest half century waa performed or granted by tbe Republican party. We have the free-la- x f of the three and million human beings, the great national bank act which restored the nation's credit and placed confidence In our money throughout the world, the great homestead law which furnished free homes to millions of our follow citiiens, the first great railroad that spanned this continent and opened thin intermoun-talcountry to commerce and trade the annexation of Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico, the Philippines sad the freedom of Cuba, the great irrigation law which means so much to Utah and the whole west and for which full credit is due Theodore Rooaevelt, and last, hut not least, la the great Panama canal. These, my friends, are a few of tbe deeds for which the Republican party is Justly proud. To offset this, the Democratic party can point to the fact that Its party when last la power sold over four hundred million dollars' worth of bonds la order to pay the running expenses of the country and thle ia times of peace. More bonds were sold during Ctevelanl's last administration than during the full period of the Spanish war. The Democrats can also point to the fact that this republic, under the Democratic rule, pulled down the Stare and Btrlper t Honolulu and attempted to put a half savage queen upon the throne to rule over a free one-hal- n people. That ia the record of the half century of Republican and Democratic rule. Every Republican act has the approval of tbe great bulk of the American people, while the Democratic acta are pointed to with the finger of scorn and disapproval. For some reason, our Democratic friends have token a great dislike to the greatest living American of today the next president of the United Slates. Theodore Roosevelt. 1B 1980 tbe Democrats charged that the Republicans would not build the Panama canal. They said the railroads did not want the canal built and that the rallroada owned tbe Republican el? President Roosevelt travels the "get there" gait. At first he is slow when caution requires It be goes faster as he warms up, like all thoroughbred stock. 1 do not blsme the Democrats fur objecting to Teidys fast gait, for if be keeps it up the Democrats will be dim ajeed at the poll king before election day. The Democrats have been bowling about the trusts. At first they charged that the president did nut dare to proreed against the trusts; they charged that trusts owned tue presiuent nnd when the president orderel the suit tiled against tbs Northern Securities company, that greatssl. combination of railroads, headed by those Rockefeller. Pierpont Morgan. J. J. Hill and E. H. Harrlman. the Democrat said tbe suit never wouln 1st filed; they said It was all a bluff. When the suit was actually file!, they said it would never be tried. When the suit was tried, they said the supreme court would not render a decision until after election and then throw the case out of court, but last month the supreme court actually rendered Us Jeclsiou, declaring tbe great Northern Securities comiwny a trust, and an unlawful one at that, and directing it to be dissolved, nnd (he most remarkable lart of It all Is that every member of the supreme court In favor of this decision waa a Republican and every Democrat of the supreme court was against this derision, declaring this great trust to be unlawful. THINK OP IT. The Democrats howling about the destruction of trust and all three of their representatives on the supreme bench fighting la favor of continuing the trust. There la CONSISTENCY for you. The Democrats were la power four years before McKinley's election. The same law existed then under which this great trust case was tried, yet the Democrats never made an effort to enforce that law. When McKinley went war to Into office he bad the contend with and took little action against trusts, but no sooner was Theodore Roosevelt Installed la office than prompt action waa taken and now when President Roosevelt has actually choked the life out of the .biggest and most dangerous trust in the country tbe Democrats say that It la all for campaign purposes." The president has won his first big trust case and now the Republican party is after the beef trust President Roosevelt says he wants to know why the price ot a live steer Is getting cheaper while the price of the butchered steer grows higher and he Is going to find out, too, and when hs does there will be another suit and another trust choked to death; but it seems that President Roonevelt'a trust policy ia also too fast for the Democrats. Already eastern Democrat papers have announced that it Is well for the President to go slow In his assault upon these great burines enterprises. lest he thrust a panic upon the country. THERE YOU ARB. If Teddy Is fast the Democrats want him to go slow; If he Is slow they want him to go fast. Did you ever see such a disgruntled. dissatisfied, unpleaaable, lot of people ss the Democratic politicians of today? They remind ms of a dog who had been howling all one evening, and the master said to Ms negro servant, Hamlin, give that dog some water, so he will atop howling." The negro replied, Mass, watt ah won't satisfy that air dog hs am hungry and he smells that ehlckea pie Melinda am cooking in the kitchen and he won't stop howling until he gets some of 11." Now. that Is Just, the trouble with our Democratic friends. They are howling and they are hungry for political pie. They havs smelled the pie In the shape of good offices the Republicans have been dealing out, and s, 8nih belly-ac- hing OGDEX, tTTAIT. these Democrats are going to con linns to howl until they get some of that pie. and I fear they will continus to bowl, because the Republicans are going to keep the pie. The emell of tbs pie to all the American people will grant tbe Democrats. lately the Democrat have been howling about the pcistofih robberies. They forget, however, that it was President Roosevelt who waned the Investigation soon after he took the oath of office, and it was he who discovered the frauds and that It was discovered that the great original thief In the postofflee department was appointed by Grover Cleveland, who held over under McKinley's administration and waa promptly arrested by President Roosevelt, tried and convicted. The Democratic congressmen demanded a congressional Investigation of tbe poeinf-fle- e department. They fcarel lest the President should allow guilty Republican to escape. The investigation was granted and. LO and REMOLD, the committee reported that tbe liemorral-ii- : congressmen had joined he others la putting thrir fingers iu the public treasury and what a howl went up from our Democratic congressmen they said tbe committee was not appointed to investigate r ingress, but tbe postofflee department. The replied that ii waa In (he pustofllr department that they found the congressmen doing business. I do not deny that during the Spanish war some of the Republn ana. as well as the iwmocruts. dl l stealing In the ost office department, but 1 do claim that our fearlem president was great enough to publieli wrong doing, even when dime by members of hi own party, and that is why the American people respect and honor Theodore Roosevelt. The most foolish criticism i have heard the Democrats make was that they feareJ President Roosevelt would lead them Into war. because he waa not afraid to fight. What do they want la the White House? A toward? I love Theodore Roosevelt, because 'I know that anybody who tries to run over him while he ia president of the United State Is going to get whipped. That la why tbe American people like him. Suppose the British or French minister should try to knock a chip off TedJy's shoulder and he should foil to resent It the Democrat would say that he had no nerve; and because he would resent it, they say he has too much nerve. Theodore Roosevelt has met the wild rat and the mountain lion, the bear and the buffalo, the Indian and the western cow boy, the Spaniarls on the field of battle, the millionaire trust and the Democrats and has whipped them all. and what la more, he Is prepared to do it again. After having disimsed of everything In sight, who is there left to start a fight with? It surely does no harm for the governments of this world to know that there la a maa la the Whits House chair who would insist upon lha American citizens anl our flag being protected wherever they may be found. In fact, I believe the American citlxena are safer abroad aim It Is discovered that we have a man In the White House chelr who la not afraid to fight In preference to disgrace, dishonor and humiliation. We trusted Teddy aa a row boy. aa a member of tbe legislature In New York, as a civil service commissioner, aa secretary of the navy, aa a soldier on the battle field, as governor of the great stole of New York, as of rhls nation and as president of the greatest government on earth. And during all his great career, he has never once made a mistake. Surely a man who can pass through a record Ilka that is not going to make any mistakes when he haa reached the highest round of tbe ladder, when bla greatest ambition Is to pass through hla final and great career with honor and credit to himself. We think Theodore Roosevelt la a safe man In the president's cnatr. and we are going to enter him in the nice for four years more, and the Democratic Moses will not even get a chance to see the dust from Teddy's heels ss he rare through the country fromMnine to California. fromtheGreat Itoke to the gulf, and he will be reelected by the greatest majority that any candidate for the presidency has iue vice-presid- APRILS', 1901.

Quoting further from the language of that treaty, ha said: it ia by this treaty that all existing legislation must be measured and whenever its provisions are founa to be inconsistent with the treaty's provisions that legislation is a nullity."

Hackctt) Tha Jaalmay vf actors 1 prove ManWilliam F. said Mueaster, blti," ager for Miss Isabel Irving. I honestly believe that this ia the fault ef the stage rather than of tha people on It. I know for Instance that the most jeateua member of our company la a email bantam hea, who acts as understudy for a game cock which is used ia the second act of The Crisis. We had been on the road less than a month before we noticed the peculiar actions of this particular hea. To thoroughly understand the matter I must tell you that the cock Is carried cm tha stage in the second act or The Crisis In the arms of Clarence Colfax ae ef the principal characters in the piece. At the proper time each night the Utile follow walks from his house to the second entrance left, and statute waiting for hla cue. then he files up Into tee actor's arms and goes on for his part. Oace on the stage all he haa to do is to look wicked. The efforts that the hen has made to get a chance to act ar almost pathetic. Her first game was to atop sating iu the hope that her greedy com pantea would over rat and be too 1 THE to play. This came very near being successful tor the cock was Just able to crawl heroically to his proper place that night; he could not fly tip Into the man'a arms and bad to be lifted and be went to sleep tbe moment lie was carried on tbe stage. After that we fed the chickens separately. Another time we found the hen In the by the cock, place usually occupied but she was there so much ahead of time In her eagerness to get a chance to play that the property man's suspicions were aroused and he made a hurried Investigation. In some manner tbe hen bad gotten out of her bouse without letting her companion realize It aud bad then fastened tbe door on blin; we found tbe poor felbis wings against tbe low besitng dour most pitifully. Tbe next time, the hen's offense found that ihe was of deeper dye. chickens were underfoot most of the time and finally I told the property nan to tic a string to the foot of each bird, allowing them room to move about In front of their house, but not enough to get In ihe way. The string tied to tbe leg of the cock was Just 111 Tn Winston Churchill's Great Play long enougb to allow him to walk to bis entrance. Mr. Rose who plays Colfax, has so used to finding the cock on time and waiting for him. that he baa never bothered to see about this 'prop.' One night we again found the little hen waiting In place of her rival. Hils lime she had taken the string in her mouth and wound it round and round the door of tbetr house so that the real actor could not move a foot, then she ran to take his place. Here once more she was foiled and for a time she made no effort to get on the si age. but drooped most pitifully, Finally her chance came: the cock had the pip or some other disease which laid him low temporarily. That night as I went back before the first act. to see If. there was anything Miss Irving wanted. I heard the property man sy a he stood before the chicken house. 'Well little lady you've got your chance at last; you will play ilic part tonight I wish yeu could have seen that hen. She ran out of her hoii-- c and began strutting up and down the stage In front of her sick companion, her head was cocked to one side tad she strutted with all the be-co- airs of a actor, then she began to get nervous; first, she ran over to the second entrance and stood for a moment In the wings, as If waiting for her cue and then ran back. Then she walked up and down for all r' the world like a leading woman on the first night of a new play. 8he was cleariy In the grip of stage fright. Finally the time came for entrance. M'- - were standing around to watch her for she was the funniest thing I had ever seen. She was two or three minutes too early nt her place, and stood there welling, first on one foot and then on the other; every second or two she would look hack toward Mr. Rose's dressing room, as If to say, 'why doesn't that man come, does he want to spoil my scene?' Finally the moment came, she was picked up and carried on the stage; for moment the glare of the foot lights bothered and then the triumph of the moment waa too much for the little hen. she raised her head, looked Miss Irving full In the face, thep casting one look of triumph at her sick companion off stage, she opened her little throat and crowed." d the Longest Siege of Low Prices in Ogden GRAND OPERA HOUSE dS One PATFTPA |
