Viking Lawson rad the list of those who had purchased tickets, and took occasion to remini the club who were and who were not its friends, as he went along. For instance, when the name of George T. Odell was read, Lawson mentioned that he had purchased three thousand tickets, while this man Jakes only bought five dollars worth. The club can see who its friends are was the frequent comment of this eminent politician as the reading progressed. When Lawson had finished there was .

Then something really - ' funny happened. Lawson pulled from his pocket an ancient copy of the Herald containing a cartoon! and a brief notice to the effect that the decorations at the outing mentioned above would consist principally of axes. He demanded that the chib take some action in relation to this scandalous proceeding on the part of a paper that ought to know better. He spoke vigorously, so he did, and at the conclusion of his speech told his fellow members that it was up to them to select a committee to call upon the Herald and demand a retraction of the cartoon and the oder tangs.

Joe Macknight moved that a committee be appointed to escort the Viking back to the chair, and while he made it in good faith, being willing to do anything to pour oil on the troubled waters, the club took it as a huge joke and. howled in derision. But Lawson took the chair again of course. The organization could not chase him out of it with a club. The larger portion of the membership then left the meeting, and when all had gone save a few of the' choice Lawson spirits, the motion to appoint a committee to demand a retraction was again put and declared carried.

Putting up a ticket would do no good except to put the Republicans more on the defensive. He thought the Democrats might now follow the exin ample set by the Republicans Demo-cratwhen 1897,'; they induced the although they were then in the majority, to support a munibipal ticket headed by a Democrat.

He bore a message of good cheer to the Utah Democrats, and asserted without the quiver of an eyelash that there was hope for the party in 1904. It was a sort of Clevelandesque address, and was very favorably received by the brethren. When Judge Judd had finished, Hon. William H. King took the floor to address the meeting and advise it against the placing of a ticket in the field this fall. Judge King was very earnest in his remarks. He thought it very unwise. to elect a Democratic ticket at this time with a treasury bankrupt and the old village in a heck of a condition. Jerrold Letcher wanted to put up a ticket and let it go at that He favored giving young Democrats a chance to vote their party ticket if they so desired. Later in the evening, when a sort of executive session was held, it is said that Jerrold was converted to the no ticket idea. ex-offic- io Popular Priced Restaurant Rates. $1 to S3 Per Day Large, Light Sample Rooms. ; 200 rooms With Telephone, Hot and Cold Running Water.
