Murdoch doch dOth and to meet so many good citizens of the state of oC Utah I have hae always said Hid that the Scandinavians are a progressive prosperous people and that they have done a great deal for the state But they have shown their work not alone in Utah but In Nevada Colorado Califor California nia JJ ia Idaho and any other place where they thy will be found to be the leading citi citizen zen zeng doing their share Bhare pr r more than their share In the development of the out outskirts outskirts outskirts skirts And another feature about the Scan Scandinavians ScandInavians Scandinavians Is that you will generally find them In the Republican Party And right there they show their good Judgment We have a condition here of which you vou are all aware Where one class or part art of on class claN of people are always alwag fighting the other and It Has done much Injury to the state It has kept capital away The unsettled condition which confronts Investors is most harmful to the state A majority of at the people are pretty near of the unanimous opinion that this Is IB harmful and that we must all work for the Interest and advancement at f this great groat state of ours We may not have accomplished this object In the last few years but the time Is coming coining when we will be able to accomplish what we W hope for or We must have peace in Utah and all work together for the good of the state Men may try to keep that day away awa may throw up barriers which will make this condition slower In coming may ma postpone the tIle happy day by calumny and abuse But it is coming as sure as w Wi ware ware are here h re tonight I want to tt see it aU ended and I will put forth my best ef et efforts efforts forts torts to see this accomplished Their Last Stand StandI I had hoped that It would have been accomplished before this time but It is ismy Ism Ismy my m firm belief that this is one of the last stands of jt our friends on the other side who are doing much to Injure Salt Lake They see lt coming on and are certain that it will not be long before their party must cease The best of them want to get it settled and have us divide on good old party part lines I will make this one of the great efforts of my administration To bring peace to Utah I dont care what the claims of the theA American A party are In regard to the im improvements Improvements made since they have hae been in power I tell teIl you ou we have been losing money If It the Republican party had been bein beinIn in power we would have hae had many more miles of f sidewalk more miles of sewer more miles of water mains more paved streets There is no power on earth which can or shall stay the progress of this city But this fight Is hurting the city and the state If It we could only lay aside the thoughts of strife strite and all work together people eople would come from all other ather states and help build up what she he of right should be beThe beThe beThe The claims of the fusion Democrats during this campaign have been that the Republican party had bad refused to bring about a combination I wish to togo too togo go o on record as emphatically denying this And AndI 1 believe there is no man manIn manIn manin In Salt Lake Lal better able than I 1 to make a denial of those charges For I have worked hard much of the time with Senator Sutherland and other leaders of the Republican party We endeavored end endeavored av ored orad in every possible way to effect a combination with which would be Identified the best people of ot the city who are seeking peace regardless of at sect or creed But In the language of the street i things thing got balled up and It was not accomplished I wish to deny the I claims In an advertisement In the News tonight that the Republican party re refused refused refused fused to fuse You have the Republican ticket a fusion ticket as aa well welI And when we weare weare weare are talking about fusion just look back a few tow years ear It was by the aid Id Idof of Republican votes that Judge Bas Baa Bascom Bascom com corn a Democrat was elected mayor It was by Republican votes that Mr Clark was elected mayor another Dem Democrat Democrat Democrat And It was by Republican votes that Richard P Morris a n Democrat was elected mayor So that when they tell you that the Republicans have re refused refused refused fused to join a fusion movement In the past history does not bear them out There Is no question but that Mr Murdoch will handle the affairs of Salt Lake In an in honest fair conscientious manner mannery While he was In tn the council there was never a vote which he ho reg regIstered regIstered which was not for tor honesty and fairness And there Is no man in the council who has ba shown the ability of ot Me M 11 Murdoch to handle the affairs of the city eity Chairman Anderson introduced James JamesD D Murdoch as our next mayor which was greeted with vociferous applause Mr Murdoch l slid he lie was not sure just what Axel St Steele ele was talking about early In the evening but It sounded as asif asIf asIf if he was saying Well We II give the American party hell tomorrow He told of the grafting In the waterworks the Incident regarding the carload of lead which was in the Salt SaIt Lake yards before the requisition for it came to the council and of the water meter steal which he spiked while In Inthe inthe Inthe the council Aly My idea of city government con continued continued continued Mr Murdoch is and always has been een that it should be conducted as nearly as a s possible along the samo same lines that a 1 successful business man would conduct his private business I have always held that a successful bus business busIness iness mess man would be a man who could be trusted with the running of a city government and I still believe It But there are men in the city council who are grafters of the first water and they are there now They The have haye their own interests to serve that Is all If It turns out tomorrow night that I have been elected mayor of Salt Lake LakeI I 1 will give the business of this office my very best attention and my very best efforts and with a council elected to me I will try to the best of my ability ahl II t to bring about the very best results for tor the next two years ears And Jf t any ony of this smart work is tried am mayor I will call out quick Senator Sutherland spoke for tor only a short time Ho He declared the state statements statements statements ments of the American party leaders that the city had been pushed forward solely through their efforts was groundless He pointed to the building of the Salt Lake route the opening of the mines more than over before the building of smelters at Gar Garfield Garfield Garfield field Bingham Junction and and wondered if It the American party would claim that these were started through their being In power He said rather that these had come and that In bringing thousands to work here they had pushed the city forward He declared Salt Lake would grow not because of lf the American party but In spite of it Senator Sutherland talked along the same game line as Governor Spry for peace and harmony in Utah and declared that the only way to get peace was to get rid of the American party varty Dont vote the Democratic ticket t for It cannot win The American party should not win and If you vote the Re Republican Republican Republican publican ticket it can and should win he declared The rally closed with the singing sinking of America and then the floor was cleared for dancing |
