Show THEIR TOUR TRIUMPH Journey of Roberts Caine and Chambers Througfl Summit and Wasatch f BOMBARDED BY FLOWERS Heber City Could Not Do Enough for Democracys Champions I Greatest ZVIeetinsrs of the Campaign in Park City Holier and Coal ville Davis County Turns Out I For Roberts Caine and Young Reception of IVclls nod Allen in Ktchttcld Republican Nominees in Rich i 1 John T Caine B H Roberts and 11 C Chambers who have just concluded con-cluded a whirlwind triumphal tour through Summit and Wasatch counties returned to the city yesterday morning After a brief visit to Democratic head I qu uters Messrs Caine and Roberts at once started north again for the purpose i I pur-pose of holding several meetings at Roberts home in Davis county Both 1 gentlemen are naturally very much fatigued from their incessant travel and frequent meetings but the sort of welcome they everywhere receive keeps them un and makes them feel like veritable giants refreshed with new wine A correspondent of The Herald who made the tour with the three Democrats Demo-crats furnishes the following interest I ins account of the great tour In company with Messrs Caine llob us and Chambers and a glee club consisting of Pptr Whitney Patrick and Peterson we left Salt Lake Monday Mon-day morning lor Park City Of our wonderful meeting at that place echoes I of which sounded all over Summit and Wasatch counties 1 have already written I writ-ten you The Kamas meeting which I preceded it was scarcely less notable the size of the two places considered > and Democrats t lit re are hopeful of making decided gains as a result of the I visit It was reserved for Hebe City however to cap the climax of all the i ovations Caine and Roberts say that the enthusiasm and crowds of their northern tour heavy as both were were quite dscounted by the affair at Heber I and later that at Coalville The people 1 < f those two places seemed to have i entered into a contest to see which could extend the most royal welcome to the future governor congressman and state senator Mr Chambers surprised everyone r with his sound terse businesslike ViA speeches and his reception from the I I audiences everywhere was just as hearty as that accorded the other I I nominees In the Coalville meeting when Mr Caine safd he thought Summit Sum-mit c unty owed enough to Mr Chambers Cham-bers to cause Republicans to vote for him without any regard to party affiliations affilia-tions a voice in the crowd shouted S Heres one that will at which a perfect pandemonium of cheers broke I loose The Coalville committee state i that their canvass shows Mr Chambers Cham-bers will run 50 to GO ahead of his I ticket in that precinct alone In Elkhorn Elk-horn the samp county where there I are 44 votes the canvass shows 34 Democrats 10 Republicans and 41 votes J for R C Chambers Wasatclu county I is safely Democratic by 150 votes and if Park City does only half her duty Mr Chambers will have a walk oer I to the state senate Of course there is some danger from the enemys boo < sr die In every town that we visited J it was freely stated that Mr Reams men were out well loaded and hunting for voters The committees everywhere are on the alert however and the instant any attempts to in ilucnce voters by the Trumbo methods appear Mr Kearns lieutenants will hear of it sharply and suddenly The tidier City Ovation But as to Heber city The outpouring outpour-Ing here called to mind nothing so much as the old days when President Young used to tour the territory and the people of the various towns suspended sus-pended business for the day and flocked out on the road to greet him Three miles outside of Heber drawn up into in-to lines was a procession which so affected Caine and Roberts that they could hardly express themselves and as j for Mr Chambers who until then had had no such evidence of the way they greet their popular candidates in these townshe has not yet gotten over wondering about it A brass hand fifty young men and women on horseback horse-back with red white and blue sashes and their steeds gaily com I parlsoned as many more boys on horseback and exactly seventyeight I carriages buggies and wagons with I bannerbearers flagbearers and mot I tobearers without number one being a huge float This is a Democratic Year made up the gathering As the nominees carriages passed between the lines the band struck up and three mighty cheers each were given for Caine Roberts and Chambers Cham-bers Then the young ladies and gentlemen gen-tlemen galloped beside the carriages as an escort all the others falling in behind and the long procession dashed Into the city where it was i cheered again and again by the people peo-ple assembled in the streets It is worth noting here that the Republican procession in honor of Messrs Wells Cannon and Allen consisted of just seventeen carriages notwithstanding the fact that the local committee offered of-fered a prize to the precinct sending the largest delegation prize by the way never awarded The Democrats merely sent out a simple invitation to citizens to assemble and welcome Caine Roberts and Chambers The big procession massed in front of the Democratic headquarters and a few words were uttered by Mr Caine and the county nomL e to the lower house Hon J C Murdock a stalwart of stalwart stal-wart Democrats and an immensely popular man The Democratic quar lJl tette sang Democracys Big Four I which was so wildly applauded that I they had to reapper Then most ot 1 I the procession accompanied the party three miles distant to Midway where the capacJotts1iall l of the placewould that it could have been transported to Heber and Coalville was crammed at 2 oclock At night it teemed as though all Heber City struggled to gain access to the hall which could have been filled three times over After that meetingwhich did not end till 1130the party drove at once back to Park City a distance of fourteen four-teen miles arriving at 2 am Atl 6 oclock they were again out of their beds en route by train to Wanship where a good meeting was held at 10 oclock They had started for Coal yule at 1 oclock hoping to obtain some much needed rest before the I night meeting there when a delegation delega-tion from Iloytsville and another from I Echo met them saying that big I crowds were assembled at both places in the hope that the candidates would be able to address them that afternoon It was impossible to oblige both so I word was sent the Echo people to come over to Coalville a distance of six miles at night I and a hurried drive was made to Hoytsville where the hall was gaily decorated and a full house assembled at 2 oclock A two hours meeting was held thereAt there-At Conlvillc Then Coalville was reached in a hurry Here as soon as night fell a beautiful scene was witnessed Three huge bonfires were built in the main street a torchlight procession was formed one feature being twenty youngmen with shotguns who rent the air with frequent volleys and another an-other being a triumphal car with fourteen I four-teen young ladies in white representing represent-ing the thirteen original states with the weomer Utah in the center a charctpr charmingly represented by Miss Cluff Cluffs hall was packed and jammed to literal suffocation one lady fainting from the heat and the noise was so great around the doors whore crowds almost fought to gain a sight of the speakers that it was some time before the meeting could proceed At 11 oclock the meeting ad journed and the wearied speakers and singers were driven to Echo whereat where-at midnight they boarded the west I bound flyer for home I Holier Grout Speeches I Of the speeches it is only necessary l I to say that Roberts literally electrified fc his audiences in every one of the eight I meetings heid in the three days He I has no set speech his addresses dif j i fering according to the character of jhis i h audiences But his four great pointshard times the tariff silver and j the issue of bondsare admir ably worked up and fortified with unassailable I un-assailable authorities Only one theme does he bring forward with little or I no deviation at each meeting and this I is the most thrilling part of his speech I I In calm earnest language he tells of the events of the priesthood meeting I No names are quoted his words are1 J temperate and his allusions to his I church superiors respectful He con cedes their right to criticise him and Moses Thatcher if they have done any thing deserving of criticism but he protests against the use petty poli ticians are making of the occurrence and the infamy of those who whisper about that Bro Thatcher and Bro Roberts are out of favor with the church authorities and hence should he defeated He makes indignant al lusion to Prank Cannon and his grapevine wire warnings says he wants no election by such means and appeals to his friends to see that if he Is not to be benefited by messages from this I mysterious source he is not damaged by them Everywhere the I most thunderous I responses tell of the feeling of the people on this subject I made it a special point to inquire at I every place visited what effect the utterances I of President Joseph F smith had had and without exception was told that the Republicans had hitherto C who been depressed by the out look had perked up wonderfully in thEir feelings since conference and that Democrats were correspondingly anxious In Midway when Roberts spoke of the underhand way Republi cans had used the occurrence against Thatcher and himself in Logan half a dozen men jumped up in the audience and shouted Theyre doing the same thing here Requests were left with the committee in every place to for ward affidavits immediately if any such attempts to influence voters were detected Caines Broad Views Mr Caine generally speaks briefly in a dignified nonpartisan way as to his views on public questions and indi cates the policy he should pursue if elected His only manifestations of warmth are when he hears that some Republican stumper has attempted to connect his name with ballot box stuffing and his denunciations of such methods are of the most excoriating fashion He leaves the impression everywhere that he would make the ideal governor Mr Chambers usually made a ten or fifteen minutes talk in a plain con versa Uonal way mostly devoted to county issues he tells the people he did not seek the nomination would not have accepted had he been consulted but now that he was nominated he wanted the peoples votes and he pro posed to be elected He said he had never bought a vote and never would had never coerced a man in his em ploy and never would neither had he put men on his companys pay rolls up to November 5 to work in his interests allusions which seemed to strike home with the audiences in Summit county Roberts ami the Women One of the amazing things noticeable in this campaign is the way Roberts stands with the ladies They vie with the men in paying him attention ap plauding him and crowding around him after the meetings to shake his hand He wins them completely by frankly telling them he was against giving them the franchise but now that they are in the arena he bids them welcome but he wants them to work He makes a beautiful perora tion on the influence of woman and concludes with a highly humorous ap peal to Democratic wives and sweet hearts who have Republican husbands and lovers which never fails to ting down the house In Heber City a Republican Re-publican called out in the audience that they proposed to defeat Allen a dozen or fifteen other Republicans attempted to make a demonstration at this when with one accord as if by preconcerted action a great crowd of girls on the stage rose and with n shout of Roberts Rob-erts aimed a cloud of boquets at his head The house was In an uproar of applause at once and not a Repub lican was again heard from during the meeting It could not have been more effectively and prettily arranged had it been rehearsed Roberts was visibly confused for a moment and Mr Caine sprang to his relief by helping him pickup pick-up the flowers Roberts then said he had been warned in the constitutional convention that the women of Utah would bury him but he never looked to be buried in < flowers at which there was more laughter and applause One of Roberts happiest hits was at I Heber when he said Democrats favored favor-ed home industry as much as Republicans I Re-publicans did More he exclaimed i 4Ifor we believe in applying the principle I prin-ciple even to our United States sena torsA A humorous incident took place at Hoytsville Messrs Snyder and Thompson the Republican judicial candidates are roaming the county over attempted to hold meetings but having but poor success They were billed to speak in Upton but no one coming to hear them they wandered over to Hoytsville and walked into the Democratic meeting just as the quar tette were singing the verse in The Democracys Big Four Theres Snyder Thompson Ferguson O shade Blackstone weep Theres Bishop Bartch and Miner too O Kent how canst thou sleep To 4h < s remark that the two Repub l Bean listeners did not seem to appreciate appre-ciate the allusion to Blackstone one I of the singers said they probably didnt Know who he was The quartette made a great success on the tour and in the three days sang fifty times encores I and double encores being the rule i Judge Pyper was almost done out I by the time Coalville had been reached I Too much praise cannot be given the Messrs Murdock Buys the Cline brothers and others of the live Wa satch county committee who are handling hand-ling the fight there the same can be said of Mr Sweeney Mr Kimball Mr Boyden Mr Cluff Mr Callis and the others of the Summit county committee commit-tee Roberts the Second Mr Callis of Coalville by the way has been nominated by the Summit county committee to run for the lower house in place of Mr Allen of Park City who resigned Mr Callis presided pre-sided over the Coalville meeting and the happy way he did it shows that his nickname Roberts the second is not misplaced He will do the Summit Sum-mit county Democracy proud if elected MONSTER KAMA AT FARM1NGTON All Davis County Welcomed the I Democratic Heavy Weights Special to The Herald I FARMINGTON Oct 17A11 Davis I county welcomed the Democratic leaders lead-ers tonight From various points in the county a large audience gathered and crowded the hall to its capacity The band was out in honor of the candidates candi-dates The greatest enthusiasm prevailed pre-vailed I John T Caine spoke on approaching statehood congratulating the people i that they had been admitted under I Democratic rule after being refused admission under Republican rule He also outlined his policy if he should be elected governor Richard W Young spoke on the son one question that had recently arisen in Utah He denied that this was a grand stand play of Judge Powers explaining the matters that had led up to the crisis He said the convention was a necessity under the circumstances circum-stances B H Roberts who was greeted with cheers as the great favorite son of Davis county spoke on the tariff and silver and also on the necessity of accepting ac-cepting in good faith the declaration in the constitution that church and state shall be forever separate in Utah Roberts and Caine will go to Weber county tomorrow stumping the county tomorrow and Saturday ending at the great celebration in Ogden on Saturday evening If f I ELEVEATH VAlID RALLY Most Enthusiastic Meeting Ilelil Sinoc the Diiisioii The Democratic rally held at the Eleventh ward meeting house last I evening was not alone well attended J but it was hummer W J Hamm presided He announced a song by the B H Roberts Glee club The song was entitled Democracys Big Four and provoked unbounded enthusiasm The club was recalled and then sang Bring Out the Good Old Mileage Book It is needless to say that the song brought down the house tt was appropriate in every way I By this time the house was packed I standing room was at a premium and a great crowd was standing outside I unable to gain entrance J Mayor Baskin was the first speaker i He said I came here this evening I I not so much for the purpose of making I a speech as to be instructed by the eminent speakers who will follow me I Governor West and Hon Parley Williams Wil-liams It is through the ballot box that you make the laws of your coun tiny and you should vote intelligently and with a view of best subserving the interests of the country as a whole I notice that our Republican friends are talking a great deal about tariff Now I the question does not concern us here locally as much as it does nationally then it becomes of vital importance I He then went on in a clear and concise con-cise manner to deal with tariff and its complications and characterized the I McKinley bill as the collossal fraud of the nineteenth century The richest section of country under the sun is the Mississippi valley and I the western country ranks well up with it and still those sections are borrowers borrow-ers of money Farms are heavily mortgaged in the productive Mississippi Missis-sippi valley We here must borrow money for our improvements Where do we borrow it We go for it to the barren New England states They are I now the leaders The McKinley bill I was a monstrosity Wilson bill is equal to our needs and now there is I ample evidence of the country prosper ing under its provisions i The term common people so generally gen-erally used does not mean any lack of ability but is used to designate the beneficiary from the aristocracy From the common people has come those revolutions rev-olutions that have done so much for the worldfrom the common people I have come all the great inventions of the age that have done so imuch for mens advancement and civilization As to the crime of 1873 he was reminded re-minded of the olden event when Christ I went up into the temple and finding I there the money changers plying their trade scourged them so as to make them flee In fear and trembling The moneyed people were behind the de monetization of silver The measure was put through in their favor The common people are reaping the benefit of such gigantic steal The copper plant fizzle was shown up all Its grotesqueness gro-tesqueness and some facts laid bare that were corkers in themselves Actions Ac-tions of certain councilmen that are now up for electionin the Fifth precinct pre-cinct were good ones and elicited heavy f applause I Governor West Governor West then took the floor and agreed with the remarks of the mayor The hardy pioneers who camo into this valley many years ago brought with them the American flag and planting that glorious emblem upon up-on Ensign peak they looked forward down through the long vista of years when this should be a great state Those people now have a great duty to perform and they should go about it carefully and with forethought at every step They should not be led by clamor by prejudice by selfish appeal but should calmly disown measures that are for their < own interests The Democratic party takes the opposite view from the Republican i e a people peo-ple cannot be made prosperous and happy by taxation Only so much maybe may-be taken from the peoples labor as will administer economically the afCaIrs of government The Republicans will cite you to the fact that under their rule Yanderbilts and Carnegies sprung up and wflh fabulous wealth are monuments of thrift and industry all owing to Republican Re-publican method This is in no way true Such great individual wealth has been wrung from the people and the latter now suffer a great wrong inconsequence in-consequence The bounty question was handled by the governor in a way that will tax opponents to get around Republicans Re-publicans who were promising bounty measures were miking such promises as could not be redeemed Inasmuch as any laws passed in controvention of the constitution could not stand The legislature leg-islature cannot give bounty if they would Applause In the fundamental fundamen-tal laws as adopted in the constitution constitu-tion you have good Democratic doctrine doc-trine in all concerning bounty propositions prop-ositions Applause The governor then paid fitting tribute to the niggard ly policy of the last legislature showing show-ing where they signally failed to appropriate ap-propriate sufficient funds for the university uni-versity state reform school insane asylum and other public institutions In closing his pointed remarks a great wave of applause rolled up Robert Morris nominee for the council coun-cil was then introduced and made a short and telling address He handled things without gloves ai E Muircr I M E Mulvey was then introduced and made a most excellent > eech He pledged himself if elected to the council coun-cil to so govern himself in all his actions I ac-tions within that body as though he was acting in his own private affairs All that was necessary for members of the city council to do was to exercise exer-cise good sound judgment in all measures meas-ures coming before them for consideration consider-ation and all would go well in coun cilmanic grooves He believed that the only mistake the Democrats made was I in putting him on the ticket From the cheers given him the people didnt think there was any mistake male Mulvey will be a winner Dr Faust then spoke briefly and let go a few sledge hammer blows on present vital issues of the day He closed up the evenings work in some humorous and mirth provoking stories that struck home and advised the voters vo-ters of the Fifth precinct to come up smiling on election day and elect good men and true who would not be of the looting type The chair announced at the close that he had received a communication to the effect that the Union Pacific would make a rate of one fare for the round trip to Ogden next Saturday evening and that the drum corps would accompaiy the people going upon up-on that train It would be a great crowd from here and all should turnout turn-out for the occasion This is a Democratic year and the rally last night proved it It was observed ob-served that the ladies were there in full force and owing to that men who could not gain entrance stood willing ly without and drank in the apt words I of Democratic doctrine enunciated so clearly from within It was a great meeting and there will be others there just like it UP ix ARMS ix SEVIER I Democrats Are malting a Fight to Win This Fall I RldHFTBLD Oct 16Politics are at I white heat Democrats are determined and Republicans are on the run It is all Judge Powers fault Joseph F Smith didnt know it was loaded and the Democrats are responsible for the i great excitement and the cause of the trouble Republicans say the Demo orats are defeated and are kicking over the traces But a certain cause produced I pro-duced a certain effect But what produced pro-duced the cause A Democratic year On Sunday and Monday our little burg was all agog over the news About sundown on Monday teams came in from the surrounding settlements settle-ments with people who wanted to hear the big three But one of them was missing Frank did not make his appearance ap-pearance In his stead was an unknown un-known from Salt Lake named Bar low Ferguson We afterwards learned he was sent here because he was nominated nom-inated for district judge in Salt Lake A brass band went out and serenaded the town for a while and then the hall was only comfortably filled half of the audience coming to hear the Glee club which had been introduced in Sunday meeting by Bishop Brandley the day before Barlow Ferguson said vcte the Republican Re-publican ticket if you do not want to block the wheels of legislation He said George Washington signed the first tariff bill and then branched off forgot that the McKinley bill admitted admit-ted free sugar and the Wilson bill put a revenue tariff on it and spoke of Americans sending their money to China to buy sugar made with cheap labor He also made some other breaks When Heber M Wells was introduced introduc-ed those on the stage cheered him The audience was taken back by his boyIsh boy-ish appearance We were reminded of that saying You would scarce expect one of my age To speak in public on the stage Then he told us something we had found out before saying he was no stump speaker After wandering around awhile he said that if the people peo-ple wanted a stump speaker for governor gov-ernor they should not vote for him The Glee club sang and received an encore It had most of the applause Allen said that all the prosperity of the last thirty years had come from the Republicans the contrary from the Democrats He said all the fundamental fundamen-tal principles had come from the Republicans Re-publicans and none from the Democrats Demo-crats He said Democrats were wise in saying the issue was on men not principles for the Democrats have no principles He said a vote for Democrats Demo-crats was a vote against silver That is news in the face of the action taken in various states He ended by saying say-ing his party had stood against Democratic Demo-cratic bullets and that the Democrats had fought against the Union In IlicU County LAICETOWN Rich Co Oct 16 Barnes Hart and Evans visited all the precincts of northern Rich county except ex-cept Pound Valley late last week and poured forth their Democracy pure and simple interspersing it with a due proportion of jokes a la Evans and in I no sense weakened the great cause I The enemy held a county convention Ion I-on Monday at Randolph and after i forth mouse 1 much effort brought a or rather two of them so to speak to be devoured unceremoniously by the Ilion I-lion of Democracy That is to say they selected their everpresent candidate candi-date Wesley A Walton of Woodruff Wood-ruff as nominee for the state house of representatives and Joseph Hodges of Laketown as county superintendent of schools Both these gentlemen are good citizens citi-zens estimable In many ways but the former if he has a faultand to hear f the Republicans tell it their nominees are everywhere and always blameless blame-less it is that he never protrudes himself him-self upon the public stays very close to home so much so that the common people never hear of him except at convention times We remarked on the morning of the convention that should it so occur that a Republican should be our representative represen-tative no Republican in the county would do Rich county better service than George Pope of Garden Citya good honest working manbut ha doesnt appear to wear the right cloth Continued on Page 6 iTHEI TOUR I OF TRIIIPIIS TRIMPH I Continued from Page 5 I As to our very young friend the nominee for the county superintendents I superinten-dents office the only faults that befall him in this regard would be incapacity I incapa-city and inexperience i Had the convention named his esteemed es-teemed but politically misguided father Nathaniel r Hodges our city miller Rich county could at least have consoled itself that if the Republicans prevailed there would have been a scholarly and wellread and traveled gentleman to preside over its educational educa-tional interests But the nominee himself feels that the party has chosen cho-sen a truly incompetent nominee for the office As the Republicans are ever full of charity it is fair to presume pre-sume they chose this candidate so that all semblance of obstruction should be removed from the path of Mr Larsen the Democratic nominee I this isnt a Democratic year it will not be because be-cause the Republicans havent put a thrice defeated and inexperienced candidate can-didate in the field They surely have better timber As to OnnR ling Kcniurlcs SUGAR HOUSE Oct 17I notice a few Republicans rushing into print for the purpose of upholding Joseph F Smiths recent speech in the priesthood meeting held Monday October 7 They claim he did not mean anything he said should be construed politically That is just where all this trouble arises Some of these same apologists and unscrupulous Republicans constiu it that way I was present at the morning services held in the tabernacle taberna-cle on Sunday October 6 when Joseph F Smith spoke on home industries In the course of his remarks he told fan f-an old Mormon lady whom he said he could nOt call a Latterday Saint because she had said that she would not buy Lehi sugar because fhe fancied fan-cied she could taste ths beets in it Further on in his remarks he said he was glad to say that in this territory there was a certain class of people that believed in supporting home industries but he was very sorry to say that there was another class that did not believe in supporting home industries Hence the people were left to conjecture who were the two classes The Republicans seized this opportunity and a few minutes min-utes after the services ended a general discussion took place both inside and outside the tabernacle Republicans claiming that Joseph F Smiths remarks re-marks meant that Democrats were against home industries and Republicans cans in favor of them This illustrates how the untimely remarks re-marks of Joseph F Smith at the religious re-ligious meeting were productive of no good because they caused dissension among the people that had traveled hundreds of miles to attend a religious gathering at which all political feeling feel-ing should be laid aside Another thing the people of Utah area are-a unit on the question of supporting home industries The only difference Is that the Democrats dont believe in crippling the other institutions of the territory or taxing the teriory I people to death In order to make capitalists patriotic enough to invest their money in home Industry but when it comes to buying home goods the Democratic neonle of Utah are the peers of any Instead of scolding the people in conference assembled on this home industry question ques-tion if Joseph F Smith really means to benefit the territory and cot make political capital he should turn his attention to our merchants A great many of them are Republicans by the way He should urge upon them the necessity of carrying lyime goods and he can rest assured hI people will buy them in preference to others The Democrats of Sugar House are well pleased with the stand taken by the Democratic leaders in the present crisis and while most of us belong to the Mormon church we claim the right to be as free as the air we breathe politically and will support our political leaders in anything they may do in order that no church influence infu ence shall be used in the state NH Sciiiiilinuviaiii it Crescent A very successful meeting was held on Wednesday evening at Crescent school house in this county by the Scandinavians A large number of persons attended C A Carlauist compared com-pared the two tickets and showed that the Democratic ticket
