There U an awakinlng and It only ncedH a great American victory heralded to tho world to make of Salt I-ake the great metropolis metropo-lis of the West Making History Today. Judge a N" berry answered the question ques-tion why the American party was made up from nil parlh-M. There whs only one answer to this question, and that was thai tho Americana love their principles, their country and liberties h.-uer than political parties. Th American party i making history for ct.ih in th pn m h:iit and a victory In Salt Laki means eventually victories in the county and State. Both the old parlies .ire hull;, frightened The Republican elephant anil Dei iratlc mule both are trembling for their lives al the whip Ezra Thompson holds In his hand. Why Parties Are Fighting. There are reasons for the Republicans fiKhtintf hard; the) have the Senatorial Apostle to keep In the Senate. An American Ameri-can party victory will b- the most eloquent elo-quent argument to the Senate that he is In bad odor among the people of this Htal The j. mux rat - should li;tht haul tor, like the old colored man who dived into the river to rescue the drowning In.;, In order lo ne the bnit In the DO) -pocket; tho Democratic party must save th, li bait or ther.- will not be any forth. for-th. o- fishincr for them About the Knockers. The Judge derided th term "knockers." inr in the face of all the Improvement that have lieen made by th American party people, can It he honestly safd that thise men are trying to drag Salt Ulce down? The Moimtms built the Temple, but It took (hem forty years to do thut. They built a great many horiros with three or fotir front doors, but n to the Gentile brain and money thnt Sail Lake owes toda what it Is a.s a city. The knockers gave to Utah Statehood, for the Mormons, wlihoul the assistance )f the Gentiles, would never have se-. se-. UTCd this boon Truths From Other Cities. A. T. San ford told of Judge Taffs denunciation de-nunciation of the Republican ring in Cincinnati, Cin-cinnati, auylug he would not ote the Ke- publican ticket th re as long us the rlnK was In power. Ellhu Root also denounced the Republican ring. In Rhllad Iphla. and Mr Banford felt safe in venturing tho Opinion that were these two gentlemen In Sait Lake loduy they both would jp-port jp-port tho Aim ilean party. There Is no fjuestlon but what those In the AmerlCCUl party arc fully Justllled for being there. Public Ownership No Issue Here. In nni-d all gnat cities the inula question ques-tion upon which elections turn today la nnunlclpp-1 ownership and control of public pub-lic utilities. This cannot be an Issue In Salt Lake, I ausc the churt h controls tie slrei t car and IIkIiIIiik syetems. The church let a part of the salt and sugr trusts, not for the purpose of reducing tl a prices of these articles, but to In-eiease In-eiease the tlthlnft fjnds of that Institution Institu-tion Tho speaker showed tip the record of Councilman Hewlett, how he bad al-w.ivs al-w.ivs voted with the church on all questions ques-tions touching that commercial Institution, Institu-tion, end li- urged the voters nf the Kirsi ward to stand by Mm tin nnd ("rubtree for Council Franchise Business Gone Into. The franchise matter was gone Into thoroughly, and tin speaker showed why tin Eastern capital ever ventures on a Salt Lake deal, outside of mining:, unless thi church Is mixed up In it tn some manner. Mr. Sanford wtts Riven the closest attention and. as were nil the speakers, roundly applauded several times during, his, remarks. Weber Arouses Audience. A J. Weber was the lust speaker, and the Judge aucceeded in arousing his audi' ence to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, as he usually dors He stated that on cumlng to the mooting In- pasat d by a political po-litical transparency Which bore the words, "Smash the Knockers" lie read a list of tlilrtv or more prominent Gentiles Gen-tiles and members of the American party who hnve done things In Salt Lake and in whom the city owes Ita present condition condi-tion of advain.enn nl from a country town Th- GentlU of the city comprise at least 80 per cent of the popl&tlon of the taxpayers, of whom fio per cent were mi mbers of tho American party, and he saw no reason why any man or woman ihould blush to belong to such a party. Tribute to Labor. Mr. Weber paid a splendid tribute to tin .lulioritiR man. and to dial great class of people called the "common people." He (looted Abraham Lincoln, who said God must love the common people b. cause he made so many of them. The speaker eloquently elo-quently pictured '' great change in the citv after the American uurty victory will be an invitation to the world for the population, money and prosperity to hasten into Sail Luke and L'Uih. |
