policy that Jefferson formulated and with equal V confidence in the high destiny and triumph of our institutions and our nation From a great mass of utterances Impossible to exhaust in quotation he has sad aad Wilson McCarty Me Carty assistant county attorney was the closing speaker Mr McCarty said In part Perhaps you are not aware that the Democratic pa par y of Utah is being largely from the youth of the state This Is due to several causes The Democratic Uc party fundamentally appeals to the idealism of youth Young Toung people naturally and instinctively instinctively Instinctively adhere to the political philosophy philosophy philosophy phy of Jefferson Jeferson as contrasted with Hamilton liberalism as compared with conservatism the extending of the government to the many instead of limiting it to the few Republicans Have Failed Another thing which will appeal to the youth of Utah Is the utter failure anure of republicanism in Utah as it has failed in the nation I ask our Republican Republican Republican lican friends in all aU sincerity what appeal appeal appeal ap ap- ap- ap peal can your party make What arguments can you advance which can possible convince enthuse or r inspire the youth of Utah Suppose you tell the young people next fall faU of the splendid conservatism conservatism conservatism conserva conserva- of Senator Smoot the honor he has reflected upon Utah In voting against every progressive measure advanced advanced advanced ad ad- in the last four years Or perhaps you will enrapture the youth I of Zion with the story of how a Republican Republican Republican Re Re- publican legislature and Sand governor has blessed the youth of Utah by giving I them the privilege of that splendid preserver and benefactor of youth the saloon You know I just imagine I i hear some youth from Murray asking his RepUblican father why it is that he is having so much trouble with the tele tele- phone company and whether there isn t sO some e wa way that t the e trouble could be adjusted without so much bitterness bitterness bitter- bitter ness and ald trouble and you know I r can just hear that good father telling that youth what a utilities utilities ties commiss commission on could do if it we had one And I know he will tell him Incidentally in in- in f n i how different Republican legislatures res in the state of Utah have disregarded the will wUl of the people of the state and arid their sacred promise to give us tl this is commission for many so m many i uyI uy ny years I J can also all hear I some youth in Inn n a mining camp cami camp asking his Rep Republican bishop why it Is that the ward has to keep his mother and sisters and I am sure that this good Republican will enthuse that little boy by telling him hint how his father was killed six years ago by being crushed by rotten timbering timberIng timber timber- ing of a certain mine and that after a ahad Jury had awarded a verdict of out of which the attorney was to get fifty percent the case ease was appealed and the tho Supreme court remanded it for a new trial and how that mother eventually let the case drop and be became became became be- be came discouraged and then I am sure j th this s good teacher will tell this youth I what a workmen's compensation act would have done for his mother and sisters and of course in order to V be fair and honest he will tell teU the boy the complete history of this beneficent legislation in the hands of the Republican lican legislature in Utah At 1220 o'clock the the- banquet ended and the guests departed declaring the banquet the most successful ever given by the party in Utah i |
