Show MILTON H. WELLINC TALKS IN COUNTY TRIO OF DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS WIND UP CAMPAIGN The local political campaign was practically brought to a close last Thursday evening when a trio of excellent ex-cellent speakers gave a fair crowd of hearers an array of argument in behalf of the national and state Democratic Dem-ocratic tickets. Milton H. Welling, candidate for congressman from this district on the Democratic ticket, Knox Patterson, candidate for district dist-rict attorney on the same ticket, and D. O. Willey, a Salt Lake attorney and brother to the former county attorney of Salt Lake county, were the three speakers and they all semed to make good impressions. A meeting was held in Orangevllle the same night as the local meeting, and all three talked to Huntington and Cleveland houses on Friday night. Mr. Welling also filled a hurry-up call to Ferron, speaking speak-ing there for a few minutes early Friday Fri-day evening. Mr. Willey was the first speaker at the local meeting and took occasion to make known the qualifications of the several candidates on the Democratic Demo-cratic ticket. No man or set of men can be called perfect but he vouched for the honesty and integrity of every candidate on the ticket, and urged his heorers to not permit a party name to dictate in the coming election but to voe for the man. He has known Mr. Bamberger, candidate for governor, for 25 years, and had worked for him and against him in a legal way and knew him for a man of courage who continually had the welfare of the state at heart. He thought it one of the saddest things of the present campaign cam-paign that the matter of race and religion re-ligion had been brought forth as an issue in the fight for governor. Here in Utah where religion and religious freedom has meant so much to the people, it looks especially unfortunate. unfortun-ate. Taking up the presidential situation sit-uation he remarked on the almost parallel lives of the two candidates up to the time Mr. Hughes became governor gov-ernor of New York and Mr. Wilson became be-came governor of New Jersey. Almost Al-most immediately Mr. Hughes began to favor the special interests while Mr. Wilson espoused the needs of the common people. Since becoming president the latter has continued to prove himself a friend to the common people and is being fought by Wall street for this very reason. Though Wilson may have blundered, he has, as Mr. Edison, the great inventer, says, always blundered forward. I Mr. Patterson, speaking, commented comment-ed on the income tax, remarking that it was the biggest thing done in behalf be-half of the over-taxed common people peo-ple that had ever been placed on the statute books. The income tax gets the big man with money to loan and almost nothing else to tax under the old laws. This class now pay their part of the burdens of government I Continued on Last Page MILTON H.

Mr. Wilson had two ways of solving some of the problems before be-fore him; one was to use the pen and the other was to resort to the swrd with Its bloody trail. He used the former and has the thanks of America's Am-erica's millions for his wisdom. Mr. Welling, though speaking but a few minutes on account of the late hour, proved to be a veritable spellbinder spell-binder and was follwed in every word by the audience. He expressed the thought that Mr. Wilson was the most imposing figure in the world today. Four years ago the people of Utah had been led to think that he was a broken down old school master and had stood almost alne against him a-mng a-mng the states, but she will, this year, be with her sister states all glad to do homage to Woodrow Wilson with uor boys all happy at home Instead of fighting In foreign trenches. He felt confident that every man and woman within his hearing would join next Tuesday in commissioning Mr. Wilson has so nobly begun, and wondered if the poor mothers of Europe would not be glad if they could but hank their rulers for writing a note or two and thereby have avoided Europe's carnage. car-nage. Mr. Welling again addressed a local lo-cal audience Saturday afternoon and reiterated some of the accomplishments accomplish-ments as he had spoken but briefly the night before and many were very anxious to hear him. Referring to the candidacy of Mr. Bamberger for governor, he paid a high tribute to the character of Mr. Morris, his opponent, op-ponent, and his remarks were received receiv-ed with hearty applause for his broad-minded broad-minded statement, the demonstration being renewed when he said that Mr. Bamberger was everything that Mr. Morris was and was sure that the latter lat-ter was a man of his word and would keep his promises as to the state going go-ing "dry."
