Show TRUTH. cd the country over, that when the pure and immaculate Frank J. Cannon had joined the American party it would be taken as evidence that an insurrection was onf against the alleged political interference of the church leaders. They knew that four years ago at the Democratic state convention in this city Mr. Cannon had maligned and traduced the character and he patriotism of that grand statesman, and most loveable character, William McKinley. Go, my fellow citizens, to the files of any Salt Lake paper, in its next issue after that speech was made and read there those burning and shameful words, uttered by the only man in all the borders of this proud young state, capable of so prostituting his manhood and his oratorical ability as to utter them. It is the avowed clean-soule- pure-hearte- d, d, purpose to overturn the people and substitute an empire, with William McKinley as emperor, were his words. Yet in one year from the time he uttered those false and slanderous words, be it said to the honor of the delegates in that convention, who unthinkingly shouted themselves hoarse in applause of that disreputable utterance, they, in common with all the other citizens of all parties in this young commonwealth, except perhaps the unscrupuluous demagogue who uttered the slander, stood with bowed heads and mute, quivering lips, with sorrow-burdene- d hearts and eyes filled the when with tears lightening flashed the awful news, The President is dead. A Great Trapeze Performer. These American party leaders went and hunted up that man, a man who in eight years has belonged to four different parties, and who is the greatest political trapeze performer of the age they hunted up that man and' arranged with him to make his spectacular appearance in their late convention and become installed as the mouthpiece and spokesman of the pure and upright patriots composing . the rank and file of their new party, and there he stood and delivered that; fiery speech, denouncing in bitterness and malice the honest, able and upright Roosevelt and unblushingly uttering those infamous falsehoods about the national Republican committee making a deal with the Mormon hierarchy for the delivery of Utahs elec toral vote to the Republican candidate. It was no more trouble for him Judge Botkin then adduced other facts and circumstances in proof of the conspiracy charged, to take Utah out of the Republican column, to elect a Democrat to the house of representatives, to elect a governor who would appoint a Democrat to fill a possible vacancy in the United States senate, and to elect a legislature that would elect a Democrat to succeed Senator Kearns in the senate. The speaker recited many incidents well known, to the people of Salt Lake City, all bearing upon the great question at issue, and then he said: Fellow citizens of the American party, to you I submit this question and I ask for it your candid and delib- erate consideration and then I submit to you this proposition, that the facts and circumstances as I have recited them here tonight and which you all know to be true make a stronger case against Tom Kearns and the leaders of this new party than the state of Utah made against the late Peter which delivered him over to the firing squad of the executioner. Every point of Judge Botkins speech was applauded long and vociferously by the great audience that hung upon his words. It was an audience worthy of the distinguished speaker who addressed it and the speech throughout was worthy of the distinguished audience gathered there. Never before in Utah history did our people enjoy to the fullest such a dignified, logical and deserved roast of its most unscrupulous demagogues, as was handed out to them by Judge Botkin on this occasion.
