Heretofore the Democrats have, entered the race in a half hearted way, but this fall they are up and fighting, believing that this is another Wilson year. Ashby Snow fired the first shot at a big Democratic rally at the Salt Lake Theatre last Tuesday evening, and he said much in a very short and snappy speeecli. He flung out a challenge to Senator Smoot that both he and Smoot should resign and give the people an opportunity to select a couple of office. An honest this time we had good men for confession may be good for the soul. Up to been under the impression that Senator Smoot and Ashby Snow were among our best men, but apparently Snow thinks otherwise, for he would like to see the people two good men. pick Snow also charges that Senator Smoot holds his position in the United States Senate by virtue of the church support, and Snow is opposed to any high ecclesiast of the church holding a high political position, and that there should be complete separation of church and state. Snow is anxious for a debate with Senator Smoot. A Republican rally will be held at the Salt Lake Theatre next Tuesday night, when Senator Smoot will be the principal speaker. That the Senator will be at his best is the opinion of all who know him. When Smoot read Snows address in the Tribune the next mornin, his eyes flashed, but the Senator remained calm and had nothing to say, but the volcano may burst next Tuesday night and the voters be treated to another exciting the teresting talks, this will be one campaign which the people would ' like to see lengthened. The personnel of the Republican campaign speakers is made up of many high class men who are good orators and the political fans will no doubt be kept in a jolly mood until the day of the election. ; . i THE LOST BATTALION. The noblest of all principles is love of freedom and country. was flashed from When the story of the Lost Battalion France, and details published, all the world Wondered. For four years the Allied forces had made every effort to take the Argonne woods, where the Germans were entrenched, and had failed to make a dent in it. During the four years of their possession the Germans had built concrete trenches, theaters, mammoth dugouts and had equipped them with electric lighting systems, porcelain bath tubs and many fine pianos. The Germans believed the position impregnable. Ravines, mountains and wooded slopes were interlaced with barbed wire enin such a manner than every inch tanglements and trip-wirof that ground opposed entrance. Every art of the Germans ' was used to make the Argonne invulnerable. After seven days of continuous fighting in the Argonne the 77th Division of the American Expeditionary force has its advance checked. The success of the American operations depended on breaking through the enemy line. In the face of this impasse Major Whittlesey, commanding the First Battalion of the 308 Infantry, received from his commanding officer, Colonel Stacy, an order to attack which contained these words: rally. The general says you are to advance behind the barrage reThe Republicans will hold another rally at the Theatre In all the history of war no batallion was gardless of losses.
