Show SO MUCH AT STAKE. H Republicans remember that notwithstanding jjH the confusion ttiat has been created in Utah, and H in Salt Lake especially, the question in this state H will turn next Tuesday on whether the state is to be kept under Republican control, or pass over ifl to the Democracy. SH It means a great deal for Utah. Republican 9H policies have added very much to the wealth and fH prominence of Utah. The great bulk of silver that WSM has been mined In Utah has been a bi-product; Hfll it is so still and with cue tariff taken from lead, fHfl that character of mining would practically cease. ' jfll Outside the Silver King we do not know one lead- H silver mine that could be worked at a profit. Of H course, with the tariff taken from wool the sheep 9 and wool industry would sink to where1 it was in jjfl 1894. The live stock interests generally would ifl have their revenues reduced immensely. There 9 would swiftly come a falling off in trade and a jiH stringency In the money market would begin the HW day after election, and soon amount to a practical llM suspension of credit except among the rich. Every HH material interest of the state makes clear that a fj9 Democratic national triumph would be a mighty IwM calamity in Utah. But in case President Roose- JjH velt is elected and Utah elects a Democratic Con- IH gressman and later a Democratic Senator, the in- JlBm lluence of Utah in Washington would suffer and , M she would become a matter of indifference to the H authorities. Moreover, there would be a feeling i ifl of bitterness that a state, naturally Republican, '19 had, through the action of men -who were trusted, i lifl deliberately turned the state over to the party of I fl obstruction. !jfl There is every incentive to inspire Republicans H to work with increasing energy up to the hour the 'jwfl pplls close on Tuesday, to bring out the full vote nfl of the party. una |
