Show I DECLARES PLOTTERS IN BOURBON I PARTY SHOULD BE OUSTED I Newton Farr, Lifelong Democrat, Casti" I gates "Selfappointed Leaders," 1. Wants Reorganization I salt Lake, 0ct" 1, Castigating I the leaders of tho Democratic party I n Utah In no uncertain language I Newton Farr, a Hfo long Democrat I of Weber and Salt Lake counties, I yesterday said lio was "a man with-I with-I out a party" nnd announced that ho I could not conscientiously support tho I Democratic ticket. Mr. Farr, " who I has been ono of tho strongest work-, I ers of tho Democratic party has sov-I sov-I ered his connection with tho present I organization of Utah Domocrats and I Insists that tho "rascals In tho par-H par-H ty" should bo turned put and a re-I re-I organization of Democratic affairs I take place. Ho attacked W. II. Wal-I Wal-I lace, s! It. Thurman and other lead-I lead-I ers "ho, against tho wishes of tho I rank and file of tho Democratic par? H ty, he said, caused a fusion to bo I brought about. I Not for Revenue Only H "1 am a Democrat and I am not I a Democrat for revenue- only," said, I Mr. Farr. My principles of Democ-I Democ-I racy go farther than that. No truo I Democrat can Idly alt by and see the I self constituted leaders of the Dem- ocratlc party prostitute the entire H principles on which tho plirty has been founded and then go Into con-H con-H ventlon and nominate two men for H congress on Democratic ticket who I Mill light President Wilson from tho I time they tako tholr seats, If Utah H should bo so unlucky as to elect H them. This Is ono of the things tho H Democrats of Utah or rather thoso H who lmvo appointed themselves to H the leadership of tho party, have H done. Heed Smoot Is opposed to H President Wl'son, but ho Is out In I the open, fighting him Ilka a man; I he Is not trying to slldo Into his sent H In the Scunto through the falso pre tenses of tho leaders of the Denio-H Denio-H cratic party. I "The fusion In Utah Is nothing ifJkmore or less than a conglomeration afol peanut politicians who have for I their purpose not the success of tha Democratic party, but what they can get out of It for themselves. Every I time tbero has been a fusion In this I stato tho Democratic party has gone Jokii to defeat. In 1808 in Weber I county the Democrats fused and dc-H dc-H feated every real Democrat running for ofllce. When A. W. McCuno was H the Democratic nominee for tho Unit- ed States Senato beforo tho lcglsla-I lcglsla-I ture of Utah, what happened? For H many ballots the Democrats stood H firm and then when it was almost certain that tho Democrats were to H elect him Aqulla Ncboker, who Is H now United States marshal for Utnh,' ' deserted his party and voted for Krank J Cannon. His voto was suf-H suf-H ficlent to elect Mr. Cannon to that H high olllco and overyono knows tho I results. I Man Without Party - ' "I am a man without a party. Ever 'Ince I lmvo had tho right of suf- 'rage I havo been a Democrat and I am going to remain a Democrat no matter what tho leaders of the sup- Posed Democratic party In Utah do. I say I nm a man without a party bo- cause I do not think that tho ticket hlch is in tho field this year Is a democratic ticket. J. H. Moylo, who heads tho ticket, wbb not entitled to the nomination which he rceclved. W. King, the man who has dono moro 'or Utah's Democrncy than tho wholo nK Put together, is tno man who Blll"l p leading that ticket and no-m no-m cause he not nnother defeat will TpKlst"re,i ngalnst tho so called nfmocratlo party. "Theso self constituted leaders , Ve como to mo and asked mo whnt meant when I said they woro self """Med lenders acting through a ,.elr constituted committee, which had mi . ln lho "'oueht of fusion.

WheB th0 Bee(Ja of fusion I noiifi , ,' Uropi,ed by a,lac nd his M ,cal henchmen, I was approached In tho matter ana I recited the fate of every fusion which has taken place In this state. I would not Join in any movement which has for Its purpose the prostitution of Democrat-ic Democrat-ic principles. "Mr. Wallace put this tiling over on tho Democrats of Utah nnd let him and those who aro with him gain success. It Is Impossible, for tho fusion is an net of political piracy and tho ticket is nn abomination." Mr. Farr stated that ho would under un-der no circumstances voto for the Democratic ticket as ho did not believe be-lieve tho fusion was tho outgrowth of tho rank and file of the Democrat-Ic Democrat-Ic party. |
