THAT DEMOCRATIC LOVE FEAST The Democratic banquet at the Weber We-ber club rooms last evening drevi more members of the party than th? large dining room of the club could teat Three sears ago a Democratic dinner might have passed unattend cd except bv the stalwarts of the part.v That is the difference between be-tween success and failure. We recall a city primarv of the I Democrats of Ogden when two men sat on the City Hall steps, waiting the coming of a third, in order to organize or-ganize and select twenty or more delegates to represent an entire ward Were primaries to be held tomorrow, the City Hall would be crowded, The Democracy of today is the Democracy De-mocracy of yesterday and yet how strangc-h different is the attitude of the people toward that political or ganlzatlon!

Few desired to be known as Democrats when the Demo crats were a part of the great army of unfed, long excluded from the pie counters of the government now every ev-ery fellow who can trace, in his genealogical tree, any evidence of Jack&onian blood, is proclaiming himself him-self entitled to sit down at a dollar dinner with Valentine Gideon, T D Johnson. C A. Boyd, C. C. Richards. Dr. Conroy and the others who have kept the faith through the long years of humility and sacrifice.
