Rich and the Hon. Thomas Hull. They threw shot and shell filled with political logic at the leaders of the democracy and carried the great crowd to a state of enthusiasm not heretofore exceeded in this campaign. The arguments offered by the Democratic Demo-cratic speakers of the evening before were answered., much to the satisfaction satisfac-tion of iho audience. Dye as Chairman. Samuel G. Dye, acting chairman, opened the meeting r;th the statement state-ment made by the chairman of the Democratic party on the iii(.'ht previous, prev-ious, tint the Republicans were favored favor-ed by the management of the theatre and paid less for the use of the house, than the Democrats was untrue. Thi statement of Chairman Dye was substantiated sub-stantiated at the close of the meeting by the statement of Manager Allison, who told the audience that the two political parties were treated by the management of the opera house with impartiality, each being taxed $100 for the rental of the theatre as a meeting place. During the course of the evening the Graham Imperial Quartette rendered render-ed a number of pleasing selections which were loudly encored by the gathered throne. Ben L. Rich as Speaker. The first speaker to take the floor was Benjamin Rich, a young man, who spoke with considerable force and who launched into his oration with the declaration mat the Republican Republi-can party would carry Salt Lake county by 5.0011 majority. He forecasted fore-casted a victory for the Republican forces in Weber county, stating that this county was certain to pile up a good majority for the G. O. P. Mr. Rich scored the Deniocratlc party and its leaders, asserting that It had formed an alliance with the Salt Lake Tribune, which In the present pre-sent fight had become the official organ or-gan of the Democrats of this state. Lauds Theodore Roosevelt. "The Democrats have claimed that they are the great party, the great factor of the country which has done the the most to curb the trusts and yet that on man.' exclaimed the speaker, pointing his linger at tho portrait of ex-President Theodore Roos-exelt." that one man of the Republican Re-publican party has done more to curb the trusts than all or the Democrats in the country put together. In th present campaign the Democratic party has one plank to stand upon and that is the insincere issu? of slate wide prohibition. Prohibition does not products would mean almost a dea'h blow to the industries of this state. Is it any wonder that Utah ia not with this kind of advancement, with tills kind, of progress? The Insurgents Insur-gents of "the west are the Republicans Republi-cans who are hostile to tho interests of our state. Tariff and Temperance. "The Republicans have passed tho bill that formed an Intcrstato com-t. com-t. erce commission; it has done away with the long and short haul law thai v.orked so much harm to the lnter-mountaln lnter-mountaln country. The Republican party is at present reclaiming tho arid lands of the country, and during dur-ing the last session of congress $20,-(HiO,000 $20,-(HiO,000 was appropriated to flower 1he deserts of the west. The Stnoot enlarged homestead bill has given to the people of this state 2,000,000 acres of land. We never had an assay office lu the state until the present fedarai representatives from Utah visited President Roosevelt and persuaded b!m to have one established in Salt Iiko City. ' On the temperance question tho Republicans have decided that In dls-t:!cts dls-t:!cts where it will be possible to enforce en-force prohibition and 'vnere tho people peo-ple shall want It, the people shall I have the right to oto the saloon out of existence. To attempt to enforce prohibition In districts where the people- do not want it would be foolish fool-ish and Impossible. You are the Jury and I submit the case to you and you will give your answer Tuesday." Hull Scores Roberts and Morris. Hon. Thomas Hull of Salt Lake Lake City, formerly speaker of tho houso of representatives, was thA last c-ator on the program. Mr. Hull reviewed re-viewed the speeches made by B. H. Roberts. Ho stated that Mr. Roberts Rob-erts had endeavored to prove by a telegram that the leaders of the Re-publlcai Re-publlcai party had entered Into a deal with the liquor Interests of the state. Mr. Hull bitterly arraigned the Democratic Demo-cratic speaker and read the telegTam which was sent to Washington from Salt Lake by the three Republicans daring last January. He denied that there was anything in the telegram that offered any evidence that such a deal as Roberts alleges had ever been consummated. Mr. Hull read the letter which Ne-phl Ne-phl Morris Friday sent to Mr. Roberts, Rob-erts, and tstated that it came from a man who had already stated lu an Interview that he had received an answer to the telegram, which has played so important part in the campaign. cam-paign. In this letter Mr, Morrl3 si&tes that the Salt Lako Herald-Republican had branded him as a moral coward. menn temperance ior you cannoi legislate leg-islate temperance into people It enn-uit enn-uit be forced upon a people by impassioned im-passioned speeches. Temperance must come from within. It must mean a modification of all the passions, desires de-sires and appetites, a subordination of theso blind impulses to the intellect. intel-lect. "The Republican party stands for temperance and the only deal that tbe iKirty leaden has made is a deal with all the people of the great fitate of Utah to give them a clean and upright up-right government of affairs, tho kind of government that the party has always al-ways given the people of U1I3 great cemimon wealth " Brands Morris Coward. "If there aro such things going on In the Republican party aa he claims", cried the speaker, ieanlng over the foot llght3 and holding aloft the Mor-rs Mor-rs letter, "and yet he remains silent then I brand him as a moral coward. "Why should he rema'n silent and permit per-mit such things to take place, why does he not cry aloud? Because he knows that such things do not exist-in exist-in the party and that no such infamous infam-ous deal as he claims ever took place." Mr. Hull read excerpts from the speech of Mr. Roberts at the constitutional constitu-tional convention held 13 years ago in which the Democratic leader slood opposed to a prohibition clause being placed in the state constitution. In this speech Mr. Roberts was quotes as saying that ho was opposed to the prohibition clause because It would interfere with Individual liberty. "Mr. Roberts hns stood on both sides of every important question." vowed the speaker, "and I am astounded as-tounded that he stands so long on one side of the religions question" CongrCfaman Howell Talks. Following Mr. Rich's address Congressman Con-gressman Howell was presented and after an ovation by the audience slat--ed that he was glad to again face an Ogden audience. "We are drawing to the close of a campaign that, has been blackened by more slander and calumny and less honest discussion than any in the history of the state," He said: On next Tuesday the people of this stale will be called upon to determine de-termine whether they will stand by the party of Lincoln. McKinley, Roosevelt Roos-evelt and Taft or whether they will desert tha party. "During the past two years I believe be-lieve that the Republican administration administra-tion of this country has enacted more just and wise and more progressive b gl.-Iatlon than has ever before been enacted in a similar length of time in th history of these United States. The Democrats say that we should have lowered the tariff more than we did. Let us see. The tariff was reduced re-duced during the Cleveland administration. admin-istration. What vas the result? We got free wool, but the people went in rags, we got cheap food, nnd yet famine swept (he country and Hie pallid pal-lid lips of want called In vain for food. And with all the cheapness, the only things that were really c'leaji was the tariff revenue and the Democratic party.'' Says "Uncle" Jesse Is Wise. Mr. Howell pral.-ed tbe Dlngley tariff tar-iff bill and stated that the present muiilnls' ration haj raised only the things that were luxuries and that tbe things Imported Into this country coun-try for the common people were not subjected to a higher duty. He took the opportunity of stating that while "Uncle" Jesso Knight decried the 1 igh tariff in his speeches, bo de-td'-cd a high tariff on lead becuuso thai was a product which the smelter man was interested In. "'Uncle' Jesse may be as unsophisticated unso-phisticated ns lie claims on some things," sold the speaker, "but ho Is wise on lead, and don't you forget It. ' What are tho Insurgents doing? I will tell you. In Iowa they are i-iamorlng lor a reduction of the tar-1 tar-1 Iff on sugar and lead and wool.
