All who have lacked a text have taken either C. C. Goodwin or Ihe "Liberal Party" and if there is anything any-thing evil that could be said of either, that has not been said I do n t know what it is. This is a club meeting anyhow, any-how, and not a rally I think the voters vot-ers of either p.uty are lully informed and p epared, and it is not necessary to urge anv person to do their duty. Politics and political parlies have been heretofore looked upon will! a gteat deal of disfavor here 111 Utah il not con sidered a positive evil. We had no need of them, being is' dated and having very little of an opposing natuie in our midst and there was n particular interest manifested in this line. Many matters, and many issues now ate forced upon us that require us to be conversant with political matters. Every peison is forced to take sides' even a stranger Coming into our midst and desiring to te strictly independent, willing il he can but find a span of neutral neu-tral ground, to stand upon, it; will find there is none, and he must take one side or the other. It is every man's right; and 1 may say duty. We are known as the Peoples Pirty and our oppjnents as the "Liberals" Il thev have noihiug else that is good they have a good name. K I had my way I would rechristeii the two parties, and we wou d take the name ol "Lib erals" as one appropriate to our p ilicy and they ''Il-Liberals" as appropriate to their policy, We have organized ourselves our-selves into a political party as a part have formed theie clubs and entered into Ihe study ol politics asa means of maintaining our rights as citizens, as tree Americans; to struggle In wiiat We Conceive to belong to us under the laws, and who can blame us or any other party. I have a right to show tip the good qualification of Mr, Ctiue, and U t under political rules, to show up the weaknesses ol the other candidate. I congratulate the members ol this Club Mat there is such an organizitioo in our midst, and I can promise you the result will be good. Kvery man and woman as tar as possible should become informed on the issues of the dav; the science and theory of g ivernment; and we need it moie to-dav than w j ever have in the past. There have been many questions asked by loreiguers in regard 10 religious belief when seeking the right to become American citizens, but in mv op nion if there is anv good reason lor debaring a man it would be for having no knowledge of the institutions insti-tutions ru was swearing allegieiice lo. I do not think a person should be admitted to citizenship unless t omewhat acquainted acquaint-ed with the laws of the country. (Applause) (Ap-plause) In assuming the responsibilities o' government, when entirely ignorant of 'he principals uudeilying the structure, struct-ure, what will be the resuli? Talk about a union of Church and State; did it exist it is not one half so dangerous, as ignorance ignor-ance in the masses, so that a lew men can sway them.
