tbeso trusts is to control or monopo
lize, and theso monopolies, when un
rcstrairicd,. seem, to produce conditions
which bring about strike and dis
orders, and disturb tho business affairs
of tho country.
Local self-government, that camo to
us not as the gift of the national gov
ernment, but as the legitimate outcome
of tho reserve powers of the states
and of tho people, is tho very corner
stone of our political structure, and the
best assurance of liberty regulated by
law. It can only be maintained by
strict observance of tho limitations of
the federal constitution- Tho demo
cratic party has always resisted, aud
will continue to resist, the encroach
ment by its enemies upon tho funda
mental right of the people of tho sev
eral states. All power comes from the
people,. and should be surrendered only
in tho interests of the people, and
whenever tt is power !s used for selfish
interest it Is not only an abuse, but
usurpation.
The declaration in the St. Louis plat
form in favor of arbitration is ono
that appeals to my sense of fairness.
Nations and states have employed to
advantage this method of settling dis
puted questions, states have invoked its
aid with good results, and Individuals
frequently have resort to It In adjust
ing questions of difference, lho Hagu-j
tribunal, representing the sentiment of
conciliation, Is the highest practical ex
pression of intelligent thought on this
subject The principles of arbitra
tion are the same, whether governing
in the great court of nations or ap
plied in the affairs of industrial life.
Its permanent establishment as a part
of tho industrial system of the coun
try, upon i basis of mutual consent of
all parties to a controversy, would in
sure moro friendly relations between
employer and employed, for the in
terest of the workingman and tho em
ployer Is identical. It affords a safo
and equitable method of determining
differences that may arise, and has
been called "a reasonable and natural
mode" of settling such disputes. Tho
spirit of arbitration Is kindred to the
lovo of jaw and order. It Is the ar
biter of peace instead of war, and
makes for happiness instead of sorrow.
All lovers of their country must de
precate the rehabilitation by tho re
publican party of a disappearing race
Issue, at a timn -when every effort
should be made to promote rather
than retdid tho progress which was
being made in the states where
slavery had existed, toward kindlier
relations between the two races. The
revival of this issue, with all its at
tendant evils, must of necessity re
tard the development of the southern
states, whoso people are struggling
manfully -with conditions left by the
war, and seriously interferes with the
industrial progress of both races.
Peculation and fraud in the public
service under the present administra
tion, especially in the postofflce and
land departments, reached such pro
portions that knowledge of the evils
practiced became public property.
Prosecutions naturally followed, but a
thorough and impartial investigation
by congress, proposed and urged by
the democratic minority, was refused
by the republicans at the mandate, it
Is believed, of the administration.
Congress adjourned earlier than at
fany long session for many years for
the purpose, it is believed, of prevent
ing further agitation of the question,
and in an effort to curtail expenses.
Offices arc created and filled in pur
suance of law to carry on the govern
ment, and not to further party am
bitions and the selfish purpose of any
citizen. Many of the 100,000 federal
I officeholders, servants of all tho peo
ple, while under salary, are now vigor
ously, some covertly and some open
ly, working and contributla to Uie
present campaign to securo tbe suc
cess of tho republican partjr, in de
fiant violation of tho civil sen lice laws,
rules and regulations. Sevcul mem
bers of the cabinet and other officials
of tho government, forsaking their
duties and the departments at Wash
ington, aro spending their tirao In
making speeches and uslnK all tho
influenco and power of their official
positions to elect their chief.
lho lao democratic convention, and
its candi'lato for Dresldent havo Kivon
signal exhibition of a mutual respect
ana conhdenco almost unprecedented
in our political history, and our party
has received new inspiration and hope
in its appeal to the people, who al
ways appreciate and admiro courage
character and discretion in their lead
ers. Our candidate has theso quali
ties and can bo depended upon at all
times to observe that self-control in
speech and action which is so neces
sary to safe reasoning and sound
judgment
With unabated trust in tho efficiency
of tho cardinal principles of our great
party, when applied to tho practical
administration of government, to re
alize the blessings of peace and pros
perity for all, and believing: that the
people will correct the present abuses
of administration by a change of party
m power, I await with confidence tho
result of their judgment at tho polls.
Very truly yo'Urs,
H. G. DAVIS.
The Only Way Out
During the campaign two years ago,
Senator Cannon spoke at Huntsvlllc
on the senatorial candidates. While
ho was giving Senator Rawlins' record
and dwelling on his high standing; in
the senate, soma hoodlum in the
audience called out to know why
Smoot should not bo elected. Can
non paused In his eulogy of Senator
Rawlins just long enough to point h'is
finger at the questioner and say: "Be
cause we've had trouble enough."
If no other reason were offered for
the defeat of tho republican ticket in
Utah this year,"" that one would bo
enough: "Because we havo had
trouble enough."
Senator Cannon saw clearly the nat
ural, tho inevitable results of tho
Provo apostle's ambition. Ho had been
in tho United States senate himself as
an honored representative of this
state; he knew the temper of tho sen
ate, Its high regard for tho traditions
of tho fathers which reprehend any
thing like a union of political and re
ligious forces in affairs of state; he
anticipated the storm that vould be
raised and he had the courage to tell
this people his fears.
Senator Smoot and his coterie ridi
culed the predictions then mado as tho
fevered imaginings of partisans; ho
and his associates apparently believed
that he could bo the first and only
man In all American history to unite
high ecclesiastical and political, office
in ono personality and go unscathed
of attack.
The very presumption of the man
was enough to show his ignorance of
Anglo-Saxon history in Its long strug
gle for emancipation from church dom
ination In civil affairs; it was enough
to demonstrate his entire and child
like inability to comprehend the tem
per of the American people. Worse
than that, it showed his -willingness
to stake the prosperity of Utah, its
reputation in tho land. Its Internal
peace, all these he was willing to
risk and for what?
Was any Issue involved so great
that this risk to Utah was justified?
Did Smoot's eloquence, his knowledge
of public affairs, his experience ' offer
compensation for the hazards he thrust
upon his state by his election? Was
there any crisis, immediate o remote,
