One $5.00 share to F. S. Richards. Signed by OW Powers and Morris Sommely(?). Vignettes of a rooster, tent, guitar burning on an open fire, and peace/war Native American symbols. Rips at edges of folds, Territorial Utah. Anticipating the division on national party lines; Judge Powers organized what was known as the Tuscarora Society. This Democratic Liberal society grew to a membership of eleven hundred and was a strong political factor. In 1892 the Tuscarora Society ran a special train containing a drum corps and about sixty members of the organization to the National Democratic Convention at Chicago which Judge Powers and Mr. Fred J Kiesel attended as delegates from Utah representing the Liberal wing of the local Democracy. Their right to sit as delegates was contested by Judge Henderson and Hon John T Caine who had been sent by the newly formed Democratic Party of Utah. The latter were seated. Soon afterwards the Tuscarora Society merged with the regular Democratic Party. Judge Powers was now elected a member of the Territorial legislature serving during the session of 1893. In 1895 he was unanimously chosen chairman of the Democratic Territorial Central Committee and waged a very energetic campaign.
