while acting as chairman of the republican convention mr bonsley stated that he did not believe in asking the republican candidate for mayor to promise to publish a statement of expenditures and to purify the water why not pray the people a right to know what they may expect from their hired servants the news says yes and would not support for office a set of men who dare not say where they stand on these important questions As a humorist mr horsley is pretty good but as a logician he falls rather flat when you analyze his remarks the editor of the news prefers regulated licensed saloons to blind pigs pi a and for that reason he hopes to see u the citizens ticket victorious in the coming election it is a regret able fact that not half the saloon men will regulate themselves so it has been found necessary to enact state laws and city ord ordinances finances for their regulation too often men who desire to run clean places according to the provisions of the law are forced by their competitors to either evade the laws or lose business if it a certain element in the saloon business in this city continues the way it has been going there is going to be a wet and dry election some of these daas that will wipe out every saloon alcon in town the candidates on the citizens ticket do not want this they will if elected suvo save the saloons by regulating them which do the legitimate saloon men prefer A good and faithful servant t in last weeks advocate freddy NAT watrous the little gentleman who three months ago was brought over from myton to run the advocate for its owners attempts to get funny at the expense of a number of those who took part in iii the tile citizens convention of oct ath designating them newcomers and intimating intimating that as newcomers they were too forward in taking a hand in the political affairs of the city As the editor of the news was mentioned is as one of the newcomers he dashes to 10 state that he has been a bonafide resident of of price and carbon county a year and eight months just about a 3 ear and four months longer than the courteous little man of the advocate and he is a taxpayer the editor of the news has voted in three states before coming to utah and it was in all of these considered the proper thing to take part in primaries and conventions as soon as one became a legal voter in the state county or precinct in which he be resided it was always claimed that it was at the primaries and convention conventions that the graf grafters and ables could best be kept off the ticket ets and for that reason the writer attended the citizens convention in this city and took advantage of his legal right to participate if custom has made mado a rule for these things in utah the writer humbly begs the pardon of mr watrous and employers for his forwardness but the editor of the news does not believe he be or any of the other newcomers have done anything giong for on saturday evening last he be attended tho the republican city convention the convention of mr watrous friends and backers and there he saw a man who has been a rep resident ident of carbon county less than three months hop to his feet and place in n nomination omi nation three men before e he sat down another man who has been a resident of utah for less than six months made a nomination and voted on the balloting for a candidate and while we are talking of these things the writer wants to state that he lie has always considered it worse than poor taste and very cowardly for any man to make charges he could not substantiate against the candidates candidate 3 on any ticket just as bad as lying about a private citizen who was not a candidate for office if the news has not been misinformed mr watrous circulated false reports concerning joe Jae roberts the citizens candidate for mayor can you deny mr watrous that you circulated the report that joe roberts a life long republican was a socialist now what the writer has said in the above article is all without hard feeling or malice written to call mr watrous attention to the fact that he lie has been very inconsistent and rather fresh for a man aba has been a resident of the city and county less than four months dont get too fresh freddy your employers have no right to demand that much of you |
