Show THE JOURNAL SAYS TMs, That art the Other About BMlfen's Candidacy And at the Same time Barber Lives In a Glass House. "Some will vote against young 'Ilcrtlc' Ilullcn because lie Is a Republican; Re-publican; others because lie, himself, already holds an elective otllce and his father Is drawing a plump salary from the State: and vet others because he lacks the ago, wisdom, experience and knowledge possessed by his com pet Itor in the race, Mr. Barber. And all of these votes that Mr. Ilullcn falls to get will add to Mr. Barber's majority. i Journal. , Did wc desire we might, answer , the Journal in the same strain, 'thus: Some will vote against "Genrglo" Uarber because he Is a Democrat. Others because he, himself, already holds an appointive otllce and Is drawing draw-ing a plump salary from the county. Others remembering tltc years when ho served as Assessor and Collector of this county, will vote aguinst'hlm on the ground that he has had enough. A large number will vote against him because If elccted'hcwould vote for a Democrat for United States Senator, and this is.not.nyear and now is not a time to be looking for Democratic U. S. Senators; oven if it were, judging from the post, .it would be folly to elect Mr. Barber, as 'the 'Democrats arc not lmthc!habltof electing U. S. Senators at all. All of these votes that Mr. BarboT falls' to get will add to Mr. Bullerimajorlty. Our worthyicontemporary assumes entirely too ranch in the above.

If he Is holding .a position of honor and trust, one that requires mental culture and business (ability, it is because he has by hard study and close application prepared lilmsolf fcr the position.

However, Bullen Is equally ,qual- fp . jiied. He Is a graduate of t Jie State "7 UnJwGmity, has taught school for years, Jias also been a successful farnf-cr farnf-cr and business man, is a fluent talker, and as, a man prominent in tlie affairs of tlie county during the past eight or ten years is a man thoroughly conversant con-versant with the needs of the county. He Is also a student of the state's affairs af-fairs and is one of the progressive element. ele-ment. Neither Democrats nor Republicans Re-publicans doubt the capability of either man, but this can be said in favor of Bullen that can not be said for the other man: Ho stands as the representative of the party that has done most for the people orthc United States; the party that stands for all that is glorious In the history of the country; the party of protection, plenty of work and good wages; the party that has done all that has been done against trusts; the party that hits done most for Utah; and for these reasons he asks your votes. There Is a Senator to bo elected by the next legislation and It is a vital thing to the Stuto of Utah that that Senator be a man In accord with the administration adminis-tration for 'tis useless to send a Democrat Dem-ocrat to Congress and expect any fuv- & ' ors for the State. For this reason pv Jlullen should be elected. There Is ., "WidVi. little doubt that there will be an overwhelming over-whelming Republican majority in the State legislature. If the people of Cache county send a Democrat down there, be he as good a man as Mr. Barber, Bar-ber, lwwmuch can "ho do for Cache countyV Very, very little, consequently conse-quently the voters of Cache county will elect Mr. Hcrschcl Bullcn. |
