Show LOCAL POLITICAL PARTIES in this county much more so perhaps in any other county in the territory there has been considerable political agitation kept up of late in reference to the organization of clubs democratic and republican A few members of the peoples party have got together and organized themselves into a democratic club this was all right and perhaps quite consistent in view of the fact that if they had a choice as between the two great national parties it was quite proper they should express it and mingle together in an organized capacity if they so desired so that they could the better discuss and familiarize themselves with alie principles and issues associated with the national party lot their choice but there were some identified with the movement alio manifested a desire to go farther than aliis and in their enthusiasm advocated separation from all other parties declaring it to be in their opinion inconsistent for any true democrat to vote for other than a democratic ticket this may be true enough provided the issue is between a democratic ticket and a republican ticket but these men who aavo bated separation from all other parties were and we presume are yet member of the peoples party and this latter party is at present an essential political element in aliis territory and will probably have to remain so as long as there continues to exist an antagonistic organization here composed of persons of every shade of polities who have no other object in aliis world aan to crush out all others in this territory be they democrats or republicans who arc religiously and socially identified with the dominant or peoples party so long therefore as aliese democrats and republicans public ans unite under alie name of the liberal party for the purpose named so long also will it be necessary for democrats and republicans of the peoples party to remain bound together for the purpose at least of self preserve tion and the maintenance of their religious and social liberties the deseret news of july makes some excellent suggestions on this same subject it says could anything happen which be more pleasing so than an of a portion of the peoples party into a separate and independent party no matter under what name such a division would suit bliem to a dot it is only by such a split that they can hope to gain their ends we do not care under what plea pretext excuse or reason such a departure is advocated it is all fudge and fustian and is adverse to the interests of the community if the pretended had ac on national party issues and opened the door to democrats of all former local parties there might have been some sense in affiliation with such an organization but now that they have slid back to hero they belong and show rp in their true celers as the opponents of everything whether it be republicanism or democracy which is not antagonistic to the majority of the people hereit would be not only absurd but politically criminal for democratic members of the peoples party to secede and thus virtually go over to the enemy there is ao neutral ground in this local conflict we venture the prediction that if any democratic members of the peoples party from any motive whatever en deavor just now to establish themselves apart from it they will find out and that quickly that vaulting ambition hath oer leaped itself tho present interests of the majority in utah requires alie union of all who are attached to them if any are foolish enough to forsake their friends hen their presence and influence are needed they will make alie biggest blunder of their lives and one that will not and ought not to be forgotten we candidly declare that we regard any man w lio seeks to divide the peoples party under present circumstances as the peoples enemy and we are satisfied that this will be the view taken by the very large majority of its member they all pull together aliey never needed complete unity any more than today to day if any one lias become blinded to this fact we hope bome keen sighted friend will furnish him with a little common sense the issues here at present are purely local they enst he met on local grounds and with local organizations national politics bhatia party politics do not enter into aliese issues under existing conditions division of the majority would be suicidal we know what liberal control was in thoele tooele county the people had enough of that to last them a lifetime division of the peoples party whether through organization of other parties out of or in rny other way means liberal control with the republic of thoele tooele aa a warning we know that means fraud depreciation of values public defalcations debt riot and ruin if it continues lie who fa trives for a division of the party for these and aliis juat alie me for everybody to understand tand it t the people artand by luicir baity a work under ita regulations then ahey will be politically bate and no true democrat will find anything therein at variance with his honeas and disinterested political convictions |
