Show FOR OUR REPUBLICAN READERS. Our friends, the enemy in their unwarranted un-warranted hatred of everything Democratic, Demo-cratic, realizing that to make a showing show-ing at all noticeable at the polls next Monday, every effort must be made and scheme worked to draw votes, are forgetting sadly one thing. That one thing is consistency. Granting that they are sufficiently intelligent to realize that in other parts of the territory, if not in Utah county, the banner Demo-i Demo-i cratic county, our common and arro- i gant enemy, the enemy of Utah in fact, the Liberal party, are in the fight more determined to ruin than ever before, be-fore, does it not seem inconsistent to our Republican friends that their organs or-gans should so far forget the interests of the territory as to furnish food and campaign;iiterature for the Literals? This they are doing; first, by struggling to prove that some , prominent Mormon is or was a Republican with the evident intent of appealing to the sympathy of some few Mormons who as yet. perhaps, have not become converted to either of the two national parties. How eagerlv is this gobbled by the Liberals, republished repub-lished and scattered broadcast outside of Utah to falaciously show that the Mormons are not sincore,none but those who have Lad an insight into their schemes know. The Republican organs are also working work-ing indirectly to the interests of the Liberals by prating about the popu larity of some of their nominees, which popularity has come to them not from anything they have done at all connected con-nected with politics. All this is wrong. Democrats and Republicans alike must, this election, above all elections to come in the future, vote a straight party ticket, with the double purpose of supporting our respective re-spective parties and of proving to the world that the Liberals are falsifiers j for political plunder and gain when they assert that the new movement is I not sincere. I Vote the straight ticket. Republi- j cans, for heaven's sake if you possibly can get yourselves worked "up to that frame of mind that you can vote your ticket at all, vote it straight and do not scratch it. The Democrats of Utah county want not one Republican vote neither for the ticket in its entirety or lor any one of our nominees. A straight party vote this time or no vote at all ; and the American citizen who has the right of franchise and does not use it is not worthy the name. In the Democratic Demo-cratic ranks there are none such. Every man will vote, and vote a straight ticket. Republicans, we ad-Vise ad-Vise you, do the same. |
