Nelson, than they wen during the fitst few weeks of the campaign, and one is now better able tojudgeaml tnunieasurc the relative startling of the different political parties. These considerations suggest to the FosfthatTis is proper at this time to have a little talk with those Republicans 'who have been inclined to throw their strength with the Bull Moose organization, but who have not yetjuirned. their bridges behind them or committed themselves irrevocably to the new party. A brother who leaves the parental roof in a moment of disagreement with his brethren who remain at home must go far astray and do many harmful things .becomes jmtirely.cstranged.-osevers forever tlje ties of kinship ' and affection. . . It is in this spirit which this suggests that the Post looks upon those men acted for years with the great Republican party, burwhO have somewhat hesitatingly-followeStephen II. Love, Wesley K. Walton and others out of the party to meet Nephi L. Morris and Ogden Ililes coming toward them from the pcmocratic party. (A few years ago Morris claimed to be a Republican but has been fighting with the Democrats for the past four years.) The Post does not look upon these hesitating Republicans as traitors to the party, as we believe that they will yet return to the fold and aid in a glorious Republican victory and help to continue the era of prosperity I!1?1 promises so much good for the nation.Wereeognize their Republican antecedents and believe that down deep in their hearts they would regret a Democratic victory at the polls. Some Have Gone Too Far. -- Some of the leaders of the Bull Moose party have committed themselves too far to return, hut a vast majority of the' Bull Moose movement will he baek in the party next year. In their return there will be nothing strange. It will be in line with the history of nearly ,all new party movements. In 1872 it looked for" a time, as though the new Liberal party movement would sweep the couutry. But as campaign pro&EfeWitLihe impulse that drove the participants into that movement grew weaker and weaker, and when election day -, ftmc the regular Republican party gained a wonderful victory. There is every reason to believe that it will he so with the Buli - Moose party. No man who compares the political situation of today with what it was three weeks ago can be blind to the fact that there has been a notable deeline in the impetus that carried the Bull Moose - organization forward-i- n e the early- - days campaign."' Everywhere one nay see signs that it has passed the zenith several days ago, one of a praire or mountain fire which is sweeping over the land encounters nothing but the dry grass. It burns swiftly for a short 'in.l !Ln(J advances with great speed. When it has swept the path , it s out, and what is more difficult than to start a second praire fire .on ground recently swept over by flames. Roosevelt has swept' over ' the country once. It seems that the Colonel made a mistake in starting his so soon and giving his chief attention to the west. It is no reflection upon his generalship to say this. One cannot even expect the greatest general to avoid making mistakes. Napoleons into Russia was'ill advised' and proved disastrous.'' lie made He won many battles.

A GREAT GOVERNOR AND A SPLENDID ADMINISTRATION. - Every person who pays taxes in the State of Utah is entitled to know where that money is going, no matter whether he he a Democrat, Republican, or Bull Moose, for after the political battles of the day are over and we again become a great people working for one great common cause, that of state and national progress. Governor Spry has taken this fact into consideration and now that he has been at the Head of state affairs for four years, he is making his firfhncial report to the people. And what a splendid report the governor can now make to the people of the state. When he went into office four years ago, the state had an.overdraft of over $300,000 Today.under the careful management of the administration the overdraft has not only been entirely, wiped out but $250,000 of the $900,000. bonded indebtedness assumed by the state from territorial dayslhas been paid off and the taxpayers will no longer have to pay 5 per cent interest on this large amount of money. Added to this saving of, five per cent on bonds, may be added a saving of almost $100,000 in the floating of bonds for good roads throughout the state and in so arranging the finances that no overdraft interest be paid on money in trust funds set aside by the the schools, build reservoirs, etc. ' A Governor to All. Besides carefully guarding the finances af the State there is not a corner in Utah that Governor Spry and other members of the administration have not visited for the purpose of finding out the exact needs of the people from the people themselves. No journey has been too hard for Governor Spry when it has been for the interests of the people of Utah. One time we find him inspecting the roads into St. George preparatory to sending convict labor into that section to aid the taxpayers in getting easy access in and out of Utahs Dixie. Again we find him crossing the Uintah Reservation explaining to Unpeople out there how they can go to work to get state aid in placing water on their lands and inspecting the bridge "over' Green River placed there by the state at an expense of $19,000 to assist the people of Vernal and the Uintah basin. From here we find him going to Moah where the state. has constructed 'another splendid bridge for t lie' bene fitof tbe'people 'at a eosUof $35,000. Then up to" Logan to watch thcemi8tructioii of a state power plant to furnish power for public institutions and thus save the taxpayers another bill, , Working for Peace, When the strikers walked out at Bingham the governor was inspecting the state highway through Kane, Garfield, and Piute counties, but no' sooner did the word of trouble reach him than he made all haste possible to Marysvale, where he took a freight train out in orderlo reach Salt Lake several hours ahead of the regular pas an dent tT a ft. 1 1 ei sr ofboth:iiitegrityanr'abilifyr"l'nforfunate-- : senger The next day Spry was aTTThgham,' exhortiHg'lhe 'strikers ly for his present reputation, but not his place in istory, he does' and employers alike to guard the sacred rights of life, property, an.' l ug things in such an easy way that his worlj attr-et- s very little human liberty.
