Show THE TERRITORIAL CONVENTION. The territorial Liberal convent'on will be held in this city on Wednesday for tho chief purpose of nominating a candidate for delegate in congress. We trust the convention will fully appreciate appreci-ate the political situation of the hour and act in accordanci with it. - Heretofore Hereto-fore tho nomination of a candidate for delegate was merely a nominal duty pcrformod mainly to "keep up the semblance sem-blance of a party organization. The last two years have wrought marvelous changes In this territory, and from the vantage gained in Ogden and Salt Lake City, the Liberal party can offer an interesting in-teresting fight. To this end it is essential essen-tial to put up the best available man and back him with a compact organization organi-zation and competent organizers, so that the entire vote may bo polled and used as a basis for future elections. The candidato thus nominated will not serve as a sacrifice on the party altar. The odds are not so heavy and the outlook not so discouraging now as they once were, and it is but a question of a short time when the pendulum will swing iu tho other direction and remain there. What the consequence of such a change implies we all know, and the man who now faithfully and devotedly serves the party in demolishing the last stronghold of the enemy will be remembered remem-bered on tho day when the Liberals will be able to deal out more substantial honors than mer glory. Events move rapidly in this country when once they take a start. Let the convention on Wednesday add momentum momen-tum to the start we have by doing its duty wisely and well. |
