Show TlIK Fill T KCI'l'lll.U AN TICKET. ll is a linlo curious to rellect that tjiere, are hundreds of voters in Salt l.ako who never s a republican or democratic ticket until today. We have seen men forty years of age gaze nt the republican ticket in wrapt admiration ad-miration and exclaim: "It is the first I ever saw." Think of it! Men who have been voters all thesn year who never saw a ballot of the party to which they yield allegiance! It certainly cer-tainly presents an anomolous state of affairs. It id really wonderful to lind the party so strong among men who never bad an opportunity to do battle for it; but when men take up the re-pnblioan re-pnblioan ticket, gaze at it iu tenderness and turning to their companions say, as has been said today: T will preserve it. It is the first time I ever 1 aid eyes on a republican ticket. I thank God that the time has come when I can work for and vote for the party" in I the presence of such senues we cas realize that the party appeals to the minds and the hearts of true men, whether they have or have not borne any part in its achievements. These Utah men whosoi manhood has been spent here rejoice in tho appearance appear-ance at the poils of the ticket of the grand party of human rights, aud men who formerly voted it in other places j have today been thrilled with pleasure at the sight of the name "Republican Ticket." Every mau who has voted it will experience a fooling of peculiar satisfaction that will remain with Lim for long years to romo. And not tho least gratifying feature cf the matter is the knowleilgo that the ticket wnieh it has been audi a pleasure to vote tod.-.v will be at tho polls in every election H the future and that from the record mso tod.iy tho re-publican re-publican par'y wi'l go forward, constantly con-stantly increasing in strength until no other party will seriously hope to prevail pre-vail asainst it. The first republican ticket will not be the Inst, for there is no man whose eyes were gladdened by seeing it at the polls today mid whose soul wa thrilled by a consciousness of performance of duty in voting it who would listen to any proposition that would deprive him of that high privilege in the future. |
