Show The HYAMS AFFAIR. It is sad commentary on the Liberal Lib-eral party ot Salt Lake City when one of the principal officials of its first administration stands convicted of either dishonesty or imcompet-ency.ln imcompet-ency.ln the administration of public affairs one is as grave an offense as the other, and either always entails much confusion to the party responsible respon-sible for its opportunity to assert it self. While all that could be done to lighten the blow was performed with dispatch, the men who are responsible re-sponsible for Mt. Hyams' nomination nomina-tion and consequent election, will find it no easy matter to clear themselves of connivance, and while the Mormon Mor-mon papers are not in a favorable positson to throw mud, they will throw it just the same-and it will stick. It would seem, also, that there is something wrong in the police po-lice department and it is hoped Liberals of Salt Lake will do well to heed its advice. We trust that the affair will prove a wholesome lesson to them and that machine politics and bossism will be give a back seat in future elections. Park Heetrd: |
