The Tribune saldj It was a frost and' Tho Herald In dlfj j ferent language conveyed the sam K ' Idea, which was entirely untrue.. A! ' compared with tho Democratic con i ventlon tho Republican gathering was a sceno of wild enthusiasm and aside from tho Insincere and consequent!? nauseating protestations of honestj , and patriotism which emanated fron tho disgruntled office-seekers am j charlatans of tho Kearns convention i It was far In advance of the Kearnf "American" pow wow. Tho fact Is 1 1 was a convention of earnest, sincere men, free from bombast and bun combo, who felt that their, honestj j and patriotism was above suspicion I, For a municipal convention the attendance was good and tho business , d was dispatched expeditiously and har J monlously and although In some cases ' tho contest for the nominations were .( j warm and spirited, thero was no 111 V feelings or sore places loft to be :' smoothed over or healed. Tho person ! nel of tho tlckot, which Is given above, j Is Immeasurably superior to that put t forward by tho Koarns "Americans," I and very much superior to that of the ; Democrats. Tho Republican nomination fot Mayor Is very displeasing to both the . Democrats and tho Kearns "Amerl-i i cans." Mr. Lynch Is a strong, vigor- ous character, a man who knows the; i right and does not fear to do it, a man i who is thoroughly capable and will bo mayor in fact as well as in theory, which cannot bo said of either Thompson Thomp-son or Morris. Whenever ho has been before tho public ho has led his ticket and proved himself a capable and honest official. That's why tho Kearns and the Democratic crowds don't like his nomination. Ho was tho unanimous choico of the Republicans Republi-cans for mayor and will beyond question ques-tion bo tho choico of tho people. Tho contest for auditor was between be-tween W. E. Vigus and Charles Cot-trell. Cot-trell. The former won, receiving 258V6 agaist 253 for tho latter. Vigus Is a good straight fellow of Irreproachable character. He served a term In tho city council and for a dozen years or more was tho ropresentatlvo of the Associated Press in Salt Lako City. W. R. Hutchinson received the nomination nom-ination for city attorney practically without opposition. Another candl-; date was before the convention, but he) withdrew beforo the vote was taken and Mr. Hutchinson was enthusiastically enthusiasti-cally declared tho nominee. Ho Is a lawyer of well known ability and sterling ster-ling character and will poll a big vote C. S. Buckwalter and J. O Barthol wero tho candidates for recorder. Buckwalter won, his voto bolnt? 357 ngaist B'arthel's 155. Mr. Buckwalter' Is a very popular young man of unblemished un-blemished character, who stands well 'n tho community. Ho will bo a good vote-getter and will make a faithful and conscientious recorder, who will levoto his entire time to the duties of his office, which will bo a great contrast con-trast to tho course of tho present Incumbent In-cumbent of tho office, who for nearly two years has done practically noth-Ing noth-Ing for the salary ho has drawn from tho city treasury. Thero wero three candidates for city treasurer W. J. Beatie, J. E. Openshaw and Fred Bassott. Beatie received 289 votes, Bassett 11C and Oponshaw 107. Tho first named was declared the nominee. Mr. Beatie is so well known In Salt Lako that It would bo superfluous to say anything about him. His business career Is without stain and his private life and character without reproach. Ho will probably run ahead of his ticket on election day. One striking feature of tho Republl-: Republl-: can nominees Is tholr high standing nul Irreproachablo prlvnto lives and characters. In this thoy present it striking contrast to tho aggregation which confronts tho public on tho Kearns-"American" ticket. Tho char-actors char-actors and lives of most of them aro notoriously bad both as regards integrity integ-rity and morality. A puro stream cannot can-not emanate from a foul sourco. The Koarns-"Amerlcan" tlckot Is such as might bo expected to spring from tho sourco it does Kearns, Cannon and Llppman. A new Ropubllcan city committeb was elected composed of tho follow1-ing: follow1-ing: ! First ward, J. L. WoIIer, William Langobacker; Second ward, J. J.. Greenowald, J. A. Anderson; Third ward, H. S. Anderson, W. C. Mitchell j Fourth ward, Glen Miller. J. C. Sharif Fifth ward, J. W, Cottle, William Edwards, Ed-wards, i Tho Republican city ticket has three Gentiles and two Mormons and tho councllmanlc ticket six Gentiles and four Mormons. This does not! however, deter tho Kearns organ! from asserting that It Is tho work or tho "hierarchy." t If Eza Thompson is elected mayor It means that Georgo Shoots will bo appointed chief of police Sheets is tho head of tho Kearns secret service, and must bo rewarded. Mr. W. J. Lynch refused to bo guided by either tho requests or tho demands of tho Herald, Tologram nnd Trlbuno that ho resign his offlco of chief of p. a because the Republican party had nominated him for mayor. Mr. Lynch is exactly right. Ho is under un-der no obligations, moral, ethical or any other kind, to resign, and shows his independence and manhood by not doing so. Ho is, moroover, under no obligations to either ox-Mayor Thompson Thomp-son or Mayor Morris for tho position ho holds as chief of police. Thoy appointed ap-pointed him because thoy wero ob-Mged ob-Mged to do it. Lynch is ovory Inch a man, and when ho is mayor won't, liko Thompson, need a deputy to do tho business or bo swayed by overy designing ward heeler heel-er as Morris has been. Tho Socialists mot last Sunday and nominated a tlckot with which to go beforo tho voters on Nov. 7. Tho nominees nom-inees aro as follows: For mayor, H. P. Burt; for recorder, Marcus Schu- man; for treasurer, M. II. Wilson; for auditor, Miss Mary Stark; for attor- ney, Joseph Gilbert. For tho council: First ward, J. II. Sanigcr, Mrs. Mary Parramoro; Second ward, Georgo B. 'H Spahr and Samuel V. Pitts; Third ward, W. J. Morton and Nolson Wos- tergron; Fourth ward, William Sor- vice nnd B. O. Best; Fifth ward, Henry Hilgcr and J. T. Lavery. Tho Socialists polled 1,300 votes In tho city last fall. Tho action of tho Kearns "American" party Is absolutely idiotic In charging that tho Ropubllcan party has stolen its party omblcnv the American flag. Wero tho livery of heaven within Sight and in grasp no doubt tho Koarns contingency would roach for It Indeed it would not' be unreasonable to assort that the "American" party would steal acorns from a blind' pig and then kick tho pig because they were not chest Tho following is tho platform adopted by tho Republican city con- Tho Republican party of Salt Lake In convention assembled congratu-latcs congratu-latcs tho pcoplo upon their unparal-Iclcd unparal-Iclcd victory in stato and national affairs and commends and endorses with heartiest approval tho successful and pre-eminent administration of Theodoro Roosevelt. Wo omphaslze jH tho principle that municipal govern- fl mcnt is most successful when in ac-cord ac-cord with national politics, and bo- j liovo that our own advancement is greatest under tho party that stands for peace, progress and prosperity, and wo pledgo tho pcoplo of Salt IH Lako that wo shall pursuo in local affairs tho same honest and fearless administration of accomplishment which characterizes tho Republican party in tho nation. Tho Ropubllcan party has fearlessly met and successfully settled overy question with which it has been con-fronted, con-fronted, and can nnd will successfully settle every question boforo tho pec-plo pec-plo of Salt Lako at tho present time. Wo bclievo that tho water question is fl of primal Importance to tho citizens of Salt Lako, and should not be cloud- jfl cd nor obscured for irrelevant and lm- Ml material issues, which live only in the i shadow of tho past. In tho next do-endo do-endo tho population of Salt Lake lt should bo doublod, and tho Republican & party, welcoming all desirable citl- f I zens, willing to aid in, tho advanco- ift I merit of -Salt 'Lake City, Insists In' in- K J stalling a water system which will i cSW supply every want of the city, present i rtSJ and future. . The Republican party has always i A ' . safeguarded the people's Interests and ils In all municipal Improvements will see to It that not one dollar of .tho poo- gB pie's money shall bo dlvertod from tho W purposo for which It was voted, and 'f that wlso, Judicious and economical '? expenditure shall characterize the jf same; and maintain, further, that the labor on all municipal work shall bo ' " performed by local working people, j' and that such labor shall bo adequate ly compensated, i Wo donounco as unjust and outrage ous tho present wasteful and oxtrava-f oxtrava-f '. gant administration, which, In spite of , . the Increased taxation of property, has .unnecessarily raised tho city, taxes ( from 0 to 11 mills, and yet has vir tually dono nothing to show for tho expenditure of tho money. Sldowalks and streets have been paved on paper, ' and other imaginary Improvements , .made between the Intervals of strife In tho street department, while the neoplo are being taxed to maintain Its Incompetency. Wo commend tho ofllclency of tho police department, which, under Republican Re-publican guidance, has attained a 'standard of excellence before un- 'known In tho history .of the city. Tho Republican party has always stood for fairness and Justice to all v men, honesty and Integrity In all Ithlngs municipal and national, and a "square deal" to overy man. Believing that tho Republican party , or Lincoln, McKInloy and Roosevelt Is groat enough to solve overy question of local or national Importance, wo rtoiirecato overy effort and aro unalterably unalter-ably opposed to overy measure which has for Its purposo tho severing 'ot party ties and tho alignment of citl- ; zens along other than political lines. Wlllard Hanson mado a ringing a I dross In nominating W. J. Lynch for . mayor and Jako Qreenewald followed up with a very effective seconding speech. & J Furious J. Cannon's apostrophe to Ogden Hlles Is tho most flagrant In-stonco In-stonco of tearing a passion to tatters oxtant. Ogdon Hlles Is a very com- mon ordinary mortal, In fact, a truthful truth-ful recital of his escapades would ' place him a great deal below tho angels an-gels and a great deal bolow what Is . considered as decency- among mor tals. Furious J. must have had an un-. un-. usual quantity of "dope" when he-dlc- tated his apostropho to Ogdon Hlles, "By tho eternal, somebody's boys aro being dragged to hell; some; body's girls aro being ruined. I am going to accept Ezra Thompson's pledgo of civic decency I am going to ask him what ho has dono for tho souls that havo perished In tho hell holos of Salt Lake City." ! Trlbuno Editorial of Oct. 5. ' What did Ezra Thompson do for tho souls that perished In Salt Lake City during tho four years ho was mayor? Furious J. Cannon, tho, Iwrltor of tho Trlbuno editorial, may , bo nblo to tell. Ho was-an Inmato or, ! a resident of a hell holo In Salt Lake. Let him answer and say what, !Ezra Thompson did for his soul. Wo .don't know. Wo .do. know? .however, that the Trlbuno editorials aro sug-gostlvo sug-gostlvo of a Chinese opium den. j If Ezra Thompson Is elected mayort I ho will, according to Furious J. Can-J i - non, do wonders, for tho "souls that , havo perished In tho holl holes of Salt Lake City." .'-," ' "; Jt J ' Every.' day It becomes more and, Pf?' more apparent that' the-real light In " tho approaching election will bo be- H - tw.epn. tho Republicans and tho so-called- "Americans." Tho "Amorl cans," composed in tho greater part of a lot of' addle-pated and sorehead Gentiles, led by ex-Senator Kearns, ono of the most dlsroputablo men In seventeen states, aro doing their utmost ut-most to array ono religious element of tho community against another. They, with an altogether dlsreputablo Mormon, whom Kearns hired, have martlalod tho Gentiles, who aro silly enough to follow them, against tho Mormons. They havo defined tho issues is-sues as Gentile against Mormon. Thoy havo thrown down tho gage of battle. Tho altogether vicious, the knaves and tho fools havo become banded together against tho reputable and sensible Gentiles and tho Mormons Mor-mons as a class. Tho attacking force led by tho worst element of society, is an enemy to tho welfare and progress prog-ress of this city and state. It has already al-ready wrought incalculable pecuniary injury and tarnishment of reputation to Salt Lako and Utah. It is an enemy to all that Is noble, to all that is truo, to all that is of good report, to all progress, material, Intellectual and moral. Tho vicious elements MADAME EMMA EAMES 1 havo combined and aro determined to saddle their grafting and altogether pornlclous rule on this city. It Is tho duty of all law-abiding, decent people to use their utmost endeavor to kill this viper, this rattlesnake that has sprung up among us. Men should support that which will kill tho reptllo. Unless those opposed to this demon, which seeks to array ltsolf In tho livery liv-ery of hoavon, concontrato their efforts tho viper will prevail. If wo wroto columns and columns on tho subject wo could not say more. Concentration of tho opposition, tho decent, Intelligent peoplo, Is tho only salvation for tho city and tho state. & ot Tho "Americans" claim 8,500 In tho next election. Last year they claimed 12,000, but tho count of tho ballots showed that thoy got only 5,500. They may got more this year than thoy did last, but If tho opposition opposi-tion is nlivo to tho situation and tho importance of killing snakes thoy will fall far short of election. |
