Show I MORE WATER WE MUST HAYE How Voters Can Make an Adequate Supply a Certainty Only One Ticket by Which to Reach the Desired Results. I "An ndequato water supply, anil that, too, by next summer." That is the .dcflnlto purpose of Republicans Re-publicans In this campaign. This declaration de-claration by William J. Lynch, Republican Repub-lican candidate for Mayor, Is In no uncertain terms. If there Is ono thing suro In political politi-cal administration, It Is that when that party Is In power tho Republican party carries out the projects It adopts. So tho success of tho Republican ticket now moans that Salt Lako will secure a water supply sufficient for municipal munici-pal purposes. Mayor Morris cannot bo rc-electod. lono but misinformed persons, or those who nro inovod by selfish motives, mo-tives, assert to tho contrary. If It had been possible to re-elect Mr. Morris, ho doubtless would havo' continued to make efforts for an Increased water wa-ter supply, although ho would not havo n majority of tho Council from his party to support him; for It is not possible pos-sible at this timo for tho Democrats to securo n majority of tho Council- men to bo elected. Nor Is It possible H to re-elect Mr. Morris. Ho was chosen HH two years ago becauso thousands ot HJ Republicans voted for him. The Re- Hj publicans now havo a candidate of HH their own, whom they are satisfied is H the ablest and best man in tho field Hb for Mayor. Tho so-called "American" enndidate Is against any practicable, economic fl plan for more water. His party stands for graft, not water or honesty. Even HB if he were elected nnd were to be con- H. y' verted to some scheme for more wn- BV. tor, it is not posslblo for his party to flfl secure a majority of tho Council; and If ho were elected we would simply havo two years more of bitter qunr- Hfl rcllng. That is what tho Kcarns gang HI wants; it is what no business man or B property owner can afford, fl Hero Is tho situation on tho Council: B. For tho so-called "American" party flfl to get in control it would havo to dec' flfl eight Councilmcn, by carrying four flfl out of tho five municipal wards. That B is an utter Impossibility. Its leaders Hi are only hoping for two Councilmcn, Hi or ono ward, and they are not likely flj to get anything. HJ For tho Democrats to control the Council, they would havo to elect six members; this thoy cannot do; It is doubtful If they got two members, and HJ they now havo only two holdovers. Hi The Democrats know thoy cannot get HJ control of tho Council. HJ Tho Republicans nro certain to elect HJ six now members, nnd they already HJ have sufficient holdovers to give them HJ a clear majority on nil questions. They HJ aro likely to elect ten now memberu. HJ giving them all but the two holdover BB Democrats. fl Thus Republican control of tho BB Council is assured. HJ What will those who want moro fl water for tho city do? fl Tho Kcarns-"Amcrlcnn" gang, is HI against an increased water supply. HJ Tho Democratic ticket is beaten be- HI yond hopo of even second place. fl Tho Republican ticket is squarely HB and emphatically for "an adequate fl supply of water, and thnt, too, by next fl summer." fl Then, whnt-will senstblo voters who IB Want moro water for tho city do? Hj Thoy will' vote for Lynch for Mayor, flj because, having tho support of tho HJ Council majority within his own party, HJ to election of Lynch means moro HJ Water for tho city. Hfl '.Tho election of tho Republican HH ticket is tho best and only moans at hand by which tho desired result or an ndequato and permanent supply of water for the city can bo assured. These aro tho cold facts, nnj Truth sets them forth pointedly, that every voter may bo fully and fairly Informed and make a deliberate choice. Truth does not forget that some Democrats aro claiming ono day that their ticket will bo elected by Republican Repub-lican votes, and another day by so-callled so-callled "American" votes; but thoy do not clnlm to bo nblo to elect it by Democratic votes, and as thoy cannot ?ot the Republican votes and aro losing los-ing to tho Kearns crowd rather than drawing from them, tho Democratic ticket Is really not in the raco except to hold voters that otherwise would go to tho Republican ticket In the general dcslro to keep out tho Kearns corrupt machine. It Is not saying anything against Mr. Morris to point out that Mr. Lynch Js quite ns well acquainted with tho water question, nnd is ns able a man and has better oxoeiitlvn nhlllfv Minn Mr. Morris. Ho is temperate, careful, upright, and has decisiveness of char-actor, char-actor, with Httlo desire for ostentatious ostenta-tious dfsplny. Mr. Lynch, being born in Utah, has general knowledge of tho water ques Hon and its importance; tho personal ind ofTlcinl experience of Mr. Lynch, throughout tho county as well as in tho city, makes him as fully equipped with special knowledge of the city and county water question as is Mr. Morris. Mor-ris. The Kearns candidate, Mr. Thompson, Thomp-son, is anti-Mormon, anti-water, nnd is absolutely controlled by Tom Kearns. Mr. Lynch's position Is: "Wo must havo moro water than wo havo had. and our supply must bo taken better caro of than before." That is business. It is what the peoplo want. Mr. Lynch also says: "Our streets must bo sprinkled properly, prop-erly, nnd tho city thus bo kept free 'rom dust, if wo would havo a healthy community." That, too, is business, such as the people want. Agnin, ho says: "Tho peoplo must havo water, not only for culinnry purposes, but for their lawns and shrubbery." Straight business again, and tho people's business, too. Moro from Mr. Lynch: "Wo must also keep pressure In our water system to insuro protection from fire." Good business, too, such as tho peoplo peo-plo require. Still moro: "I will uso my utmost endeavors to forward plans to securo an adequate and permanent water supply for all municipal purposes." Senslblo business, that the peoplo shall havo a permanent, adequato wi-ter wi-ter supply. Yet another announcement from tho Republican candidate for Mayor: "In tho expenditure of public monoy I nm willing to take tho public Into my confidence, ns I think it should bo in tho caso of public business." That is doing business with tho people peo-ple nnd for tho people, shutting out all mysterious, dark-lantern schemes. Just ono moro excerpt from Mr. Lynch's declaration of policy: "The securing of an ndequato water supply, and that, too, boforo next summer, sum-mer, is a work of vast importance, it would bo a calamity for Salt Lako City to bo compelled to pass through another famine like that wo havo just experienced." Good business and political sense. Only a man of superior ability, familiar famil-iar with tho situation, and heartily in accord with tho wishes of tho peoplo In regard to tho water situation, can present such practical, forcible and particularly fitting suggestions to meot the present exigency. Truth is ready to do anything that honorable peoplo can do to defeat the dishonest, Immoral, un-American Kearns gang, that is trying to ruin this city and state. To do this, Truth would havo supported sup-ported Mr. Morris with all Its soul, 11 ho had been tho stronger candidate; but it knows absolutely that Mr. Morris Mor-ris cannot bo elected; that ho has no moro chance of succeeedlng in this campaign than has tho Socialist candidate, can-didate, and that a vote for Mr. Morns is virtually a vote for Ez Thompson and the Kearns gang. In tho existing situation, Truth Is trebly gratified to bo able to support, and to Invito every reputable citizen to support, a man so eminently well fitted to deal with tho water question and with all other questions now facing fac-ing tho municipality as William J Lynch, tho candidate for Mayor on tho Republican ticket. Now, to every citizen who wants nn adequato and permanent water supply for Salt Lake City, BEAT THOMPSON WITH LYNCH. It is your only chance to win for Salt Lako and her peace and prosperity. |
