Show amounts of capital have been invested, under the assurance that the same would be safeguarded by the protective tariff as other industries are protected: and we further declare our opposition to any reciprocal policy other than that laid down in the Republican national platform of 1900, which Bays: We favor the associated policy of .reciprocity, so directed as to open our markets on favorable terms for what we do not. ourselves produce in return for free foreign markets. The Tribune shows its dishonesty and at the same time its stupidity in thinking that it can fool all the Republicans of Utah all the time. ft ft It also gave a wonderful exhibition of stupidity in the statement it published as coming from Senator Kearns regard in g his position on the Cuban sugar reciprocity question. It made Senator Kearns say that he believed that there should be no reduction of tariff on Cuban sugar, but. that in order to help out Cuba, the nation's ward, a rebate should be made on the duty on Cuban sugar and that the amount should be appropriated to Cuba out of the United States the treasury, thus assisting Cuba and at inter-est- s . truth. tics arp Democratic, but both are cis gruntled because the Democratic board of county commissioners and the Democratic county officers have awarded the county printing and advertising to a nondescript sheet published at Nephi, and to a job printing office in Utah county. This is said to be true, to a certain extent, in Eureka, the principal camp of Tintic, where the papers are published, and where the entire city administration is Democratic, and both papers have severely criticised the of the council. It is said that the Republicans will be generously supplied with money, end as the advertising columns of newspapers are generally open for legitimate business, it is fair to presume that they will not be slow to take advantage of the conditions. The Democrats have had their own way in the mining districts since 181X5; in the presidential campaign of that year but, seven votes were cast for the Republican candidate. All that has been changed, however, and the normal Democratic majority does not exceed 200. On the east side, where Mr. Grace makes his home, the Republicans have a slight majority, which they expect to ac-ti- on county in respect to an able lawyer for its counsel. Salt Lake county is a large Its property interests corporation. amount to something over fifty millions of dollars. When it has actions with other and lesser corporations, its opponents engage the very ablest counsel to fight their legal battles. Mr. Wester-yelt'- s friends are proceeding on the theory that the people ought to have as learned and able counsel as any other corporation or association and that their friend and candidate is the man for the place. They point with a great deal of pride to the legal record he has made here and the marked success which has attended his practice in the courts of the state. Mr. Westervelt is well known in this city arid county. He has lived here over ten years and during that time he has been a leading citizen. He is a Republican from away back, having been drilled in the doctrines of the faith by a father who knew no other political belief and whose aim was to same time protecting the sugar of the United States. Now that is exactly the position taken by Congressman Sutherland and the other Republicans in congress who voted against the this year, and it seems that their chances for success are' extremely good. Their nominee will almost certainly be I. H. Grace, mayor of Nephi, the county seat. Mr. Grace is prominent in the affairs of the Mormon church, and a popular: man with all classes. From present indications the Democrats will .nominate F. H. Holzheimer, who was a member of the last legislature. Through disaffection in the ; party.; ranks, Mr. Holzheimer's majority two years ago was way below the rest of the ticket. , This feeling has subsided to a great 'extent, however, and unless the strife;, for county offices awakens it,- the Democrats have a very good chance to elect their entire ticket. There is one thing that will militate against them: the vote in the mining camps on the west side has fallen off materially, due to a shut down of some of the mines a year ago. The people who have returned to work will not be able to vote there this year. As the Democratic strength comes from the mining towns, this will operate in The only favor of the Republicans. papers that have any influence in poli 1 another and a better newspaper here, which will be done sooner perhaps than the management is aware. Bnt when the time does come how the boys will rap the sheet for past derelictions. Right now, when everything is chaos with the Democracy, the paper could save the party from a tremendous walloping by simply falling into line. One blast from the bugle would be all required. The crowd would flock together in no time. But one need not cock his ear for the rallying cry. It will not be given.
