Show VOL. SLT 4; No. 3. LAKE CITY, UTAH, SEPTEMBER How long would the new party movement last if Kearns and his millionaire friends should withdraw their support? Wkat ike New Party Means The socalled American party ' has been organized, at least the indications are that it has, but the forces and the men behind it are not such as the people have confidence in. The meeting at the Grand theatre on Wednesday night at which the new party, the K. Ks, was born as the Tribune says was large, but not a large percentage of those there w'ere in sympathy with the movement. The most the new party can do is to endanger the success of the Republican ticket. It is lead by Republicans who have received and are receiving honors and emoluments from the Republican party. They are ingrates who bite the hand that feeds them. The K. K.s of course will draw a few democrats. There are plenty of fools in the Democratic as well as the Republican ranks. The sensible patriotic men of both parties however should unite in eradicating this excrescence which as the result of spleen and disappointment, has appeared on the body politic. Its hard to believe that men of sense and judgment can be fooled and deceived by the tricksters who conceived and are promoting the new organization dk The K.

I am supporting the Republican ticket I worked too hard twelve or thirteen years ago to organize in Utah the Republican party, the party which gives the best government in the world, to desire to participate as one of its executioners.
