I What Is troubling the politicians y most at this time, paittcularly the Amerlcins, Is whether or not tho La- y bor people are going to put a ticket jl In the field. Truth pointed out a good K while ago that the action of the labor- He wculd have a very Important bear- ji Ing on the result of tho election. Last ij autumn tho American party was al- ' most the solo beneficiary of tho laboi , vote. Tho railroad employes voted J that ticket almost solidly, so did a 1 great many members of tho various labor unions. If tho laborers put up JP i J a ticket of their own this fall It will ij , jbe a very severe blow to tho Amerl- j cans, henco'tho anxiety of that party B I to form a coalition with tho laborltes I and also tho solicitude of tho Repub- I llcans and Democrats to 'Insure tho 1 laborltes going It on their own ac- I count. Tho local laJor organizations I at a meeting held a week ago practi- 1 cally decided to put up a ticket of I their own, and to hold a mass con- S, ventlon to nominate candidates about R' the end of tHls month. Since then the fj' Americans have been using all the a wiles and blandishments at their H command to induce the labor leaders to change tho plan, whllo tho Ropubll- I' cans and Democrats havo been on- J1 couraging them not to bo swerver iKAif Sig5?'fcni . ' it----- - llfflar.'-.-...rtiJStf' If&V Ai r'-r-r j. . - from their purpose. " How It will como cut remains to be seen. The anti-Americans realize that if 'he Republicans and Democrats stick to their tickets, the Americans will tand a good show of carrying Salt Lake county. It may very likely come out as It did last fall, when the Americans Amer-icans slid In between the other two nrtles. A crusado Is on by the Re-ublicans Re-ublicans and Democrats, each party rylng to convince the public that It 's the stronger and the one with which to beat the Americans. The Americans havo a big load to -.arry In the shape of the present city idmlnlstratlon, which has gained a eputatlon for graft and extravagance, t Is ninnlng the city into debt every lay. When their present term of of-Ice of-Ice expires the bond money will be 11 gone and at tho present rate of xpenditure tho city will be a quarter nf a million In debt besides. The tax payers don't like the prospect any more than they liked tho advance In taxes made In July. Arthur J. Caron, a laborlte, may be a candidate for the lower house of the legislature on the "American" ticket. H. P. Mason and Joe Cohen are mentioned as probable legislative can-Udates can-Udates on tho "American" ticket. Rulon S. Wells and John Dern are considered good legislative candidates by tho Democrats. S Michael Mauss of Murray, a Democrat, Demo-crat, wants to be sheriff of Salt Lake county. Angus McKcllar Is seeking the nomination nom-ination for county recorder from the, "Americans." Former Mayor Morris may be a candidate on the Democratic ticket for county commissioner. Mr. Morris has at nil times been a wonderful vote getter. Hi Jj,tvvli. 'ii..r.feg; Republican Stato Chairman Hammond Ham-mond maintained his reputation for sound judgment and good sense In the personnel of tho executive committee he appointed. They are O. J. Salisbury, Salis-bury, S. H. Love, George N. Lawrence, Law-rence, James Chrlstlanson, Fred C. Jensen, A. T. Wright and Wesley K. Walton. If the Republicans can't win with that committee, saltpeter couldn't save them. J J Tho Americans hold their conventions conven-tions Friday and Saturday, both too late for Truth to handle In this Is- I sue. I C. E. Murks, who was In the Into I legislature on tho Republican side, I may be a candidate again for that position. I J I State Senator W. N. Williams will I In all" llkelyhood bo a candldato for I re-election. Mr. Williams is a staunch I Republican and has already deserved I well of his country. I |
