Truth says this with full knowledge and appreciation of the powers vested in the county attorney to cause arrests and prosecute cases and to maliciously harass people by authorizing groundless prosecutions, as in the cases instituted against Fern Strom and Cottrell. - h I 1 i'i.

It is true that the childish efforts of Assistant County Attorney Dana T. Smith in trying a case in the police court are pathetic. There are some things done which dont look well to the public. For instance, Mr. Westervelt, in his efforts to please his master, Senator Kearns, gave out that if he were given charge of the grand jury he would see that those accused of polygamy were indicted regardless of the evidence, and further, that if the grand jury proved obdurate and refused to indict he would file informations against and issue warrants for the arrest of the alleged polygamists after the grand jury had adjourned. To carry out Senator Kearns campaign against the seating of Senator Smoot waked, for the purpose of coercing the church into supporting Kearns, it was considered vital to have a lot of people indicated for polygamy for .the effect it would have in the east. Another thing that has an ugly look about it is that Assistant City Attorney Schulder should be the attorney defending parties charged with crimes and being prosecuted by Assistant County Attorney Smith. There may be no venality in this, but it has an ugly look. It does not look well either for Police Judge Diehl and Assistant County Attorney Smith to be associated together as partners in the practice of law. Jit Recent developments in regard to the office of county attorney have confirmed the statements made by Truth that Senator keams and his machine controlled, or was seeking to control every branch of the state, county and muncipal governments. It goes to support the allegations that the attempt to place George A. Sheets at the head of the police department was a conspiracy to bring that departs The ment into the Kearns line-uKearns machine is also reaching out with a view of laying its hands on the judiciary. If this thing is not stopped, the lives, the property and the liberties of the people will be in the hands of a ruffian who passed under the alias of Williams at Park City for years, but who, in later times, is called Senator Kearns. This scheme to enable Kearns to control absolutely was, of course, concocted by his importation, Perry S. Heath, a professional politician. The methods savor strongly of those in vogue in the postoffice at Washington a few years ago, and all the lines converge to the office of Mr. Heath. In all probability there will be a meeting of local Democrats during the coming week, at which lime the ,ues-toin of what the party shall do in relation to the coming campaign will be dispassionately discussed by those in attendance. Just where this gathering will assemble, or who will be present. Truth is unable to say, but that those who have been prominent in the councils of the party will be there to offer suggestions is' evident. That the Democrats are intending to make no great fight is evident, because nearly every one who has been consulted has given it as his opinion that until conditions change there is no need of making any effort At electing a ticket. There is a division of opinion as to the best method $f procedure, some favoring adjourning' the convention without nominating a ticket, and others standing for the .nomination of a complete set of a city officers and making no effort to elect them further than having their names placed on the official ballot. The advocates of the former plan include among their number such men as W. H. Dale and Judge King, while . the latters advocates are numerous. Speaking of the last mentioned scheme, Jerrold R. Ietcher, who, as a Missourian, must needs be a Democrat says if the party does not nominate a ticket, it will lose its standing and will have to get on the official ballot next . . dyed-in-the-wo-ol, time by petition; that the organization would suffer and he thinks it would be best to place a ticket in the field. The J These things are published, not towards with any malice or Mr. Nye, Mr. Westervelt or any others mentioned, but solely because Truth believes the situation is becoming intolerable, and the people should be informed of the true status of affairs. If the statements made in this article and in previous issues of Truth are not true, there are plenty of grounds for libel suits, criminal and otherwise. Truth would like nothing better than a full investigation, knowing that its position is impregnable. lution stating in substance that OUtlM BEE). condi- tions are such in Salt Lake City that the Democrats have no chance to win, no matter how excellent a set of men they may select as nominees nor how poor a class the others might agree upon. They will cite the change of politics in the Third ward last fall as an instance of political manipulation by those in authority and will also cite indivdiufl distance of improper mjefins used. All these matters will be discussed informally and without restraint and it is very probable that whatever the meeting agrees upon will be brought before the convention very forcibly by the ablest speakers the organization has at its command. It is thought that the meeting will be held some time along about Thursday evening. J J Whatever may be the result of the Democratic ' action in convention assembled individual members are having busy times of it creating trouble for Republicans whenever possible. George T. Odell is about the most likely candidate for may cm1 on the Republican ticket at this time, but has shown some indecision about allying himself with either the Keanus or the faction. Mr. Odell has several friends in the Democratic party and recently consulted some of them regarding a course of conduct to pursue. He was informed by these wicked Democrats that the .best thing he could do would be to climb into the Kearns band wagon, grab a horn and go to tooting it. Of course one can readily see what these Democrats desire; they want Odell to ally himself anti-Kear- ns Krugs Cabinet nutritious as any English Porters or Malt Tonics, and a Connoisseur's delight.

Speaking of Keams, it is stated on what apepars to be very authentic information that a new Richmond is preparing to enter the political field In the person of State Senator A. B. Lewis of Beaver, who will shy his castor in the ring when next the legislature convenes. Inasmuch as the new candidate has a barrel of. his own, which, though not so large as Toms, will be assisted by the barrels of associates, there is likely to be a very interesting campaign ahead. More especially if Salisbury and McCoralck, two other gentlemen with barrels, should conclude to get in and make a real lively of it.

It is spoiling on the hands of the manufacturers and rather than run It down the sewer, where it belongs. It is sent to Utah and palmed off on reputation instead of quality. While singling out no particular brand, we can truthfully state that the greater portion of imported beers comes within that category. Now, we are in position to offer the beer consuming public the finest quality of lager beer ever produced in the west a pure, wholesome tonic, at no advance in price over the inferior brands. We do this to convince the public that Utah can manufacture as fine a quality of beer as can be produced anywhere in the United States. Every day strangers traveling through our city, drink the beer of the Salt Lake City Brewing Co. and pronounce it superior to any they can find, either east or west of us. We deliver to any address in the city at 12.60 per case of two dozen quarts, case and bottles to be called for when empty, and wo pride ourselves on prompt delivery, so do not fall to telephone your orders to No. 17, We can also furnish, on very short notice, from five to ten oars per day of both bulk and bottled beer. ill-feeli- ng Sak.lt Ldike City Brewing Company JACOB MORITZ, General Manager I KRUGS deopponents of the scheme, however, nomiclare that the best course is to nate no one, but simply adopt a reso- p.
