Show i M t IT DON'T WOnK. Wo npver did believe much In so-called so-called non-parilsnnl$m, and during the pust wvi'k au occurrence has taken place In the county which clinches our disbelief lu the principle. It Isn notorious fact' that no munlcl. pal, or even school, eleullon was ever huld on a non-partisan basis, tho re suit of which ciitUflfd the pnop'o or w In-re tho principle of non-parilsanlsm cut nny figure' with tbo'oftlcers after tliey, were fleeted. Wo huvo glaring proofs of this fuel lioth f'lim Salt Lake and hole lu, Provo. Non-partlsatilsm may bu nil right In theory but lu practice prac-tice it Ib a failure. This opt-clal In.slanco wo refor to above Is the school election Monday at Sprlitgvlllo. Here parties agreed on u iioii-pariig:iu uIhciIoii. The Democrats wuntloto tho election on that binds und supported thu candidate of tho citizens' mass meeting. Roi ubllcans however worked a clover (?) scheme and sprung a party candidate at tho last moment. Owing to the fact that pt-ople do not turn out well at this clitss ot elections, tho Republican scht'ino succeeded nnd the candidate of that party was successful. In summing up this examplo of Republican Re-publican treachery and bad falih, R-p re.vntatlvu Roylunco of Sprlngvll o says: "Had wo hnvo had but ono day's notice no-tice wo could have called a democratic primary, selected u candidate, check ma ted the whole game ard curried the election as usuul. Hercafier, as long as I have anything to do with politics In Sprlngvlilo, 1 will not fur ono mo-men, mo-men, consider any uon-paitlsan proposition propo-sition from whatever source It may e ml naif, It must bo a Ktralghtnut, clean cut, patty line-up, nnd the Democrats Dem-ocrats of Sprltmrlllu will sink or swim on their ovn principles and with party colors flying.- Absolutely bo dependence depend-ence eau be placed on any Republican profession of noii-parlliftulnin. This Instance Is but n repetition of what bus occurred all ovor ihe state In the last two or thrco years." Wo trust tbu Democrats all over tho county and slate will do likewise; that In fuiuro flections they will stick to their party hud allow no opportunity for such treachery In tho fuiuro. |
