Show Winning Ticket Is Selected IBy By the Republicans of Utah 1 I HE enthusiasm displayed b by the Republican I T I state convention yesterday the thc temper of ot tho the delegates the keen struggles between the thc i various candidates for tor places on the tho ticket would j be an infallible indication that Utah Is in the Republican Republican Re Re- publican column as ag usual even if ir the character of the men who were chosen as the thc standard bearers of ot the party were not riot such as to guarantee success From the head of ot the tho ticket down through the list to to- the last name thereon the material from which the electors of Utah will choose their officialdom Is I 1 of ot the best Utah has the Republican habit and it itcan itcan 1 can find no excuse in the results of the keen koen rh rivalry J. J in yesterdays yesterday's s convention to deviate from its fL fixed cd custom This commonwealth has no rio desire to browno in strange pastures The injunction to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good is tho the rule of life j in this state and its people do not depart from it It The They consider the lamp of experience as the only safe guide the past as the only safe index of the future Tire The lure Jure of ot the untried d of the unknown has lIas never found fertile field for tor its fascinations in Utah The homely adage anent the of swapping horses In the midst of the tho stream Is a a. bitof bitof bit bitof of pungent advice that the people of or this state have f b been en accustomed omed to heed r I I t The national policies of ot the time Republican p party have contributed to the prosperity of Utah to an extent that would keep the commonwealth In the tho Republican column even if it the local nominations I made b by the party were not as good as ns they ought to be But it jt is a matter for the pride of oC ever every Republican and worth worthy his loyal Joyal support that the candidates whom his party will 11 present to the time people for tor their approval in November are ale such as need 1 I no general matter of party pert policy to carr tarry carry them to victory the they can wc well go before the electorate upon their own merits and feel reel confident of or tho the outcome The sharp contests In yesterdays yesterday's convention In Jn themselves es bespeak a a. victot victory at the polls this fall Men do not strive with their whole souls for that which Js is like likely to be of ot no value to them when thc they once secure it they do not spend their time and their energy In vigorously battling with their opponents opponents I for honors which ma may prove to be empty they I do not exhaust their resources s In keen riyal rivalry unless there is a a. certainty that the he goal is worth the tho while I The condition which promoted the energetic contest contests con con- conI I tests test was the definite knowledge e that the real contest contest contest con con- test for public office was being held h-eld yesterday an and that the general election eJection of oC November oember will be little tittle littlemore littlemore more than a ratification of what hat this convention may maydo do Confident that the Republican

prison seven seen convicted m mur ur- ur R Record one after of another were Marders Murders put to death the countr country shuddered The e execution of one man or even two would have attracted attention but Illogical a as It undoubtedly the was public could not but bur feel that In the time legal legaJ cold blooded killing of ot seven zeven a a. butchery had taken place Yet what Is the other side of or the case The statistics gathered by the American Prison Association tion sho show that tha in the thc United States Including Its dependencies thirty persons are murdered every day In the city of ot New York during the month of J July ly there was a killing r every ery day During Tul July m last year In the tho same city there thore were unlawful I homicides In London which ha has hM a 3 population more than half halt again as large as New York there were only nineteen murders in Tul July last year Chicago in 1909 and killings hillings as against twenty for London ondon 3 a city over O three times as large Jarge The Tile cause of othis this disparity p is not that more liquor is consumed in proportion to population in the cities of ot this c country than In London Government statistics statistics statis statis- tics show that the contrary is true There Is only one possible explanation In England the laws lawn are enforced as rigidly and promptly as possible and without regard to persons or political pull I It is exceedingly difficult for tor a man who sla slays s another 4 to escape capture and when caught he Is quickly convicted and the penalty of ot his crime Is Inflicted on him The laxness of or law enforcement in this country particularly upon those guilty of murder I Is 80 so great and general that It constitutes a national scandal fr Public sentiment In favor of or abolishing capital punishment Is undoubtedly growing The ghastly record Just made in New York will give it new force and volume But unless unless' I there Is a vet very radical t change for the tho better in the enforcement of or the law the doing awa away with the time death penalty will surely sw swell n the country's annual murder record to proportions proper
