| Show VERY FUNNY Following is a copy of an interesting communication com-munication received by a Kuntleinau of this city a day or two ago Of course tho name is withheld SALT LAKE CITY Nov 141689 DEAR SIR Please remit 825 on account of City I Liberal committee Money needed now The election will be lost or won during registration and that is now in progress Yours truly O J IIOLUsni Secretary Fmaace Committee We like this There is some style about it There is business in it True it is somewhat dictatorial and is suggestive of bossism but that is all right Money is needed it is neededp d q and the lecessi tiesare such that there is neither modesty nor hesitancy in the matter of asking for the cash and for the exact amount required re-quired The city assessor and collector could not be more definite or exacting Then again we must admire the frankness frank-ness which confesses that the election will be won or lost during the registration This admission explains why the registrars all rank Liberalsarc working so industriously in-dustriously early and late to list the names of Liberals and arc equally earnest and energetic in their efforts to avoid enrolling en-rolling members of the Peoples party It also explains why the courts are being appealed ap-pealed to to prevent the naturalization and consequent registration of Peoples party men The Liberals are not going to make their fight as other partisans do at the polls where majorities triumph but are doing their fighting before the battle opens They want money to help them with their peculiar pe-culiar kind of campaigning money to pay for the naturalization of Liberal aliens money to p ly lawyers for interfering with the registration of Peoples voters money to pay the wages of miners and railroad hands while they are coming to Salt Lake and getting their names on tho registration list money to maintain gangs of colonists from outside counties and neighboring states money for all crooked schemes known to crooked political manipulators The campaign is bringing out some very funny things among them this one of levying levy-ing assessments on Liberals and compelling tho poor fellows to pony up under pain of certain dire penalties Another amusing amus-ing thing is the Liberal leaders yell about Peoples colonizing operations the Liberals all the while maintaining an organized colonization bureau through which men from distant places are provided with employment em-ployment during tho registration which is now in progress New and funny things are coming out every day |
