Show REPUDL CAN DELEGATES The delegates to the constitutional I convention nominated by the Republicans Repub-licans in this city and county Wednesday Wednes-day night are a disappointment While some of those named are well qualified for the work of the convention they are few in number while the great majority arc not at all qualified The party has not put up its best men and this will generally be conceded The work of the constitutional convention demands that the very best men in the territory should do it and it is the duty of both political parties to see that none but their ablest men are sent to it inc Republicans nave not I sensed this duty Some of the gentlemen gentle-men named by them will most likely be elected but unfortunately they will not be from those precincts that have put up the strongest menThe men-The nominations of the Republicans should make It more clear than ever to the Democrats that It is an imperative impera-tive duty on their part that they place their best men in nomination If small men with big ambitions present themselves at the primaries or conventions conven-tions as candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention put them aside and place in nomination only the best The test to be applied in the selection of the delegates should be capacity and capacity alone The constitutional convention will have no offices to divide no patronage to distribute dis-tribute but it will have to make the constitution of the state of Utah and as it Is made so will our destinies be more or less shaped for the greatest or the least good If the people are to have the best constitution that can be made by them then It must be done by the best men of the community commun-ity and when either party falls to put in nomination such men for delegates to form that constitution it asks the people to do that which Is against their best interests when It asks them to vote for them The Democrats of Salt Lake City and county and the entire en-tire territory should put their ablest men up as candidates for delegates and if this is done there need be no fear but that they will have a majority ma-jority in the constitutional convention |
