Show PROCEED BY LAWFUL METHODS The endeavors of some hotheaded partisans to involve the people of Utah in unprofitable strife we believe will prove to be futile Democracy and Republicanism Re-publicanism have been struggling for supremacy and wherein they have resorted re-sorted to legitimate methods the contest con-test is all right But what is proposed now by certain Republican agitators is all wrong They want to see unlawful means used to effect a parttisan purpose Every rational person of either party should quietly but emphatically sit down on such attempts It is natural that we should want our part to win it wbnld be shameful to ifery to gain the victory by force Thatt would be about as bad asan effort to gain it by fraud The position taken by some folks worked up to it by some Republican I papers appears to be that whatever I the precinct canvass has declared must i be taken as final That all the canvassing canvass-ing board for the entire returns have to do is to count up what the others have dose and declare the result That is to say they are only to perform a sum Sn simple addition announce the totals and close up business If anything is done by way of investigation so as to determine the respective rights of candidates can-didates as they may be affected by the returns the defeated persons are exhorted ex-horted to do something not exactly defined de-fined but understood to be belligerent and revolutionary and the people are incited to join in and stand by them in what they do Now all that is merely incendiarism and bombast It is very Wild and wicked wick-ed advice The law provides a remedy for every wrong that rimy have been done or attempted and it 5s only by legal methods that the rights claimed by either party should be fought for We have nothIng to say against anything any-thing of that kind from any person who claims to have suffered wrong The Herald favors and will favor full investigation into every alleged impropriety im-propriety connected with the election It wMl aid in the exposure and punishment punish-ment of corruption in election affairs It will do its part 4n securing the nrighte of every candidate Irrespective of his politics or creedAnd it will be I found on the side of law and order and not of riot and popular fury I We invite the attention of our blustering blus-tering contemporaries who are
