Show POPULAR ORGANIZATION. Salt Lake CrTV, Sep't. 9, 1S74. Editors Herald: ... Your editorial article in this morning's morn-ing's issue presents a subject to ti;c citizens of Utah, which is of such importance im-portance that more than a passing thought should be given to it. There has not been the necessity of political organization in years that are gone by, because the people had such implicit im-plicit confidence in their neighbors that they could trust any oneol them, aul scarcely had a preference or ehoice for one more than another to fill the official positions of our Muni-, cipal, County and Territorial organizations; organi-zations; but now the matter is eonie-wUt eonie-wUt oLmuged. lor men eager for ollicc who have no particular interest in. the welfare of the uummuuity, are turning every straw and pushing every plank to get into position, hence, with the known chicanery and filibustering of politicians, we must have organizations to meet and destroy de-stroy such chicanery and small trickery trick-ery incidental to ail elections. We have a " People's Central Committee" Com-mittee" that issued circulars and acted in a committee's capacity a: the last election. Let them still a;'. pro teni., call meetings to organize in each school district, and get the machinery in working order, that when our next election approaches primary meetings may be held, delegates dele-gates informed and empowered to represent their districts in a mass meeting of such delegates, a permanent perma-nent central committee there oryan-izd, oryan-izd, nominations made, and .'a cl-.-ar track open for concerted action upon the basis of representation ot and by tne people all around. This is our necessity for first st-'ps to safety. The people will then take hold and make themselves safe against the filibustering of their opponenle, and the results will be that where the "ring" party now havo ehauc.-s of crowing over informalities in "IV-o-ple's" elections, the people will be able to show the galaxy of represen-tatives represen-tatives of their wishes that the c. milling mi-lling ol "liberals" will he cut ofl and j thir futile eltorte so badly discomfited j that they may learn a little gid sense about the political feelings of the inidents ot Utah- Such men uw I Baskin, Maxwell, et al, will some day, by this means, feel so small in Utah's "cheek" enough to insult the people j by flaunting llu-ir names and assiug' tor their suffrage; Mid why should not the u?ps be Liken now, ii stead oi' wailing until tney get some difLince ahead of uo by trickery, when we will be driven to uo what we ought tn rin now by voluntary action organ iz11 and deleat them at every pint their degrading experience in political logrolling log-rolling has taught them.
