Show TRIBUNE DROPS ITS LOCAL PARTY MASK Either refuse to vote for members of the legislature who will vote to return retura Sutherland to the Senate vote against them or vote for members of the legislature who will not support the man who has betrayed you your Jour ballot against Howell or refrain from voting A vote for Howell is a vote to add ald to the burden of life for yourself and for everyone else He has h s done absolutely nothing for Utah From Prom the Salt Lake Tribune yesterday morning The organ of the deal has hag at l last It st thrown off its mask and is openly supporting the Democratic ticket Apparently it has de do decided demised that the time has come como to get actively into inh the fight in furtherance of the tho deal it has made with the Democratic loaders in Utah There may have been a few people who may have h ve believed that this deal was not made but it ought to undeceive them A square support for the Democratic can candidates candidates for legislature and the candidate for Congress has been in in prep preparation preparation preparation all the time as a part of the deal whereby of the Demo Democratic cratic aratie vote in Salt Lake county was to be bo turned over to the American ticket After that will anybody believe that Jim Moyle and the tIt th other Dem Bem Democratic leaders are not H supporting the American tI ticket All through its fight against the Republican an party in Utah the Tribune has always held that it was nationally Republican in polities and that it eared cared nothing how ho people voted on congressman as that has nothing lothing to do with the fight here in Utah Two years ago it wanted the Ule Taft Tatt electors on the Tribune ticket so that those members of the American party who believed in the national principle of protection could vote their wish in that respect speet r and still vote for the local Tribune candidates 1 This year however the Tribune does not take that ground It comes out squarely now for the election of a Democratic legislature and for the election of a Democratic congressman Is that attitude pleasing to the Re Republicans Republicans publicans who vote their ticket in a national election and support the Tribune ticket i is local affairs Do these Republicans wish to line up with an organization that is trying to send a Democrat to the United States Senate from Utah anda an and a Democrat to the national Congress 7 Do these Republicans cans who have hao voted tho the ticket for yours years in their home states wish to come cometo cometo cometo to Utah and line up behind tho the Democratic leaders lenders t The real reason why the Tribune demands that a legislature leg t lature shall be chosen that will not reelect George Sutherland is because if some other kind of a legislature is chosen the Tribune can ean name the next But United Status States senator from Utah By a legislature that will not re George Suther Sutherland Sutherland land and of course is meant a n Democratic legislature legi lature for a Republican legis legislature legislature lature will reelect him He deserves reelection and he Be will get it At tho the outset of the present campaign the American party wee was in inthe inthe inthe the hands of Democrats and it was arranged that way wa so that the deal doal could be easily carried through David Dunbar formerly a Ii county Democratic Dem Democratic Democratic chairman was made county manager of the American campaign P J Daly formerly secretary of the Democratic state committee was made manager of the tho American state campaign The party machinery was placed in the hands of Democrats This was done so 10 that it would be much easier to carry out the tho deal It is as plain as the light of day that in return for the support of the Democratic leaders on the tho county ticket commissioners clerk and assessor the tho Tribune is to throw the support of the American party to the legis legislative legislative legislative ticket named by the Democratic county convention Everywhere pos possible possible possible sible trades are being arranged on that basis and they are aro being made on the tho authority of the Tribune county chairman The T American II party is to be delivered bound and gagged to tho the Demo Democrats Democrats for the legislative ticket and the Democratic party is to be delivered hogtied to the American county ticket tick t And the announcement of the Salt Lake Tribune yesterday esterday morning that it comes come out conclusively for the tho Democratic legislative and congressional ticket j ket is prima facie evidence of that deal There were a few words about Sanford the tko American oan candi candidate candidate date for Congress but everybody knows that is for effect because Sanford has hIlS no DO more chance chanco of being elected to Congress than somebody whoso is not on the ticket The contest is between Howell and Erickson and amI the Tribune is openly for Erickson as a part of that deal It has been rumored for months that the Tribune would come out ont as the organ of the Democratic party before the campaign was over and it has done Bonn so I j When the deal donI was first made mado it was agreed by the Democratic leaders loaders that of their strength should go for the American legislative l ticket as well as the county count ticket The Tribune figured at that time that tha it would be able to hold its legislative ticket in line for any candidate i it might name and believed that its legislators l would stand for Democrat Bat But apparently it has found some men on the ticket Republicans in national politics who avowed their intention of supporting a Republican candidate for United States senator senatorE E B Critchlow who was named for state senator senat r by the Tribune county convention told The the night he was nominated that he lIe would vote for Senator Sutherland for reelection Of course coarse the Tribune management knows this and for that reason and on account of others on the ticket a revision of the deal was made It was patent to the Tribune that it could not hold the American legislative logi ticket in line It is patent to the Tribune that there will be two candidates ii for the United States Stat i Senate in the joint session of the legislature One will win be the Republican candidate Senator George Sutherland Tho The Theother other oUter will win be a Democrat A third candidate would world stand no chance of wa waning win winning winning ning and it would be up to the American party legislators either to sup support support support port Sutherland or a Democrat As between the two Sutherland would get gei geithe the votes of most of the Salt Lake county coun Americans As a bitter enu y of Sutherland it was necessary for the Tribune therefore to ditch its own candidates for the tho legislature The deal therefore has been revised and every American vote that can be controlled is to be thrown into the Democratic legislative ticket Critchlow and others who are Republicans nationally and will not vote oto for a Democratic United States senator are thrown to the tho wayside and the Tribune yesterday morning came out openly for the Democratic legislative ticket The appeal has always been made to Republicans to come over oer and vote the American ticket because local affairs had nothing to do with national affairs that the tho church influence in Utah must moat mu t be broken and cand that while they thoy the y might vote ote their ticket nationally they should support the party part of progress in Salt Lake City and county That plea is of dropped The Tribune yesterday morning served notice upon its followers that it had dropped that line of argument and that as 38 the only way to defeat Suther Sutherland Sutherland Sutherland land and Howell Rowen it has lIas gone over to the Democratic camp There are many American party voters oters who thought they were wore doing well for the city by b voting the American ticket they thought that the tho Republican party locally was a party of mossbacks they thought that if the Republican party were to win in the city it would mean that the city would not progress prOgress that there would be no streets improved that there would be no sewers put in and no sidewalks constructed They were honest in their belief and they the voted that way The was that while the Republicans carry the city at a county state and national election the Americans carry the city in a city election This condition has hns so worked upon the feelings of the Tribune management that it firmly finnly believes that it is now able to detach these Republicans from their national party affiliations affiliations affiliations and vote them for a Democratic United States senator and a Demo Democratic cratic ora tie congressman con essman For the me first time in all nIl the years that it has talked of church influence that it i has talked of o the necessity of electing Tribune party men mento mento mento to office here he in m the city for the purpose of seeing that improvements are made the Tribune has thrown off oft the mask It has bos been working quietly all through the present pre ent campaign for the Democratic e candidates for the United States Senate and for Congress Now it has conic come out ont boldly into the tho open It is is not restricting the Tribune party now to 10 local affairs It Itis Itis Itis is dragging it into national affairs It is demanding of the Republicans in inthe inthe the tho American party that they support candidates for the legislature and the Democratic candidate for Congress The appeal printed at the beginning ginning b of this article onu mean nothing else It means that the tho Republicans on the American ticket who are candidates for the legislature have been shelved It means that the is now openly in the field for the Democratic ticket and that it plans to drag draw co the Republicans in its party patty with it The last lost shred of logic upon up n which the Tribune could appeal to Republicans cans to vote ote its ticket has hns gone Any Republican who believes in the Re Republican Republican Republican publican principle of protection might just as well vote the Democratic ticket straight as to vote the American ticket Any voter who cannot see this in the light of the developments of the last few days da s is blind indeed I |
