Show VOUNU I TAFI. The Herald yesterday morning contained con-tained a long plea iu behalf of young Utah. It maintained that young Utah had been suubbed by the Liberal convention con-vention because a young man, Mr. Kimball, who was born in this territory, terri-tory, was defeated for the nomination for the office of recorder. The Herald said: At Monday's I.I benil convention a Vtah bora uiun was a candidate for an office presumed to be worth oracthln(? to tho holder; his competency compe-tency could wit be called In question; he il able, honest and honorable, and he stands so hljili In the community that nobody con assail him; but he Is one ot Young Utah, hence the Liberals have no use (or him. He can vote with the party and employ his influence to induce in-duce his youuK friends and associates to do tho same, but when tt conies to office-holding that Is im entirely different matter. Not many of Young Utah hava been lured away by tempting but false promises, and some of those have placed their trust In Liberal Lib-eral pledges have had their eyes opened and are regretting that they permitted themselves to be deceived. A few more Liberal conventions conven-tions where L'tah-born young men are snubbed snub-bed for no other reason than that they are Utah-hum. and the young man who confesses himself a Liberal will be a curiosity. It is truo that Mr. Kimball is a popular popu-lar young mau. The strength that ho showed in the convention is conclusive evidence of that fact. But that he was "snubbed" because he was a Utah born mau is not true. JNor is it truo that he was snubbed at all. He went into the convention and made a gallant fight, but was defeated. And we believe that ho takes his defeat like a man, and will work ami rote for the Liberal ticket. But the Liberal convention did ree-cognize ree-cognize young Utah, tho Herald to the contrary notwithstanding, by nominating nominat-ing for tho important ollice of assessor a well known young man, Mr. A. J. Lynch, who was born in Salt Lake city thirty years ago. Mr. Lynch is a popular pop-ular and highly esteemed' citizen, and is an excellent representative of young Utah. |
