Show and the triumph of the great living principles of Republicanism are as certain cer-tain as the sunrise on the 8th of November. JOSEPH L. RAWLINS. Tha Democratic candidate for congress con-gress is Joseph L. Rawlins, as foreshadowed fore-shadowed in yesterday's Times. Mr. Kawlins is au able man. He is a clean mau. He is fitted by character and ability to worthily represent Utah in congress. TnE Times will not descend to tho contemptible subterfuge of saying say-ing that Jok Rawlins is a weak man cr a bad man. It does not follow the example of its Democratic neighbor. Tho election of Mr. Kawlins would be a far-reaching calamity to the people of this territory. It would do infinite damage to those great material interest.-! which sustain our people today and whose future growth and development must add to our wealth, population and power hereafter. There is one thing that can be said in Mr. Rawlins' favor, in addition to what has already been said. lie has the courage of his convictions. He stood up in the county convention the other day and said, "Who's afraid of free trade ? Kvery man who has the instincts in-stincts of freedom loves it." He is a braver man than Grovir Clf.veland, who attempts to apologize for hia party's platform and to deceive the people peo-ple into thinking that he is cot a freetrader free-trader at hoart. Joe Rawlins is a free trader through and through. He would go to Washington Wash-ington to use his influence to take the duty off of wool and lead, and to expose every industy we have and every industry in-dustry wa want to the merciless competition com-petition of pauper labor in foreign countries. So we say hia eleotion would be a calamity. The next delegate will be Frank J. Cannon or Joseph L. Rawlins. He will stand for protection or for free trade. His election will mean prosper-Sty prosper-Sty or disaster so far as Utah's voice is potential. The issue is squarely drawn and nobody can mistake its meaning. .This is the proposition. And we be- prs thai Frank J. Cannon' election -. ' ' ' |
