All fill have at heart tho Interests of tho little HI bovs and girls who will soon be tho active HIlU agents of Salt Lake's future. HlnJH It Is a monstrous plan which has been III lald by tho Deserct News and by tho 111 sycophants of tho church leaders. That IFIM plan Is nothing moro nor less than a mcr-HHil mcr-HHil rcnary desire to bo In power so as to 1Kb divert public school funds Into cceloslastl- in cil and commercial channel?.

MB It is believed that tho plan of Editor Pen- IIH roso and the Deseret News to elect a H board that will comply with every request HI of the lertders of the church, will fall bo- HH causo it Is the boldest and most daugor- IH ous yet attempted. UM It must not bo forgotten that the Des- HH erct Nows first suggested the fusion of Mm Democrats and Republicans It Is the work of a crafty man or the product of III a number of crafty men. Tho plan was HI promulgated by Apostle Penrose, nnd Is I being organized by those who owo polltl- IH cal. business or church allegiance to the HBV ruling authorities. If it wins, then a sevens blow has been struck at Salt Lake, because the fact will K bo heralded that the public schools aro In tho control of the dominant church. And ! the announcement will be true, Shall such a result follow the election IHI on December 11 IH Next week tho Secretary of State, the Slate Auditor and tho Attorney-General UH will betfn the canvass of the votes of IEH the several counties for all candidates, Hi I'xcluslvo of thoso that wcro voted for HV for duties exclusive to tho counties. Bjnjj That Is to say, tho Presidential electors, nj Stato and Judicial voles will bo can- vasBCd, together with thoso of Joint Sen- ntorlal districts. The worlt will require Homo time. Several county official returns make no nolo of Socialist or American votes. It is believed that boards refused to count anything but Democratic and Republican Re-publican votes. If this Is true The Tribune Tri-bune will be pleased to hear from nny elector whose voto was not recorded and such a communication. If it is desired, will bo held as strictly confidential.
