Show The Trouble WitL the Republican Party Bingham Bulletin. Tho liberal use of the muck rake among the Republicans of Salt Lake coilnt? has stirrod up a stench that will scarcely blow away before the people go to tho polls next November. The rotlennoss of tho gang In control of the party machlno Is evident from the disclosures now being made and the hurling back and forth of accusations, and It muat result In one of two things tho overthrow of the coterie which 15 now dragging the party to disgrace, or the defeat of the Republican State ticket at the next election. If at tho primaries soon to be held In Salt Lake county, tho rascal3 are turned down and kicked out, a reorganization can bo effected that will stand for pnrty principles, and not private graft. And at the coming strugglo botweon honest Republicans and tho gang machine there promlGes to be a volcanic disturbance) that threatens to put tho Judgo "fixers" and public office grafters deep beneath the eori. In Bingham, this ond of tho county is at tho mercy of Republican crooks and grafters who havo for years dominated public affairs solely to the end that their own pocketo might be fattened. No ono will admit that control of th Republican party should bo In tho hands of oolf-confessod thieves and petty lar-cenlsts; lar-cenlsts; men who wero forced to admit they had pilfered the pennlOG of Iho taxpayers; tax-payers; men who for moro than a year stole water from the public system for their own use, while they mudo the poor widow woman and the miner pay for theirs; men who would otoop no low as to attompt to steal a brass coupling from the town of Bingham; mon who have preyed upon the poor and helpless for a scoro of years thoy should not bo allowed to control the political affairs of Bingham district. Can any one say that the Bingham grafters ever did anything for the good o tho town? Can any one point to a single act of theirs In twenty years that was not to the end that their fat purses would bo further swelled, and In most Instances at the cost of the poor unfortunate unfor-tunate who was In a position to be ' squeezed by them? I Even the most ardent defenders of the Bingham grafters, thoso wh'o feel compelled com-pelled to side with the wrongdoers because be-cause of long acquaintance, will not trust themselves In business dealings with the crooks; no, thoy go far away to buy their wares so as not to be placed at the mercy df their friends whom, while they are defending, they know to be unscrupulous In every walk of life. The Republican party Is dominant In Salt Lake county and In the State, and In the Interests of lt3 success the Salt Lake City and the Bingham town party crooks should be relegated to everlasting everlast-ing obscurity, and If they are not, a different dif-ferent story will be told at the polls In Novcmbor. |
