Show MISTAKE SO 1 many were the expressions cf surprise heard on the streets yesterday afternoon when people read that dr R PIKE had been selected by the democrats as a candidate to represent the pomplo of the eleventh representative Ee district in the lower house of the next territorial legi lature why he is no more suited to be a legislator than are most farmers of the valley they said albeit they spoke highly of the doctor as a citi zen admitting that he was kind moral and exemplary well up in his profession but illy prepared to legislate for the people THE ENQUIRES tabes a similar view we concede dr PIKES ability as a medical adviser and stand in with the general public that he is an ex citizen and a good man to have in the community but with all due respect we must say that he is not tha kind of a man to help make laws he has not art pared himself for such work we believe the doctor realizes this him self more than any one else should he be asked today as to his ability as a lawmaker law maker we dare wager a hat that ho would acknowledge his in competency but lie can learn retorts the democrat when tho above bucs are mentioned to him very true but it is an expensive school in which to learn few men are sent to legislative halls and paid five dollars u day simply to prepare themselves to properly serve their constituents the legislator who represents the eleventh district in the next session of tho legislature must le a worker from the very start or op sto our progress will do more than remove the district court to nephi or some other southern settlement we will get left from the very beginning unless we have a man in the lower house who knows his business think of sending a bookkeeper book keeper from one of our stores to the ins ine asylum to give medical treatment to the many unfortunate persons found there we might repe it with as much propriety as our democratic friends answer in dr PIKES behalf that ho could learn yes he could learn bat what dire results might happen while he is learning THE is not a boliver bol iyer in the eternal fitness of things but we do believe that a man can be wholly ic competent to fill a position |
