Show protection the issue republicans carried utah on the principles n of protection and bounty in the past it was the peoples love of home industry that asserted itself and turned the fidelin tide in favor of the party ofero of progress on the silver question we all saw eya to eye both parties were tumbling over each other to say go good od things in favor of the white metal there could be no di discussion on oa the question because there was no difference of sentiment A difference must exist before there can be debate but there were no two sides to the silver question in utah as past platforms of the parties will indicate this year the weak points ir ic the demo democratic batic doctrine are their free trade theories and they would will angly hide their faults by relegating view the indefensible tariff policy and talk about silver as the paramount issue and by their platform m promise though but litte dependence can be placed in it democrats will promise anything for office they have the logical position in public debate if republicans confess that silver is is the paramount issue as senator can non and the tribune are doing it simply brings the people down to a choice between men judge king and mayor holbrook for example are both on the same platform with reference to silver and if that be the only live issue then the voters will simply have to deermont which is the better qualified for congress in the past the people of utah have not been placed in that predicament but they voted purely for principle 0 E allen alien for instance was personally very objectionable to many in the party but he stood for the principles protection and bounty which the people wanted to see triumphant and they elected him b by y a good majority this year we want to see the campaign conducted along the lines of principle and the political doctrine that has always been pop ular in utah since the days of the pioneers and will continue to win win is protection to home industries if republicans forsake that side issues they are hopelessly lost their candidate for congress this year in his interview in a salt lake newspaper seems to sense the situation he was asked I 1 will you decline to vote for protection until silver is recognized no was the answer trieko might be ba cases in which I 1 it Is 13 a serious question and another one in which hi ch I 1 would have to be governed by air c a stances that I 1 consider consid cr ailor var the paramount issue there is ig no on should such a quest question 0 n confront in me I 1 would study it earnes earnestly aly and honestly and abide by the conviction formed if it is possible to secure legislation for protection and utterly impossible to secure legislation for silver will you support protection legislation yes yea under ordinary circumstances I 1 would provided I 1 believed it would not militate against the interests of silver I 1 believe that a proper protective tariff on lead and wool would prove of great benefit to the state though not as frank an avo avowal of mr holbrooks intention to support protection as we could desire it shows him not dot entirely lost to that great principle as senator cannon seems seema to be the latter has declared that he will not vote for protection until free coinage is secured and that may be a long way off mr holbrook will not it ii seems refuse one good thing because he cannot get another and he is therefore on the right track and will likely land in the protective ranks danl 9 if elected |
