its passage by tho Governor Govern-or organ and adviser and there fore its doom might havo been anticipated an-ticipated But it was b nicessary and reasonable measure and tin Ignorance of the Tribune as t its moaning mid merits was 8 palpable that i was thought the Governor would not 0 inlluenccd by such ecnscliss attacks However the bill i allowed to tccome law would have had the effect of fit venting in future the tbamtful things which disgraced the last municipal 1 nols tration and election and this would not laTe suited a certain portion of the Liberal clement and f the measure i dead

secure fairness and pretnt fraud at the poll We also publish the text of the Governors veto Read that and discover if you can any rational legal or dcfcnsibla objection t the bill it assassinates I thuald b understood that the Mil was only designed as an amending amend-ing act It was not to repeal existing ex-isting laws I ns not t interfere man way with the powers of the Utah Commission as pretended or rather insinuate by theJGovirnor I did nut intend to ill any office cither far registration or election therefore tlie Act Congress which jici lly provides that a law of this Territory

The Legislature did not Wish t interfere with I The election Ian provides that the 4S for shall b the registration nIT cer and that his cifjtutics for whom Ift i responsible may assist When the Commission came into power they appointed a registration officer and a number of deputy registrars and put the responsible wors upon npn tile latter leaving the former office a sinecure That was not the fault of the law but of the Commission rhis bill was framed s a not to interfere with the authority of the I CommissIon rightly or wrongly nerclHx because it was will known that the Governor would have seized Rich an interference asa as-a pretext for billing the bill The provision i fora board of three j W lO 1 JUUlcIJJ on objl tons to voter was designed to I wa ignc t prevent pre-vent a

understand why the manipulator of the late I election deviltries do not want such a chinge The I Te reasons tbntnctuated the Governor may b imagined since he has given no explanation of them in Ills veto message The power of the Legislature t I I amend the election laws on which tho Governor casts n doubt saying nothing lolo however 1 not disputed even by the Utah Comm Eon And I has been admitted by I the astute and subtle attorney for Uic < Liberal central committee That the words l < under existing laws were not intended to mean that no other election laws should b passed liv the Legislature i clear from the fact that they apply equally to the lawij of Congress a to the let of the Legislature I tile latter a limited thereby ro are tho former If those words forbid any amendment amend-ment of the election Ian s by the Utah Legislature they also forbid any similar action by Congre The Governor gives his implied objection ob-jection away when ho pays lIttle wur Is would not of course prevent Congress from making any desired change The bill referred to by the Governor Gov-ernor in the closing paragraphs of his t message was designed to cover broader ground than tie mea Mire now under consideration l it had been considered probable that tile Governor would sign the greater bill this amending bill would not have been passed Knowing that the Governor under the influences that control him would not dare to pass the more comprehensive mea sure the bill we now publish was prepared n one that he could sign without fear unless he was afraid of those who desire t perpetuate perpet-uate the condition of affairs by which the fraud and Injustice of the late municipal registration and election were possible Again we Invite a careful perusal of the bill and of the veto l the former i in the interest of fairness justice and the purity of election what shall b said of the latter I the signature of the Governor would have completed a barrier in the way of fraud corruption and villainy nul vlblY what are the natural effects of his refusal to subscribe 1 I fat another election partlzan officials without conscience and without honor deprive de-prive hundreds of legal voters of the franchise and open tile WY for hundreds of illegal voters to exercise It where will the blame He I will not b upon the shoulders of Legislature and If the Governor can afford to carry I he pcrfcctly I welcome to the load |
