Show OUR DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS A very prominent Democrat was met Inet yesterday by a friend who said How is t it you are not sweep sweep- 1 I j ing g things sp strongly as you were the evening ening before before be be- fore you rou went to Logan last week lIe He admitted the I fact fact and in pleasant justification said They have stolen stolen the broom That required but five words but bilt it stated t the e whole hole situation of our Democratic friends not pot only is the broom gone but the disposition disposition disposition II tion to sweep things is gon gone It is a cowardly thing to make fun of a great party when it is down but then our Democratic frien friends fiends i in s u Utah do not nt seem any longer to be a great party part they seem unable to explain why the they should hold on to their organization nI Za tion the ground is all melted from under their l feet The Herald is so demoralized that it is very difficult for it to tell the truth an any more and while its words are bold they have looking through the type the tho same appearance that a mans man's face wears when he is making a desperate buff on two deuces It It is not for is the purpose of making light of the Democratic funeral that we refer to it at all but I simply to suggest to them that inasmuch 1 as the church has served notice upon them that they must st still Il remain out in the cold for an indefinite period in Utah and inasmuch as men have to do the best they c can n for themselves to suggest to them that they tie tic I up their organization for this year ear and vote rote the splendid ticket which the American America party put in the field on Monday There are certain men and certain I systems that respect nothing in this world but force The Democratic party part in Utah has been snubbed ignored ignored ig ig- ig-I ig nored or made game of by the dominant church now I Ifor for several ears It is the years disposition of human nature nature na na- i ture when its sufferings are arc unbearable lel to strike I back This Tins would be he a first class year ear for the Democracy rac racy to strike le back and g rive give e the church notice that while it is long suffering and kind there comes conies a n. time when forbearance ceases to be a virtue and when the worm turns We suspect that among the leaders there is a hope that if Mr l Bryan is elected the they will be the ones that he lie will depend upon in Utah for advice and that appointments will be made by him under their directions but that is a very small thing even eyen if it should d prove true Not many of them would be rewarded the big bib states will claim all the offices and what will a United States marshal- marshal ship and the postoffice in Salt Lake amount to 1 And Aud then by voting the American al ticket thc they would vote for as many Democrats as they would Re Re- publicans We rc Ye think such a man as Judge Hiles would be entitled to their suffrage we think looking looking looking look look- ing the whole ticket over o and comparing it with the theother theother theother other tickets that will be in the field outside of politics politics politics poli poli- tics the American ticket will be the best ticket And the Democrats certainly have hae just lust resentment for I. I the wa way they were treated after their work in Logan We Ve do not believe belie there is a Gentile Democrat in the city that is proud of the Logan platform and we suspect that down deep in every one of their hearts there is impressed the solemn fact that the longer the they keep up this farce the longer the day will be before Utah will emerge and give gi Democrats and Republicans l cans alike an even eyen chance to fight for their principles There is no chance no now If they read the News on Monday l night the they read a labored effort to show that no church influence was brought to bear upon J Jesse Knight to cause him to decline the nomination nom nomi nomination nomi- nomi nation given gi him so splendidly in Logan but in the next column there was an article on tho need of unity that nothing could be accomplished without unit unity of purpose and of principle and will see sec that first article was meant as a II poultice for sore Democratic Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic hearts the other was a notice to quit their foolishness and vote yote solid How flow do American Democrats Democrats Democrats Demo Demo- like that kind of a system 7 |
