True. the Republicans are still "flirting" with th invitation of the Democrats, Dem-ocrats, but the Republicans want to be asured that they will have all of 'the office., with but one pwtlble exception .a commissioner. They are wtHtns; to Jln tn any old movement that will mean the defeat ot the American party and th election of Republicans. "Any old combination com-bination to elect Republlrens and beat the Americans" Is the motto which-they have adopted. i The American city committee, throuch Its chairman, A. J. Charon, has declined to accept the Invitation to Join in the nonpartisan movement. The membe-a of the party realise that one of the principal object of passing the commission nil! wss tn defeat the Americana In Halt I-ake City, and they refuse to stand for the bait offered them. Leaders of the party declare that at the convention, to fte held In the Colonial theatre on Heptetnoer . they will name a ticket that every voter who haa the Interest of the city at heart can support, and that It will be mide MP of men of unqualified ability. Integrity and honesty and that the people of the tlty will have no fear In voting for theaa men. The ao called bualnesa men's movement la not yet dead.

It le poasmie inra , In-Intervention may be filed In one of the local courts by the Democrats, on the basis that their Idea of a committee of seventy-five Is being stolen and .that .the eo called business men's meeting haa no right to name the same alsed committee that they auggeated. However, the Den-ocrata Den-ocrata hava not secured a patent on their Idea, nor have they had It copyrighted. One thing appears certain at thla time, and that la that there will be no lack of Umber on either a nonpartisan or bualnesa bual-nesa men'a ticket, and It le a certainty that there will be no lack of eandldatre for nomination on the American ticket, aa tha members of that party feel that a nomination la equivalent to an election. |
