Show TRUTHS. I That was a dirty, mean, contemp- M tiblc way the Telegram brought the H name of Mr. P. II. Lannan forward H as a probable candidate for the mayor- H alty on the republican ticket. Mr. H Laniian would make an excellent may- H or, Letter than any wc have had, for H lo, these many years, but the Tele- H gram knew very well he was not seek- H ing that or any other office. The H Telegram's object was to place Mr. H Lannan in the light of a sycophant and l Senator Smoot as dictating who H should be mayor of Salt Lake. Both H insinuations were so palpably false and unreasonable that the publication I hurt the unholy cause the Telegram H intended to champion. H M The Real Estate exchange is migh- I ty anxious to get hold of that $10,000 I but the fund grows slowly. Anybody I who would trust that aggregation with I $10,000 would have more cash than I sense. It's own donation of $500 is H only on paper. We don't believe the I association has $500. It was several H months behind with its portion of the I rent of the Chamber of Commerce I building, but it made a few hundred I dollars from its annual graft and fake H prize excursion and paid up. I M A good, true, honest soul passed I away the other day when Douglas H Ferguson died suddenly of heart di- I scasc. Nearly everybody knew Doug- H las and liked him. He was prominent H in local politics and at various times H held positions of trust and cinolu- meiit. lie was a son of Dr. Ellen J. H Ferguson, who was also prominent in I politics and was one of the very few I women elected to the legislature in H this state. She has been residing in I New York for a number of years. I Douglas' two sisters, Qucenie and I Clar.i also ntsidc in New York. I H Fisher Harris' friends were very I much pained to learn that it was nee- I cssary for him to return to the hos- I pital It was hoped that he had fully I recovered his health among the hills I at Brighton. The fact is Mr. Harris I has been working too strenuously I night and day and seven days a week I at that, will tell on the most robust I constitution. Wc hope Mr. Harris I will take life a little easier, at least I until he has fully recovered. The I public needs him. He has done more I earnest, effective work for the public I than' most men. I I The Democrats of this city will I meet in convention on the 17th, at the I Grand theatre. Nearly 400 names I will appear on the roster and it is rea- I sonable to suppose a majority of these 'I will respond when called. They are I expected to nominate a ticket and I once more affix their unwavering at- I testation to the grand and undying I principles of the immortal Thomas I Jefferson. I I J. L. Thomas has gone to Minucap- I olis to attend the annual meeting of I the Sovcrign Grand lodge of Odd Fel- I lows in that city. UU I |
