Show I TRUTHS H Votis for Plummcr and clean civic H government. H Supposing two business men oc- H cupiccl premises adjoining ench other H :ind one of tlicm secretly and in the H dead of night cut an appcrturc from H his place to that of his neighbor and H stole his property, afterwards cun- H r.ingly closing up the appcrture so H that it would be difficult to discover H that it ever existed. The thievery H however was discovered and the thief H was forced to make restitution by H paying the other merchant half a H million dollars. If such a thing H should occur what would happen to H the dishonest merchant? Would he H maintain his position in the com- H muuity and his standing in clubs com- H posed of gentlemen? H That's what the chief owners of H the Tribune did, only instead of a H store it was a mine they were opcrat- H iug and stole their neighbor's ore. H The Tribune docs not like Attor- H ncy General Brcedcn. The Tribune H has no use for anybody it can't con- H trol. It attacks them and lies aboul H them just as it docs in regard to Mr. H Brcedcn. Air. Breedcn spoke at a H political meeting a few evenings ago. H The Tribune while stating that it H gave a truthful account of Mr. Brecd- H: en's speech did the very reverse. It H manufactured a speech for him, re- H ported him as saying things he never H said and made a studied effort to H misrepresent him. Then it called H him names, according to the usual H way of the Tribune, and that was all. H But the question still remains un- H answered whether it is preferable to H be a grandma or a red nosed bull. H The "American" city administra- H tion raised the salaries of the office H holders who didn't need it and don't H earn what they receive now, but flat- H ly refused to advance the pay of the H laborers from $2.25 to $2.50 a day. H They said the working man had H. enough prosperity. I Hf L. Lorainc Baglcy, son of former H Attorney General Baglcy of Idaho, H i has returned from a protracted stay H in the Southern states and has cntcr- H cd upon the practice of law with the H firm of Bartch & Baglcy. H Mrs. Fred W. Price is a worker. H Her enthusiasm is boundless and her H , judgment is always good. She says H the republicans will win this can Hi paign, because they arc in the right H and Mrs. Price knows what she talks Hjj about. H P Hj Truth has never tried to mislead Hi public, and it is too late to start now. Hj In thc-last eight years Truth has been Hi wrong only once in forecasting the H result of elections. Jn our opinion HI now, Morris is out of the race, and H those who wish to defeat the worst H gang that ever invaded a city should H vote the republican and fusion ticket. During the past twenty-two months the Tribune has grafted from the people peo-ple of Salt Lake City about $25,000. The graft has been worked by means of the advertising of city ordinances and other so-called legal advertising for which the Tribune charges more than double tine rates it, is willing to do advertising for commercial houses. It publishes by and with the connivance of the city officials a large amount of alleged advertising matter which reality is "dead horse" run for the benefit of the Tribune and for no other purpose. The Tribune Trib-une as a newspaper and an adveris-ing adveris-ing medium has been going down hill ever since its present owners purchased pur-chased it and paid for it with money furnished by the National Republican committee, which money was stolen by the secretary of the National committee com-mittee and used to purchase the Tribune Trib-une in the confident expectation that by the aid of the Tribune and his dear friend Tommy Kcarns, Mr. Heath would at no very distant date become a United States senator and be in a position to steal many millions mil-lions dollars. As a newspaper the Tribune has been going down ever since Ex-Senator Kearns obtained control of it. As an advertising medium med-ium its columns ate at a discount. There arc five daily papers in Salt Lake and outside of the Tribune's city advertising graft it has les advertising ad-vertising than any other daily in the city not even excepting tine little "squirt" that calls itself the Telegram. Tele-gram. It takes a long time to build up a newspaper and it takes, not so long, but a considerable time to tear it down. The Tribune has been engaged en-gaged in the tearing down process for six years and the consequences are apparent. It has lost circulation cir-culation to such an extent that it is no longer rated in the newspaper news-paper directories in tlis best class. It has the smallest circulation of any daily paper in the city. It dare not state its actual circulation.. Dishonesty, Dishon-esty, diabolism, iniquity has its own rewards and the Tribune is getting its reward. If it hadn't its municipal graft, which it is about to lose, however, how-ever, it couldn't pay the interest on its bond issue not to speak of any profit. There was a big republican rally in the Fqurth ward, Wednesday evening. The speakers were Messrs Leather-wood, Leather-wood, Glen Miller, and James De-vinc. De-vinc. By the way the Tribune does not seem to like Glen Miller. Glen has a way of getting under the thick cuticle of the Tribune gang and they don't like it. Mr. D. M. Austin, county attorney of Bear Lake, Idaho, was in the city a few days ago, the guest of his brother-in-law. Former Attorney General Gen-eral Baglcy of Idaho. Mr. Austin was enroute to New York. |
