Show I ADDITIONUThUrHS H Tlio capture of tho unsavory and solf-contossod vagrant Jim Donelson cast a gloom over the pollco and ten- derloin circles'. It also cast a sombre hue over tho Kearns party. H Jim Donelson la tho thug who sworo out a warrant charging a well-known preacher or this city with perjury because tho minister had tho courage to stop one of his fake prizo fights. Tho ' -"buno and tho Kearns party at that time roundly abused a good clt- izen and took tho part of tho thug, Donelson. Wlillo not every man in tho Kearns party is a thug and hobo, it Is unt- vorsally conceded that overy hobo thug, stocking-log gambler' and thiet belongs to that party. What a deplorable condition our po Hco department is in! While th sheriff and his force havo been seek- ing diligently to arrest Ave thugs who robbed two strangers, the ponco de-H de-H partmont not only remained dormant H uuw o.en no.peu mo uug0 10 get uuy and kopt them posted as to tho wkere- abouts of their pursuers. Tho Tribune, the thug orcan ami mouthpiece of tho Kearns pmy aS the tenderloin dibtrict, is very wrathy I at tho sheriff and governor for cap- I lor'rh.if8,1?1 mUU nI,nrved candidate lor chief detective, Jim Donelson.

H. , Ask yourself this question. Mr. Cit- ,zen: " tho sheriff's ofilco had been " under tho control of tho Kearns gang, H would it havo been necessary for thoi I thugs, Jim Donelson, tho two O'Briens Davis and Doll to lcavo this city? I Tho answer would bo, decidedly, NO! Tlo police and flro departments 1 should bo put under a board of commissioners com-missioners to bo appointed by tho gov- H i I AC IT ernor. Tho rotten condition of tho pollco department demands Immediate Immedi-ate action by tho legislature. It is a disgrace to tho city that a thug and, vagrant stands a much hotter show lor protection from tho police than does a decent, respectable stranger with money. That Is tho condition in Salt Lake today, Mr. Citizen, and you cannot dispute it. If you do dispute it, read tho Tribuno and bo convinced. con-vinced. Men who wore robbed in this city of $10,000 by bogus policemen aro called "suckers from Scotland" by the Tribune, Trib-une, while tho notorious Donelson, who has lived on tho shumo of scar-let scar-let women and all around thuggery, has been defended by that paper. Tnls city has become such a notorious notor-ious place lor low-class saloons that It is about tlmo for tho legislature to pass a local option bill. Give the people or this city a chanco to voto as to whether they want such dons of vice In their midst. Let us havo a local option measure, by all means. With bicycles and roller skaters allowed al-lowed on tho sidewalks pedestrians aro having tho time of their lives. There soems no effort being made on tho part of tho pollco to enforce the ordinance and few ir any arrests aro now being made for violating tho law. Truth can see only ono way out or It and that is for tho city council to pass an ordinance prohibiting any bicycle riding on tho streets and compelling tho use of slaowaius. So strong is me inato deslro to violate tho laws that wero an ordinance of this character passed, wo bellovo that In tho deslro to break tho law people would conde-send conde-send to leave tho sidewalks to pedes-trlans pedes-trlans and tako to tho streets. The Laborltes claim they will poll over 5,000 votes in this county. Tho attorney for Chief Sheets object ob-ject to his being referred to as ono of tho gang who robbed tho McWher-tors. McWher-tors. ir all or oven hair that has been testified to In this caso is truo wo should think tho gang would object ob-ject to being classified with Sheets. Thero Is said to bo honor among thieves. Why this scramble to get off tho democratic ticket? Threo resigantlons in ono day or candidates duly nominated nom-inated by tho convention Is unusual. Judgo S. W. Stewart, W. H. Bywater and A. E. Hyde seem to havo had a raco for which could got off tho ticket first. Messrs. L. E. Hall, Theo-doro Theo-doro Tobiason and Perley Hill havo been named to succeed them. Tho Scandinavians havo now ono representative repre-sentative on tho democratic ticket. Tho McWhlrters havo acted and given their testimony In such a manner man-ner ns to Impress everybody that they aro honest, straightforward men. That's why tho Tribuno misrepresents them and holds them up to scorn and contempt in its defenso of tho thieves who despoiled them. Congressman Howell Is having very successful and very enthusiastic meotings In tho southern part or tho state. His election is considered a certainty. Tho "American" party has assessed tho saloon men $100 each for campaign cam-paign purposes and they havo to pay it. Tho chief of pollco Is tho master of Mr. Kearns and through him tho mas-tor mas-tor of tho "American" party. They aro compelled to stand by him no matter what ho does. Ho knows too much about Mr. Kearns to make it wise for Kearns to break with him. Judgo Powers has opened his congressional con-gressional campaign. The Judo is a master in the art of campaigning. It is rumored that Thomas "Weir, "American" candidate for congress ls contemplating withdrawing from the ticket. Tho stench In tho "American" atmosphere must be very disagreablo to Mr. Weir. Sheriff Emery and his deputies are receiving many well deserved compliments compli-ments on their success in capturing Jim Donelson, tho thug. |
