Show o POLITICS QUIET IN LOGAN. Editor Truth: Tho political atmosphere hero is not very turbulent as yet, neither party having presented names of candidates for office. Tho Democrats keep entirely mum, not ono aspirant having yet been mentioned, and there Is- only one office being sought after by Republicans. Re-publicans. Mr. J. A. Henrickson, tho retired capitalist, as he was styled by a certain keyhole repprter of a oalt Lako paper, is and hns been out for stato senntor for tho past four H months. Ho hns traveled through M nearly all tho precincts of tho county H soliciting support. His plea is that M ho can afford to sacrifice tlmo and M means for tho good of tho party, and M that a poor man or even a man with M modornto means, say $1500 a year In- H come, cannot do justice to himself ind the people. Tho $1500 a year M man referred to Is supposed to ho H. M Bullon, Jr., who is tho logical candl- M date for stnto senator. Tho majority H of tho Republicans, however, prefer H brains and capability to money or Its M effects upon legislation. Mr. Bullen H has tho brains, Is capable, under- M stands our wants nnd needs. Ho has H Influence at homo and throughout tho H state, Is lovel-hcadod and broad- M minded, and will not stoop to any- M thing beneath tho dignity of a gontlo- M man. lino, ho Is not rich, and wo M have as yet railed to find that riches M iro an essential qualification for of- M flco In tho land of tho frco nnd tho M homo of tho bravo. When capitalists M get so wealthy that they even rcfuso M to sottlo with municipalities whoro M thoy llvo for their sharo of public 1m- M provoments, then their boasted riches M imounts to but very Httlo so far as M tho public Is concerned. Tho tlmo M has passed In this great country of M ours when rich mon can force them- M selves to tho front In political ranks M solely becauso of their riches. Tho M oxamplo of ono Tom Kcarns is yet M fresh in our memory. Tho common M pcoplo will not stand for It. When M tho political pot begins to boll I will M keep you posted in detail. M Respectfully, REX. H Logan, Utah, Aug. 27, 190G. H |
