Just two very important developments of the present week have concentrated interest in the campaign being made by the Republi-"can Republi-"can party in this county and state. The ruling of the supreme court, which, in effect, denies the application for a writ of mandate to the American party managers to compel the secretary of state to place the names of the Republican electors on the Taft-Libcral ticket has had a decidedly clarifying effect. The supreme court has upheld the'' best judgment of the Republican party of this state by refusing to allow the Taft-Libcral ticket to be adorned by the names of the men who will vote for Taft for president and Sherman for vice-president. The American party managers have injected a peculiar and at times inconsistent issue into the present campaign. They told the people that the local issue is paramount to the national issue and they cared little or nothing for the national campaign. At the same time, ' Jtj and as a part of the same program, they demand of the Republicans that they allow their electors to run at the head of the local Kearns ticket. It would seem that if the American party considered the local issue paramount to the election of a president of the United States, there would not be such an effort on the part of the inner circle to force the Republican electors on the American ticket, because if the local issue is paramount then the American party managers need not worry whether its rank and file vote the national ticket or not. All of those Americans who care to vote for Taft can do so by voting for the electors on the Republican ticket and by voting the American ticket for county officers, so the fluster was unnecessary. The ruling of the Supreme Court is right. No man should be compelled to run on a ticket if he doesn't care to have his name upon that ticket. The ruling is also important since it establishes a perfect M- line of campaign between the two parties the American and the Republican Re-publican which arc contending for supremacy in Salt Lake county this fall. The Democrats are out of the race, they arc making no campaign and are not going to make any. The Republicans are not having the trouble they had two years ago in convincing the Democrats Demo-crats they are the stronger to defeat the Americans. Everybody understands un-derstands that the Democrats are flocking to the support of the Re publicans to defeat this undesirable party which has been too long 1 tolerated in Salt Lake City. The only reason for keeping the Demo- 1 1 cratic organization intact is to help a few leaders in that party to ful- I J fill their pledge to do everything in their power to encompass the de- a 1 feat of the Republicans and turn the county over to the Americans. 'ail Another factor in the campaign is the lack of sympathy which M I I the American party is getting from the Republicans in their party 1 i who cannot be convinced that the prosecution of the warfare in Salt .1 1 Lake county is of greater importance than the election of a President. j . I Now, business men take the view that the election of Taft is para- M mount to the election of a sheriff, or an attorney or a city justice of I I the peace. There are among the business men of Salt Lake many 1 I Americans who will vote for Taft because they sec in him prosperity, jm , I . and they will vote against the American party in Salt Lake county I , I because they see in it a continuance of the strife and struggle that has I ' I been waged by Kearns for a number of years to satisfy his- ambition I to gain a scat in the United States Senate and to regain the political ( " M prestige he has lost. M Not long ago a young man tried to borrow money on a farm. It j I is a good piece of property, unencumbered, and is situated in a part of Salt Lake valley where prices are bound to rise and values increase. I When he applied for a loan he was informed that no loans were being I made on real estate during the campaign because of the uncertainty ' I of the outcome of the election. The loan agent went further and said I that he did not care to jeopardize his money by placing it in a position , I where its return would be hard, especially with hard times following ! H the election of a Democratic President. lie intimated that if Taft - H was elected and future prosperity was thereby assured he would no H doubt make the loan with the farm property as security. The lesson in H this is that business men know Taft is certain and that Bryan is not. H They would not endanger their prospects of good business by voting 1 H Bryan into the White House, and they know just as well as any one ' H can know that the issue involving the two national candidates is of I H more vital importance than the imaginary issue in Salt Lake county. i H The Republicans in the American party arc thoroughly disgusted H with the tactics of the American party leaders in trying to swing the j H entire American party to the support of Bryan in order to satisfy the H ambitions of unscrupulous politicians. This is a presidential elec- H tion and more interest will naturally center in the election of a na- iH tional executive than in the perpetuity of an obnoxious and distasteful strife in Salt Lake county. lM John L. Sullivan passed the half century mark on Thursday of last week, and declares that lie is good for fifty years more on this old sphere, having gotten onto the water wagon with a good supply of J 'JM whips, and a firm determination not to get down. If John had secured a scat on the wagon years ago, he would probably have been chain- pion of the world many years longer than he was, but, oh, what's 'M the use. .H Charley Wright of San Francisco last week broke the world's 81 record 18.2 balk line billiard record, running out 400 points with an 1 'M average of 16.
