Show VIEWS OF A REPUBLICAN. Editor Truth: Republicans must now commence preparations for tho coming clty campaign. We havo a duty to perform. Wo must rescue this cit from incompetents, nnd placo It under Republican rule; place It In the possesison of "a party fit to govern." there will bo an attempt mndo to ro-vlve ro-vlve the "American" party, so-called, and the leaders of our party will again be maligned nnd misrepresented. The triumvirate has decided to continue Us unclean methods. Tho organ ot these political pirates will have, as usual, several columns dnlly of offou-slvo offou-slvo ai,uso ,,r Utah nnd her people. Ibis triumvirate planned to control the politics of Utah, nnd to mnko every ev-ery man walk the plank that refused to obey their commands. Their plans failed, ns plans of tyrants should fall. Had their plans succeeded, honest men nnd honest political methods would have disappeared from pollticnl life here. Tho ox-Senator and his mnnnger tried to destroy tho political caieer of everyone opposed to them, long before the Tribune bolted tho par-ty par-ty last fall. There was no cry of n 'iiolrarchy" at that time. They wero then told that if they continued to tread that path, the people would rise up In their wrath nnd put nn end lo bosslsm. Tlioy refused to listen to fair wnrning with tho result known to all. They did not bolt becauso tboy were opposed to tho church being In politics, but becauso It was not for them. If they could hnvo Induced the church to have entered tho pollticnl arena in their behalf, tho word "Iiolrarchy" "Iiolr-archy" would never havo appeared In the Tribune. There bo those who worship wor-ship money and seek favors of that paper. pa-per. Such people will not join our ranks. Many who appeared in tho American Am-erican party nt tho last election will bo with us this fall, becauso they arc becoming exceedingly tired of a dally dose of the vllo decoction mixed up by the Tribune. Tho people of this stnto will havo to look to our party for the clearing away of nil tho misrepresentations misrepresen-tations that havo been spread broadcast broad-cast during tho past year. Our party stands for progress nnd prosperity In the state, as well as In tho nation. It alono can keep In harmony Gentile and Mormon. It alono enn savo this city from making the fatal mistake of electing men to olllco incompetent to 1111 tho positions. The grent leader of our party lining lin-ing tho highest placo of trust in the nation hns proven to tho peoplo that he represents them. Lot us follow his great example. Let us rcsolvo that no corporation tho Interests of which are opposed to tho Interests of the people shall control In city or stnto. There must ho no long tlmo franchises granted by our city council. Tho tlmo Is not dlstnnt when cities of tho west will own tho street railways and electric elec-tric light plants operated therein. Tho Republican party must bo ln tho load on theso propositions. It has built the political pyramids of tho past fifty rc nn.i u will r.nntlnuo to build for tho future It has within its folds the Intellectual giants nnd geniuses of good government, who will solvo nil problems, that may nriso for tho bono-lit bono-lit of tho people. Morally and Intellectually Intel-lectually tho party Is far In ndvanco of nil political organizations ln our country. Swift punishment will bo ulvcn to all who provo corrupt In of-lice of-lice Wo do not want thoso who ox nect personal gain. Grnftors will bo exposed nnd driven from our ranks ,f found therein.
