Show aAME Issue in isoo as in ioog. The Salt Lako Iloruld of last Sunday contains n scnslblo nnd timely cdltorlul under tho head, "Concealing the Issue." Is-sue." In the courso of tho article, the Horald says: "And tho voters of Salt Lako county should bear in mind that every Republican Repub-lican candidate for the Legislature mid for n county oQlco Is pledged to nil of McKlnley's .ollcles, financial and otherwise; oth-erwise; that administration Republicans Republi-cans predominate on tho ticket, and that all aro running on n McKlulcy platform. "Thcro Is a plank In the Republican Stato platform which ratifies nnd re-ulllrms re-ulllrms overy policy "ably put forlh and advocated by President McKInley," nnd tho Republican county platform of Suit Lako county endorses tho State platform In full." Tho samo conditions nppllcablo to Salt Lake county aro nlnu oppllcnblo to Utah couuty. Tho platfotm of Utah county Republicans Is practically tho samo as tho platform of Suit Lako county, voters who expect to cast n ballot for Republican Stnto Sonntors and Representatives must boor In mind that thoso legislators aro pledged to support a Republican candidate can-didate for tho UnJtod States Sonatc, who lu turn will bo plodged to "tho polloles of McKtnloy, financial and othonviso", nnd naturally with that policy nil tho demands of the St. Louis platform. Tho lssuo has not changed In tho last two years, but on the contrary con-trary tho dlfferonco in tho principles botween tho two parties aro Just ns stiongly markod In 1808 as In 1800. If you voto for tho Ropubllcun legislators, or oven for tho county ticket, you nro voting to uphold tho St. Louis platform, plat-form, a plntform tho principles of which aro wo bollcvo inimical to tho vfcstorH lutorcsts. On tho contrary it you vote tho Democratic ticket you aro voting for, tho grand-- principles of tho Chicago platforrnr tho purest declaration decla-ration in favor of tho pcbplo ever put forth by a political party. It is truo that a cortaln class of administration papers aro attomptlng to divert tho peoples' mind from tho great Issues of this campaign by a personal nttack upon B, II. Roberts. Thoy did not do this In 1895, yet if a reason exists now, it existod thon. There can be but ono causo nud that is Cnat these papers know that tho gold-bug pariy lu Utah will again bo defeated unless tho minds of tho voters can bo diverted from tho truo Issue. Don't lot yourselves be foolod by tho nssortlon that this Is ''only it local election-" It is nothing of tho kind. It Is In all senses n National election and upon tho rosult In tho various 6tntcs do-ponds do-ponds tlio fato of tho Notional Issues. |
