Show confirmation BY BT THE SENATE there are members of the utah senate who seem to take peculiar views view of abb duty of that body in rel relation atlon to the confirmation of ao pointed by the governor for instance certain laws law of the she state provide that the governor shall appoint with the advice and consent of the senate certain state board some of which serve practically without compensation and are mixed as a to political parties partie fl this makes make the GOT bornor name some persons opposed to his bis political views view and also opposed to the political views or the senate the tha usual custom and the only one entitled to respect reaped is that shag when the appointment of these theme persons persona cornea up the senate inquires into their theft qualifications for the office never interfering with their political views view since these are recognized as aa being in and it if the qualifications for are satisfactory confirms COL cot firms them as aa the representatives of cf a patsy party with political view but utah state senators did not do that at saturday evenings session they pawed by all personal noa bione tione and objected to confirming one ona of tue tile governors Gove appointees for no other reason abd ban tbd his him supposed political views upon a board which the law requires shall have hav but bus a certain number of members of one political party the governor ap pointed all that could come from that party legally yet senators objected to another appointee for no other reason then than that he did not support we the plat form of their heir party in other words b aft cause a man did not support the down demo orallo platform in a case where the law required the appointment of one who dsa did not give that support but cast his vote veto in favor of the party which in tailed stalled president Preal dent mckinley by a ma bority of the electoral college his confirmation was waa objected to thus thui the e spirit of the nonpartisan non partisan law was wai violated forthe for the test teat of party la Is the support ot of its plat platform forin and nominees the objection was wae a surprising example of political bigotry it might be indeed wan wai urged that the nominee was waa not right on the silver auver question what to Is asbe test teat of being right on any question tion which has become a political issue the declaration of a political party then if that be the standard the silver party as ae practical force had all the be representatives the law given it whether they were in or out of party alignMent ll on other questions quest lone and the law required the coul of one with other views and it would be as aa consistent to refuse to confirm con firm a because he believes belie vealo I 1 a government ownership of railways railway and does not hold bold the chicago platform to be perfect on that point as aa to refuse to confirm a republican because he did not vote for the he democratic nominee for president Pre the fact is here where a national party exlene an aa la Is the cose with the republican atmo cratic populist anif and others abere then no voter who does doea not support the chief nominee of such party is a member oi that party in reality tor for the voice of he ate party parly to la perfectly represented in its ite choice of chief nominee there may be differences as aa to inferior officers oera or portions port ione of the party platform but there can be oene done in ine concentration which la is applied to the chief boandl date and general tenor of the platform hence it follows that republicans cast their votes in favor ot of mckinley while the party organizations of demo populist silver republicans prohibitionists and others voted for their heir party choice but it does doea not follow lu in this state that because an elector voted for the mckinley ticket he Is not a silver ilverman man that vote to Is bf hs tit as a republican fox for that shut was waa the republican ticket there were thousands thoua and in abia state who did not like the republican financial plank they also alio the democratic plank on the chicago riots regarding it aa a species of van Buren lem ism which withheld government protection to citizens ol when the state failed ailed to do its ita duty as aa was waa the abe came to in DOIN during the riots and on this issue they chose the looser of two evil an aa they rei rard od d them they voted for the mckinley electors eleo tore not because they loved silver any the less leee but because they disliked the van Bure Buren niem tem referred to the more it was their way of making the choice hence to declare that everyone ve who voted tor for mckinley Mo Kinley is not dot right on the silver allver question tion Is ie unfair illogical and intolerant here Is ie where every statesmanlike benator bator will stand when it comes w be his duty to confirm as aa member of a board an opponent in politics be WilUme will noure him by his hie qualifications ter lor the cafice as such euch political aniag onist and not as ae a political colleague it is is tor for political parties to determine their shelf own policies poll clee and it to ie not for a republican to define to Democrate what democracy in IB to silver republicans what silver oliver republicanism Is 1 or to populists lists what populism ti Is to them each bach party defines define its ita own views free from domination by the others else elee there to is oo no political freedom the high example in this in our govern ment is in not et by the senate of the united states stacee which gives the president Preel dent when of another party the cabinet ot 01 nia bia choice when a political issue only is involved |
