Show THE SCHOOL ELECTIONS thim THE election of school trustees in the city districts on monday evening evening developed unexpected strength and determination on the part of the thenon non mormon mon voters and of carelessness on the part of some members member of the Pe peoples party A trustee from i the opposition was was elected in each of the seventh eighth twelfth thirteenth and fourteenth districts five out of twenty one city districts is quite a gain tor for the other side if the voters were all legitimately registered which ought to be looked up and determined in spite of the tumult and disorder occasioned by liberal tactics the op opposition p position I 1 lave fairly wen so much ofa of a victory and are entitled to the laurels in tile the districts named the trustees elected will we have no DO doubt oe be treated with toe the respect they deserve both from their coadou I 1 tors and the people for whom they a are re elected to act when our opponents gain the majority they are entitled to the political fical influence it gives and should enjoy it without grumbling from the minority lack ot ol votes is the only thing that prevents the non cormons mormons Mor Morra mons ons from gaining cont control rolof of all the offices in the territory the methods that have been adopted to lessen the vote of the peoples Peo party are not such as can be commanded by fair minded individuals but the result has been accomplished and we have to take things as they are and make the best of them the dis of ane women voters has depleted the ranks of the peoples party as the promoters of that iniquitous measure intended it was brought about by wilful and persistent falsehood and its effects are seen i in a the school will beber in august that it has not accomplished the lull full object in view and that tue toe peoples party his has a good working majority of male citizens duty duly registered as voters we hope the gentlemen elected will prove zealous and active in the cause ot of education and that harmony will prevail on oh all quest questions ious touching the lutei littel ests ot of the districts in which they have been chosen by the people to a act et all that our opponents can rightfully right fudy claim should be cheerfully chebi fully conceded to them and a fair and tree free lection election only can determine their rights lights in this re septet we are and have been of the opinion that every patent parent is entitled to a in the election of school trustees without legai regail d to his political status or opinion but the Lei legislature slature has determined otherwise and nd bernust we must stand by and honor the law as it exists every person entitled to register however should take care to torvall avail himself of his privileges and it he does not he cannot consistently complain if he be is overcome by more vigilant opponents the result in the districts gained ty t y the opposition though but a small victory when the rest of the districts are considered ought to sound a note of warning in regard to the general election on the first day of august next county and precinct officers and meiberg members of toe legislature will be elected every registered voter should then be on hand band to do his bis duty failure on that day will be of far more itu importance than the slight blight mishap of monday evening greater interests are at stake and wore more important offices have to 10 be filled care should be taken to bring out the full strength of the peoples party absentees should be invited to return and be at their post the polls on that occasion tile the county and precinct committees should see to this in ti time me they should also carefully lully examine the registration lists and take measures as provided by law to purge the lists of non or others not entitled to have their names there we want an honest election when the other side have the preponderance of legal votes we should submit without kicking or complaint they are just as much and as fairly entitled to struggle lor for supremacy as we are and to credit tor for virn vim and union and success if they cau can lawfully achieve it but trickery and illegality should not be e perr permitted bitted to prevail and vigilance is required red of the peoples committees to detect and expose them the disorder and riot which attended some ol of the school meetings are contrary to the methods which have hitherto prevailed at such auch gatherings and ou ought r hanot not to be countenanced byte by respectable spec table persons of either party W we a look upon such scenes as disgraceful f ua they reflect no credit upon liberals or others who created them enthusiasm andzeas and zeal are all right and the victors cannot be blamed for exuberance of f spirits over their few triumphs but the pandemonium raised in some places should make the promoters of the disturbance ashamed and ought to be deprecated by every peaceable citizen now let the registered voters c of if the peoples party wake up to that diligence and vigilance and promptness which ought to be manifested in all their political movements and take care that they are not taught napping on OH the first of august and let those who are not registered but could have been reflect upon the consequences of their folly and makeup their minds that next year they will not be so indifferent to the public welfare in which their own interests are essentially involved A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient but some people are so slow to perceive a point that neither argument nor advice is sufficient to open their eyes and move them in the path of safety and right and only some shaking up like that in the districts mentioned will serve to rouse them into sen seand then it is often too late let the events of monday evening carry their lesson leam to all |
