Comparison of the leaders of the r :i i ii v t i tickets, Ezra Thompson and James C. Leary, unqestionably shows that Thompson is the better man to stand at the head of the municipality of Salt Lake. Mr. Thompson has lived here nearly all his life. He is a large property owner in the city and is interested in Utah's mines. The development of 4: the city and the State are vital to his Interests. He lb a man of sterling character, honest and straightforward in all his dealings.' He has ample means of his own, and from a pecuniary standpoint the Mayoralty is nothing to him. During his term of office he has shown that he had the Interest of Salt Lake and her citizens at heart One of his very first official was to cause the wages of acts laborers working for the city to be advanced about 20 per cent. It was a proper and a just thing, and met with the approval of almost everybody. He has shown himself to he a man of affairs, able and conscientious. The only mistake of moment in his administration was the appointment of John E.

Smith to ele- - the presi- dency of the Mormon church to succeed the late President Lorenzo Snow was made on Thursday. The appointment was made at a meeting of the twelve apostles and the new president selected as his counselors Apostles John R. Winder and Anton H. Lund. For the formal confirmation of the new president by the members of the church, a special conference of the church is called for November 10th in Salt Lake City. Apostle Brigham Young was made president of the quorum of the twelve apostles. President Smith was born at Par West, Missouri, on November 13, 1838. He Is a nephew of the prophet, Joseph Smith, and a man of mature experience and education, and without doubt will administer the affairs of the church with ability. He is strong and self reliant and will be the real head of the church. Apostle Rudgar Clawson, who was elevated so recently to be the second counselor to President Snow, did not enjoy his advanced position very long, and not having been chosen as counselor by the new president drops back into the quorum of the twelve apostles. s f r HOME TELEPHONE FRANCHISE. There are many reasons why the City Council should grant the Home Telephone company a franchise to erect a new and competing system in this city. A few of the reasons are as follows: Because the establishment of the to system would add a million dollars to the taxable property of the city. The company will give the city $ per cent of its profits for fifty years ani the use of thirty telephones free. It would give employment to not less than fifty people. It would reduce the cost of telef. phone service It would double the number of users of telephones. It would put the telephone, which has become almost as necessary as a postage stamp, within the reach of a great many people who cannot pay one-four- th one-ha- lf one-hal- the present rates. There are 5670 operating independent United telephone companies in the States, representing an investment done $90,000,000.
