Show THE CITIZEN man is an accessory. Every official who advances public moneys. to indues the commission of crime should also be prosecuted. He is an accesory. This is fine business for any municipality to be engaged in. The commissioners have also made appropriations of county money to be devoted to the same dirty object and Sheriff Deming has paid it out to undercover men. Can any man guilty of such methods hope to public office? Does for the Democratic party dare to endorse such conduct by renominating Deming. If it does every fairminded voter here in Carbon county should hold that party responsible and vote against the whole ticket. To escape public contemptthat party must clean house in the coming convention. It cannot afford to condone the lynching of Marshall, and It cannot afford to endorse the practice of using public moneys to cause men to commit crime. Such would challenge the enlightenment of the Carbon county electorate and make the paramount issue in the ensuing campaign Barbarism Versus Civilization. efHappy start may be made in an fort to diminish crime if the state of Utah and the city of Price as represented by the county and city officials will quit setting an example of criminality through the illegal use of public funds for the emp'oyment of men for the purpose of inducing others to commit crime.

If that is not prostitution I dont know the meaning of that wrord. Of course the charge against the Helperite must be that he possessed goes into the city ing the judge and who induced the liquor contrary to the peace and dignity of the city of Price. I challenge the complaint. Such a city has no more dignity than a wornout prostit- ute. It has in lieu Volsteadism rab-icif it is moral to spend public money to induce the commission of liquor crime in order to make money nt of the enterprise, then it is also moral to spend such funds to induce the criminally inclined to commit ar- n, rape sud murder.

The undercover The Democratic South has so long seemed impregnable that even among the Republicans, the possibility of breaking through the lines has been regarded as considerable of a forlorn hope. It may be, however, that the Republicans have been discounting their chances. This thought is or brought to mind by the publication an editorial in a recent issue of the Jacksonville Times Union, a most important Democratic paper in Florida, in which a note o! warning is sounded. The Democrats are advised that under the primary is the only important political function. It calls on all the Democrats to prepare to be at the polls in November because their votes will be needed if the Democratic ticket is to be elected. It says the time has come by reason of Republican growth that the old habit of attending primaries and ignoring elections cannot be continued. The friend of L. R. Watts are shoving him to the front for the nomination of sheriff of this county. As a police officer and now a Federal officer Watts has made such a good record that his friends are anxious to see him sheriff of this county. He has been a Republican worker all his life, sellpreaching politics when he was ing newspapers and later when he was fireshoeing horses. He was also a man for a time, but no matter where Red was placed it appeared to be his luck, or something, to make good. -- Marlow L. Cummings believes that he has better than an even break to win the nomination of assessor on the Republican ticket. While he Is asking for a third term, he points to his past record in his office for support, and if nominated and elected he will con 9 tinue to meet the public in the self same open way that he has in the past. If your tax notice is wrong, go to Cummings and he will correct It. Prohibition Chief Andrews now suggests deportation for all alien bootleggers. Just a few more enemies on the other side for us is about all he will accomplish. In foreign countries it Is not a crime to take a drink and when we begin to put out people for taking a drink or selling the same, we will get the worst of it from foreign nations. When we go over there for their trade, they will laugh at us. Surely our Federal department appears to be handled by a lot of inexperienced kids. They can see about as far as the end of their nose. ty race between Leatherwood and Holman and if the latter can break into Leatherwood's support in the outside counties, the first ballot will definitely decide the race in favor of Hoi-.- , man. The primaries will be held next Friday evening and judging from all appearances all the Republicans will be out to take part. No man should be elected secretary GEO. S. KOSHABA & CO.

Many rumors are afloat that Dan Shields will be the man, but this Information appears to come from Republicans. The Democrats are trying hard to drag out Ashby Snow whom they claim can defeat Senator Smoot at this time. Snow is said to have a barrel of money and it may be the money the boys have their eagle eye on, while Ashby on the other hand is adverse to spending good money to try and beat a cinch game. At the Leatherwood headquarters in the Utah hotel it is reported that nearly the solid support of Tooele, Utah and Davis counties are coming in for the support of Representative E. O. Leatherwood. If he can break into T. L. Holmans support in Salt Lake county he probably will be nominated. However if there are others who enter the race and neither Leatherwood or Holman can take the nomination on the first ballot, it would not be surprising to see a third man come in and take the plum.
