Show The constitution will be ratified whether the women vote or not. Should they vote, however, the majority ma-jority for that instrument will be very great, and exceed the cotemporary democratic majority by a few thousands thou-sands or more. We are still of the opinion that the daughters of Utah are largely democratic as the sons ot Utah are, and should a competent legal le-gal authority declare them eligible to vote next November the democratic majority will equal the majority for the constitution. The ladies can be fully depended upon to vote their principles prin-ciples and they know nothing of, and will never swap tbeir principles, as too many men are in the habit of doing. The entrance of women into their right ot franchise could not be signalized signal-ized in a better way than by a rousing democratic majority. It is our opinion that the wordB "a fair deal" and 4a clean campaign," are destined to become yery distasteful to a certain great republican paper in this state, and at no distant day either. This certain great republican paper is very ruthless in dealing with those with whom it differs. It can call more, and more offensive names in a given number of words than any- 1 t other paper we have ever read. The other papers of the state have been the objects of its hatred so loDg and so often that eech has been tbe recipient of its attentions in this way very often. They now have a legitimate legiti-mate opportunity to get even, and it is but truth to say that they manifest every disposition to take advantage of the situation. This will eoon fill the Tribune fuil up. Last Friday's Standard was more than ordinarily severe upon the Tribune. Tri-bune. The article headed "The Tri-buoe Tri-buoe Humorous," was a scorcher. The only way to secure harmony m the repuolican rankB or among the papers, pa-pers, is to burn out or destroy either the Trioune or the Standard, or both. Ouu friend ohoemakor of the Manti Jilessenger is a first-rate fellow and we love him dearly and all that, but he rejoices re-joices a little too riuch over the formation forma-tion of women's republicans clubs in Utah. Can't you modify a bit on that, Joel? If you can you will soon become altogether lovely in our eyes. A WEiTJiR in the Agus pays the en ergy and pluck of Colonel Harvey of Coin fame a high, but rictily deserved compliment: Harvey's staying qualities qual-ities are something marvelous, and these will outlive the money qualities of silver, we fear. Thk Oden Press has it down fine. "If Judge King receives the nomination nomina-tion he will be the first congressman from Utah." Never bother, Brother Press. He'll get the nomination and be elected by a tremendous mojority. The Areus speaks of the honesty and integrity of the republican party in connection with the action of the Salt Lake county committee. For that sort of thing we point to the Tribune Tri-bune and Col. Trumbo. Thk Price Advocate is evidently preparing pre-paring to giye the new republican paper of Price a warm reception . The Advocate Advo-cate is both sprightly and nervy and the wool will fly when the two engage in earnest battle. The Argus ha3 a good deal of Trumbo literature these days, but it took the wrong shoot the other day, anent Col. Trumbo's invitation into the solemn mysteries of Masonry. Geokge A. Lowe, of Salt Lake, is mentioned as a probable republican candidate for the governorship. He is a clean, good mas, but won't get the nomination. Tn Salina Press draws a very briet but strong and effective contrast between be-tween Charley Crane and Hon. B. H. Roberts as eubernatiooal candidates. Jojel Shoemaker says organization is the secret ol success in politics. Not so. Harmony is that tecret and the republican party possesses it not. The Argus announces that.hereaftei it will be a clean cut out and out republican re-publican paper. That's hard on the Star and the Tribune. |
