Show THE PRESENT DUTY. Tht Gentile Republicans should not become rattled rat-tled by any clamors of the streot or by any clamors clam-ors of the organ of the boss that betrays them and continues to betray them until the boss discovered dis-covered that he himself had been buncoed by the powr which he fondly hoped he had made a permanent per-manent alliance with, and then in a rage, suddenly sud-denly assuming a virtue which he never possessed, pos-sessed, bloomed out into a reformer arid with characteristic insolence begati to traduce and abuse all who would not back him in this latest scheme to bring the Mormon chruch to time. The first duty is to see that every vote possible is cast for Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors, for a Republican congresssman and state officers, that Utah may be represented rightly at home and abroad. When the election is over we all will consider local matters and what is best to be done, keeping in mind that justice is sure to have its innings after af-ter a while, that Utah must be an American state and that in Utah as in other states it must be Vox Populi Vox Dei and that' those words must not be revised. If Utah goes before Congress, a Republican Congress, with any demands, her people must go with clean' hands; when her people are asked if they did not organize, a new (party for the purpose of giving the electoral vote of the state to Parker and Davis, they must be able to answer "no." Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof; it is less than sixty days until the election. Let us see to it that no Republican votes are lost. When that matter is settled we can take up another. |
