things may engage the attention of ot tho Republic Republic- I sins ans Whatever is party policy or whatever has to do with candidates candidates- the platform or tho the ticket ticket certainly certainly should bo ho relegated to tho tile later convention convention con con- to the convention alone at I which platforms may ma- mabe be bo formulated and declared and at which candidates can cnn bo ho nominated Some Republicans ns believe belie it would I be well to discuss at tho the first meetIng meeting meet meet- ing to be held heM In May the general questions which affect the party part in Utah The Tho Republican with all the deference in the world does not agree I with wIh them We believe belie er C every matter matter mat mat- ter ter which can at nt all affect the tho party platform or the party ticket should go to the tho convention in which platforms plat Ilat- forms and tickets are decided upon Wo We do not believe tho the first convention that for or the selecting of delegates to Chicago is a proper time or place for or struggling over O these things They ca can cati not be bo settled there and if it they can enn not be settled there they should not bo ho projected thereAt thereAt there At tho the committee meeting in this city fast rast Monday some gentlemen expressed ex cx- pressed d the tile belief bellet that the tho matters t touching which Republicans ReVl of ot the the state arc divided would better be dis discussed discussed dis- dis cussed at tho the first meeting that meeting that to tobe tobe be held In May May because because l If It were postponed until later there would not be time enough to acquaint the people peo pea I plo pie of the state with v the tho matters mattera In dispute That is not complimentary to the tho Republicans of Utah Thero There isn't a hamlet In the state from Washington to Cache where matters mat matS of interest to the people are not understood and discussed sed The people have had somo sarno years cars of study They know Imo every e phase of the mat- mat ter tor They are arc discussing tho the question ques que lion tion and they ther have been discussing it for years No matter a
