T Sanford the sophomore peroration of oC Mr ne ney or the enticing promises of ot Mr Ir Ferry Ferry- Chief amonS among the Incidents which challenge attention In connection with 1 the wa waS the fact that Tom Ton 1 Kearns has forced them to put him out on the front line For years Tom has agreed reed with the general Judgment that the party would look better beter without without without with with- out any Kearns and because e of ot the gen general ral acceptance of or that sound doctrine doctrine doc doe trine Torn Tom has hns kept to the shadows Of Ot cour course the they have o taken orders from him and such mone money as the they could get which Set which wasn't much But they have ha not confessed his part In the control control control con con- of the tho American part party At the the however the rule rue was broken and Tom Torn made a speech We dont don't know who wrote It for him because be De no- no cause It hears bears tho the marks of oC several collaborators but It was waa successful in concealing Toms Tom's sentiments In boldly adverting to those virtues which one oue would think Tom would be self con clous enough to refrain from m mentioning min men n- n honing and In

quo qU- rum when he ho declares that the American American Ameri Amen can party believes In the people rulIng rul rul- ing Is he making a a. swipe side at that American pArt party rule which authoritative ey declares elected and atul appointed officers are not responsible to t the people but are responsible alone to the tho managers of or the party part And I If he were taking Issue Isue with sith that dogma always AS carefully observed in inthe inthe inthe the operations of the American n party parts wh why does he refrain from flom the tho bravo brave course of at talking plainly Ills His party part is on record record and and up to date no ono one In the party part has challenged the thc principle prin prin- ciple that cIple-that that the bos bosses cs rule If It a new system

result of or the t. t Mr Ir Branford Bransford Bran Brans- ford has been nominated for Cor mayor V. 0 Mont tont Ferr Ferry did that and did t clever cleverly Also he lie did it after aCter his

and b by the applause of the people present John Bransford therefore ma may be considered considered considered consid consid- ered the American party candidate for tor mayor next fall It Is rather a a. long race and maybe It was just as well wen to get the party part accustomed to that state of affairs Ve We c really have never seen an any wa way for or th the American c n I party part to escape from tho the tion of Mr Bransford Now that ItIs It ItIs itIs Is accomplished we shall rest easier casler It seemed scorned the logical thing to do jo But we didn't believe It possible It was too good g to be true Taken altogether we are for tor the It started with much prom prom- ise The Tho best members of that party part In the past were badgered Into going to the hall han and were promised a statement which would satisfy them both hoth as to th the past record of or the party part and for Its assured conduct In future And the they didn't get either Even Mr Ferry who grew eloquent over oyer the amount of or mane money the American Amen Ameri can party part has spent made his brightest bright bright- est picture out of ot what Is going to o happen thus happen thus sagaciously avoiding an any defense of oC the bad things of or the past I Reasonable people In Salt Lake Lalee whether they have or have not been formerly members of oC the American party part will look the matter over calmI calmly calm calm- l I ly and won wonder er wh why they should be expected longer to serve there lh The They have found no good reason In th the statement of their orators The They do lIo not believe the count county affairs are dishonestly dis honestly administered They know the state affairs are In capable an and honest hands They Ther give no sort of if t credence to the statement that the governor of Utah Is In tho the Bee Dee Hive HI house and the legislature In the tithing tithIng ing lug yard ard as one of oC the speakers rhetorically expressed It The people with
