Show THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND SLUSH The Democractic party comprises thoussnds of men and women who conscientiously believe in Democratic principles as affording a better form of Government than that now existing. That the majority of the people . of Utah have not accepted those principles is in no measure a reason why the voters, believing In the Democratic party should not continue to fight for supremacy. ' Recently there has arisen a faction of the Democratic party that seems bent on digging up all kinds of scandal and irregularity of office holders' not with a view of remedying the conditions but with the object of securing success in i the next campaign. This is only a faction of the Democratic party largely composed of job seekers and those advocating the election of democrats from mercenary motives... Recently, they have secured the endorsement endorse-ment of the Salt Lake County organization of a publication whose main object seems to be to deal in slush in the hope that this will bring about success for their party. No party ever built itself up by tearing down its opponents... The true principles of the Democratic party will bear discussion and if it is to succeed suc-ceed with the voters it must be by representation of the policies the party fights for and not by mud-slinging, misrepresentation and insinuations by a small gang of would-be politicians who, like a barnacle on the bottom of a ship have fastened themselves on the body politic of the Democratic party. Just how far the true democrats are going to permit of their party being exploited for personal gain remains to be seen but it is generally believed that the gang, which is now attempting to use the democratic party for personal gains, are fooling no one. . , , |
