| Show two cards yesterday evening following out an agreement between mr ration and mr brought that personalities regarding these two candidates should bo eliminated from the campaign mr patton published the following card in tle evening sun I 1 am very much opposed to making this a personal campaign private matters should not be drawn into this campaign it is ray idea to conduct this contest personal abuse of any man on the republican ticket A B PATTON in pursuance of the agreement mr brough has asked the publication of the following card I 1 regret very much indeed that the personal character and business of any man who is now aspiring to official position should be called into question in this campaign I 1 of this being clean campaign and am sorry beyond expression that it should be otherwise 0 M the sun started the campaign of personalities and this column was forced into some exposes which it regretted exceedingly being obliged to make but as one of the democratic candidates asks that the campaign be conducted upon alio lines laid down in the first issue of this column the request will bo heeded and unless occasion demands will retrain from considering the personal character or business affairs of candidates tills change is exceedingly agreeable to this column now let the sun to it that it respects the wish of the head of the democratic ticket and the campaign from this time on will bo conducted in a legitimate manner to the republican parly is not fighting for organized labor on the part of any particular union but on the part of r labor in general on tho part of railroad men telegraphers union tailors and sort of organized labor wo claim that the republican party ia the champion of organized labor and eliat alie democratic party in ogden is the enemy of organized labor and we cite the fact that the democratic party lias proven itself such by adopting a scab paper its official organ by placing on its ticket two pronounced enemies of organized labor and asking electors to vote for them abo tact stands out and can not be disputed that THE employs a force of union men and tho sun the democratic paper does not implom a single union man on its force not a single too of organized labor is on the republican ticket while the democrats have placed two pronounced enemies of labor on its ticket these things talk louder than words tho republican party is fighting for a principle and not for any particular union laboring men hear notes on the side A few evenings ago an elderly gentleman ono of the old residents of ogden while waiting for a meeting to begin fell into a conversation with several near him the subject of course being politics said the gentleman all my life I 1 had thought I 1 was a democrat until last year I 1 heard a speech delivered by mr eliodes alie lawyer in that speech he made several statements regarding the republican party which I 1 knew to be false this aroused me td investigate tho question for I 1 thought that if one political party had to lie about another to show that it was right something waa wrong I 1 then read up and studied politics the next few days and abo more I 1 read and studied the stronger republican I 1 became mr rhodes speech made mo a republican the sun of last evening as an excuse for vilifying F J cannon says that has commenced to lie about judge patton and has descended to the most miserable misrepresentations no allegation has been made about Mr Patton that can not be verified not a single lio has been published concerning him the proofs are ready for alie inspection of any one and an inspection of the documentary proof is ear gerly courted by all the trouble with the sun is that the truth hurts and tho truths published in this column are gall and wormwood to that sheet and to tho men who are unfortunate r enough to be championed by it labor is what will mako ogden and laboring men chief factors in the future prosperity of the city the republican party is the one party that has the record of being a friend to labor no laboring man in ogden can afford to vote the democratic ticket loaded down as it is are alie pronounced enemies of organized labor and backed by a party that has such a record of hostility to labor organizations think it over laboring men and calmly decide without prejudice which party it ia to your interest to support tho republican party of ogden is content to leave tho matter to the dionest judgment of the laboring men of ogden not a word has been or can be said against the character business ability or fitness for office of the republican candidate for mayor cannain brough mr brough the sun to the contrary notwithstanding has large property interests in ogden city and utah territory not speculative investments but investments made with full faith in the future the city and territory his fitness for the office no man can question the people of ogden and weber county ought to vote the republican ticket not only to send men to alie legislature who will carry out the grand principles of republican doctrine but a protest against the party that because of its supremacy in the nation has precipitated upon the country such an era ot financial distress as was never known under republican rule only 25 per cent of the weber county taxes leave boen paid so far a state of affairs directly caused by democratic rule alie farmers and taxpayers of weber county and ogden will not vote for the party of hard times and ruin to home industries nearly every man named upon the republican city county and legislative ticket is property owner in the city and interested in the prosperity of the city and progress of the territory another sun slander nailed the sun ridicules the arguments of S republicans but fails to make any ari gumont in reply to them ridicule may catch some unthinking men but the mass of the thinking voters will re 1 such work elect captain brough mayor of ogden and tho city will be sure of an able clean honest and progressive adais tra tion republicans will vote the straight ticket for it is worthy the support of every man in the community now let us see it the sun can conduct a decent campaign |
