NO. 64 EX-REPUBLICAN GIVES HIS VIEWS IN OPEN LETTER Predicts Lively Fun For the Onlooker at Republican Connty Convention -Tells of Combinations Made. litor Democrat: In political parlance we frequently hear of the "crimp" being put to some of the would-be candidates for office. Some of these aspirants have already had the "crimp" put into them and now they have their knives out to "crimp" the other fellowe. The Republican county tion to be held here on Monday promises some lively fun for onlooker.

There is going to war to the last trench and "crimp" dope is all the rage. Elias Gee, with his twenty-three, is slated for a "crimp" that will shrivel his political ambitions to the size a mustard seed. Mark Kartchner the Provo bench farmer, will walk away with the nomination for clerk and if he is elected, which, course, is doubtful, there will two deputyships at his disposal it is a safe bet that those who now opposing him will not pluck any of the plums. The scramble for office has resulted in combinations and trades that is disgusting to the average delegate and for reason the "crimp" is very apt be "put into" several of the wire pullers and tricksters. "You tickle me, and I'll tickle you" has been the slogan and woe be unto who will not i in the ticklers.

crimp is awaiting him or her, is, if the crimpers can deliver goods. The office seekers worked every scheme imaginable prevent men being named as gates who: were opposed to them, and those men who failed of tion 88 delegates through scheming have 80 manipulated things that they hold proxies will sit as delegates in the convention. The office seeker no sooner gets an opponent down than opponent looms up, smiling serene, with his knife glistening the morning sun, ready and anxious to use it on his political foe. legislative ticket has been fixed the "crimp" will not be used their cases, but there is war, war, from now until after the close on election day, among pie-bunters and the "pap" feeders. It does not matter with a Republican whether he has held office term, two terms, three terms four terms, he wants another Sacred promises are broken to quire just one more term.

He would violate his oath office, or his sacred honor (if ever had any) to stay in a fat one more term." While would-be Republican office are fighting among themselves, aVerage voter is never taken consideration. All he is good is to go to the polls and vote the man who has succeeded in ing the nomination (whether by means or foul), and pay his to be divided among the tors of these political schemes. the voter and tax payer is educated and is wise as to doings of these professional cians and the time is now ripe general skaking up and out. Put the "crimp" into them. Ex Marshall's Bakery and tionary at 124 West Center place to get your cake and tions.

William Sulzer, of New York, in the House of Representatives, Wednesday, May 27, 1908. The Democratie party today favors every reform demanded by the farseeing, patriotic and intelligent electorate of the country.

It is now, as it ever has been, the party of Jefferson, the party of the plain people, and the party of the constitution. It stande for equal rights to all, special privileges to none. It is opposed to the centralization of wealth in the hands of the few by the robbery, under color of law, of the many. It is opposed to the further centralization of power in the federal government by depriving the states of their reserved fundamental rights. It is the foe of subsidies and of every special privilege; and as a minority party, in recent years it has accomplished much for the general welfare in preventing the enactment of iniquitons Republican legislation for the benefit of the few at the pense of the many.

The Democratic party favors the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people, and will make it an issue and a live question in the coming campaign. It favors this change in the federal constitution as it will every other change that will restore the government to the control of the people It wants the people, in fact as well as in theory, to rule this great republic and the government at all times to be directly responsible to their just demands. la my opinion, the people can and ought to be trusted. They have demonstrated their ability for self-goverument. If the people can not be trusted, then our government is a failure, and the free institutione of the fathers doomed.

We must rely on the people, and we must legislate in the interests of all the people and not for the benefit of the few. We witness today in the personnel of the United States senate the supplanting of the democracy by plutocracy. Here Mammon is intrenched. Here the criminal corI porations take their stand and defy the people. Here is the last balwark of the predatory trusts.

Here in the citadel of the unscrupulous monopolies. And more and more the special interests of the country, realizing the importance of the Sen-1 Harvest and Mining Edition ate, are combining their forces to control the election of federal senators through their sinister influence in state legislatures. United States senators can prevent the enactment of a good law or the repeal ofa bad law. The United States senate is the most powerful legislative body in the world and its members should be elected by the people of the country just the same as the representatives in congress are elected. This is of the utmost importance to the wageearners of the country, because when the senate is directly responsible to the people they will control it; and then, and not till then, will that august body respond to the will of the people.

The right to elect United States senators by a direct vote of the people is a step in advance and in the right direction. I hope it will speedily be brought about. It is the right kind of reform, and I hope it will be surceeded by others, until this goverament becomes indeed the greatest and the best and the freest government the world has ever seen, where the will of the people shall be, as it ought to be, the supreme law of the land. Next Week the Utah County Democrat will Publish Another excellent booster edition, The Harvest and Mining Edition. It will be the finest edition of its kind ever published in this county and equal to any in the This paper has the reputation of publishing the best "specials" and the reputation will in no way be impaired.

Provo will receive considerable attention and several excellent articles have been prepared. The edition will be well illustrated. A new feature will be the cartoon work. The edition will be an excellent advertisement to be sent out by boosting citizens of this city, WISE JIMMY IN HAPPY MOOD Newsy found Wise Jimmy time in better spirits than at his last interview. The big man seemed to be in a mood of self congratulation.

All his remorse and compunction over his self debasement had gone glimmering and he was felicitating over some new plece of underground strategy. His big ambiguous eyes were rolling from side to side as if in a state of iniquitous intoxication over the bear achievement of some piece of mercenary work that he deemed worthy of his metal. Newsy, thinking back to his state of mind at his last interview with him and comparing it with his present looked upon him as some sort of Dr. Jeckel at large and intensifled. Newsy remarked something to this effect when the two faced man effused something like this: "Oh yes Newsy, that was a moment when conscience erupted through the crust of venality that has been thickening over it for some years but like the Frisco earthquake that only happens at rare intervals, and I don't look for that to happen again during Mr.

The concentrates from the lost Josephine mine, which were brought back by A. O. Smoot, have been assayed by Mr. Kroupa with the following result: 94 ounces gold and 503 ounces silver, which gives a value of $2,256.10 to the ton. The concentrates from which the above assay was made were taken from about seventy five pans of dirt.

There is some surprise that there should be so much silver as that is rather unusual. The mineral which the miners believed to be platinum appears to have been silver. Work will be prosecuted vigorously on the mine all winter. President Singleton and the other members of the board feel that there is no further question of the value of the property, and that with greater depth, when the levels of the old workings are reached, the gold will be taken out in quantities such as the Mexicans used to carry away according to tradition and records. FIRE DESTROYS GEO.

E. HOWE'S BARN. At 12.30 o'clock Thursday night the fine barn of George E. Howe at 467. North Academy Avenue was totally destroyed by fire.

The building had been double planked and lined inside and was used by Mr. Howe for an ice house. An incubator and a few other things stored in the building were also destroyed. The fire laddies made 11 good run, but were too late to save the barn as the fire had made great headway before disenvered. The cause of the fire is not known.

POLITICAL NOTES (MOSTLY TRUE) The county political machine is being greased and put in shape for another grind. Some of the technical parts of the combine are being tested by the chiefs and it will only a short time before the thing will in excellent running order. It now seems that the bunch have decided war upon the three -term office seekers and have used C. A. Glazier the Aaron of the business.

At Republican convention which will held next Monday, this gentleman will present a resolution against three-term office holders. This means that the machine has decided in favor of other candidates, and Dunn, Gee, Harmon et will have to hunt for other jobs. The reason that these men have not the sanction of the machine can stated, but it may be that the bunch is afraid that it would mean the defent of the county ticket if they were allowed to run. The exposure of Senator Fora. ker's attorneyship for the Standard Oil Co.

is the political sensation of the campaign. It is said that the Republicans in high office have all along known of his connection with the oil trust. It, however was not for them to turn on the light and expose one of the most conspicuous leaders of the party. Mr. Hearst who made the exposure, has himself said that it will probably not hurt Mr.

Inft's campaign. That it is the knell of Mr. Foraker's political career the opinion everywhere. -A girl for general house work. Apply in person to Mrs.

we've noted all these insurgents and now you watch us put the screws' to them. you Newsy, no man in this county, however big is he may be, can back up against me and walk off with his load. Now the county convention will be held here Monday and Newsy you watch me get my work in. Here's a letter of instructions that I'm going to send out to all the delegates. It's a little lengthy or I would read it to you, but the substance is thing like this: I have ordered all the delegates to 'out out' all 'third it termers' for any county office.

Bro. Glazier will put this through. Then no man must be nominated except those we can depend upon. For the legislature we must have dependable men for you know Reed's return depends upon that. Bros.Jackson or Wooten of Forkwill do as one; be has shown himselfall right.

Bro. Pageand Bro. Gardner will find a suitable from the south end end Bro. Chipman will arrange the north end. For Provo I have instructed the delegates to put up Bro.

Bowers. Of course, Bro, Bowers is not a Mormon, but he is just as good for our purposes. He is very dependI able and you know that is the imp qualification. Bro. Bower's last tertn in the legislature shows that he is implicitly in our bands RACES POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT OF STORM.

This in a great honor we are showering upon Bro, Bowers and he ought to appreciate it.

"But say, Newsy, it did scare me when it looked like Uncle Jesse was going to be the Democratic candidate for governor. Why that would break into all our plans and spoil our gume entirely. But it just makes me laugh to see how confident these Democrats are.

Do you think for A moment that we would allow Uncle Jesse to run for that office? Not on your life. No, no; we'll turn heaven and hell to prevent that.
