Pf J VOL, L LOGAN, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1902. No77. ' 9 THE JOURNAL SAYS TMs, That art the Other About BMlfen's Candidacy And at the Same time Barber Lives In a Glass House. "Some will vote against young 'Ilcrtlc' Ilullcn because lie Is a Re publican; others because lie, himself, already holds an elective otllce and his father Is drawing a plump salary from the State: and vet others because he lacks the ago, wisdom, experience and knowledge possessed by his com pet Itor in the race, Mr. Barber. And all of these votes that Mr. Ilullcn falls to get will add to Mr. Barber's majority. i Journal. , Did wc desire we might, answer , the Journal in the same strain, 'thus: Some will vote against "Genrglo" Uarber because he Is a Democrat. Others because he, himself, already holds an appointive otllce and Is draw ing a plump salary from the county. Others remembering tltc years when ho served as Assessor and Collector of this county, will vote aguinst'hlm on the ground that he has had enough. A large number will vote against him because If elccted'hcwould vote for a Democrat for United States Senator, and this is.not.nyear and now is not a time to be looking for Democratic U. S. Senators; oven if it were, judging from the post, .it would be folly to elect Mr. Barber, as 'the 'Democrats arc not lmthc!habltof electing U. S. Senators at all. All of these votes that Mr. BarboT falls' to get will add to Mr. Bullerimajorlty. Our worthyicontemporary assumes entirely too ranch in the above. With the voters of Cache county it is not a question of what, position Mr. Bullcn may be 'holding .at present. If he Is holding .a position of honor and trust, one that requires mental culture and business (ability, it is because he has by hard study and close application prepared lilmsolf fcr the position. It is because the men who put him in that rposltion recognized In him the j qualifications necessary to the best y management of the otllce. And this is anairgumcnt forhls election, rather than .against dt. Solar, us thoscwho show a disposi tion too iclalm he is trying. to hog the ring, the .idca.lsmot countenanced by any wtwowill look at' the matter fairly. The Journal morely seeks' to take ad vantage 'Of the .feeling it imagines ex ists on itheipart'of the defeated candi dates and ithoir;frlcnUs, buti these men arc too iloyal to the i party of 'which they wore. asking ifavorsto.permlt the esteemed Journal ito.imposaupon them in this manner. rBliall Itlbe held against tthiscandldatc,'that!his father "Is dram-ilng .a plump laryitrom the state?" This JsinotMerschcl Bullcn asking tor .his son's .recognition, but It is Hersdael Bullen Jr. masking ifor rcc ognltlon -on Mb merits,, andithe voters will so consider it. In comparing the .qualifications of Jlullen and Barber, .and -seeking to .make that oarapariQn .detrimental ito Bullen, the Journal Js .nelthor fair snor honorable. Barber Js aiman thor oughly competent to repreacnUCache .county in the stale Senate Jle is a .ready speaker and a .good .thinker and if .by a turn of fortune lie should Jiap- pen ito be elected tliere is lltiUcidoubt ,tnat Jie would be a credit to the .coun ty. However, Bullen Is equally ,qual- fp . jiied. He Is a graduate of t Jie State "7 UnJwGmity, has taught school for years, Jias also been a successful farnf cr and business man, is a fluent talker, and as, a man prominent in tlie affairs of tlie county during the past eight or ten years is a man thoroughly con versant with the needs of the county. He Is also a student of the state's af fairs and is one of the progressive ele ment. Neither Democrats nor Re publicans doubt the capability of either man, but this can be said in favor of Bullen that can not be said for the other man: Ho stands as the representative of the party that has done most for the people orthc United States; the party that stands for all that is glorious In the history of the country; the party of protection, plenty of work and good wages; the party that has done all that has been done against trusts; the party that hits done most for Utah; and for these reasons he asks your votes. There Is a Senator to bo elected by the next legislation and It is a vital thing to the Stuto of Utah that that Senator be a man In accord with the adminis tration for 'tis useless to send a Dem ocrat to Congress and expect any fuv- & ' ors for the State. For this reason pv Jlullen should be elected. There Is ., "WidVi. little doubt that there will be an over whelming Republican majority in the State legislature. If the people of Cache county send a Democrat down there, be he as good a man as Mr. Bar ber, lwwmuch can "ho do for Cache countyV Very, very little, conse quently the voters of Cache county will elect Mr. Hcrschcl Bullcn. THE FIGHT TOR COMMISSIONER. Wc have nothing to say that is de rogatory to the personal character of either candidate for commissioner on the Democratic ticket, but wc do say that the county roads arc in about as bad condition as they could be. They arc lumps, bumps, ditches and sink holes, and the smaller bridges arc full of holes that arc dangerous. It is also true that the present tax rate is very high considering the good that has been accomplished by the money ex pended. Such condlt Ions do not show the exercise of ability and business management, and it Is a sure thing that Cache voters desire a change. The candidates on the Republican ticket have given evidence of thorough capability, and It is not doubted that each man is a safe, conservative, busl ness'llkc citizen in whose hands the county's business may be trusted. Mr. Smart, as a stockman has ever been In such a position as to enable him to un derstand the needs of the county bet ter than most men engaged In other lines of business, and the fact that lie has been enabled to make a financial success of his own business would lead anyone to believe that he could and would transact the business of the county in the same successful manner. B. A. Hendricks travels over the coun ty continuously and Is thoroughly con versant with the people and the needs of the people. He has an excellent reputation as a business man, and is said to be exceptionally well fitted for the duties that would be his as com missioner. C. L. Anderson, though a young man, is a thoroughly Intelligent gentleman who has given ample evi dence of successful business capacity. The Republicans of that vicinity were unanimously for him, sufficient evi dence In Itself that they recognize in him the qualities necessary to make a good commissioner. In view of the fact that the work of the present com missioners is unsatisfactory, would it not be well to elect the men named on the Republican ticket? The Republi can nominees are pledged to give the county a more business like adminis tration than we have at present, and those who know these men do not doubt that the pledge will be fulfilled. WHOSE OX IS CORED? The candidacy of II. Bullcn, Jr., for State Senator seems to hurt the Jour nal, and the fact that he is connected with a leading educational institution seems to add fuel to the flames, judg ing from the expressions made in their editorial columns. The Journal is, and has always been, built on that plan in which It all depends on whose ox is gored. A few years ago wltcn the President of the Institution in which Mr. Bullcn is now laboring ran on a Democratic State ticket, and a prom inent member of the faculty of that same (institution ran for a county of ,llce, iboth being elected and both per lorming the duties of their political otllccs and retaining their positions in the.educational institution, it was a wwoct .morsel for the consistent (?) Journal. Should wc at this time say tliata principal of one of our Central schools is a .Democratic precint ciialr nuua, and .that a prominent teacher in that same .school holds a like position, and suggest ithat this "may be their undoing," fur .our public schools "can not afford sue!) busy political parti sans," the Journal would fly into a rage, and cry Injustice In angry tones. "Consistency thau art a jewel!" IN IEIAU Of TURNER. Hyrum Hayball, chairman of the Board of Commissioners at the time Fred Turner was slierlff, is out fair and square for Turner for sheriff at this time. Ho recognizes Fred as be ing the most ctllclent sheriff Cache county ever had, and believes in plac ing that kind of men in charge of the county's business affairs. Mr. Hayball was in a position to know Just exactly how Turner managed things, and it Js to tils credit that he is now ready and willing to stand by what lie knows to bo tliu truth. Tumor was never afraid to go after a criminal of any sort, and while It oftentimes re quired an outlay of money, yet the re sult was always satisfactory. Mr. Hayball will testify to this-a fact that should have Height with voters who desire to sec growl men in otllce. If you have not icgUtcred, do not forget to do so on the 28lb. KEARNS--CLARK Rally at Logan Friday Night Drew the Big gest Crowd of the Campaign. The Republican rally last Friday night may be regarded as a signal suc cess. There was every reason why it should have been a success the prom inence of tho speakers; the enthusias tic feeling of the Rcpubllcansof Cache county; the undoubted popularity of the Republican county ticket; the In terest that is taken in the candidacy of Hon. Joseph Howell for Rcprcscn sativc; the tireless efforts of the coun ty committee and various women's clubs, together with the efforts of In dividual Republicans, all combined to make the rally the great success It was. Thatchers' opera house, the place where the rally was held, was" not large enough to contain the number who desired to hear Senator Kcarns and his colleague from Wyoming, Sen ator C. D. Clark, the entire seating capacity and standing room being oc cupied. From the rapt attention giv en by the audience it may be inferred that this immense crowd came to listen, not out of Idle curiosity. The scene presented was of a gay and Joy ous occasion and will be remembered by those present as one of considerable note. The stage had uooqdceo rated with bunting and (lowers, and placed con spicuously before the audience were large pictures of Presidents Lincoln, McKlnley and Roosevelt, draped In the national colors. On the stage with the speakers were seated a large number of Cache's prominent Repub lican workers. During the gathering of the audience the Hyde Park band dispensed charming melody with a free hand, and by the time W. W. Maughan, as Chairman, introduced the first speaker, Senator Kcarns, the audience was in an excellent humor and thoroughly ready to listen to the arguments of the evening. Mr. Kcarns' talk was largely 41 plea for a full representation In Congress. With himself, Mr. Howell, and the next Senator a Kcpublicanhe felt Unit much good might be accomplished for the State of Utah, lie spoke of the mining industry, of the Philippines, the trusts and the tariff. In a .few words he offered a comparison of Dem ocratic Uieory with Republican iuets and results, lie asked for an endorse ment of President Roosevelt's (policy, and spoke of that man's i riendship for tlie West. Mr. Kearns touched. on the Irrigation proposition and suggested what a full Republican .representation in Congress might be .able to .do for Utah along this line. He is a firm be liever in the policy of President Roose velt and suggested that Republicans could not afford to go .back on .him at this time. Ho urged ithat the .ticket be voted straight from Justice -of the Peace to Representative in Congress for in that lay tlie future alvation of tlie party- I-n Jefer.rlng to Senator Clark he spoke of him as .being Utah's third Senator, saying .that Clark's in terest in the State of .Utah hadthurdlyi been less than his own. Mr. Kcarns was accorded hearty .applause. At tin's Juncture the WclLsvllle .Ju venile Glee Club was givon an oppor tunity to vocalize to .a (considerable extent. Tlie dub Js .composed of boys ranging rom Jo to li years of age,! and tlteJx renditions wore ituly excel-' lent. The boys were accorded a hcanty' reception and a persistent encore brought them back for another song. Senator Clark was then introduced and it took but a half dozcu MardsJ from him to completely win Ids audi-' ence. Mr. Clark's Iwiue is in Evans ton, Wyoming, not far from (lie Utah line, and lie spoke of this In such a way as to win him a warm place Ju the hearts of his beard's. His entire talk was far from abuse or anything in any way that, could olTrnd even the most sensitive, and instead was one calcu lated to appeal to the reason of every body. He has u very pleasant manner, a happy way of stating mutters, and the large audience showed Its appreci ation by frequent and continued ap plause. At the beginning he eulogized tho State and tho Valley. Said that he was glad to meet with the people of Logan because he appreciated the advantages of Logan and the possibil ities of this part of the State. Al though the greater part of his man hood days had been passed In Wyom ing and while he expected to live there and die there, still lie felt a deep In terest in Utah, inasmuch us that part of Wyoming now his home was at 0110 . i time a part of Utah. In speaking. of how great a State Utah really Is, Mr. Clark said: "Yon may build a stone wall around the State as high as the stars in heaven and Utah can produce everything needful for her use and ev ery luxury her citizens can desire." He then spoke of a desire to bring the political situation down to a business proiosltlon and piocecdcd to put the proposition before the people In an in telligent manner. He said that he had 110 desire to influence the audi ence by his talk from the plat form, but asked his listeners to take home with them what he said, wcigli it well and If they found his words to be ttue, to do what. seemed tlie right thing. "Parties arc known by their results," said he, and then proceeded to show that every elTort of the Dem ocratic party had had bad results, and every effort of the Republicans had correspondingly good results. He went back to the time of Buchanan and told of that instance where the President tried to borrow, money at 0 per cent, and couldn't do It, and compared it with the recent loan that was asked for. The U. S. asked the world for $200,000,000 at 2 per cent, and had $1,400,000,000 offerrcd and to day those 2 per cent, bonds are worth 108. He told of the surplus that was in the treasury at tlie beginning of Cleveland's administration and how lie had to borrow more than $200,000,000 all because of free trade. Compared this with present conditions under the Dinglcy tariff law, when there is now an enormous surplus In the treasury. He suggested that Democrats should use this as an argument against the Republican party. Said there is too much money In the treasury, but that the G. O. P. would see that it was put out to the best advantage. From tho tarllf ho went to the trust question; said it Is not a political ques tion, and did not have anything to of fer against trusts. He believes in combination of capital not that kind of organization, however, that seeks to monopolize. He went on to show that but 12 percent, of manufactured articles are made by trusts, and that the enormous -steel trust manufactur ed but 7 percent, of all steel articles manufactured in the U. S. The Dem ocrats claim that the tariff fosters' these trusts and that we must have free trade to kill them off. Clark maintained ithat it Is not right to kill off 88 percent, of our industries that arc not in the trusts, Just to lctD the 12 per cent, .that are. lie beUcwes In legislation .against .monopolies and says tliat Republicans will modi this exigency Just-as successfully as lit has every other .proposition. Ths people do not need to feel alarmed, (for the Republican party has always taken care of the-country In about tiie. proper way and imay be trusted in tills. Ev erything Js .running along smoothly every man .can vwork that wants to and can et. good wages forhis .work.

In one yeur after .the, change :i,000,000.mcn were of work and out f unoney. -"Soup houses wcro the only nourishing industries." "There Uai tendency on the part of the people to .not .want to let good enough akanc-ithcy .want a change .hut they .cannot afford it in the.atTairs of government,'" said .Mr. Clarfc. -"People would lather ibollevc a big lie .than toJook atsauill, simple truths and be convinced said thus it was that they were led astray on bee .trade." The speaker .touclied on "Expansion iu the Philippines," iut said it is .a de-ad Jsuie. "We are already expand ed. Our Hag is in tho Philippines and tlwre It 'lll star, "said he. Wo liave one thousand American teachers in those islands trying to instill Into the minds of tliose Filipinos the real prin ciples of true liberty and wc will not recall them. Duty lias pointed the way aiul wc cannot shirk tlie responsi bility. M r. Clark scored Rawlins, al though he mentioned 110 names. He said that he had heard things on tho Senate floor that made his cheek burn for shame. American soldiers attack ed, the Hag besmirched by tultors at homo and suggested that Utah must rest under a cloud until she shows that sho appreciates the situation and relegates to tho rear a certain United States Senator. The irrigation question then en gaged his attention and he piocecdcd 1 - to tell how tlie measure had been In augurated by Republicans, fostered by Republicans and finally brought to 11 successful termination by n Republi can President. Mr. Roosevelt, know tho West, Its possibilities and Its needs, felt a great Interest In tho irrigation problem, and desired to do something to help those statesmen from the west who had been making such a gallant but hopeless tight. Ho called the western men together, told them to unite on what (hey wanted and ho would do all In his power to help them secure what they wanted. Tlie west ern men did get together and present ed to the President their Ideas. He concurred In them and urged their ac ceptance upon Congress. A big fight was made. Every clfort was made to kill It, especially by the party of the opposition, but by President Roose velt the day was saved and the Irriga tion bill became a law. This bill Is of untold benellt to Utah, along with other western states. Utah's arid lands will be reclaimed which means the addition of millions of dollars to the wealth of the state. Can the voters of Utah afford to turn down a Presi dent who has done so much for theinV Will they not vote for a Republican Representative to Congress, and vote for the Republican nominees for the State legislature, thus Insuring the election of another United States Sen ator In accord with tho desires of that President? Mr. Clark made mention of the re cent coal strike. Said that Democrat ic politicians were trying to make use of that unfortunate affair as a cam paign argument. He insisted that it was not a political question and had no connection with tlie political situ ation. He did claim that President Roosevelt deserved great credit for his successful efforts In the matter, but docs not say that the Republican par ty should have the credit for It. He merely used this to show that we have a President who generally docs what ho undertakes. Mr. Rosevelt deter mined to have the irrigation bill be come a law and went to work on It. He was met by all kinds of difficulties, but was successful. He decided to end tills coal strike, If possible. He went at tho proposition and It seemed that he was about to fall, but he took fresh energy and the world knows the result. Mr. Roosevelt says that tho trusts will receive a knockout blow before a great while, and those who know his record cannot doubt that what he says will become a fact. "The country is safe in tills man's hands," says Mr. Clark, "and no one need worry. We have plenty of money, wc arc a happy and contented people, tho grand old Hug still floats over us, and we are recog nized as the biggest, proudest and -richest nation on the face of the globe. Why seek to change these conditions? Why run Uhc risk of spoiling It all? You cannot afford It." The Senator paid a tribute to Hon. Joseph Howell, and told the audience that he was just such a man as could represent Utah In the best manner. It is the man of character, honesty and integrity, that counts for most In tlie halls of Congress, and Hon. Jos. How ell possesses these qualities In the highest degree. He Impressed upon tlie people the advantage of sending to Congress a Representative and two Senators In accord with the adminis tration and suggested that It Is prac tically useless to send a man there who is not Insiccord with tho major ity of Ids colleagues. If Utah wants anything from tho government It must send men to Congress who will uphold the governmental policy. With a solid front, Utah could ask for and get what slie wanted. Tho Senator also spoke warmly of Mr. Kcarns. "No man has worked more faithfully than he for Utah's In terests," suid Mr. Clark. "He posses ses a character of sterling worth and has brouglit to bear every Influence at his command for the benefit of this State and the nation. The Congress ional body does not hold a truer patri ot, a more earnest, devoted member, and no man Is regarded more highly as a gentleman having the best Inter ests of tho country at heart. He has worked well and voted well." All through his excellent talk he was heartily applauded, and when he sat down he was cheered to the echo. At the close the Wellsville boys were iu evidence again and sang a song ulwut "Billy King." The boys proved a popular feature of the show. The band then gavo a selection and the affair was u thing of the past. Tree Delivery. Most of tho stores have been num bered.

FACTS 1 Democratic Press Makes Claims '.H Not Supported by Facts. H Cost of Living In England Is as H High as in the U. S, H The claim Is often made that while H wages arc higher in tho United States H the cost of living is correspondingly H cheaper In Great Britain. That this H statement is erroneous can be proved JH by olllclal statistics obtained slmul- IH tancously In both countries. In 18li! M the Senate Committee on Finance ll made an extensive rcpoit on "Retail Prices and Wages" hi leading cities of H the United States and Europe at dlf- H fercnt periods from June, 1801, to H September, 18!)!). Among the cities ,.H considered In this report wcro St. Il Louis, Mo., and Manchester, England, flH cities for which wage comparisons M have just been made. A comparison ''H of the prices of articles of Identically H the same description, obtained at tho H same time, namely, June, 1807, and jH September, 1809, in both cities, shows ,H that Instead of tho necessary com- JJH modttlcs of life being higher In the '.jH United States than In England, they .H arc, on tho contrary, as a rule, much H lower. Most of the necessary food . jH products, such as bread, eggs, lard, ';H bacon, roast beef, hams, mutton, milk, 'M starch, and canned vegetables, were '.' much lower In St. Louis than in Man- M Chester, while tho prices of tho few re- . maining food products averaged about vilH the same In both countries. With regard to clothing and cloth ? goods, wc find that men's hosiery, cot- 'M ton shirts, sheetings, shirtings, and 1 cotton and woolen dress goods of the ;H same description and quality, were jH cheaper in St. Louis than in Man- H Chester; that carpets, flannels, and 'IH cotton underwear averaged about the "jH same, and that only in the case of men's hats was there any decided dlf- 'M ference In favor of the Manchester ,tH purchaser. -JH Housohold articles, such as earthen- ,)H ware, glassware, and cutlery, were H nearly the same price In St. Louis sis H in Manchester, with a very slight dlf- .jH ference in some cases In favor of the :H latter city. On the other hand, fumU LH tu re costs from about one-fifth to one- jjH half as much in the United States as jjH in Great Britain, so that for tho cost ;' of one bed-room suit In Manchester fjH one could buy from two to three set )H in St. Louis; and for the cost of one ' jH dining table at Manchester, a whole H dining-room set could bo bought hi St. H Louis. (H But the question may be asked, "If lH the American worklngmen cam so- H much more and pay so much less for H wliat they consume, why are they not jH all wealthy and contended?" Tho an- jH swer may bo found In the statement f of an eminent French scientist. After iH summing up the conditions of labor in lll America as compared with Europe, he lll says that wages in the United States IH are alout double tho wages in Europe; H that objects of ordinary consumption 'IH by working people (excepting dwelling 1H houses) cost less in the cities of the fH United States than in those of Europe; -H that the American workingman lives flH better than the European, that he i'l cuts more substantially, dresses bet- lj tcr, is more comfortably housed und tjJH more often owns his dwelling, spends ?:H more for life Insurance and various ho- -lH cial and beneficial associations, and, 11 in short, has a much higher standard 'H of life than the European working- jH man. iH Oos't rtrjet to Register. fljl Tuesday, Oct. 28, is the last chance 11 you have to register.
