Hlj Analysis of Vote in the City In 1903, When Morris Was Elected, Shows
l the Republican Candidate to Be the Stronger One Now.
SKI
jf Two years ago in 1903 when the
B Republicans of this city saw that
m their convention had been over
81 slaughed by Kearns' political de
M bauchery, they felt that they really
m had no Republican general city ticket
M in the field, and elected Mayor Morris;
SC this, too, at a time when the Demo
Ill crats had no hope of winning, and
would not have carried a single muni
Ul clpal "ward In the city if it had not
J been for the uprising in the Republl
II can ranks. It is contended by some
H that the figures of that election show
j Mr. Morris to bo the stronger candl-

ifj These figures, produced under such
circumstances, show conclusively that
H Salt Lake City Is not Democratic, po-
H lltjcally. Indeed, if, with the Republl-
ft can support of tholr candidate for
jH Mayor In 1903 not because of any
1 popularity he might claim for himself,
j but because of the disaffection among
H the Republicans If the Democrats In
j sucli a case could rpll up only 574 ma-
1 jorlty In two municipal wards for their
i ,- Councllmanic ticket, wftlle a majority
H f 1457 for the Republican Councllmen
H was piled up In the other three munl-
Ej clpal wards, then the Democratic
fil claim to bejng the stronger party now
Is' grotesque in Its absurdity.
I! Truth gives the foregoing tables
date now. Truth had analyzed those
figures carefully before Its utterance
last week, and found that they prove
beyond the shadow of doubt that,
with a real Republican ticket In the
field, as now, such ticket Is by long
odds the strongest before the people,
and Is the ticket with which to beat
the Kearns aggregation at this time.
Hero are two tables that show the
facts, the first being the vote for Mor
ris and Knox, nnd the second, which
Is necessary to a complete under
standing of the situation In 1903, being
the result on the Council ticket:
produced again, since nearly all the
producers thereof are now working
shoulder to shoulder for tho Republi
can ticket. But even with the disaf
fection over tho Mayor in the
Councllmanic fight tho Republicans
carried the city by 883 votes over the
Democrats. Hero are tho Republican
and Democratic majorities, respec
tively, by municipal wards:
that tho voters may have all tho facts
before them, and not bo misled by a
Juggling of figures on tho head or the
ticket two years ago, which are no
more a basis for accurate Judgment
on tho result now than would bo the
vote on tho head of tho ticket one
year ago, when President Roosevelt
beat Mr. Parker, tho Democratic can
didate, by a majority of 9425 votes in
the city.
Truth believes that the most de
slrablo end to bo attained in this
election Is to defeat Tom Kearns'
tools, who comprise tho so-called
"American" ticket, and by doing so
to save the city from debauchery and
financial disaster. We are with the
people in any sensibly policy to
achieve that result, and know that
tho straight tip on that policy is to
vote tho Republican city ticket. Truth
repeats what It said last week, that
any sane person can readily see that
tho contest for Mayor is between
Lynch nnd Thompson, with the
chances In favor of Lynch. Thoso fa
vorablo chances for Lynch have In
creased greatly tho past few days;
and reputable citizens, irrespective of
creed cr party, aro awakening to the
patent fact tbnt tho best and only
way to perform their whole duty in
this election is to beat Thompson
with Lynch.
Truth has always glvon tho people
straight, honest facts, Irrespective of
tho men or tho party it might hit, and
It does so now.

TRUTHS.
Who's ashamed of Salt Lake? Ez
Thompson, he's ashamed of Salt Lake
& w
"We're not ashamed of Salt Lake,"
and wo will never cast n ballot for
any man who is not willing to proclaim
from the very housetops thnt he Is
proud of Salt Lake and Its Institutions.
According to Tribune "American"
logic, If a man is well oft In this
world's goods ho must bo a favored
scion of tho dominant church, and
hence undeserving of political favors.
If you believe that no man who
worships God has a right to hold of
fice, vote the "American" ticket.
No! Don't rush off to Provo and
go to buying real estate yet. Tho
moving of tho "Mormon" tabernacle
and temple nnd transfer of tho semi
annual conference to that city Is, ac
cording to tho Tribune, contingent
upon the success of the "American"
party In tho coming Salt Lako eleo
tlon. Better bldo a wee.
& J
There are several reasons for not
voting tho American ticket, nnv one
of which, If understood by tho citizens
of Salt Lake, would result in the elec
tion of William J. Lynch and asso
ciates; but It was left to the party's
own organ to point out tho ono great
paramount reason, viz.: That In tho
event of the Kearns gang being elect
ed this fall, the seat of ecclesiastical

Remember, Republicans, that the $1 '
"Amer'-im" party was organized orlg- n M
Innlly o defeat the Republican Stnto I'l
ticket n 1904. Had Tom Kearns sue- 71"
cecded in cnrrylng his slalc through 1

would havo been no "American" f f'l
party. Hnd this gang sui'ceodcd last 111
year, there would havo been no I'l
"American" party this year. Tom ill
Koarns nnd his libelous sheet would ';
havo tried to get back In tho Repub- 1 It I
lican party, expecting tho party to ac- a! I
kowledgo Tom's great power and re- 91 I
celvo him with open arms. In fact, ono 91
of his henchmen told, tho writer of this III
not long" ago that Kearns squared' him- Jf I

promising to do that very thing.'. Ho I I
would do It now if ho could convince Rj I
Republicans thnt his power was worth I
