Salt Lake City, Utah. 1 For the present campaign tlio nation al al parties in Now York, which cast M nearly one-eighth of all the votes in H the United States at tlio last Pros M; Idontlal election, have ceased to exist. H Tlio democratic opponents of Mr. H Hearst feared that tlio republican i politicians mlsht make It hard for H" them to vote for Mr. Hughes by driig M glng In partizan issues, but the candl M dato dispelled tnat fear 'in his speech H of acceptance, in which he defines H ' his own issues and laid down tlio lines H , of his campaign. In the whole speech H the to was no rcfcrcnco to any sub H jeet that divides the great parties. H Tho administration of President Roose H velt was praised for certain great H; achlovcmcnts in tho way of restrain H lug lawless combinations of capital. H Congress was praised for tho passago H j of tho Railroad Ilato act, tho Meat In H. spcctlon act, tho Puro Food act, and Hj tho Kemployers' Liability act. But all H theso wcro matters in which demo H ' crats woro at least as much interested Hi as republicans. "No one," said Mr. Hi Hughes, "can deny us tho right to pay Hi ' just trlbuto to 'Joffcrsonlan democrats' H or to 'Lincoln republicans." Our con i ; test is not with them, and tho cnndl H dates opposed to us aro not of them." H Tho supremo Issuo of tho campaign H Mr. Hughes declared to bo not ono of H ropublican principles or of democratic H I! principles, but "tho vital issuo of do H jj cent government." "It is an Issuo H " which shall array on ono sido all H lovers of truth, of sobriety, and of lion H i est reform, bo they republicans, dem H,il ocrats,.or Indopondcnts. H, In his letter accepting tho noml H'j nation of tho Indopondenco League H Mr. Hearst also emphasized tho non H partizan character of tho campaign. H i Ho told tho leaguo that it represented I I ' 1 "tho determination of tho people, Ir respective of party, to restoro the American system of government In this country." He held "tho great problem of the hour, the problem that tho people must solve with their bal lots and in legislation," was "to do away with corporation control of the government." That control, ho as sorted, "is now practically absolute. It rests mainly upon our system of par tizan politics, directed by boss rule and subject to trust ownership." Tho practical solution of tho boss question ho saw in tho Independent League's demand for "direct nomination of men to fill every public ofllce from assem blymen to judges and senators of tho United States. With tho installation of tho direct nomination system the people will chooso their representa tives, tho boss' will bo without power, and ho will disappear." With tho lssuos bo formulated, all calculations based on tho old party divisions becomo worthless. Not only Is there no Issuo between tho parties there Is not oven any direct Issue between tho candidates. Mr. Hughes takes his stand on tho principle of de cent government, but Mr. Hearst does not offer to meet him thero as the champion of Indecent government. Mr. Hearst says that tho supremo test 13 tho destruction of corporation rule, but Mr. Hughes does not present him self as tho defender of corporation rule. Each attempts to make his own Issue, and tho question is which the people will nccept as tho real one. On this question former election re turns afford no guide. It is not in conceivable that republican majorities up tho state and domocratlc majorities in New York City may both melt away. Mr. Hearst is In partnership with Boss Murphy in Manhattan and fight ing Doss Mcarren in Drooklyn. One boss is as bad as the other. Will Mr. Hearst bo helped by Murphy's al liance and hurt by McCarren's oppo sition, or vlco versa? His enemies say that ho will be hurt by both, but that seems hardly logical. Associa tion with n boss Is either helpful or noxious to a candidate, and a compar ison of next month's voting In Man hattan and In Brooklyn will show which. Mr. Hearst has displayed con siderable restlveness under his asso ciation with Murphy, and has allowed his Independence League to play ha voc with tho Tammany local, legisla tive, and congressional tickets. Col lier's Weekly. o Tho Herald doesn't liko the way County Clerk Eldredo has arranged tho names of tho candidates on tho voting machines. That's too bad. It's a pity Mr. Eldredgo didn't consult tho Herald about It. o If tho Tribune had no hlerarch what would tho Trlbuno do for editorial dopo? o NATIONAL PURITY LEAGUE. After reciting tho fact that tho peo ple eat too rich food and drink too harmful beverages; after dlrcctin gat lenUon to tho fact tint shop Eh'lu loss their virtue because they aro compel led to work for $3 per week, tho Na tional Purity Leaguo passes a resolu tion against peek-a-boo waists and low I neck dresses. Bully. That's tho way to reform things. Although we don't seo why the leaguo omitted to con demn open-work stockings, which aro equally as pernicious and harmful as tho waists and tho V-shaped corsages complained of. Tho purity leaguo is so practical. Realizing that tho shop girls aro tho ones who wear theso Inventions of dia bolical character, it proceeds to offer as a remedy their abolishment. Great heads! Wonderful think tanks! Sapi ent collections of gray matter. Lord of Israel, what a nice mess of reform ers tho country does produce when tho season Is good. In future when a man gets drunk, wo presume tho proper remedy for his condition will bo tho adoption of a resolution that hats cause baldhcaded ness, ergo, hats ought to bo abolished, That when a fellow Is addicted to stealing it is becauso ho doesn't wear Allcock's corn plasters, hence corn plasters should bo advocated. That when ho manifests a disposition to go out and smash some fellow, it is the result of neglect on tho part of his good wife to steep her tea properly. Purity leaguo, forsooth. It is just a band of Impractical kickers for tho purpose of telling people how awfully wicked they are, and never offering any remedy for conditions. It Is on a par with tho man in a medical profes sion who would sit down besldo tho bed and say to tho patient: "You aro afflicted with typhus In its most pro nounced form, but I cannot do any thing for you, except to recommend that your wife leave off wearing flan nel underclothing and use balbrlggan." Wo all know what tho matter is. We seo it around us every day. Wo don't need to bo told of it in prosy sermons or lengthy discourses. What we want is for some man, with horse sense, to get up and suggest some remedies. Everybody knows about tho Illness; what they want next is eomo Information concerning the medicine. State Journal. , ,j AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE QUES TION NOT POLITICAL. Editor Truth: Tho local democratic sheet has adopted as dastardly, low, sneaking and contemptible political stand as ever was belched forth from tho Kearns' sower. In great fat typo on tho front page of tho Logan Jour nal, wo find tho following: "A vote for tho Republican party, is a voto against tho Agricultural Col lege." This was dono to catch tho unin formed, but It most certainly lead to their sorrow. Had they waited until within a fow days of election and sprang this contemptible lie, thoy migflt have caught a fow of tho un wary in their net, but now, thero" Is plenty of time to refute their fabri cation. Republican County Chairman Thaino has Issued a challenge to tho democratic chairman for a debate be tween Mr. Barber, tho senatorial nom Ineo on tho democratic ticket, and Mr. Bullcn, tho senatorial nominee "on tho Republican ticket. Tho subject of do bato is as follows: "Resolved, that a voto for the Republican party, Is a voto against tho Agricultural College." Mr. Barber taking the affirmative and Mr. Bullen the negative. When tlhs challenge was read In tho Logan Re publican, democrats became as tounded, and some of their leaders emphatically repudiated their own party sheet. They will not, and dare not accept tho challenge They say they aro not responsible for tho slush dished up in tho trl-weokly baby trib une of Logan. If this Is tho sort of a campaign tho democracy wants to wage, they aro welcome to all tho glory and honor it will bring them. Democrats aro dosperato up hero, or they never would try to make a po litical issuo of the Agricultural College question. I take It that all public spirited men of all parties residing In this valley aro staunch supporters of tho Agricultural Collego remaining where it Is, and against consolida tion. Bringing it Into politics is very unfortunate and will have a tendency to do tho Institution more harm than good. Keep cool, boys, bo satisfied. Ala- ft, bama and Georgia are democratic, but you must never run off with tho idea that democracy will ever again man Ipulato tho affairs of Cache county. The record of their last county admin istration is still fresh in tho memory of tho people. They had better wash their linen clean before they ask cit izens and tax-payers to support them. Some right nlco goody-goody fel lows are gumshoeing it around among the people telling them that Bullen is ,si not a friend of tho Agricultural Col- H lege. Mr. Bullcn and Mr. Walters aro fl tho writers of the minority report of tho committee of invest!- t gatlon on consolidation appointed by v tho governor. Any ono that will take the trouble to read this report can seo at a glanco where Mr. Bullen stands, and that there is nono inoro loyal to that Institution than ho. j Logan, Oct. 15, 190C. REX. LOCAL PRESS SCINTILLATIONS. The business article which appears In the Deseret News Saturday after noons has received very 'favorable mention from a great many quarters. R. J. Jessup is tho author. Salt Lako nowspaperdom sustains a district loss by tho departure of Jo seph T. Jenkins for New York where ho will reside In the future and en gage In commercial pursuits. For seventeen years Mr. Jenkins has played a leading part in tho western newspaper world and ably filled every position ho hold. As a mining edi tor ho had no equal in theso parts. Ho and his family carry with them tho best wishes for their future hap piness and tho warm personal interest not only of newspaper men, but of a largo circle of other friends. ii DEATH OF THOMAS MARSHALL. Another old and highly respected member of tho Salt Lako bar has passed away In tho person of Thomas Marshall. Ho was one of the old school of southern gentlemen, high minded, honorable, kindly and gener ous. For nearly half a century he lived in Utah and practiced his pro fession In which ho stood In the very front rank. In a legal capacity ho represented many of tho largest busi ness Interests in tho west, and his clients ever had tho greatest confi dence In his integrity and ability. In , addition to being a great lawyer ho ' 7 was one of tho most kind and con- 1JI siderato of men, and enjoyed the es- X teem and generous regard not only 1 of tho legal fraternity but of the gen- oral public. Ho was a man of high Ideals and had an exalted view of tho dignity of his profession. Ripe and full of years he has gone to his roward, his work hero well done, but his absence will bo regretted and his loss felt. He did good always and tho world was better becauso ho lived in it o Neglected Nevada.
