LOOK OUT FOR LIBERAL METHODS.

Liberal methods are being resorted to in
fixing up the coming registration lists.
Names are being stricken of and remarks
made opposite each name so erased, as
supposed to be polygamist." This has
been done in cases where no human being
short OF so-called Liberal ever heard or
thought of such thing as that the person
was not entitled to have his name retained
on the list Names OF young men never
suspected of polygamy are being or have
been erased. Another Liberal (!) method
of increasing the Liberal vote by decreas-
ing that of the Peoples party, is the get
ting of names on the new list wrong which
were correct at the last August election.
THE HERLAD wants every voter in the
ranks of the Peoples party to
make it his business to see that
his name is on the new list. Don't trust to
any one else to see that your name is there.
fIf you would have anything well done,
then do it yourself" is the substance of
the advice given by LoNGFELLow's sturdy
old hero, MILES STANDIsH, and it is Just the
kind of advice every member of the Peo-
pies party should take to himself, so far
as the seeing to it that his name is on the
city registration list. We warn the mem
bers OF the Peoples party to look to this
matter.
We have all heard the promises so freely
made by the so-called Liberals of free
water" The two items referred to above
show about how much faith can be put in
the methods of the Liberals. Don't
place trust in the promises of
- ,.@1-C 4
ways. Every one knows full well
that the biggest frauds on earth are those
most given to making promises.
The man who has no idea of making good
his promises has no regard as to the num-
Der or kind that he makes. An honest man
looks upon his word as equally good with
his bond, and for this reason he is careful
never to pledge his word on anything
where there is the slightest doubt in his
mind as to his ability to make it good.
We ask the members of the Peoples
party to keep on the watch for Liberal
methods and to pay no attention to their
promises.
'sBy their fruits ye shall know them" is
the way we desire all should test the So
called Liberals.
POPE says:
Words are ike leaves; and where they most
abound
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
The Liberal promises are words" and
there will be failure when looking for any
returns of fruit from them. Acts count in
the world, and the acts of We Liberal can
not be counted on by those who desire
substantial, honest and economical govern
ment for Salt Lake city. No pen can
speak with such eloquence as to the kind
of fruits by which the Liberals are to be
known, as the history they made in the
"Tooele Republic" and which they are
making in Ogden. The history made up
to date is of that character which brings
the blush of shame to the face of every
lover of pure and honest government. 1t
is with feelings Of the most perfect pride
and satisfaction that The HERALD can ask
its many readers to compare the govern
ments of the places where the Liberals
have ruled with what they were before
the latter gained control. Don't forget to
Judge them "by their fruits" and then
you will not forget to be on the watch con-
stantly for their methods.
Men that bankrupt a county and claim
to be better and purer than the people
whom they have robbed are the very kind
that will stand watching closely.
