DELEGATE CAME ACCEPTS.
HoN. JoHN T. CANES letter OF
acceptance was published, without
comment, in the DEssEEr News OF
Monday evening. It was received
barely in time for that issue. The
Peoples Party Of Utah feel proud
Of their nominee and he has cheer
fully accepted the nomination. His
letter is full of good points. What
he says viii be endorsed by the
great mass OF citizens in this Terri
tory.
We know personally that Dele
gate Game did not seek or expect
this nomination. It cane 10 him rs
the unanimous wish Of the Peoples
delegates IN convention assembled.
1t will be ratified by the Party ut
the polls. There are, As he says,
several men who would be accepta-
ble 10 the people and able rep
resentalives OF their interests
at the Capital, and whose names
have been mentioned when the SUBJ
iect has been discussed. But under
present circumstances the undis-
puted choice fell upon our present
Delegate, who has performed MS
duty fully, faithfully and with
marked ability.
Every measure that has been pro-
posed for the welfare Of Utah has
received his vigorous support.
Schemes Of plotting politicians for
personal ends, private ambition Or
party purposes ne has boldly opposed.
All honor 10 him for this. He
should be continued in office while
the present warfare lasts, and the
pending dishOnorabie efforts Of the
"Liberal' faction are directed
against the liberties Of the majority
Of our citizens. He understands
their nature and object, he knows
how to meet them efficiently.
His sketch of the record Of the
two parties il this Territory is
graphic and well timed. It should
stimulate the members Of the Peo-
pies Party to united action in
November. The caiamities that
have been the consequence Of
"Liberal'' rule stand cut as warn-
ings Of what would befaH the Ter
ritory, lift should be misrepresented
in Congress 10y one who mas ex-
hibited nothing but hatred and bit
terness towards the minority, and
who avows his intention TO work
for their entire political destruction.
The recori Of our Delegate is
without 4 st1in. He has worked
for the Interests OF al, whether
friend or foe. He has sought to de-
prive no man ofhis rights. He hiss
never refused his official aid to
any one who Invoked it.
He would not rob any citizen OF the
franchise, or attempt 10 obtain any
pisce or power by fraud. In this he
stands high above the low plane #
the "Liberal'' party on which his
opponent poses and which appears
TO be his fitting place.
We hope every member Of the
Peoples Party VIII follow the ad-
monition OF their candidate. Let
all work with a VIII, aud help to
make that majority for him which
is desirable and which the party Is
able TO poll il every vo:er viii do his
duty.
There is one consolation and
cause Of encouragement in this
campaign which the People should
not forget. 1t Is this: Whatever
frauds may be attempted by the
"Liberals'' in this election, they
will not succeed Is on other occa-
sions. Not only VIII tac vote OF
the whole Territory be counted
rs one, but should the same tactics
be adopted As at recent municipal
and school elections, they viii be
rendered abortivc because n higher
power can be invoked against them.
The House Of Representatives is the
judge Of the qualification and cleo
ton Of its members, and a thorough
test and exposure can be made
which would be far from AGREEABLE
to the promp:ers and abstte-s of the
attempted wrong.
Our Delegate goes into the field
fully equipped, with q clean record
Of his past, anu with haru:nges Of
sure victory FOR his future. Only
let the People do 1heir part. 2nd
