CAMPAIGN CAROLS.

Wasn't that rousing meeting last night!
The four boodlers in the city council do
not like Judge Laney. They may have
cause.
II is rule or ruin with the bosses; and it
shall be ruin il the people don't assert
themselves at the polls.
Somebody with kodak should shoot the
star chamber committee and immorl aliZe
IL as warning fer generations yet unborn.
We agree with Anderson that the council
committee on police has got ali it can 40
now; and it isn't doing what it should even
then.
AZ don't think we ought to be vigila>tes.' u
said Councilman Pendleton to his Liberal
Republican friends, but they were just the
same.
No dark lantern committee investigated
Judge Lanev. That kind Of privilege is
reserved for offenders who train with the
Liberal Republican bosses.
1T strikes me that this action is hardly
worthy of this council" remarked Council
man Young. The gentleman has a higher
opinion of the council than the majority OF
the people.
When we talk about labor, don't let US
forget for a moment those who, like Cham
bers, Benson ana Burke, the Democratic
nominees for the legislature. give profitable
employment TO labor by the wholesale.
We have legal gentlemen, business men,
workingmen, and all of the highest integ-
rity aud standing, on the Democratic
ticket No interest will suffer by the eloc-
tion Of the entire list.
Honor bright, would not any citizen
trust his interests without fear
to the men whom the Democratic party
nominated for object Aud that is lust what
the people demand, that their interest be
in the safest hands.
What do Liberals think of the high
handed outrage committed by the city
council on Judge Laney! Even the most
hs rdened criminal has hearing before he
is convicted. Has it come to such a pass
in Salt Lake City that to be Democrat is
to be an outlaw and without right of hear
inh!
When the Liberals had the first repre-
sentaIion in the city council they selected
Mccormick, Dooly, Sowles and Roberts,
the best men they could get. Sowles is
now the Democratic nominee for county
collector. He has not refrigerated since
then. His life and record is his best en-
dorsement.
The minority made good fight for com
mon justice and dignifei light, but II
was hopeless fight, becsuse none Of the
Liberal Republica councilmen would dare
to ignore the behesis Of the bosses. II they
old, the organ might open war upon the
four boodlers and that would settle the ma
jority.
Councilman Parsons says that Judge
Laney had ample time to deny state
ment that appeared in print and credited
to him. Deny howi IL the council hear
ing evidence through the pressf III so,
why does IL not indict the four boodlers in
its body. Or il IL takes no Official cogni-
zance Of newspaper charges, wasn't the
only opportunity for Judge Laney to ex-
plain his position denied him on Thursday
1t has been charged by the Tribune tina,
there arc four LIBERAL Republican boodlers
in the city council and nothing except a
tame and hating resolution was passed

milder charge. alleged 10 be inspired by
Judge Laney, and Immediately the latter
was decapitated. And the funniest thing
about this discrimination is that the four
Doodle councilnen who take the accusation
against them quite naturally, as II they
were used to it, sat ia judgment upon
Laney. II the whole proceeding were not
damnsble II would be funny.
