They Howl for Campaign Purposes and with |
Malice Observation-Disclosures
For some time past politics has been dead
issue in Nephi, but of late the political pot has
been sinmering little, and from present ap-
pearance it promises to reaoh the boiling point
sooner than anyone anticipated. AT least this
Will be the case If certain official soreheads
who train with the Republican ring combi-
nation succ ed in their designs. The latest
move OF the said office seekers ring came 10
light few days ago in the form of a complaint,
lodg d by some member thereof, against the
c. unity court charging its members with having
misappropriated funus for mileage, extra time.
summoned Tuesday last TO appear with his
Provo. When seen by your CORES
pondent, Mr.. Clayton remarked that there was
little else TO be said in addition TO the above.
glance at the minute book was enough TO
convince US that it was merely a tempest in a
teapot, gotten up wholly and solely Tor political
effect Mr. Billings, a Democratic member
IRON Eureka is obliged to spend three days to
attend court one day, ana 6ecause he charges
for his time at the rate OF d per day ana the
court allows il, as all true American citizens
ara willing 10 DO our friends, the enemy, are
bowling themselves hoarse crying fraud ex
travae anes, etc. in other words they say that
81. 3Sl5 per day in town where board aid loog-
ing can be hal for u. rs per day is enough for
any man, especially If he is a Democrat. The
next entry pointed at as an astounding fraud
showed that some time during last winter
Mr.. Billings came to Neph1 by rail at
time when the Goshen road was
practically impossible and charged mileage
along the line travelled instead OF the geograph
! ical short cut mapped out by the ring" To
make the matter stlll worse he charged S. for
! bringing prisoner along with him, which was
also an outrage, because it was fully one third
as much as our Republican sheriff would have
| charged for doing the work in q professional
manner.
4hep Mr.. Rasmussen. of Levan, the Peoples
party member, goes home to roost and charges
mileage for coming back, which. OF course, is
another robbery, beccuse it is more than sus-
pected that he voted against the ring last
August
this noise and unless the reasons disappear.
which is not a. all probable, the racket will
! continue until after election day at least.
| II all happened in this way: Reason No i
The late county court appointed Henry Adams,
| a Liberal Republican, as prosecuting attorney.
vice James Il. Wallis, resigned, and when the
present court was elected, instead of resigning
| and allowing them to fill the vacancy, he at once
| petitioned for an increase Of salary from $50 TO
SO per month. This was answered by request
thai he resign on the ground that he neither
represented the people nor the court, but OF
course, being Republican OF the Thayev
stripe, he failed to resign and thus, through
some technicality never TO be understood by a
true American, he still holds on and kicks at
the powers that be.
Reason number two-The county clerk, an.
othsr Republican asked for an increase in his
MED on the ground that but little more thar
half his time was occupied in the services Of
the county aside from lee work.
Reason number tnree-While there was so
much railroad work being done near Eureka
| short time ago the court deemed it wise Il
send The sheriff over there 10 remain for shor
time, and very generously raised his salary
from $50 TO slU9 per month. AS soon as his mis-
sion had been flled and the ra!iroaders haC
finished their work, the salary was RACED dowI
to the orig nal amount Now this was 18th,
most unkiudest cut Of all" for meantime yer,
neat little political scheme had almost maturet
| and to be thus cut down when success was al
, but an assured fact was really too bad Tin
l tic people have long contended (and rightly too
that the sheriff should be q resident OF tina
l district, because there is where the WORK i
:, done Now what could be more pleasant 70
the g. o. p. than 10 send Eureka Republicans
candidate for the Office Of sheriff and have
. democratic court furnish him double rations a
r an inducement 10 get him to buy home ther
to pay taxes on until after election day?
, Season Number four-The MAORI OF th
) court are Democrats and persist IN refusing I
bow their necks TO the yoke OF the ring" L
other words they are men who are determine
oil consequences, which of course is Away
fatal to eossism and ring masters, and henc
the mountain Still laboreth TO produce 1t
D mouse.
