TO SALT LAKE VOTERS.

officers.
Every voting citizen has duty to
perform It is first, to aid in securing
the success of the Citizens municipal
ticket, and second. to help elect the
Democratic legislative ticket. To ac-
complish this it will be necessary to
avoid all colored tickets and vote only
white ballots, and to he careful that
even these contain only the names of
the Citizens and Democratic candi-
dates.
Liberalism, with it's Infamous cleo
tioneering frauds, its hatred of all who
do not train under its tricky leader.
its shameful record of the past three
and half years, it's fearful legacy
of debt, its laundering, Doodle and
bribery, is making last and desperate
struggle for continued existence and
power to fasten itself on the vitals of
this municipal corporation. 1t must
be given its death blow.
This can be done but in one way.
Citizens, look at the situation calmly
and without partisan bias! If you de-
feat the Liberals in the city election
only you will not destroy Liberalism.
But if you also defeat them in the
election for the legislature you rout it
utterly, drive it into the last ditch,
and pile the grave soil above it and
cover it out of sight and smell Make
the work complete in the only way.
! It is this: Elect the Citizens ticket
for the city and the Democratic ticket
for the legislature. We will show you
why this is the only effectual way:
There are three legislative tickets in
the feld-the Democratic, the Republi-
can and the Liberal. On each there
are three candidates for the legislative
council and six for the house; that
makes nine members for the legisla-
ture. The Republican ticket cannot
possibly win in this city as the party
will and do themselves admit. This
leaves the question, shall we have nine
Democrats or nine Liberals in the leg
islature? The Citizens ticket is sure
to win if the voters so to the polls.
The Democratic legislative ticket can
win if the citizens choose to have it
so.
If to the Democratic votes that are
sure to be cast for the party legisia-
tive candidates, are added two or three
hundred votes, for the Democratic
legislative ticket. from those good citi-
zens. who are not counted as Demo-
Gratis, the defeat of liberalism will be
made total and complete, and this city
will be delivered forever from the
blight and curse of Powerism and the
faction of obstruction and hate.
AT one stroke from the hand of each
voter who will cast ballot for re-
form, the Liberals can be kept out of
the city government. Will you not
give that blow, people of Salt Lake
Icity? Look at your ballots, see that
they are white. and be sure that they
contain the names of the Citizens
candidates and also of the Democratic
candidates. Put them in the envelopes
yourselves and vote them without
scratching; that is al we ask of you.
Some of the Republican candidates
have evidently been communicating
with the Liberals, and in addition to
their party ticket, containing the Citi-
zens and Republican candidates.. are
circulating a ticket with the names of
Republican candidates for the legisla-
ture and the Liberal candidates for
the city. Spot them and tear them
up: they are white as to color but
black as to intent
One more consideration to good pat
riotic citizens above party interests is
this: The nine Liberals who want to
go to the legislature are openly and
avowedly and bitterly hostile to state
hood for Utah. Every vote for them
| is a vote against statehood. Every
vote for the Democratic candidates for
the legislature IS a vote for statehood.
The Democratic Congress, the Demo-
cratic President and the Democratic
Governor are favorable to the admis-
sion of Utah into the Union as
democratic state. That is one good
reason why Utah should have a legis-
lature largely Democratic It should
be in harmony with the powers that
be, not with the Powers that will soon
be as though he had not been.
We confidently ask our friends to
make the victory over Liberalism com
plete. The reasons for keeping it out
of the municipal offices are equally
and more potent for keeping it out of
the legislature. Let us get rid of it
at once and for good. Vote the Citi-
zens' and Democratic tickets all on
one ballot and the glorious work will
be done. Let us record a perfect tri-
umph of the right
