at the recent election it was that the
people of the country who have been
clamoring for silver were not sincere.

Of the country.-SentineI
A Republican friend of mine fur
nishes the following excuse for the
lack of enthusiasm during the recent
| Republican parade: ct was principles,
not men, we voted for
The letter from a Vernal correspond
ent, recently published in The Herald,
| is very fine sample of Republican
campaign literature. For partisan pur-
poses those men signed their names to
a circular which they knew contained
untruths. But this is not the worst of
it. Among the signers of the screed
that appeared in the Utah County
Dishrag, to the effect that the opening
of the Uintah and Uncompahgre reser-
vations would do far more damage

appear on the petition asking Hon.
Joseph l.. Rawlins TO use all efforts to
cause them to be opened.
And it is just such men as these
whose votes gave f. J. Cannon ma
jority over Joseph L. Rawlins!

voters, those who aided in rolling up
Idahos magnificent Republican ma
jority, will be given the positions. The
Republican state central committee,
through its chairman, M. Patrie, has
announced itself emphatically opposed
to the employment of female clerks in
the next legislature; and the sweet girl
candidate will have to become far more
affectionate and a great deal more law

smiles if she would get there this

And yet some people ask: ''Why in
the name of common sense do women
want to vote?'
Mrs. Waite has been fairly fiaying
alive the women of Colorado. In a re-
cent interview she said:
E'The conduct of the women voters in
the recent election was disgraceful and
the behavior of the women ON Capitol
hill, both before and after this cleo
ton, was perfectly scandalous and
would have disgraced the Market
street residents The very idea of their

they have simply gone and cut the
throat of the party which gave them
the right to vote and disgraced their
won1anhood. The governor, Mr.. Waite
also opposes the enfranchisement of
women now as L do. The women vot-
ers have shown that they are no more
fit to use the ballot than children OF
16. Why, they last night acted like
hoodlums, blowing horns and showing
that they knew nothing of the politi-
cal questions of the day."

| The antics of the only Republican
legislature in Utah must have beer
t feralded far and wide. During the re

children were among the numerous
other features. One of the banners car
ried by the tots read:
