PROVO CITY,
THE STATE TICKET.

Nearly every county in the state has
one or more names to offer for positions
on the democratic state ticket, or, to
speak more properly, the general
ticket. this fall. Utah county has
number of able democrats before
whom no other men in the state can
assume to stand. She will therefore
present them, notin any spirit OF sell
6ishness or greediness, but because
this is her due and because also the
names that she will urge VIII
strengthen the ticket, and 60 very Tar
towards insuring a satisfactory victory
next fall. Our county convention VIII
meet on the 10th. 1t will doubtless
Indicate its choice of men for the varl-
ors nositions These The DISPATCH
will enthusiastically support and 1t
doubUs not but this will be the line
which every true blue party man In
the county will follow, until the state
convention nominates the TICKET.
Then we can promise the party in the
state that the true blue democratsEof
Utah county will devotedly and en-
Enthusiastically support it, even gladly
making all necessary sacrifices for the
full and complete success OF the gem
eral ticket.
In order that the county convention
NAV be truly representative OF all
shades of opinion in the party, every
democrat should not only attend the
primaries, but he should take an &C
tive part in the proceedings. Let
truly representative men be chosen as
delegates to the convention. In this
vay only can we be sure that the con-
vention on the 10th will meet the
views of the democracy in any ex-
preston or nomination it may make.
No good democrat but falls into the
ranks supporting any nomination
which was fairly and legitimately won.
1t is the duty of every true party man
TO do this, and he does wrong from
party standpoint who abandons this
equitable and long established rule.
We feel assured that the convention
on the 10th will act wisely in these
matters ard that the harmony now
happily prevailing in this county will
produce result which will be per-
fectly bewildering to our foes and go
far toward settling the result in the
state in favor of democratic princlp les.
There are few democrats who are un-
willing to sacrifice personal advantage
to party success and he is an unworthy
democrat who refuses to do SO. The
relative strength of the two parties is
so nearly balanced that the slightest
misstep will be disastrous and any
thing like faction fight in this coun-
ty would be the worst mistake that
could possibly be made.
Doubtless the county convention on
the 10th will have this important mat
ter in mind and the way to secure cor
rect action there is undoubtedly to do
the needed work in the primaries SO
that only the best men in the party
will be elected delegates. Do this and
old Utah county is as safe as trivet
for the next election. 1t will not be
forgotten that the republicans have
expressed the purpose of moving heaven
and earth in their efforts TO win the
county this fall. If the democrats
haye the wisdom to stand together and
be willing to make personal sacrifices
1T will be impossible for them to sue
ceed in thelr purpose. Not that even,
we can carry it by largely increased |
majority over that of last fall.
