MANUFACTURED INTERVIEWS.

The Herald has already published
several statements from election iudnas
in Sanpete denying the renorts
made by the Salt Lake Tribune con-
corning alleged interviews with them
by a reporter Of that paper. Those
spurious interviews were not only
published locally. but were displayed
every day in separate paragraphs in
the editorial columns of the mendaeious
sheet, as the utterances of the gentle
men named notwithstanding their de-
malls. In addition to those which have
appeared in The Herald we aopend
the following which we clip from the
latest issue of the Ephraim Enterprise.
The Tribune is not satisfied with
misquoting the Judges of election from
this county, but seems to work on the
principle that a falsehood well stuck
to is equal to the truth. In regard
to its second alleged interview with
Mr.. James H. Hanson of this city the
following from Mr.. Hanson speaks for
itself:
THE Tribune reporter came to me
at the Walker house and asked me if
had not been correctly reported. /
told him no. that 1 had never. stated

WHAT IS TO BE poNEs

The burning question now is what
will the Commission do in reference to
the ruling of Judge Bartch? # his
view of the law is right, they cannot
properly issue certificates to any mem
bers elect to the constitutional con-
vention until the returns have been
canvassed by a board of their APP
pointfnent, to take the place of the
county clerk and members of the
county court as provided in the stat.
utes.
The question on that view arises,
must the Commission appoint sepa-
rate board for each county to canvass
the returns for delegates to the con-
stftutional convention, or can they APP
point a general board for the territory
in the same manner that the boards
have been appointed to canvass other
kinds of returns?
Under the ruling of Judge Bar-tch,
it would appear that no canvass Oh re-
turns for members of the legislative
Assembly has ever been lawfully per
formed. since the creation of the Utah
Commission. These returns have AL
ways been sent to the Commission
from the election judges direct, But if
there should have been an intermedi-
ate board Of canvassers. who alone
could go to the ballot boxes in case of
material discrepancies, the Commission
having never appointed any such body
LOT that purpose, all that canvassing
has been irregular if not illegal.
Under the mandate of Judge Bartca1
The present Commission must issue
certificates on the face of the returns.
But the returns in their case means.
the returns sent to them from a. can
vassing board of their appointment
having authority to go into the ballot
boxes if necessary. Until such a.
board has passed upon them they can
not lawfully canvass the returns and
cannot issue any certificates.
We do not believe His Honor is right
in his opinion on this one point. We
believe the intent of Congress was
clearly shown in the Edmunds Act to
be, to make the Utah Commission the
canvassing board to pass upon the
lawful election of persons, eligible, I'M
der the act, to serve as members of the
Legislative Assembly, and, that this of
necessity included the canvass former
ly devolving upon the Secretary in the
presence of the Governor, and the du-
ties imposed upon the county clerks
and some members of the county
courts. That should be passed upon
by the Supreme Court if it is possible
TO get the case before that body irnme-
diately.
The indications are that the Repub-
liean obstructionisbs mean to act on
the policy OF delay, so that this cru
cial question shall not be brought be
fore the Supreme Court at the term
Just about to commence. That would
postpone the constitutional convention.
and perhaps defeat statehood under
the present administration, a result
which would be very pleasing to some
of our very ardent Republican oppon-

The Herald has no wish to confine the
Investigation withfn any given limits

The Tribune, which throughout the
investigation has blundered. made

law, encouraged the most villainous

The Herald, is anxious to turn away

Sherman and a. private accountant

assailed had any evidence whatever Of

guilty, why does 1T not speak out and
let the facts be known
The Herald has had no evidence
that fraud was committed in The re-
turns from sahpe, and knows nosil-
ing concerning It but what was devel-
oped in court, and that is yet sur
rounded with much mystery. OF course
the suppoSition is that some DeMocratt
Ter Democrats did the dirty work But
that IS only supposstiun, though it IS
the most natural conclusion. The
Provo Dispatch takes the opposite
view. and many others have suggested
that there has been a deep laid Re
publican scheme to bring dfsgracs
upon the Democratic party in order to
secure the state to its opponents.
The Herald does not wish TO join in
any suggestions of mere suspicion, or
to fasben a stigma upon any person or
party in the absence Of convincing
evidence. That would be too much
like the Tribune. Zane ct al. But we

The Tribune points to the Commits

AS to the Commission building, if

if amy there be. In pointing TO that
spot as the only place to look, does it
not appear rather that the Tribune is
trying to turn the sole attention in tHlat

sion. for that is in line with it's usual
