A Dissenter from So-CaIIed Purity.
The following letter, sent by one of
the alternates on the slate, whose
name cannot be used, is self-explana-
tory:
Lieutenant W. Holman, President T I'VE;
ty-first Ward Republican GLIB:
Dear Sir: In The Herald OF This date
noticc that | have been selected as
publican city convention to be voted for
next Monday, by the voters Of the Twen-
ty-hrst ward. This use of my name was
totally unauthorized. ] am III favor of
absolute purity iii politics, and insofar as
your club represents that idea : favor Its
objects and purposes. But L desire to
emDhdSize the fact that | an not one Of
those Republicans who belong to the
class whose motto is II am holier than
thou." do not believe that The Ameri-
can people are yet prepared 10 estahlis n
self constituted body of puris4s who
shall act as cenSorS over the moral quail

that a select number Of Republicans met
in the Twenty-1irst ward some time ago
and established under your direction,
what is known as the Twenty first Ward
Republican club. Only II portion of the

plicant for membership in the Alta cluh.
This l believe TO be un-American. In

number of Republicans in the ward, who
did not represent either majority of the
Republican voters of the ward, or the
a meeting on Thursday night for the spe-

Who authorized YOU to select "a slate?'
Who appointed you the censor of the
TWenty-t1rSt ward. I supposed that the
city committee and the precinct commit
Tee had supervision and charge of the
ward and that the people OF the ward
were the tinal arbitcrs of who should be
chosen as candidates, and not Lieutenant
Hoffman or a chosen few. | am of the
opinion that ticket for delegates should
have on it the names Of Il representative
class of voters and should not contain
the silk stocking element only of a
party. No political organization based on
such a. method Of selection of delegates
to a convention can nope for success Il
the polls on election day. The various el-
ements in the party, the different sec
tions of the ward, the property classes
and laboring masses must all receive con-
sideration. Have you done this? If so,
have oeen unable TO note it III the Sc
lected seventeen delegates, and out Of
that number l notice but one laboring
man, only two Mormon Republicans, if L
