desire to represent the state and elect
them. Yes, they will elect them, but
why should not the people, who elect
the legislators, indicate their prefer
ence as to who shall represent the
state in the Senate?
The nomination of Senators by
State convention is parallel with the
nomination of presidential candidates
by national conventions. These con-
ventions do not nominate the presi-
Dental electors nor do they have any
thing to do with them directly. More
over, the whole trend of political
thought is to make the election of the
President and Vice President by the
people direct and abolish the College
of Electors. The same may be said of
the election of Senators. Their nomi-
nation in state convention is the
nearest approach possible to this
without an amendment to the Consti-
tuition. 1t does not attempt to change
the federal character of the govern
ment in the least. 1t makes it more
thoroughly representative; that is ALL
Every person in Utah knows whom
the Democrats want to represent the
state in the United States Senate.
They want Hon. ]. L. Rawlins and
Hon. Moses Thatcher. And every
voter knows when he votes for Demo-
cratic candidates for the legislature
that he votes for j. L. Rawlins and
Moses Thatcher.
And for whom do those vote for
Senators who vote for the Republican
legislative candidates? They do not
know. 1t may be for a Utah man; it
may be for some man from some
state who expects to be elected Sen
ator because of his wealth, that
wealth being relied upon to overcome
all objections, all obstacles. If the
Republicans should carry the legisla-
ture, the question of who shall be
the Senators from Utah is resolved
into a game of chance, the outcome of
which no one can foretell.

THE RIGHT, BUT NOT THE LIBERTY
The New York Sun remarks:

The New York Sun remarks:
At the November election in Utah,
women will have the right to vote for
state officers and members of the leg
islature.
The Sun is right and wrong on this
point. The women of Utah will have
the Fright" but not the liberty to vote
at the November election. They are
given that right in the state constitu-
ton, but they will not be permitted to
exercise it because of an absurd de-
cision of two Utah Judges out of four
in the Supreme court, who construed the
provisions of a law of Congress framed
for special and sole application to
territorial elections, so as TO apply to
the first state election. People may
have rights which they are prevented
from enjoying. That is the condition
of the women of Utah Just now and
which will continue until Utah Is adj
mitted into the Union. The Sun is
literally right but constructively wrong
in its assertion

AS TO CERTAIN CANDIDATES.


Since we have noticed the Ogden
Press on one matter, we will make
a clipping or two from it on another
subject II says:
The Salt Lake Herald has been maxi
ing fun of the Republican candidate
for Governor, Hon. Heber NJ. Wells, be-
cause he once took part in amateur
theatricals.
Not at all. friend Press. You have
been be5uiled by reading your chief
but unreliable source of political pab-
ulum-the salt Lake Tribune. We have
not made fun of the capable actor who
has made lots of fun for the Salt Lake
public, nor said anything dfsparaging
OF his dramatic talent or his candi-
dacy for Governor, associated with it.
Our argument has been that his
ability on the boards was not any
special qualification for the important
office of the chief executive of the
state, and further that in addition to
possessing all the good qualities that
are claimed for his opponent, Hon.
John 7. Game has others which the

national affairs. and many other quail
ifications fit Mr.. Game pre-eminently
for the position of Governor of the
State of Utah. That is our position on
this matter.
Now for another clipping from the
Press. It is this:
The Herald finds fault with Mr.. AL
len because he worked to have Nor
mon nominated for Governor on the
Republican ticket Mr.. Allen did inst
right. He acted upon the idea that if
the governorship should go to a Nor
mon the representative in Congress
would naturally belong to one Of the
opposite faith, and he himself being af-
ter that Office, he played good politics
to get that nomination.
If that sort of politics suits the
Press. why-the Press is suited. There
are good Republicans, however, who
look at the matter in another light.
They see that Aliens intrigue was
not worked for the good of the party
to which he now pretends to belong.

mean, sneaking and vicious manner to
impress the public mind with the idea
that The Herald, or some one connect

of boodling, and when challenged for

POPULAR NOMINATION OF SEN
ATORS.

The Ogden convention did a wise
thing and a Democratic thing when it
nominated candidates for United
States Senator'S. That convention was
large and thoroughly representative,
far more representative than any
legislature can ever be. The delegates
were directly from the people and
only sought to do their will. And they
did it as the universal commentator
of their work proves.
The Republicans made no nomina-
tons for United States Senators. They
say it is not the business of a conven-
ton, no matter how large nor how
representative, to nominate Senators;
that the legislators elected by the
people will name the men whom they

POWDER MILLS EXPLODE.
Terrifying Disaster In Massachusetts
Accompanied by Loss OF Life.

South Acton, Mass, May 3.-Three
mills of the American Powder company
blew up to-day, one after another in ff-
teen minutes. Five persons are believed
to have been killed. The woods close by
the mills were set on fire and burned
tiercely, threatening the biggest store
house of the company, containing 10000
pounds of powder, and preventing the
saving of property. Fifty men we're en-
ployed in the mills and when the noise of
the first explosion was heard those in the
Corning mills, the third to explode, about
forty in number, rushed from the build
ing and escaped before the flames spread
to the mill. There were ten mills separ-
ated and enclosed by high board fences.
The explosion of the first mill set fire to
the surrounding fence and the flames soon
spread to the second mill. In fifteen
minutes from the first explosion three
mills were destroyed.
The list of dead are: Charles O'Neill,
jr., Maynard, Mass, unmarried; Benson
Moore, Acton, leaves widow and several
children; Frederick X. Winsow, South
Acton, married; Charles Estes, South Ac-
ton, single; A. Estes, South Acton, leaves
widow and six children.

work by the commission appointed by
the president. The developments in con-
nection with the British policy toward
Nicaragua are said to be working favor
ably toward promoting the success of the
canal. The English people have, as
never before, been inqulring as to the
status of the canal work. Large stock
holders of the company are urging the
management not to wait any longer for
the American government to act, but to
get the help which it is believed can now
be secured among all the commercial ma
tions of the world and make the canal an
international affair.
