Republicans are already beginning
10 1esort to crooked measures in con-
Quoting their campaign. During the
.1ast two weeks their canVassers have
tseen sent out over the city, going TO
back doors and bothering the women
with their questions and insistance
upon answers satisfactory to them
selves. The Oquirrh club canvassers
in particular have made such NUS
ances of themselves that the people
have determined to have nothing to
do with them.
Now, however they have adopted an
expedient we'll worthy of the club and
those who are running its campaign
The men go out to The house, repre-
sent that they are duly commissioned
registrars and ask for the names of
the voters in the houses and their
political complexion. One Democratic
registrar yesterday, in going around
in the Second precinct, was Informed
that he was the third one of his kind
who had been along in that direction
during The day.
Sue dishonesty as this will do no
good. The Republicans will ind that
daplicity will merely act as boom
erang and that their own partisans
will become thoroughly disguised with
their rlaneuvers unless stop is put
to these practices. If they cannot get
their canvass honestly, they have no
xigkt to do it dishonesty. The people
Of the city are warned that the only
lind CT registrars to whom they should
pay attention are those who have
commissions from the Utah commits

Democrats Should Register.
The Republicans are exceedingly ac-
tive just now in getting their voters
registered and it behooves the Demo-
Gratis 10 be stirring. Every Democratic
voter whose name is not on the regis
tration list should see that it is put
there. Democratic women should regis
ter now. no matter whether or not
they think they viii want to vote.
They may think now they will not.
hut when election time comes they will
desire to have the privilege and will
be sorry they did not take the neces-
sary preliminary steps. In every ward
in every precinct. those in charge of
the campaign should urge on the Vot-
ers women and men, the necessity of
registering. If they do not register in
the house to house canvass, they

Democratic County Convention!
The Democratic county convention
will be held in this city on August.
31st 1t will be called to order in the
Salt Lake theatre at 10 o'clock a. m.
and then will proceed to nominate a
legislative ticket that will cast the
ticket OF the Republicans far into the
shade. The call, with the apportion-
ment of delegates to the various pre-
cincts. for the county, territorial and
judicial conventions, will probably be
issued officially today.
The county committee arrived at
the above determination at a meeting
held yesterday morning, at which the
county generally was well represented.
Chairman w. c. Hall presided, and
B. T. Lloyd was in attend
ance. A number of campaign matters
were talked over and decisions arrived
at. The various appointments made
by the territorial committee for the
were approved.
lNe1G was some QlSSuSSlOn dS 10
whether it would not be better to hold
a convention quite soon for re-organ-
iZation and put off the nominating
until some late day in the
1t was believed, however,
that two months would not be too long
for the campaign and, therefore, but
one convention was decided upon.
The convention will name a new coun-
ty committee and also nominate the
legislative ticket. The recommended
ton is that primaries be held in the
various precincts on August %.
The basis of representation agreed
upon was one delegate for each ten
voters in the county and the conven-
ton will contain almost 500 delegates.
Good preparations will be made for
time and the Democrats of
this county will be awakened to the
necessities of the hour.
