of the last session the governor of
the state of Utah when duly inaugu-
rated and acting will have the prefer
ence, right to to apply for and get a
survey of any unsurveyed lands, and
to select therefrom any portion the
state may desire for any purpose eX-
cept the mining of gold and silver, it
will be in the power of our governor to
secure the necessary land on which to
establish reservoirs, and to get the fee
Simple title to them for the state.
With Game for governor the water
rights that viii be created will be I'M
der the control and inure to the bene-
fit of the state. With Wells for gov
ernor Influenced by Republican ideas of
favor to monopolies, spectators will
have chance which they are bound
to take advantage of, to secure valua-
BILE water rights and sell water to the
coming farmers of Utah.
We want the future farmers of Utah
to read the enabling act and the act
of congress passed last winter in Tela-
ton to surveys of public lands, and
see for themselves how new homes may
be made in Utah under statehood, and
then decide whether they want the i'm
mense power which the governor and
legislature have in shaping the policy
of the material progress of the COM
ing state to be welded in favor of mo
nopolies which have always been ia
vored by Republicans, or in favor of
giving to every man an equal chance
with every other man, which has al
ways been the policy of the Democ-
racy.
There has never been a time in Utah
before when party principles-Ihad such
g. direct and extensive bearing upon
our home affairs. The future prosperity
of the masses of the people of Utah in
a very large degree. hinges upon their
choice for governor and legislature
We think it is time in Utah that
those who irrigate and till the soil, who
develop the coal, iron. gypsum, gibson
lite. marble, onyx and many other pro-
ducts of mother earth had some sort
of a show
We are in favor of mining the pre-
cious metals, but the federal govern
ment is looking after shat interest.
Manufacturers should be encouraged
by increased patronage, and to secure
that patronage we want the class who
are at the foundation Of society, to
have a chance SO that they may be
prosperous and able TO patronize home
industry" by buying it's products
Voters, study the question, and if
you win. YOU cannot fail to see that
vote for Game for governor, and for
Democratic legislators, means a vote
for fair play for the working class, and
against monopoly of the land and
water rights that win be available I'M
der statehood.
From Goodwin's Old Home.
Virginia City, New, Chronicle-Unlike
Judge Goodwin, his Colonel Trumbo's)
chief opponent for the torship, he
does not affiliate politically with either
of the old parties, being convinced that
no help can come from either. When
Judge Goodwin lhonored the Comstock
with a political visit a short time since
his views were exactly in accord with
his friend, D. o. Mills, who carries
Nevada in his pocket, and whose SEN
timents on the silver question ha.ve
been ventilated by his two newspapers
in Nevada, as being unalterably OPP
posed to the free coinage of a metal
which built him a railroad through the
valleys of Nevada from which the
people of the silver state should pay
him tribute. There is no hope from
Judge Goodwin for free coinage, and
therefore he should not represent a
silver state such as Utah undoubted-
ly is. The contest in Utah will mar
row down to two candidates though
there are five now whose names are
before the people. Of the two, Good
win as a goldbug and a Republican,
should be relegated to the shades of
newspaper life of which he is a bright
ornament, and Colonel Isaac Trumbo,
who represents the people and bimet-
allism, should be sent to Washington
Trumbo is a native son of Nevada,
man of means who can back up his
position and one who will do we'll for
the silver cause if elected.
