PARK CITY. Oct 2S.-Up here in
Park City politics are waxing warm
sS.nd at the present rate Of increase in
esgnperature it will not be many days
or hours even before the political pot
will boil
There is no disposition on the part
of the people to become unduly excited,
the great majority, regardless of party.
are MISUNDERSTANDING seriously Of
what is the best thing for them to do
on election day.
When 1T comes to the judicial ticket
&aere is not much for a reasonable man
TO bubble over be he Democrat or Re
publican. That the Democratic nomi-
neeS are by all odds the best qualified
for the place is a fact patent to all
men who have the welfare of the COM
munitY at heart.
Party fealty Us about the only thing
that IS holding Republicans in line on
the judicial ticket because, with few
exceptions and that for personal rea-
sons no members Of the Republican
party exhibit much enthusiasm for the
Success Of the judicial ticket.
The qualifications of the respective
aO1ninees for the high and important
positions to which their respective par
ing them as candidates for judicial
nonors are discussed every hour Of the
day and that by all odds the gentle
men named by the Democratic party
are the best fitted for the places goes
without saying. The manner in which
tAe respective candidates received their
nominations is as much in Favor Of the
Democrats as anything else. The I'M
seemly scramble in the Republican con-
Vention is compared with the dignified
procedure of the Democratic cOnVen-
ton and all these things are having a
decided influence upon the minds Of
voters.
Republicans who are not blinded by
party prejudice are as deeply interested
IN the general welfare OF the commu-
nifty as Democrats and they realize
that in such an important judicial dis
e,.iSt as this, where the property inter-
b1ets are larger than in almost all OF
- = rest of the state combined and
where litigation by reason Of the great
er number of inhabitants is necessarily
greater that it is the part of wisdom
TO have the best men for judges that 1t
is POSSIBLE to secure. All these things
are having a decided influence and to-
day the tide is decidedly favorable for
the Democracy so far as the judicial
ticket is concerned. Regarding the sem
sational contest the fight is becoming
Kearns are each pursuing the even ten
or of their ways but they each are in
this fight to win. They have each said
SO. and while j, is not possible for both
TO be the victor and while they each
have a kindly feeling for each other II
does not follow that for fear of hurting
his opponents feelings that either one
would willingly permit the prize to be
carried away by the other
THE senatorial contest IS OF greater
Interest to the people OF Park City, and
.Summit county than the judicial cleo
zion. because in and about it centers
not so much the ambition Of the two
candidates as Of their friends.
That each gentleman is proud OF the
honor conferred by his fellow citizens
IN being chosen as the standard-bear-
er. must be acknowledged. The good
that each man has done for the COM
munity is a great factor in this con-
test and it is a subject of frequent ami
mated discussion wherever two or
more friends of the two candidates
happen to meet.
Mr. Kearns prides himself on being
the friend of the workingman. and
especially the miner, and when he
talks 20 the people he refers with
earnestness to the time when he was
humble miner and carried his dinner
pail up the gulch to and from his daily
work. No Democrat would for a mo-
ment rob Mr.. NeaIns OF the honor
which he of right claims in this re-
N.gard: yet the friends Of Mr.. Cham
foers can say that he has done all thae
his rival has done, and whether here
or elsewhere. he has earned by service
the distinction Of being an honest
miner; ard when it comes to the
Workingman Mr.. Ke5rlS r. noSef5 - :
not claim to be better friend to him
Ge1an Mr.. Chambers.
~ frequent reference is made to mat
Gers of recent occurrence-the closing
down Of the mines, the policy OF one
corporation over which one gentleman
presides as compared with that of an
other corporation over which the other
holds sway; how the continued opera
ton of the Ontario helped not only
Park City but the people Of both Sum
NIT and Wasatch counties, and If
credit is due for the pursuit of policy
which is directly beneficial to the en-
tire population. then Mr.. Chambers is
entitled not only to the good will, but
the support of the people in this con-
test.
A man who pursues a wise business
policy can with safety be entrusted to
manage the public business. and it is
natural to infer that he would in the
conduct of public affairs pursue
course which would result in the great
est good 10 the greatest number.
Every one in this camp is for silver
and in AR Cha mbers a champion of
the cause of the white metal can be
found who will not yield the spurs to
any man for valiant service for the
cause. Mr.. Kearns, it is ture. is a
friend of silver. but in no sense is he
more earnest in the work of restoring
silver TO its rightful place. from which
it was thrown by the party whose
Y4use the Republican candidate es
bouses. Than his opponent, Mr. Cham
bers. In ability to perform the duties
OF a legislator and look after the in
terests of the people of this senatorial
district, neither Mr. Kearns nor his
friends claim supeA ority over the
Democratic nominee. Nothing can be
said in favor of the Republican nomi-
nee that cannot be applied 10 the Dem
ocratic candidate, and so far as inter
est in community goes, Mr. Chambers
certainly ranks ahead of any man in
the county.
