power to vote would be a boon to the
women of the territory and she had no
doubt that the courts would decide
they could vote this fall. She said
there would be nothing degrading for
them in politics, but that they would
be an elevating force. She urged the
women to take interest in political af-
falrs and prepare themselves for being
an important part of the government
An executive committee of four men
and three women was appointed. The
speakers from Salt Lake evoked much
interest and enthusiasm and were
thanked.
The Tribune's Desires.
The esteemed Buffalo Bill Glasmann
knocks all claims of Republican har-
mony in the head by some editorial
comments last evening, under the
head ''As the Tribune Would Have
1t, in which he pays his respects to
the Tribune crowd as follows:
Since the division IN Utah on national
party lines. there nave been two elements
in the Republican party-one strong for
personal preferment and advantage, the
other assiduously and devotedly labor1ng
for the welfarerof the people of the ter
ritory as an entirety, and striving through
the regular Republican organization as tie
best and only means of accomplishing
the unselfsh end in view. The assurance
of success which awaits Republican prin-
ciDleS in the coming campaign makes
those pursuing personal profit unusually
energetic and INSCRIPTIONS. Back of
them is Il newspaper. Nhkh is Republican
only so far as that party serves the broad
girthS and contracted zntellectS of those
controlling it. At all other times 1t is
whatever occasion may seem to demand
Republican, Populist. Silver or even
Democratic. The POLITICAL control of this
territory means much 10 the 'I'ribune and
its following. G. g. Goodwin Is an dsplr-
ant for the United States Senate a. l..
Thomas desires TO be the first governor
of the new state. AR. y. II. Lannan de-
sires to be the Warwick of tah-not the
king. but the ling-maker. Now there is
in the present political compleAlon OF
Utah more than appears on the surface.
Let us suppose as the Tribune would put
it. Let us suppose a. j. Thomas governor
of the new state of Utah and Mr. r; r.
Lannan the king-maker OF titan. what
would be the result?
The Public Lands.
Let US see. Among other things TO be
controlled under the new state, would
be the disposal of the lands allotted by
the general government: MI. i-anman
would not only remain chief oil the III
hume but would still be the king-maker.
Following the usual custom of new
states. undoubtedly a commission will
be appointed to take charge of the dis
posai of the public lands As king-mak-
er Mr.. L.annan would have appointed 10
that conmsson only such men as would
do the bidding of the king-maker. AS the
manager and one of the owners of the
Tribune Mr.. Lannan would see that
liberal allowance would be made for ad-
vertising; and such advertising would be
done through the columns of the Tribune
as, according to the claims of that paper,
it is the only paper having general cir
culation; and the payment for such ad-
vertising would be limited only by the
financial needs of the Tribune under the
existing trying times. Where the smaller
Republican papers-which in and out of
season are loyal to the party and whose
unseifish and unquestioned devotion its
success viii be due-would come in for
pecuniary concern would be a matter of
such insignificant Importance as to de-
serve no attention.
So the matter stands. The people will
be despoiled in the sale of their lands
that the Tribune may profit, and those
papers which make success possible, will
be awarded the usual husl1s. If the out
side papers and the voters generally are
prepared for this sort of thing, they must
support the Tribune, which declares it is
not a Republican organ and they must
be prepared to vote for y. l. Thomas,
who is the Tribune nomineesfor governor
of the new state or Utah.
