Challenged Alien to Debate.
Judge Powers has sent a letter to
! George NJ. Cannon, chairman OF the
Republican state committee, in which
| he suggests the advisability of a meet
ing between Roberts and Allen. and
offers to meet with Cannon or any
member of the committee authorized to
make arrangements for such meet
ing. No reply has been received yet.
Praise for the Herald.
In that young and spicy exchange,
the Ogden Democrat, is the following
complimentary notice of The Herald:
1.-THE Herald is a first-class metro
politan Democratic newspaper and it
should receive the undivided support
of all Democrats in the territory who
are able to take a Salt Lake paper.
At a great financial loss to the
founders of The Herald it has been
pushed along by honest efforts and
sc
has no superior in Titan.
The Tribune is a good newspaper
but no Democrat can afford to take it
in preference to The Herald which is
equally as good and reliable in its
news columns and far more fair in its
criticisms of public policy. AT the
same time it allows nothing of import
ance to escape being placed before its
readers in a proper manner. We know
of a great many Democrats in this
city who take the Tribune just be-
cause it has been with them so long.
This is perfectly proper if the person
is able to take both papers; if not
The Herald should be given the pre-
ference by all means. There is a big
political fight now on and without
metropolitan paper the Democratic
party could not hope to win We do
Herald might be in close circum-
stances, but we know from experience
1t takes money to run newspapers and
we know The Herald is in need of and
deserves the support of every Demo-
crat in the state who can afford a Salt
Lake paper.
Mr.. Chambers Accepts,
Mr. R. c. Chambers was nominated as
senator from Summit and Wasatch
virtually against his protest, but upon
the unanimous opinion of the conven-
ton that he was the strongest man
tat could Re named for the place and
the only man in the district who can
secure an election in the face of the
existing adverse majority. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Chambers will not only
accept the nomination, in obedience to
this demand from the party but will
work early and late for success, In the
hope that he may be able to cast a
vote fer the two strong men that have
been named as United States senators
by the party, and that he may have a
voice in shaping the vast amount of
legislation that will come before the
next and altogether most important
legislature that Utah has ever seen or
will ever see
Nephf Blade Opinions.
The always peppery Nephf Blade
Qnd0 has the following editorial notes
in its last issue:
Those who know c. E. Allen best are
trembling in their boots lest the whflom
Republican and Populist go back
on the party now running him and
blossom into full grown Pop. before
the campaign is over. Anyhow, there
is hardly a doubt in the minds of those
that know him intimately that he will
train with the Populists before his
term in congress is completed if he
should be elected, which he will not be.
There are murmurings in the air that
plainly presage his overwhelming de-
feat. His political friends already con-
cede Roberts election
Tn one breath the Tribune accuses
Moses Thatcher of being a, "decoy'-a
kind of political stool pigeon for his
party. The Tribune says he has con-
sented to allow his name to go before |
the people, allowing the voters to be-
lieve if successful ne will accept, while |
at the same time he does not intend to
do anything of the kind. In the next |
breath the Tribune asserts it has said
nothing disrespectfu1 of Moses Thatch-
err. The Tribune editor has been the
willing puppet of Pat Lannan so long
that his moral nature seems to have |
died natural but premature death " |
ut is noticed that the Tribune runs
the ticket of the party of which it re-
fuses to be an organ on a page. Just as
far from it's editorial columns as it can
possibly get it, Had Charley Crane
been on the ticket, the Tribune would |
very likely have published the ticket
In a supplementary form and in a |
fumigated condition"
