Republican Women.

| A meeting OF RepuDllcdn women was
held yesterday afternoon in the Tunnel.
1t was large and enthusiastic, that is
! for a Republican meeting for there
were only about fifty women present
and few men. The enthusiasm was
of a mild, not TO say tame, kind. The
! entrance of the Republican drum corps,
which had been marching the streets
! headed by Schooner Jim during the
/ afternoon. created a little ripple for a
| time which cbbed away again when
| the musicians departed.
Mrs. Campbell acted as chairman
and called upon Mrs. Edna Smith for
a speech. That lady made a short
| talk beginning with the statement that
! She was not going to say anything about
/ the Democratic theories and doctrines.
She had been to a Democratic meeting
! recently, however, and had heard sew
eral things she never knew before. She
! referred to the Republican Catechism,
which she said had been meanly at
tackled by Mrs. Richards and The Her.
| aid But for this attack and the no.
toriety given it by that very reliable
paper the poor little catechism would
probably never have been heard of out
side Jhe immediate circle of those who
had been to the pains to compile it,
She thought fhe Republican women
were under a debt of gratitude to The
Herald and proposed a vote of thanks
to that paper, which, on being put 10
the meeting, was carried with more
enthusiasm than had been evoked by
anything else that occurred during the
meeting. Mrs. Smith concluded her
remarks by stating that if the boys
and girls We're to grow up truly good
their parents, in order to insure that
boon, must vote the Republican ticket
MRS. Cox opened with the assertion
that everybody knew all about wool,
lead and tin and their relations to the
political issues of the day. The ladies
didn't want cheap clothing, so there
would be no further necessity for rpar-
chants TO advertise cheap goods, the
high priced stores were the only
ones the aristOcratic Republican
women would patronize. She thought
women .had'fbeen the power behind the
throne long enough and now their
time to sit on the throne had come.
Mrs. c. E. Allen addressed the wo-
men who were in doubt as to whether
they should take an active part in pol
tiles or not to make UP their minds to
go into the swim at once She thought
they would not lose in dignity or So
cial standing by doing So The aris-
tocratic women Of England and of the
eastern states had set the example and
their aristocratic sisters in Utah might
safely follow their lead The women
Of England didn't have the franchise.
but they were in politics just the
same.
Several other short speeches were
made and a little vocal music and the
aristocratic gathering dispersed.
Bluff From Summit.
The Silver King machine in Park
City is evidently becoming greatly
worried over the prospects of losing
one of the plums counted upon by it.
The certainty that the Republican ju-
dicial ticket will be defeated and that
Snyder will be particularly scratched
in favor of Hiles, causes the Park City
Record to attempt a huge bluff by
making the following threat:
'sWe are sorry to learn that few
Salt Lake soreheads are still harping
against W. L. Snyder, the candidate
Of the Republicans of Summit county
for district judge of this judicial dis
trict We had hoped that after the
excitement attendant upon the con-
vention had subsidized, the men who op-
posed Mr.. Snyder and were fairly
beaten would drop the animosities en-
gendered by that defeat and work like |
true men and true Republicans for his |
triumphant election, but as they seem
TO be still nursing their wrath, we |
want to say this much. and insist that
these disgruntled politicians make a
note of,it: If Salt Lake county knifes |
w. L. Snyder in his election, Summit |
county will have her revenge-and it |
will be ample. The nomination of I
Mr.. Snyder, who is far the pear of any |
disgruntled Salt Laller, is all that Sum- |
nit county has asked on the whole |
state ticket, and that she got it was
but justice, and she does not propose
to see any of Salt Lakes little 2x4
wire pullers slip knife into him with
out treasuring up the insult. Summit
