a member Of the Fourth precinct
Democratic campaign committee said
yesterday: I'VE have been aware for
some time of Major Dailey's coquetting
with Mr.. James Glendinning, and his
attempts to help that gentleman's can
dldacy by using the time and means
PAID for by Salt Lake City; we also
know Of the Republicans attempts to
coionlze, but we have the names and
addresses of every bona fide voter in
the precinct, and any man not entitled
to vote, who tries it on, will find him
self in pretty hot water There are
l,2SS voters in our precinct. The Popu-
lists will cut hardly any figure, and the
few votes they get will be from the
Republicans. A most careful canvass
shows the precinct to be ours by a
majority of from rs to 100 votes-near-
~ three times more than it was last
year. If the other precincts of the
territory show gains even half as
great as this, Democracy will sweep
everything"

the Fourth precinct candidates will
make short speeches. The Roberts

By the way, a great deal has been
said about the great popularity Of Jack
May, Republican candidate for treas
urer Well, he is popular enough with
the gang and his friends count on
that as his strong hold" But how
about Judge Pyper? Did it ever oc-
cur to Jack that Pyper is immensely
popular with the entire community?
Probably it has and by this time. the |
republican candidate doubtless fully !
realizes that he is going ITO have the |
race of his life. No word has ever
been heard against the integrity or
ability of George D. Piper. His whole !
life is an open book and his character
is above criticism. The Great Cam !

him:
Mr.. Pyper was nominated by acala- |
nation by the recent Democratic city !
convention for the office of treasurer. |
He was born in Salt Lake City on No |
vember q, 1850. A portion of his boy
hood was passed in Sugar House ward I
where his parents removed. and where I
