crease in the Voting Yesterday.
The remarkable interest shown in
citizens in the midsummer carnival
has resulted in a rebuilding of the
efforts OF those IN charge of its affairs
to make it success. The fact that
the carnival means much for Salt Lake
city and Utah has at last dawned upon
prosaic citizens who have for years
been content to allow matters to shape
themselves and they are now beginning
to realize that the city whose citizens
put their shoulders to The wheels OF
progress is the city that succeeds in
the race for wealth. and importance.
Fer an expenditure Of not more than
$4,000 Salt Lake city will receive from
the midsummer carnival advertising
the value of which cannot be computed
in dollars and cents, her merchants will
reap a harvest of ShekelS from the
thousands of strangers who will visit
the city and every citizen, no matter
what his vocation, will be benefited.
The midsummer carnival means the be-
Utah and that the fact is fully realized
by our people is demonstrated by the
very gratifying success that the COM
mittee on finance is meeting with.

Should there be no paper published
in your county, your committee will
have authority to adopt any plan they
see fit for electing your queen, but we
suggest that your citizens be allowed TO
vote on the matter in some way. We

tain country has ever attempted, and
one which no citizen of your county
could afford to miss.
If your queen-elect cannot furnish
