CLARK WILL NOT WITHDRAW.


To the Publlc:-Reports to the effect
that nominees of the Citizens Reform
party had withdrawn or were about TO
withdraw from the ticket have been
perslstently circulated for some days
Notwithstanding the fact that each
canard of the kind has been promptly
denied either by the candidates effect
ed or their representatives on this
committee, certain persons have ma
llciously persisted in circulating the
same and have imposed on the
credulity of the Democratic organ to
such an extent that has 1t has re-
peatedly given publicity to the false
hoods. The committee, in view of this
repetition Of baseless and misleading
rune takes this opportunity of
warnhe the public against such
canards, and at the request of the can
didates, state that they are all an the
ticket to stay. Mr., Clark has not with
drawn, has no intention of withdraw
ing, and will not withdraw. Since ac-
oeptlng the nomination he has not even
considered ouch Il contingency, and the
same can be said Of every other nomi-
nee on the ticket. All are In the field

To the Editor:
The non-partlsan movement, and
the ticket that has been formulated
under its auspices, for municipal of
ficers to be voted for at the forth
coming election. are much to my like
ing.
I belong to no party. because the
usual methods adopted by representa-
tlves of party organizations, to secure
adherents and votes. have been OBJ
jectionable TO me.
My practice has been to select the
various tickets In the field, those IN
livlduals whom I considered best
fitted, In character and qualifications.
to properly fulnll the duties of the re-
spective offices. and vote for them. l
have had to depend upon a sometimes
rather limited acquaintance with the
persons nominated, or form my judg-
ment of their fitness from any avail
able sources
II seems to me that the non-parti-
san committee, composed OF twenty
FIVE of the leading business men OF
this city. residents of the several
wards. imbued with no selfish motives
In this matter, exercising the most
careful delibcration, and having the
benefit OF suggestions from hundreds
Of disintersted individuals among all
classes, could. unquestionehly. dcsig-
nate the men best qualified to occupy
positions In our city government.

lions and their bolsterous proceedings,

there is no room for doubt as to
which of them should meet the APP
proval of this community, over

The path of duty appears perfectly

The funeral services over the remains

lutions appointed by the Principals
association reported the following:
Death has claimed one OF our num-
Der. II. G. Bradford. man with whom
we have long been so pleasantly as
ISOLATED, and we feel that some ex-
preston from our association at this
time is fitting.
1--WE have lost from our midst an
honest, upright, genial friend, and the
cause of education In Salt Lake City
has lost one of its most arduous
earnest workers, who has been an in
strument OF great good.

reaved family and friends, and hereby

buildings in the city. They cost a
pile" Of money. But reverses Of for
tune came to the rich man. and after
long struggles he finally lost every
thing. For years he has been working
against i'll fortune. His last venture Is
a prospect in the mining region in the
mountains back of Bowlder, Colorado.
He needed money to develop his prop
erty and went to Colorado Springs. He
laid his case before w. S. Stratton, the
millionaire miner of Cripple Creek.
How much money will be required?'
asked Mr.. Stratton.
u believe 1t can he done with sl5,-
COO said Mr.. Tabor.
Il will take your proposition into
consideration and viii answer you Mt
your hotel before night"
Later messenger inquired for Mr.
Tabor at his hotel and placed in his
hand package and letter. The
package contained $4,000. The letter
| quote from the Denver News:
My Dear Mr. Tabor:-The bearer
will deliver into your hands the sum
Of $4,000, Accept this as a tribute to
n worthy man whose generous acts, II
rightly rewarded could never be re-
paid in money II at any time you
find yourself financially situated so as
to return the amount and feel Inclined
to do so.you may send me your check
for $4,000; otherwise, do not con-
slider yourself under the slightest OBJ
legation. l ask for no security and Will
accept none. Wishing you the best of
luck, / am yours truly,
w. S. sTRATToN."
Mr.. Stratton was for many years n
poor carpenter and earned the money
by which he finally demonstrated the
richness of Cripple Creeks hills at his
| trade MIR. Stratton IL an evidence
| that all millionaires do not deserve
| killing, as so many American poor
men assert. Not a man In all America
is poorer because Mr. Stratton became
| a millionaire. IT is not the ownership
| of wealth, but the use OF 1t that makes
| rich men friends or foes of the people.
Mr.. STATIONS kindness to Mr. Tabor Is
a charming episode. l hope 1t may
| move others as a Godllke action, and
l sincerely hope the gift may mark the
turning point in Mr.. Tabor's struggles.
