ToNIGHT's PRIMARIES.


Tonight the Democratic primaries for
the election of delegates to the mu-
nicipal ward conventions and the city
conventions meet. They should be well
attended. and the best men and women
in the party should be sent to the con-
ventions. while anything that looks
like packing them should be frowned
down; in fact all delegates should go
unpledged and when they assemble in
convention their endeavor sho0Id be to
nominate the best men and women in
the party for the various offices to be
filed If this is done the ticket named
will be first class in all particulars,
equal to any that can possibly be put
in the field.
There is another matter that is de-
serving OF attention. The city central
committee Of the Democratic party in
its call for the conventions RECON-
mends chat all qualified persons WHO
cast their votes last November for
William J. Bryan electors be entitled
TO seats and votes il the precinct pri-
rnaries and be eligible for election as
delegates to the municipal ward con-
mentions and the city convention, and
be accorded all other privileges
This is so explicit that none can
mistake it, and should The silver Re-
publicans. who stood shoulder to shout

fight for free silver come into the DEM
ocratic primaries and desire to partici-
pate in them as allies to aid the Demo-
cratic party in its fight against the
nom partisan movement. they should be
treated as friends and given recogni-
ton.
In this convention it is just as well
that these who shall be chosen to pre-
side over the primaries announce that
all who do not intend to support the
Democratic ticket are expected to take
no part in the primaries. It is not
probable that any who do not intend
to support ii viii attempt to parties
pste in them but it is quite as well to
make the announcement above sug-
gested as mere precaution.
The places designated FOR holding the
primaries in viii be found in another
part Of The Herald. There should be
a full attendance at them and it is
very desirable that. the people assem-

BEAR THIS IN MIND.

It IS lust as we'll for the people to
bear two or three things in connection
with the non-partisan movement in
mind. Those managing it say that
they want to get away from party
politics and to give the city purely
business administration. while the
Deseret News. d strong supporter Of
the movement, says there is to be no
nepotism.
Now, it is well to remember that
nearly one half of the gentlemen com
posing the committee having in charge
the non-partisan movement have served
this city either as councilmen or IL
some other capacity, and while they
we're Sc serving they did not have any
special kick" coming against the city
administration nor can 1t be said that
they showed any such superior abilities
for administering the city's affairs
that none others have abilities for civic
duty comparable to theirs. They served
the city about as others have, gener-
ally speaking, and while there is no
intention 10 disparage their services,
still there are plenty of citizens their
equal in all respects who do believe
in party government. 1t is we'll to
bear this in mind Had the people
been impressed with their pre-eminent
fitness for Office it is most probable
that they would have demanded their
continuance in Office. This can be said,
and without offense, that they did not
make such records as to warrant them
in setting themselves up as the arhiters
Of political matters.
Those in control of the non-partisan
movement have made several nomina-
tons, but it is not so certain that
those nominations are wholly free from
the faint of nepotism. It is just as well
to examine them in this light.
Mr.. Joseph e. Game is nominated for
the office of CITY treasurer. He is a
son of Hon. John T. Game. a member
of the committee having in charge the
non-partisan movement.
Mr.. George L. Nye is nominated for
the office of city attorney. He is a
nephew of Mr.. George A. Lowe and is
affianced to daughter of Colonel
Weber. And both Mr.. Lowe and
Colonel Weber are members of the
committee having in charge the non
partisan movement.
Miss Sprague is nominated for city
recorder. ~ Mr.. James Sharp's brother
married the la6y's sister. And Mr..
James Sharp is a member of the COM
rnittee having in charge the non-par-
tisan movement.
Mr.. Sam Park is nominated for city
auditor. He is a son-in-law of ex-
Governor Thomas. who has some in
innate friends on, the committee having
in charge the bipartisan movement.
All this may have been the merest
chance in the world and have hap
pened so in the search for the most
eligible candidates for the various Of
fees. But the facts are as stated, and
it is just as we'll to bear them in mind.
It is also well to bear in mind that
oftentimes those who are SO solicitous
to remove a. mote from other peoples
eyes have beam in their own.

ahead
Fastening forward they found the pro-
fessor standing by tlle side of the molder-

SOUTHERN COMMENT ON THE
VERSAILLES LYNCHING:

1t is a very hard thing for people TO
suppress their prejudicas. no matter
how they may try. The Baltimore Sun
permits it's southern prejudices to come
into play in commenting on the Yer
sailless Ind, lynching. 1t says:
Five men lynched at the same time
and place. first shot and then hanged
rage, of course. Well, no. unless Yer
sailles, Ind, is to be credited to the
south. This time the shoe pinches an
other toe, and pinches it very hard, in
deed. The men lynched at Versailles
were put to death for robbery, or al
legged robbery. In the south their lives
would have been safe, and the law
would have been permitted to take its
regular course. They lynch for but one
crime down there, and the criminal
commits that offense with the knowl-
edge that swift and certain punishment
will be melted out to him if he is cap
tured In some other sections the
rights of property are apparently con
sfdered more sacred than the virtue of
women. What a howl would have gone
up from all the truly good in the east.
west and north if these five men had
been negroes 1ynched in the south for
the most outrageous of crimes. There
Will be serrnonizings and protests ana
moral reflections on the Versailles affair
by the northern critic, but they will
lack the fiery indignation which he puts
into them when the south is the target.
Possibly this terrible outbreak at Yer
sailles may give him pause and sug-
gest to him that, after all, there may
be otherplaces which need missionaries
more than does the south"
It cannot be denied that there is
very human satisfaction in pointing
out the short comings of those who
criticise us and call attention to our
defects. Lynchlng in the south seems
a mora general defect than in the
north, and it was not so long ago that
man was lynched down there for
horse stealing.
The Versailles lynching could not
have been worse than it was had it
occurred in the south or anywhere else,
while no part of the country has any
license to rise uo and say that it is
better than any other part in this
respect. Wherever lynching occurs it
is too universal
