mat Is tne adVlce gwen the nome
missionaries by Angus N. Cannon,
president of the Salt Lake stake of
Zion.
1t appears that on Wednesday last a
meeting of the missionaries was held
at which the following question was
asked:
What viii be the course pursued by
US in relation TO matters political when
we are asked concerning them by the
people we visit?"
President Cannon replied that they
were not to mingle in political matters,
as Democrats Republicans or non-par-
tisans. but when their fiocks, or mem
bers thereof. wanted information on
that point they were to tell them: Read
the Deseret News"
The significant emphasis which was
placed on the last sentence was such
that a young Democrat, who is q can
didate for office, took exceptions to
them, and made some remarks which
disturbed the serenity of the meeting
by threatening to resign, or words to
that effect.
It is said that President a. NJ Can
non is d member of the non-parti-
sans.
Two delegates to the coming city con-
vention of the Republicans inform The
Herald they have been approached by
members of the non-partisan committee
to work and rustic for the endorsement
of George L. Nye for the city attorney
ship. 1t is q fact that herculean efforts
are being made in behalf of Nye for this
place and that Park is being boosted
also. But when the convention meets
there viii be q cyclone hit both of them,
for the Republicans announce their in
tention Of putting up straight party
ticket and leaving all the silk stockings
in the cold.
Not having anything else to do. the
Tribune is endeaVoring TO interest peo-
pie in its allegation that W. II. Dale
has promised places to certain MEM
bers Of the party through the medium
of Tommy Watson. Well, it's a good
joke for the Tribune, so let it he pushed
along. Only the story ought to be run
in a parallel column with the proceed
ings of the Lookout club" Then peo-
pie could read and die with laughter.
