DARK PLOT AT LOGAN.
Democratic Conspiracy Behind
Non-partisan Movement.

The Logan correspondent of the
Provo Enquirer has unearthed a Demo-
cratic conspiracy and sounds a mote
of warning" at long range, in this
fashion:
The political pot has alread began to
simmer a little, however it is strictly
private, so please do not inform any
body about it.
There is a movement Cr embryo yeti
to have our school election this fall
entirely non-partisan; that is, it Will
so appear on the surface, but l have
il from good authority that the Demo-
cratic bosses are formulating plans TO
gobble up the whole concern. Publicly
they will advocate a Citizens ticket;
privately they intend TO pack the
primaries, so that they may get full
control of the election. l am unable to
vouch for the above because l have it
second handed and from a party who
does not belong to our political faith.
But l will give you a key, if this letter
is taken no notice of by those who al
ways grumble and find fault with
everybody who cannot see as they do,
then perhaps it is not true.
Our Republican friends in Logan are
slumbering: we always wait until the
terrified get the start. Only one season,
a few years ago. we got the start OF
them and kept it. Some of the leading
spirits in our party ought to get on the
watch tower and watch every move
ment the enemy is making Every Re-
publican ought to wake up from their
siumber. get oil in your lamps, ana
be ready to meet, and successfully
combat any Democratic deception. We
have good generals. but we want
little more moral courage.
