wILFUL MISREPRESENTATION.
Tribune's Effort to Bolster Up the
Citizens y Cause.

In its efforts TO bolster I'D the rciti-
zens " movement, the Tribune yester-
day morning resorted to wilful misrep-
resentation. That paper states that
Councilman r. P. Morris was not Of
fered the nomination for treasurer
by the Citizens committee, and also
that Mr. Backman was not offered the
nomination for auditor. although both
gentlemen had been considered.
THE FACTS.
The facts are that on Saturday morn
ing Mr.. Baekman was requested to call
at the Deseret National bank where
he met W. W. Ritter, who appears to be
sort of chairman of the committee"
Mr. Ritter told Mr.. Backman at that
time that he was the choice of the COM
n1ttee for auditor, and asked him If
he you'd accept the nomination. To
this Mr. BacNman replied, courteousIy,
OF course thanking Mr.. Ritter for the
honor. but stated that he was a Demo-
crat and if he accepted a nomination
it would be upon the Democratic
ticket Mr.. Ritter urged him to give
the matter consideration. and although
Mr.. Backmau had declined, suggested
that ne wait until Monday before Civ
ing definite answer. Mr.. Baekman
returned to his place of business and
promptly wrote Mr.. Ritter a letter, in
which he formally declined the nom
ln4tion on the grounds stated by him
verbally
REGARDING MR. MORRIS.
In the conversation with Mr.. Back
man. Mr.. Ritter stated that r. p. Morris
had been selected as the candidate for
treasurer, and not long after Mr.. Back
mans departure from the bank. Mr..
Ritter telephoned to Mr.. Morris, asking
MIN TO call at once. The request was
responded to, and when Mr.. Morris en-
tered the bank he found Ritter in the di-
rectors' room Mr. Riter's first ques-
ton was: Are you a Datriot?" Mr.
Morris asked what he meant and was
then Informed that he was the choice
Of the -partisans' for city treas
urer-
Mr.. Morris replied that he considered
it an honor, of course, but he was a
Democrat and could not allow his name
to go on that ticket.
Mr.. Ritter remarked that man could
rise above party and Mr.. Morris settled
the matter by stating that he was not
in sympathy with the movement.
Mr.. Ritter closed the conversation by
remarhing that Mr.. Morris was making
the greatest mistake of his life
II may be remarked, IN passing. that
when Mr.. Morris was summoned to the
bank he met Chief Arthur Pratt with
WI Rlter IN the directors room, and or
another occasion when he visited the
bank by request on some matter con-
nected with the movement, James
Sharp sOhcitously asked of Mr.. Pratt
if he had seen that party yet?'' and
urged him to attend to it at once
R. w. YOUNG ALSO DECLINES.
Speaking of destinations, there is. one
other that should be mentioned. Mr..
r. W. Young was given to understand
by some of those most prominently con-
nected with the movement" that ne
could have the nomination for city at
torney- Mr. Young stated that he was
a Democrat. and did not care to receive
the nomination on the citizens ticket.

given three cheers for his nerve in
carrying out the provisions of his re-
markable wager. By them he must be
