Deseret NewsO


1t has been reported that some per
sons actively engaged in the present po-
itical campaign, have been setTetIy
conveying the Impression that the au-
thorities of the church desire the cleo
ton of certain candidates, particularly
on the national ticket. and that thew
wish the members of the church TO vote
contrary to their own convictions and
against their own party.
We are of the opinion that what has
been done, tending in this direction, has
been greatly exaggerated. At the same
time there is little doubt that some ar
dent DaTtisans have acted with more
zeal than discretion. The consequence
is that people who are in doubt as to
the best course to pursue have been
unduly Influenced and led to believe
that the presidency of the church have
expressed a choice of candidates. and
instructed prominent men to convey it
10 others.

A Thrifty Prince.

Little Prince Alexander, the eldest
son of the dead Prince Henry, husband
of Princess Beatrice of England, has
always been noted, since his earliest
childhood, for bartering proclivities.
He lends marbles and tops at interest
to his cousins, the little Connaughts.
and on one occasion he got up quite
little corner in dolls, which he succeed
ed in purchasing at great reduction
from his small Albany cousins.
The other day he received present
of FL 500 from his mother, and having
quickly spent 1t, applied for the second.
He was gently chided for his extrava-
