Indians to that end A conspra-
cy was at once formed TO defeat
the law and to procure a lease of
a lareg portion Of the reservation
to the conspirators. Among them,
the present postmaster general, the
present governor Of the state OF
New York; Judge Anderson, re-
Gently appointed by President
Roosevelt TO be judge Of the Dis
trlct Of Columbia; Howell p. Ny
ton, the present Indian agent at
tho reservation, and others This
corrupt scheme TO defeat q law OF
Congress by persons holding official
positions under the Republican adj
minlstration, was called to the at
tention OF President Roosevelt more
than six months ago, together with
conclusive proof OF the guilt Of the
parties concerned,
DENoUNCE MYTON.
Notwithstanding he has so long
been in full possession Of the proof
showing their guilty participation,
Myton Is still retained as Indian
Agent, Payne was appointed post
master general, and Anderson put
upon the judicial bench in the Dis
trict OF Columbia. We call fur
ther attention 20 the fact that, al
though the provision inserted in the
Indian appropriation bill, passed at
the last session Of Congress, d.
rected the secretary Of the interior
Immediately to send an inspector
to obtain the consent Of the lndi-
ans to the opening OF the reserva-
ton, no step In that direction has
been taken, and evidence accumu-
lates that the same conspirators
who defeated the execution OF the
former act in order to retain the
reservation for themselves, viii pre-
vent the execution OF the present
law.
We condemn the Republican leg
tglature for It's failure TO carry IN
NJ effect the express will OF the
people by failing to enact into law
the constitutional amendment re-
lating to the initiative and refer
endum.
REPUBLICAN DUPLlCITY.
VIC cite the luIluIt VI Nil' iNNPth
llcan state convention to make any
reference in It's platform TO pending
legislation OF vital Importance to
the silver miners and beet growers
Of Utah, as an evidence OF coward
ice, and OF a desire 10 mislead the
people concerning its attitude upon
these issues. We condemn the Re-
publican party for hypocrisy In
dealing with the people of Cuba,
and for seeking to aid them at the
expense OF the people of Titan.
PRAISE SUTHERLAND.
We call attention to the fact that
the Republican representative of
Utah in Congress, upon every lead
ing measure relating to tariff and
finance, found II necessary 10 stand
and vote with the Democrats OF the
House and against the admnistra-
ton. In order to conserve the in
terests Of the people OF Utah.
We indorse the efforts OF our
Democratic senator, Hon. Joseph J..
Rawlins. in his attempt to procure
legislation by Congress granting
the relief and compensation TO the
Indian war veterans OF Utah for
patriotic services rendered by them
I'm protecting the lives, property
and homes Of our people during
the early settlement of the COM
monwealth.
RECORD OF RAWLlNs.
We congratulate the people OF
Utah upon the magnificent record
made BY our senior senator In Con-
gress during the past six years.
No constituency could have been
better represented His broad states
manship has been such as 10 COM
mand recognition from his col
leagues and the press Of the entire
country. He has taken high rank
among the leaders OF the greatest
hw-makins body OF the world.
Honest, vigilant, and aggressive, he
has been not only a senator from
Utah, but OF the United States.
PARTY WILL LIVE.
The Democratic party came into
existence with the nation. II will
survive while the principles Of pop
ulsr government animate the
hearts OF men. IL has witnessed
the rise and fail OF dozen other
political parties. II was an or
ganized protest against the mon
archicsl tendencies OF the old Fed
eral party. II has always cham
pioned the rights OF the masses as
against the encroachments Of CEN
trallzsd wealth and power, To II
will the people again turn and ask
TO be saved from the menace or
plutocracy and imperialism.
