ocratlc county officials In the past and
present. We refer to the fact that
Democratic board Of county commits
sioners finding the credit of the county
impaired by Republican misrule, by the
application of business methods res
tored con aderce and made county war-
rants, which had been selling ct dis
count worth their face value In cash.
We direct the attention OF the tax
payers to the misleading statements Of
the Republican county platform where
in II is stated that the present board OF
county commissioners has reduced tax
alton one-half Of one mill. We assert
that during the FIRST year Of its incum-
bency II increased the levy from four
and one-half to five mills 10 secure rev
enue to pay judgment contracted by
Republican county board and that this
so-called reduction Is only a return to
the figures Of the Democrats who pre-
ceeded them. We also call attention to
the raising OF valuations by the present
Republican county administration,
which has Increased the assessed yalu-
alton from s3S SOS 09g to A2, 496 $50 there
by increasing the amount Of taxes Sl6,-
1913 per annum instead Of a reduction as
claimed
We condemn the dishonesty and the
gross incompetency Of the Republican
city officials In their mismanagement Of
the water fund and the control Of the
water rights Of Salt Lake city.
We condemn the political policy
forced upon the Republican party by
the aggregation Of political adventures
known as the machine and call upon all
good citizens Irrespective Of party to
unite with the Democrats in an effort
to secure good government at the hands
of men who are not hampered and re.
strained by a greedy syndicate, whose
policy ls spells and whose argument Is
coin.

An action, which has already result
ed in the development Of some very
sensational matters and which prom
ses to develop a great many more be-
fore IL is settled, was launched In the
district court late Saturday afternoon
Just as the clerks Office was about TO
close up Tor the day.
FILED IN PERSON.
Ex-senator Arthur Brown was the
plaintiff and Isabel Cameron Brown
his wife. defendant. and the action was
brought for divorce. There was
nothing but q summons filed, conse-
quently the grounds Of divorce could
not be ascertained. Senator Brown
brought the document to the clerks
office and had Il filed and his own name
was signed 10 the summons as att0r-
ney in person.
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Such action on the part of Senator
Brown has caused decided sensation.
When the summons was served on Mrs
Brown Saturday evening she was great
~ surprised but, before the night had
passed, she appeared before Judge Tan
ner and swore out a complaint against
Senator Brown and Mrs. Annie NJ.
Bradley, whom she blames for wreck
ing her home charging them with
criminal relations,
CAUSED MUCH GOSSIP.
The relations between Senator Brown
and Mrs Bradley. who was until last
year, secretary Of the Republican state
committee, has been matter Of much
comment for some time past, and II was
known that Mrs. Brown had contem-
plated commencing a criminal action
against her husband and only last week
called upon the county attorney and
had long consultation with him In re-
gard 20 the matter.
During the Roy Kaighn murder trial,
with which Senator Brown was con-
nected as counsel for the defense, II was
very noticeable that Mrs. Bradley was
present at nearly every session and &C.
cupled q chair within a few feet OF
Senator Brown, and she invariably ac-
companied him TO and from the court
room.
HYPNoTISM SAYS MRS BROWN.
Mrs. Brown was unable TO state upon
what grounds her husband asked for
a divorce, but she attributes his action
TO the hypnotic influence which Mrs.
Bradley exercises over him and SAYS
that she is the one who Is to blame.
Mrs. Brown further stated that she did
not desire a divorce as she Intended TO
be presented at court In England next
year and. as divorced women are re-
stricted from that court, she objects
seriously 10 being divorced at all.
THE SENATOR ARRESTED.
After learning that her husband had
commenced divorce proceedings against
her. Mrs. Brown. late Saturday night.

Brown and Mrs. Bradley had engaged
rooms at the Independence rooming
house on Third South street just west

ton with her and issue warrants for

Of former Senator HILL Chairman
Frank Campbell Of the state commit
tee, William Sulzer, Senator McCarron

discussion over probable and proposed
planks In the platform to be adopted at
the Democratic state convention. II Is
learned that tentative platform has
been agreed upon. but il Is said that
some OF its planks are causing much
discussion. William Hepburn Russell,
Jacob A. Cantor James p. Schevelin
and some others are Of the opinion that
the platform should be brief and COR

publican party should be 80 carefully

pecially favorable by the physicians.
The physicians insist today that the
presidents wound gives no occasion
for alarm The president himself con.
tlnues cheerful and seemingly regards
the wound as a trivial matter The
fact that second operation was neces-

than on any previous day since the
