their personal spite and vengeance
upon helpless captives. We believe that
all men have inalienable rights and
that those rights must be respected
even when we deal with people not
civilized.
Election of Senators.
We believe in the right OF the peo-
pie 10 rule. This Is a government cf
the people and il must be a govern
! ment by the people. And, that il may
be truly representative government,
we favor the election of United States
senator's by the people. The political
history of Utah strongly argues in IA
Vor of our position. The record of the
last Republican legislature is a scandal
and reproach TO the state. The long
line of our late legislators reaching out
for public offices as a reward for their
votes places a blot upon the name OF
Utah. The notorious bargain that one
man should be elected to the senate at
one legislative session, who in turn is
10 elect his political partner to the
senate at the next legislative session,
J Is an argument in favor OF permitting
the people to choose the senators that
/ cannot be answered. The manner in
WHICH United States senator's are
chosen indicates that one OF two things
ought to be done: Either the high Of
fee Of United States senator should be
put up at auction and sold to the high
est bidder and the money received
| turned into the school fund. or else the
/ people should be allowed to name the
| senator by their unbought votes. and

break into the United States senate.
What Democracy Has Done.
