the TRUE SITUATION.

1t is foolishness for Republicans to
say or even think that the G.. o. p.
will have an easy victory at the polls
in November. Cache county has con-
tinued to give from 300 to 100 Demo-
cratic majority, and at present may
be regarded as a Democratic county.
True, at various times the Republi-
cans have managed to elect some small
part of the ticket, but this has been,
i'm most cases, the result of fight i'm
the Democratic party, a faction of
which invariably rendered such and
such an Office If the Republicans would
take it. Even these small favors have
been greatly appreciated and at this
time the Republicans are going to try
to get themselves into position
where they will be the ones to dish
out an occasional favor of this kind.
The various splits among our Demo-
cratic brethren seem to offer an ex-
cellent fighting chance this fall, and
with the great change in sentiment
that Is noticed all over the county,
the cause looks decidedly hopeful.
With the proper exercise of good
judgment i'm the selection of ticket
at the county convention, and the
hearty, concentrated effort of loyal
Republicans from convention time to
the evening of November 4th, there Is
good reason to believe that at least "a
large part of the ticket may be pulled
through, and possibly all of it. The
first thing necessary to make this pos
sibility probability is that the party
i'm convention assembled, nominate
only the best men--men not only
popular in their own party, but who
are of such character and qualitca-
tions as to commend them to our
Democratic friends The Democratic
party has nominated ticket that is
regarded as only of medium strength
and the Republicans must nominate
a better one if they expect to win.
There are enough candidates for the
various nominations to enable the |
party to put up the strongest ticket |
ever nominated i'm the county, and !
with the exercise of little judgment,
a ticket that stands great chances of
being elected. However, the friends |
of the individual candidates must go |
into the convention determined to
work tremendously with each other,
and with the one desire of securing
the best men for the Office. The "rule |
or ruin" policy will not win out this
time. 1t must be remembered that |
but one man can secure the nominal |
ton for any Office, and those who are
defeated should feel inclined to abide |
10y the decision of the majority. Every
candidate feels that if he is nominated
he shold have the hearty support of
the defeated, and unless he is willing
TO give the same support if he happens
to be the unfortunate, should not 90
into the convention. If you have Il
knife up your sleeve for somebody,

trenched as the Democratic party has
been, and then you can do little
knitting and not entirely ruin the
chances of party success.
After the convention is over let
there be systematic, determined eff
fort on the part of Republican cap
tains and priyates. Let them know
and understand just where and how
each man stands, and above all make
individual Republicans feel the i'm
portance of this election. Stay-at-
homes have lost many u battle, but
that should not be the case at this
time.
With normal Democratic majority
of 400 or 500, this is no time for hick-
erings among Republicans. 1t takes
unity, harmony and hard work to win
this battle, but it can be won. The
reports from Logan are encouraging
and from the outlying districts even
more so. You hear Of many Demo-
cratic changes md few or no changes
