Utah might as well recognize the fact
that they have been struck down In the
4 house OF thier alleged friends. Their
! leader. Sutherland, has gone down in
~ defeat. The machine is triumphant and
the VIII OF its leader is law.
NO LONGER REPUBLICAN.
There is no longer Republican par
tty In Utah. The organization that Is
masquerading under its name is sor-
4 did political machine automatically
registering the Will OF its creator FL
{ deity to the principles OF the party OF
Y Abraham Lincoln, is no longer the test
! Of Republcanism IN Utah. The Repub-
4 lican from principle sits on q rear seat
twhile a clamorous horde Of worship
pers Of wealth and power abjectedly adj
4 tvocate every wish or suggestion OF the
new ruler OF Utah. No man has the
4 Wright to express an independent
thought, of his own, II that thought
'lnterferes with the plans of the ma
chine, This new political organization
>will rule with rod OF iron II has
/, placed Its cap upon a pole and ii de-
.mands that the people bow. II Is con-
tducting itself with the arrogance Of am
n ticipated victory but It Is counting
without it's host for the Democratic
tvotcs will show that Utah Is not yet
.rendy to surrender TO political king
Is MACHINE BENEFICIARlEs.
/, The beneflciaries of this machine as
<suming a patriotic spirit with which
X they are not lmbued, are asserting that
ID .the Democratic party Of Utah and our
sBenator have attacked the American
! .army and slandered the American sol
n oilers. Our sole offense consists In the
h fact that we have declared and still In
De- .sist that torture must not be meted out
r TO the conquered by any person at any
In time In our name and that those who
|a fare guilty must feel the arm Of the law.
III THAT crueltles have been inflicted upon
IA !the brown men Of distant Islands. un.
|d Fortunately has been proved. Within
N tthe past ten days the president dsap-
RI proved the finding Of not guilty In the
scase Of an officer charged with having
la Inflicted the barbarous water cure upon
HI {the natives OF the Philippine Islands
III kThose who In their hearts are cruel
81 lenough TO admire such things may con-
= 'tinue to cry out that our protest IL an
4 attack upon the army. The great con-
lscience OF the country Will not endorse
a leuch acts.
II, az the machine claims. this Is trea-
son, then every humane and Christian
n Imam Is q traitor. The divine command
\ ''thou shalt not kill" includes the HUI
81 1nnne command "Thou shalt not tor
ture'' We insist that the right escut-
cheons OF our patriotic army shall no.

rle not civilized.
We believe In the right Of the people
10 rule. This Ia a government of the
h people and Ii must be a government
by the people. And that II may be a
truly representative government, we
h favor the election Of United States SEN
tators by the people. The political his
tory OF Utah strongly argues In favor
OF our position, The record of the last
b Republican legislature Is a scandal and
lreproach 10 the state. The long line OF
Tour late legislators reaching out for
plpublIc Offices as a reward for their
1yotcs places blot upon the name OF
&lutah. The notorious bargain that one
eman should be elected TO the senate al
one legislative session, who IN turn Is
70 elect his political partner to the SEN
ate ct the next legislative session, Is an
people 10 choose the senators that cam
not be answered. The manner In which
United States senators are chosen In
eficates that one of two things ought
30 be done: Either the high office of
united states senator should be put
up at auction and sold to the highest
bidder and the money received turned
into the. school fund or else the people
MOULD be allowed to name the sena-
,or BY their unbought votes, and thus
pave done with the oarnlvals of cor
,uption that have dlsgrared the natlorf
n the struggles of rich men To breaX
INTO the United States senate.
A UNITED DEMOCRACY.
With no dlssentlons in our ranks.
Ind with full faith In the justice OF
bur cause, we, the Democrats Of Utah,
viii strive for the best interests OF all
he people. We shall meet the issues
pr the day with no hesitation or eva
lion and we proudly point to the
achievements Of our party IN the inter-
st Of the nation II you rejoice be-
ause America has become world
