AS TO LEADERS.

| IT SEEMS TO US that it Will be time
L enough for Popuiist Thomas Watson
to begin talking about how he is going
to reorganize the Democratic party aft
er he has been asked to reorganize it.
Watson did his little best to bring
about the defeat of Judge Parker
\ There was more than a suspicion that
the campaign funds with which his
campaign committee was so beautifully
supplied were furnished by the Repub-
lican national committee.
Watson lost no opportunity to praise
President Roosevelt. nor did he lose an
opportunity to denounce Judge Parker
and the Democratic party No Repub-
Lean speaker in the campaign assailed
the Democrats as fierceiy as Mr.. Wat
son. What right has he to talk about
| recognizing the Democratic party?
What right has he to say what the
Democrats should or should not do, ex-
cept in the sense that every citizen has
the right to criticise and advise?
Watson talks about what he and VIII
liam Randolph Hearst and William
Jennings Bryan are going TO do. Well.
has Hearst any more right than Wat
son 90 pose as a reorganizer of the
Democratic party? Let us examine the
record as TO Hearst. This young man
was badly beaten for the presidential
nomination. Did he accept defeat calm
ly? Did he do everything in his power
to bring about the election Of his sue
cessful competitor? No. Mr.. Hearst did
nothing of the sort. In his newspapers
he gave Judge Parker the miIdest sort
of support.
Nothing about the Democratic CAM
paign pleased him. The speakers did
not suit him, the issues that were made
prominent did not suit him. the men in
charge of the Democratic battle were
adversely criticised by him. Mr.. Hearst
printed twenty columns of matter ad-
verse 70 the Democratic cause for every
one in favor of it. Does this entitle

want no sulky traitors at the Democrat
ie helm.
The case of Mr.. Bryan Is altogether
different. Mr.. Bryan did not get ev-
erything he wanted in the ST. Louis
convention. He was not at all pleased
with the nomination Of Judge Parker
But. after the first keenness of his dis
appointment had worn away. and we
must do him the justice TO say it did
wear away very quickly, Mr.. Bryan
went out and fought as hard as he knew
how for Judge Parker. He did all that
any man could do for the success. of the
Democratic ticket.
Bryan is entitled to the leadership
he has a first mortgage on the honor.
But Watson and Hearst have no shadow
of claim to even rear seats in the Dem
ocratic tabernacle.

WORST BEATEN NOMINEE.
Not Horace Greeley-General Scott
Got Only 40 Votes.
New York Sum

Horace Greeley is often referred to
as the worst beaten candidate for pres
ident ever nominated by either of the
great parties. In the November elsc-
ton of 1872 Mr.. Greeley was defeated,
the popular majority against him be-
ing 727 ,000
That majority, though considerable
did not record the full measure OF the
disaster OF the Greeley canvass, for
about three weeks later, on Nov 80
Mr.. Greeley died, and when the cleo
tors in the states which he mad car
ried met in January. only three Of
them-three from GeOrgia-voteI for
Mr.. Greeley, and the votes of these
three were objected TO on the official
canvass on the ground that Mr.. Gree
ley, having died, was not an eligible
candidate to vote for. his death being
"a historic fact"
The house Of representatives refused
TO receive these three votes; the SEN
ate agreed to. As g consequences
therefore, Mr.. Greeley did not actual
ly receive single electoral vote but
the Greeley electoral ticket polled
eighty electoral and 100000 popular
votes.
a worse beaten candidate for the
presidency than Horace Greeley. every

VALUE OF VOTING MACHINES.


VOTING MACHINES were used this
year for the first time in Evans
vile, Ind. Forty of them were installed
in as many voting districts Twelve
thousand votes were cast in these poll
ing places. Three hundred candidates
were voted for. Full returns from one
district on presidential electors, state
and county and township officers and
members of the legislature were re-
ceived just four minutes and thirty.
seconds after the voting was over. All
OF the others reported in full within an
hour or two.
The people Of Evansville knew, long
before bedtime, the exact majority re-
ceived by each Of the successful county
and legislative candidates and the ma
jorities received by the successful can
didate for congress in their county, as
well as the majorities of the winning
state nominees. Although. as stated.
the machines were used for the first
time. there was no delay. Every voter
was enabled to vote promptly, every
vote was properly registered and the
returns were given in full in a Won
derfully short time.
Here in Salt Lake, five days after the
election. we do not know the exact vote
in this county. tits true that the result
will not be affected by the precincts
that are stin to be heard from, but in
a close election it might be very impor-
tant to hear from them promptly. With
voting machines a Salt Laker could
know exactly how any election in this
city or county had gone within an hour
after the closing Of the polls. The ad-
vantages Of hearing election returns are
obvious.
Probably first In importance is the
elimination. to a large extent. OF posi-
bilities of fraud. With voting machines
it would DE impossible to hold back the
returns until the number of votes nee
essary to overcome an adverse majority
in another district could be ascer-
tanned. In the second place, the people
are entitled to election news as quickly
as they can get it. Third, voting ma
chimes, though expensive in the first
instance, save money in the long run
because fewer election officers are
needed.
Anybody can use a voting machine
with a moments instruction. In some
districts that have them upwards OF 500
votes have been cast, so there is no
danger that the suffrage win be limited
by them. 1t seems to us that the city
and county officers would do well to
look into the matter.

THE APOSTLE PAUL was a far-see-
that some nineteen centuries after he
had been gathered to his fathers there
would be elections in this country; that
some men would be elevated to Office,
that others would be defeated. And he
must have had in mind this when he
wrote TO the Corinthians:
For We see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many noble,
are called.
But God hath chosen the foolish
things of the world to confound the
wise; and God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the
things which are mighty"
City councils and legislatures and
county and state officers were likely
enough very much the same in PauTs
time as in ours. They were chosen
after a different fashion, but the net
result seems to have been the same.
And Paul knew that order of things
would continue for all time. AS we
look over the returns from the election
of last Tuesday we are convinced of
the truth of the apostles words
We are hoping. however, for the best.
We are hoping, somewhat against hope.
It is true. that our newly-elected Off
GERS will not look upon themselves as
the masters, but rather as the servants
OF the people. The tendency of men who
have been elected to office to consider
themselves rather better than ordinary
mortais is altogether too pronounced in
the United States Men forget that the
same power that exalts can put down.
In Utah this year some young men
have, for the first time, been given pub
lie office. 1t is to them in particular
that we desire to address ourselves this
morning. Politics has ruined a great
many young men. From our own OBJ
seryation we could cite case after case
in which men Of bright prospects have
been absolutely and irretrievably ruined
because the people have given them
public Office The temptations of today
are so alluring that the young office
holder forgets that tomorrow he must
pay the penalty for yielding.
There is always a tomorrow. Only
the few noble. only the few mighty.
only the few wise will survive. "A.pub-
lie Office is public trust" said former
President Cleveland. Truer words were
never spoken. The man who does not
regard a public office as a public trust
will, sooner or later take his place
among the unworthy a man who
would not think for a moment of using
a trust fund for his own benefit looks
upon public Office as much his own as
the money in his pocket And yet no
man OWES public Office any more
than he owns the trust fund over which
he has control
The Office is given to the man for a
time. and an accounting of his steward
ship must be made in due season. What
VIII the accounting be? The answer
must depend upon the ofice-holder him
self. We are not among those who be-
lieVe that politics is a game that only
rich men can play at. There is album
dant opportunity Tor a career in poll
tics for any young American who is
honest and able and sincere. But he
must be as true 10 his trust as the
needle to the pole. his record from be-
ginning to end must contain neither
spot nor blemish.

Pierre is Just as far from the center of
