IT. you were going TO employ a law
yer would you employ the best? lfso,
would it not be good policy to take
the best for public office? Frank h.
Nebeker is the man for District At
torney.- Box Elder News.
We heartily agree with the first
part of the foregoing, but say that
Fred J. Iolton is that man. DO not
take our word for it; read what Rich
ard w. Young, one of the best attor-
neys in the state, says about him else
where in this issue. For truth and
veracity Mr.. Young is the equal of any
man living. Mr.. Young says he would
vote for Nebeker because he and that
gentleman are Of the same political
faith, but his partisanship does not
keep him from telling the truth.

HOW TO VO TIE

should be returned in preference to an
astute, cunning adversary, whose abil-
tiles must of necessity be devoted in
political enmlty to the administra-
ton, and who will have absolutely no
influence with the president. DO not
slap the president in the face, iigura-
lively speaking. When you vote for
him, give him honest, effective
support by also voting for a con-
gresham who is friendly to him, and
who will be able to exercise strong
influence for Utah because of that
very friendship. Then your vote for
the president will be a satisfaction to
him, pleasure to yourself, and bene-
fit to the state, by reason of its intel
ligence, honesty, consistency, and
rightfulneSs.

Wonder If Judge Hart has yet do
mated anything TO the democratic
campaign fund? \ few days ago the
"only" took as an insult the publica-
tion OF a rumor that the Judge had
given $500 to the fund, and said we
were throwing out nasty insnuations
at him. Docs Judge Hart, who has
been given 100000 by the democratic
party and is now asking $4,000 more
expect the rank and file TO put up the
campaign fund that he may be elect
ed? Democrats how do you like IT,.
Isn't it fact that the Judge could
almost afford to donate -, 900 or $1,000
to that fund you have been trying so
hard TO raise? Possibly the Judge has
contributed a 500 though, and that's
probably satisfactory to 1.-THE only"

Republicans worthy the name
should stand by the State Ticket from
top to bottom. All the candidates are
capable men in every respect and there
is not the slightest reason why one
should be scratched. You people who
may have formed an unfayorable i'm
preston of Mr.. Cutler, just remember
the impression that Heber NJ. Wells
created in his first campaign, and
now look back at his record. He is
considered strong man now, with a
record that is most creditable to him
self and the State. Mr.. Cutler will
prove fully his equal.

A Second Last Word.

Victory is ours, If the republicans
will stand pat and do their duty. The
time has now come that the campaign
cannot be aided from the stump or
press. Today is battle OF ballots.
Voters do your whole duty. Let it
not suffice for each one to vote him.
self, but let each republican make
himself committee Of one to see that
each member of the family votes, also
the relatives and neighbors. Leave
no stone unturned. that through neg
lected opportunities regrets will be Of
fcred after the election. Especially in
precincts where the outcome is likely
TO be close, do not let one voter re-
main away. One vote may lose your
precinct. Presidential elections come
but once in four years and some men
travel hundreds of miles for the eX-
press purpose of voting. Republicans,
make this the, greatest Of all election
days, partial holiday and labor for the
cause that you know is right. If
every man and woman in our ranks
will do this, victory is ours; if they do
not we may lose IL.
Never in the history of Cache coun-
ty have the democrats worked so as
siduously as they have at this election.
All kinds of strings have been pulled
to accomplish their ends. They know
that much depends upon their success
in this election. We again urge re.
publcans to lay aside personalities of
every kind and vote the ticket straight
IL this is done every voter so doing
will think more of himself on the NOR
row. In the consciousness Of having
been broad, having sacrificed personal
grievances for public good, he can not
but feel more satisfied and contented.

Bill" Glasmann was down at Plain
City the other day and The Standard
comments as follows:
Mr.. Powers. Why, / have great
faith in the people, not only of the
country at large, but Of Utah. | can
not believe otherwise than that in this
free government, after time--that Is
the trouble; | fear that | will not live
to see 1.-THE Mormon church will
take its place, where il ought to take
1t, like the rest of the churches, in the
country"
Mr.. Van Colt. With people who
have so little experience in political
matters, did you not regard it as rath-
er natura, that after the first cam
paign, in 1892, good many would
shift their position in the campaign of
1892"
"Mr. Powers. Yes, and particularly
in view OF the manner in which they
well known TO us all there that we had
certain set that were called church
republicans and a certain set that
were called church democrats, who
were not firmly attached TO either
PAL W bOI ouppoStu W DC pol llSdilS Ill
any sense OF the word; and OF course
those people Topped one way and an
other"
The above three paragraphs, to-
gether with others, Mayor Glasmann
read at Plain City and commented on
them and said this in effect says the
Mormon people are not American citi-
2ens like the members Of other church
es in the nation. Further, Mr.. Glas-
mann asked those set apart as church
democrats and church republicans TO
stand up-he wanted to see them.
Think Of it. After Powers makes
such statements under oath III Wash
ington, he asks the Mormon people to
trust him as their representative IN
Congress. He appeals to them and
saws that he will ward OIL ali danger
and trouble which he alleges will sure
ly befall the people unless they vote
for him. He promises to prevent all
hostile legislation against the people
of Utah, and yet he laid the ground
work TO bring about such legislation.
Mayor GlaSmann asked the Plain
City people fair and just question
when he said, Can Powers defend
Utah with any effect after giving the
testimony he did under oath?" Why,
II he should say anything contrary to
his evidence some other congressman
will produce his sworn testimony and
say, When did you tell the truth
when you were under oath or now?
When did you contradict yourself?'
1t is plainly to be seen that Mayor
Glasmann does not make his speeches
TO suit the democrats. The democracy
cannot disprove Mr.. CLASH INNS state
mcnts. So they say he Is lying. Well
that Is what the lawyer does when he
has no case; he says the witnesses for
the other side lied.

Mr.. ID. X. Roberts record as busi
ness man is without stain. He dares
deties any man to say that he has not
always treated him fairly and square
ly in any business matter and asks for
the name of any man whom he has
ever cheated out of a cent. Mr.. Rob
erts' record as a business man is with
out a flaw, and the attempt of the
democratic organ 10 place him in a
false position is most rcprehensible
but characteristic of this sheets
special fight on him. Although the
democrats believe that Mr.. Roberts
opponent is one OF their most popular
men they fear for his election and
have left nothing unsaid that could
possibly place Mr.. Roberts in an un-
favorable light.

1t Is unfortunate, I'm some respects,
that the election of superintendent Of
public instruction in the county or
state should occur on the same day Of
the national election, since political
considerations of an entirely different
kind from those that should enter in
are apt TO influence voters in their
choice of these officers. The most in
telligent people of any community,
and especially those who take the
greatest interest in schools and educa-
ton, realize that politics should play
a small part in the selection Of those
who are TO direct the educational in
tereStS. After the election is over it
matters not whether the superintend-
ent is democrat or republican. 1t
does matter, however, whether he is
capable of administering the Office to
which he has been selected and wheth-
er he possesses the qualifications that
one should have who holds that i'm
portant position.
That Mr.. 4. &. Nelson, the present
State superintendent of public in
struction has been an Efficient Official,
and one who has discharged the duties
of the office in an able and impartial
manner goes without saying. That it
would be unwise to turn him down
right when he is best fitted by four
years Of experience far still more
efficient service, and put in his place a
man, who even il he is as well qualifi-
ed by education, is inexperienced and
untred in this particular work, is
evident to Thoughtful people.
For the best interests of our State
and our educational interests general
ly, the thoughtful voters of this
county will surely do wtat they can
to re-elect Mr.. Nelson as State Super
of Public Instruction.

Due to Republican PoIiciss-

II has been the aim of American
manufacturers and the desire of our
people to increase the exports of manu-
features. Under the old Democratic
regime manufactures constituted
small item of our exports. Under Re-
publican rule tney have steadily in.
creased. During the ten years ending
OF our total exports, and during the
ten years ending with 1860 they aver
aged IL per cent. of the whole. During
the last ten years of Democratic rule
our exports of manufactured products
increased only one per cent.
The Republican party came into
power in 1860, and during the ten
years ending with 1870 our exports OF
manufactured products formed 1G per
cent. Of the total exports; during the
ten years ending with 1890 they aver
aged is per cent OF the total. and dur
ing the ten years ending with 1900
they were 81 per cent. Of the total.
In the fiscal year 1901 they were 2S
per cent. of the total and in 1902 they
were 30 per cent. of the total.
The figures show conclusively that
the great system Of American manu-
features and our increased exports OF
manufactured products which contri-
butte 50 largely to the wealth and pros
perity of the country are due to Re
publican policies and administrations

A Last Word.

Today is election day. 1t is legal
holiday in thirty-three Of our states.
1t is the nations holy day, for what is
more sacred than the ballot and the
day upon which the free people OF a
free country give effective expression
to their views upon the most import
ant questions that concern the nation
al .welfate? Let no man who loves his
country and who has an interest in
her welfare regard other than serious
ly the duties of election day. Let no
man think that he may shun the priv
ilege Of voting without having the
responsibility OF the kind Of laws and
government that his neglect makes
possible. Let no man think because
he is not sure which way he should
vote, therefore he is abSolved FROM
voting. 1t is the right OF every one
who has right TO vote to consider
carefully the meaning and probable
effect his choice may have upon the
country, the state and the nation In
which he lives. 1t is the duty OF
every voter to seriously ask himself
whether by his choices when making
out his ticket, he is going to advance
or retard the interests Of the people
all the people, rather than any politi,
cal party. For, after all, when the
politicians have had their say, it is
the welfare of all, rather than a part,
that the intelligent citizen is interest,
ed in, The politician, as such, should
be given little consideration at such
an important time as this. 1t is only

people and OF principles, that the poll,

1t seems hardly consistent that the
class OF people whom Judge Powers
stated before the Smoot investigation
committee dared not say their souls
were their own can be induced to vote
for him. Again, mist still hangs
over the present attitude Of Frank }.
Cannon, for IL must lie remembered
that not democratic speaker has ut
tered one word of censure upon his
severance from that party. Not one
line has been seen in any of the demo-
cratic papers condemning him for his
course. On the other hand, we have
heard that the word went out from
democratic headquarters in Salt Lake
that no attacks were to be made on
Mr. Cannon. II this is true, and we
believe it is, what are the deductions
TO be made. There is only one way to
look at it and that is that Frank j.
Cannon's departure means good for
the democrats. That there has been
some kind OF an understanding between
the demS and the X. X. party still
turks in the minds of many people.

The only" brands as "a lie cut
from whole cloth" the assertion Of
this paper that neither the democratic
sheriff nor his deputy can be found
when wanted. OF course 1t could
hardly be expected that the de-
putty would admit this, and you all
understand that It's he who writes
this and lot Of other stuff in
"the only" Despite the fact that
Marshall denies this, THE REPUBLI-
CAN is correct, especially so far as the
sheriff himself is concerned. 1t is said
that the clerks Office has no less than
from six to dozen calls for the sheriff
every day, likewise the treasurer's
office, and it is exceedingly seldom
that the democratic sheriff Is TO be
found. II is also true that the law
requires his attendance in the court
room at each term of court, but he is
seldom there and at this recent term
did not show up at all. Clerk Larsen
has been deputized TO serve as sheriff.
So far as Mr.. Rigby's deputy is con-
Cerned, he may be somewhat easier to
lind than the genial sheriff, but when
found it seems that ne has little incli-
nation TO do the strenuous thing. He
has asserted a number of times that
he was not paid TO do the sherif's

Men in the republican party who
have been disappointed through varl-
GUS causes and have complained
against the regular ticket should bear
in mind the fact that there is but one
course for them TO pursue and that is
to support the ticket with their vote
and influence, If not, after the re.
turns are in and carefully considered,
the scratching or dislOyalty TO the
ticket will be charged TO somebody, as
IL has been in the past. In some
cases We believe that unjustitiabe
charges have been made, yet they
ARE made. We say again with the
kindest OF feelings-rise above per-
Sonalties, sacrifice no part OF the tick

cans.

The Supreme court never said that
Judge Harris decision as to the ballots
being illegal and void was incorrect.
They did not say that from the ballots
as presented from those sealed pack
ages, Farrell was not legally elected
and entitled to the office.-The Only.
OF course they did not. They DID
say that ballot packages handled as
the ones in question had been handled
should not nave been brought into
consideration. The law provides that
unless every reasonable care to protect
the ballots had been exercised, a re-
count must necessarily be out of the
question. Every part Of the testi-
mony went to show that the ballots
had not been cared for as provided by
law, hence the Supreme judges must
have been foolish to go into the mat
ter further.
Though they had Investigated the
ballots in question and had held as
Judge Hart did, yet they had no AS
surance that these were the original
marking on the ballots.
This following little bit Of the ex-
clerks testimony would seem to be
sufficient for any fair man. The ex-
clerk, in speaking Of the care of those
ballots in the telephone room, said;

time that they were there; it would
have been possible il anyone desired
TO do so that some of them might
have been taken out and kept over
night and over day and then re-
turned and ! would never have been
the wiser"
