NEED APPLY. !"

How entirely this Ii to the slogan OF
the mlssnamed American party during
the coming school election campaign, "a
well evidenced by the following edl-
torlal from this mornings Tribune.
THE nominations made by the 90
called non-partlsRns On fact by n
union OF the partlsansl for members Of
the Board OF Education In this city aim
10 keep the schools as they are. that ls
the ayOwod object. Il is OF interest,
therefore, 10 ote just what the present
control be-, promising the summary
with the sef-eyldent proposition that
the Mormon members have proved
themselves always and every time Sec
torles, and do not know how to be any
thing else.
In the First ward, then, we have on
the Mormon side, Messrs Branting,
who Is a Mormon, and Mr. Cummings,
who was elected by the Mormons and
always acts with them; IN the Second
ward, Mr., Glauque; In the Third,
Messrs. Newman and MOyle; IN the
Fourth Mr. Thomas-slx.

Cheesman In the Second Mr. Geoghe-
gan In the Fourth, and Messrs. Nelden
and Henderson IN the Fifth,
Nov, the contention Is that this Is a
condition which Il Is desirable 10 per-
petuate. We may be pardoned for dis
sent We do not think that II Is. For,
on we have shown, the Mormon menu
hers are always sectarian even when
they don't mean 20 be, they are. The
only true non-seotarlans are the nom
Mormons, and 10 have the public
schools OF this city non -sectarian, they
non-sectarlnns there are.
1.-THE crucial position In this election
Is In the Second ward, We assume mat
the non-Mormons can and will eject I'm
the First ward for on any sort Of a
division they are entitled to elect, the
Mormons elected their man the last
time and they surely cannot claim In
that ward 10 elect all the time.
In the Third ward, the Mormons will
elect OF course; where they have the
power, they never dream OF sharing
with the Gentiles; they have and mean
to retain both members OF the Third,
In the Fourth. the -Mormons are
fairly sure Of elcoting one member. pos
sibly they may elect both; and they VIII
elect one In the Fifth,
THAT leaves the Second the fighting
ground, In which Mr.. Glauque seeks a
third term on a record that Ia In no
way satisfactory. II there has been

The public thinks that the reason IL,

he was gladly engaged by Seattle, a
CITY far greater than Salt Lake In pop

than he asked here. our candid opinion
is that Mr. Glnuques record on The
Board, combined with his imperfect
knowledge OF school work and what
schools ought TO be, do not entltle him

II Is safe 10 say that the outrageous
