THE REAL REASONS WHY THE
"AMERICAN" PARTY WAS
STARTED AND Is CAR
RIED ALONG.

I. Tom kearns wanted to be re.
elected Senator against the wishes of
the people. President Smith of the
Mormon church refused to help him,
turned a deaf ear to Toms pleading
and Toms threats had no effect what
ever on Mr.. Smith except to make him
more determined not to help Tom and
not to get into politics.
2. President Joseph r. Smith Of
the Mormon chuch prevented ex-Sena
tor Cannon from "skinning". the
church out of $25o,ooo on the church's
issue of bonds.
8. Ex-Senators kearns and Cannon
want revenge. That's all.

see a little beyond the ends of their
noses have come to the conclusion
that the movement founded on re-
vDnge and hatred cannot succeed. The
developments of the past few days
have confirmed that view, shown that
tie party is doomed to decay and dis
solution. kearns, the head and front
of the gang, has given it out cold that
10 is about to give up Salt Lake as
his home; that after the election he
v ill abandon the fight in Utah and
he himself off to his ranch in
California, and bask in the sunny
line where the orange blossoms
bloom. Without him and his newspa-
or, the so-called American" party
would be a dead letter in twenty-four
hours. Kearns, when the time comes,
when it suits his arrangements, will
go off and without any conjunction
will leave his misguided followers to
ok out for themselves. That time is
not far distant Then the Kearnsites
will be men without a party, political
rphans and outcasts. The prospect

The past few days Lynch's stock has
cone up. The people are coming to
see that in order to beat the Kearns
crowd the only thing to do is to vote
the Republican ticket. This is a mat
ter in which people can't afford to
take any chances. The only certain,
effectual and sure way to beat the
common enemy is to vote for Lynch
and every man on his ticket Make
70 mistake and take no chances.

The Americans" are calculating on
the chances of a three-cornered fight
to sweep them into office. Don't be
FOOLISH. Don't play their game. Con-

lost, and the city will be delivered
over to the gang of looters.

CLOSED until after the election of

mttee," was the reading of placard
which remained posted on the door of
Democratic headquarters Wednesday
For over two hours before a Demo
crat happened along to remove it.
Such is the extreme isolation of the
place.
The Tribune has proved that the
Tentiles control the business of the
,ity, mercantile and professional; own
% per cent of the taxable property of
he city; own 80 per cent of the de-
'irable business property of the city;
control the schools; and in proving
his, have proved that there is no more
need of an antiMormon party here
nan there is for anti-Catholic or an
methodist party, and not half the
necessity that there Is for an anti
Xearns or antiCannon organization.

Every Republican having it in his
r her mind to vote the American"
ticket next Tuesday, should stop and
consider what they are doing, consid-
n whom it is that they are sustaining
n this un-American move. If they do
top to think they will see that they
re drawing their inspiration from the
tribune. that the spite, hatred and re-
'engeful thoughts of two unprinci-
lied political scalawags, Tom Kearps
md Frank J. Cannon, is the only
foundation for the party to which
they are pinning their faith; that ac-
cording to the confessions of these
men themselves through the columns
of their organ. the defeat and over
throw of the Republican party is the
paramount issue with them.
~ ~
Republicans should stop to consider
as they always have considered, that
the Republican party is as much a
party of the people in municipal mat
tiers as in national affairs. Republi.
can principles and Republican ideas
of honest upright government are as
much behind mayor of a city as they
are behind a president of the United
States. Republicans have always hes.
itated to take a chance in putting in
power an irresponsible man or set OF
men; they prefer that officeholders
shall have the backing of some strong
political organization, of the Republi-
can party. The election of William ].
lynch and the balance of the Repub-
lican ticket next Tuesday, means that
for the next two years the Republican
party. with its long history of honest
upright and loyal administration. will
be responsible for the conduct of mu-
nicipal affairs. The election of Ezra
Thompson and his following means
that for two long years the affairs of
the city will be in the hands of set
of men absolutely without principle
without one single policy or pledge
for which anybody is responsible
What honest Republican, with one lit.
tie spark of party pride left, can hes
| itate for a moment when he enters
the voting booth next Tuesday? He
cannot, he will put his tx" under the
stars and stripes and let it go at that.

Strong intimation that this country is

The fact has leaked out that the ord

tensive military and naval operations
In the Far East-and not in the Philip
pines. either The utmost secrecy has
attended these pTeliminaries, and il has
been impossible to induce any officials
to indicate exactly what is doing. But
1t is known that preparations are max
ing for grave eventualities which are re-
garded as more than possible in view
OF the Shanghai. outbreak Of feeling
against foreigners.
Confirmation direct OF the significance
of these ordnance activities comes from
the higher authorities of the War De-
partment, who have unexpectedly order
ed the First and Second infantry and the
Eighth and Thirteenth batteries of artilI-
cry 20 the Philippines. There is no cor
responding order for the withdrawal Of
ar equal force from the islands. as has
