The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-10-28

No, a Democratic administration
would never sell the city light plant.
THE REPUBLICAN does not believe
that it would have the disposition to
do so, and it is absolutely certain that
it would not dare. BUT, it is a well
known fact that Mr.. Num- made to
the special committee appointed to
confer with him a few months ago a
proposition that Logan city turn its
plant over to his company, let them
run the same until they get their
money 1885, 900 or 100000 out of it,,
and then turn it back to the city.
Mr.. Num- made just exactly that
offer, and while the Democratic ad-
ministration would not sell the city
plant, isn't il entirely possible, even
probable that il might accept such
proposition? Mr.. Num- is quoted as
saying before that committee, II

Joseph +. Carbon democratic nomi-
nee for the mayorality, is one OF Lo.
gan's most genial and popular gentle.
men, he is progressive and aggressive,
but in speaking Of the republican adj
ministration as childish, childish in
the extreme" he gives evidence of be-
ing what many Of even his best friends
fear-too inexperienced, too youthful
himself for the onerOuS duties OF the
mayorality. The mayor and every
man in the city council is certainly
his equal in business experience, and
there are none but have the adyant-
aye OF him in years. The republican
administration may have made mis-
takes-few men, and few combina-
tions OF men are there but do-yet a
statement that the past republican
administration have been childish,
childish in the extreme could come
only from man not quite broad
enough, not quite big enough for the
mayorality. Mayor Robinson has the
advantage of Mr.. Carbon in years, in
public life, business experience, and
as a public servant. He is capable,
and fearless. progressive and earnest.
The voters can not refuse him for
Joseph f. Carbon.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-10-28

The Democratic organ in writing OF
Nominee Jos. f Carbon says; He is
as good a friend to the plant as Mayor
Robinson is, but there is this diner
ence between him and the Republican
candidate-he is pledged TO solve the
electric light problem, or at least
make a sincere effort to do so, and Mr..
Robinson is not" The Democratic
organ forgot TO mention another diiier'
ence that exists between the two men,
Mr.. Robinson'S connection with the
installation of the plant, his work on
the Electric Light Committee, and his
two years of mayorality since the
plant has been in operation gives him
a knowledge of that plant and an in
sight into solving the difficulty, that
Mr.. Carbon can not possibly get in
two years. Then again, does any citi-
zen loyal to Logan and its interests
need to be pledged TO solve one OF It's
difficult problems?. The Journal ad-
mits that Mr.. Carbon is no better
friend to the plant than Mr.. Robinson
and this being the case will he work
harder to make that plant a success?
Considering the years of experience OF
the two men, CAN he work more effec-
lively for the plant than Mr.. Robin
son? Isn't it also true that Mr.. Car
don represents that party of which a
great element has made the present
lamentabe condition possible? Mayor
Robinson unpledged can and will do,
and has done more for the plant than
Mr.. Carbon and the Democratic party
can expect to do even though bound
by a dozen pledges.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-10-28

There is never time when any re-
publican can afford to let any personal
difference between himself and a
regularly named nominee keep
him from giving that nominee his
most loyal support. There is no par
ticular credit in supporting ones
friends, but the man who can lay
down his personal grievances and gasp
the hand Of one who has wronged him
is big man worthy of commentator.
The time for differences is before a
convention. Once the convention has
spoken a party man is bound by every
tie of honor to abide by the decision
of his party.

HOW'S This?

Some little talk was INDUCED in up
on the streets to the effect that S. o.
Stevens, Republican nominee for
councilman of the Fourth ward, is u.s.
ing the Herucles lights. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that the gentle
man is taking the city lights and that
Edward O. Peterson, the Democratic
nominee, is using the Herucles lights.
How does this look for the Democrats:
Naming man to help solve the light
question in favor of Logan city when
he hasn't sufficient interest in the
city plant to give it his patronage is
certainly rather awkward circum-
stance.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-10-28

The city treasurer's office pays the
monumental sum Of Sl6 a month, but
the democratic push did not want TO
give this oilice to a well qualified lady
compelled to support herself, and
withall woman who has devoted her
life for democracy's sake, If all the
other workers among the democrats
are to be turned down as was Mrs.
Jacobsen, verify there's little encour.
agement for good service.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1905-10-28

Before casting your vote for man
of the opposite party, think well
whether the difference is 50 greatly in
his favor that you can afford to
turn down your party candidate. If
you ,perchance, were regularly named
candidate of any convention you would
expect the undivided support of the
party whose nominee you happened to
be, wouldn't you, and you would most
certainly feel it keenly If certain In
dividuals for little or no apparent
reason went over to the other fellow.
It's NJ to you. The democratic party
has nominated some good men, and If
in your mind some are better than
the republican candidates, is the diff
ference sufficient to warrant you in
sacrificing your party? Just think
about IL well.
