THE LAND OFFICE DEFENSE.

According to The Herald's Washing
ton correspondence, the officials of the
land office do not regard the evidence
important They say the land office in
vestigated the allegations of fraud a
long while ago and found nothing to
substantiate the charges. Besides, so
the land office officials aver, there is
nothing TO be gained by an investiga-
ton since the patents were issued so
long ago they are protected by the
statute of limitations
Doubtless Mr.. Mondell and Mr.. Rich
ards, both Of Wyoming, and both, in
land office, agree with the conclusions
reached by subordinate officials that the
coal land investigation is useless. It is.
Of course, only a coincidence that their
own state is concerned in some of the
most serious cases of alleged fraud,
and there can be no possible connection
between the charges of fraudulent coal
land entry and their appointment to
one Of the most important offices under
the government. At the same time the
discriminating mind may suspect some
cause for this eager defense of the land
office before the result of the investiga-
ton is submitted TO the president: and
the friends of Mr.. Mondell and Mr..
Richards will wish their subordinates
had not been so precipitate in their eff
forts to discredit the investigation.
If the land Office and the Wyoming
Republicans who have been identified
with it so conspicuously are clear of
wrong-doing, they ought to be glad TO
have their records investigated; and if
they are proper subjects OF inquiry the
public will be glad to have them inves-
tigated. In either event, as govern
ment officials they ought TO observe the
proprieties and not publicly discredit
the action of another department of the
administration acting under direction
Of the president. Here in the west
there has been more than a suspicion
for long time that Republican politics
in Wyoming and the loOting Of the pub
lie lands in some form or other were
synonymous propositions. The evidence
so far developed has been strong in
substantiation of the fact that some
body had done lot Of crooked work in
the location of public lands. The SOON
er the facts are known and the sus-
picions proved or disproved. the better
it will be for the public

sion and guerilla warfare between the
two wings of the Republican party
Excepting the very few polS.Saans
who profit by the disturbance and tur-
MOL, every citizen of this state is tired
of the chronic warfare and would glad
ly see it ended and the warriors put out
of commission.
There is just one way to accomplish
this desirable and desired end, and that
is by electing men TO office who are not
identified with any faction, who are OPP
posed alike to appeals TO religious pref
udice and to religious fears. who are
committed to no mans political ambi-
tons and are indebted TO no one man
or clique for their nomination. The
Democratic ticket and platform offer a
complete and final solution of the trou-
bles of Utah, because Democratic sue
cess would remove both the machine
Republicans and the machine ''Ameri-
cans from active politics and restore
TO Utah such peace as it has not known
I'm three years.

THE ONE ISSUE.

one question is Of the greatest i'm
portance in this campaign and it over
shadows any other issue: Do the peo-
pie OF Utah want to see the fight be-
tween the .Smoot faction and the
American" faction of the Republican
party kept up at the expense of the
state, or do they want TO settle it now?
If you happen to ask a follower of
these factions whether he would like TO
have peace i'm Utah, he will agree at
once that nothing would please him bet
ter, but at the same time he will declare
he does not mean to stop fighting until
the other faction is whipped to a stand
still.
If you ask any citizen who is not
identified with either, faction, he will
declare that the one handicap of the
state is the everlasting political discus

IlTTLEFIElD AND LABOR.

Mr.. Littlefield of Maine is coming TO
speak in Utah on behalf of the Smoot
Republican ticket. and his selection to
represent the administration is emil
nently fitting. To be sure. he is sent
TO the wild and woolly west because
the Republican managers of the more
sophisticated east will not have him,
and he must be sent somewhere; but
just the same he is the right man to
speak for Republicanism.
To begin with, Mr.. Littlefields most
recent distinction is the fight made
against him by the American Fedora
ton of Labor because of his antagonisn
to all the legislation desired by the Fed
Grafton at the hands Of congress. But
that is a minor distinction as compared
with the interests he represents. Mr..
Littlefield is from the home of the Ding
ley tariff; he is and has been a most
consistent supporter of all the legisla-
ton desired by the trusts He stands,
with his party, not only against the
demands of labor, but in favor Of
everything the trusts want AS be-
tween piratical organizations of capital
and the common citizen, Mr.. Littlefield
may be depended upon to stand with
the organizations that furnish the cam
paign funds for his party and take
their pay in legislative favors.
His position needs no further COM
mentary than the bare statement that
ne is one Of Speaker Cannon's favor
tiles. committed 10 the stand-pat policy,
which means exploitation of the COM
mon people for the benefit of the Few.
He ought TO be a strong factor i'm the
Utah campaign, a factor for the defeat
of the Republican machine.

CALF LAKES NEW ERA.

-
Quietly and without any ado about it,
the Las Vegas & Tonopah road has
been completed TO the Bullfrog camps
and will be opened for business early
next week with an excursion from Los
Angeles and Salt Lake, which will af-
ford an opportunity for the visitors to
look over the ground and investigate
business openings in the new territory.
The excursion from Salt Lake starts
from here tomorrow afternoon under
the auspices of the Commercial club,
and a number Of prominent business
men will make the trip. The occasion
marks the addition of considerable ter
ritory TO the city's commercial field and
the certainty that business relations of
Importance will be established between
the points in southern Nevada and Salt
Lake, which is the natural outlet for the
ores and ore products of the new camps
Capitalists of this city have heavy in

business in and out of the. new territory
and that relations which will be estab-
hshed by the visit will be increasingly
profitable and pleasant as the country
tributary to the new line is developed.

The confidence is rightly based on the
