CONVENTION IN SUMMIT
Especial to The Herald. }


Kaysville Oct 16-The Democratic
county convention was held at Farming
toi To-Day and during a very harmonious
session IL nominated a winning ticket and
accepted q. platform that has caused q
Sooo deal of uneaSineSs in the Republican
ranks The absence of any prearranged
slate such as was in evidence in the Re
pubilcan convention, was favorably COM
as follows:
First-The Democratic party of Davis
county in convention assembled endorses
in the most emphatic manner the Dlat-
form adopted by the Democratic state
convention held in Salt Lake City on Oct
A. 1906 and also the nominees of that
convention.
Second-We recall with some amuse-
ment the notorious utterances of <Repub-
hcan candidates for office in former cam
paigns, enunciated in platform and on
the stump, that the work of county Off
GERS could and should be done for half
of the salaries then paid, and we have
waited in vain four years to learn of any
RepublicanRffice-ho holder covering into the
county treasury any part of his salary.
We call upon the Republicans TO make
good their anti-election promises or to
confess inconsistency
Not only have the Republicans I'm poWer
not done the work for half price. but we
call the voters attention to the fact that
the Republican administration has raised
sheriff above the schedule which they
themselves declared was too high by half.
Third Termers Hit
Tbird-We direct attention TO the ridicu-
lous attitude of the Republican party of
Davis county on another once cherished
doctrine of their party-anti-third-te term
ism Before they We're in power they de-
noUnced In most virulent manner any man
VINO after two terms in office, aSpired to
any further honors in that line, and de-
clared themselves as unalterably opposed
to a third term for any man, no matter
how tried, trusted and efficient. Now
behold the change. Republicans in power
have openly repudiated this doctrine by a
formal vote in their county convention
held last week. and at the very first pos
sible opportunity they have nominated
men for third terms. Again we call upon
the Republican party to confess incOn-
sistency or call down their third term
candidates.
Fourth-The Democratic party has all
along stood consistently for non-partisan-
ship in the schools and as an earnest
OF their faith have voted for a Republic
IN for the position of county Superinten-
Dent. We affirm the principle that the
county superintendent while holding that
position, should not dabble in partisan
politics.
Fifth-We have no hesitancy in pointing
to the past record of the Democratic party
in Davis county And we submit that
for economy and efficiency the Demo-
cratic administrations have been above
criticism. The interest of the taxpayer
has been always safeSuarded and we con-
fidently present the candidates of this
convention 60 the voters with the aSsur-
ance that the same careful economy and
good judgment in county affairs will be
the rule if Democratic officers are placed
in power.
