eulLrLess AND FEARLESS.

In Salt Lake, and few contiguous
counties, the political situation Is
clouded by the presence OF third
party which has taken to Itself the
name OF the American party.
In its ranks are to be found some
of the best men In the commonwealth
of Utah. Many of them are earnest
and sincere. and have at heart the
best interests OF the state. They are
fighting for what they think is a prin-
cipal and as citizens have the right
TO follow their convictions. We think
they are mistaken In their methods,
and that II there Is any thing to make
right, II had best be accomplished by
earnest work within the ranks of the
Republican party. the party which was
brought into existence nearly a half
century ago for the express purpose
Of righting wrongs, and which has
been graphing with and correcting
evils all that time We think that the
American party as a party can never
appeal successfully to a vast majority
OF the people OF the state Of Utah.
Certain politicians. carried away by
the heat OF political discussion. have
said that II this new party is in any
way successful that the Mormon peo-
pie had better leave the state, for the
reason that the law would he enforced
90 that end.
Such talk is the merest drivel In
the first place, the overwhelming ma
jority of the Mormon people are law
abiding. and as such can look any Of
officer OF the law In The face without
fear. Only those need quake whose
acts are amenable TO the law.
In the second place. as was said
above. II Is utterly impossible that this
local party can ever achieve any gro@'
success Utah is naturally RepuDn.
can, American party domination
would mean that the tail would wag
the dog. The material interests OF
the state demand that Republican prin.
cipals prevail Republicans are not to
be led away by side issues. The
buster OF its opponents is useless.

TO REPUBLICANS.

We are anxious to have every Re
publican in close touch. and working
in harmony with the Republican ma
tional congressional committee in ia.
vor OF the election OF a Republican
congress.
The congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record OF the party, and

personality must be a central figure
and his achievements central
thought in the campaign.
We desire TO maintain the work OF
this campaign with popular subscrip'

licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam.
