Republican Candidates.

Joseph S. Larsen. candidate for
county clerk is but twenty. I've years
OF age. yet young man Of more than
average ability along general lines, and
possessing exceptional qualifications
for the office. He came to this nun.
dane sphere in the year 1881, landing
in Paradise. He finished his common
school education at sixteen years Of
age, and later attended the Brigham
Young college. There he took the
four-year commercial course, gradual
ing with honor. At such spare time
as was his, Mr.. Larsen carried on a
correspondence course in Mining with
the big Scranton school and quite re.
Gently was awarded his diploma. Dur.
ing the past three years he has been
one of the deputies in the county
clerks office, and TO him much Of the
very superior condition of that Office
is due. This Office really requires the
best clerical service obtainable, and as
graduate commercial man with
three years experience in this Office
no more thoroughly equipped man can
be found in Cache county. Mr.. Lar.
sen is a clean, upright young man
without a faint upon his character or
reputation. He is worthy the vote of
every man and woman in this county,
and there is little reason to doubt at
this time that he will receive more
than the normal republican majority.

The fact Is, the Democratic organ
fibs a little about democratic senti-
ment In favor OF the college, and then
it fbs some more about the great
things Messrs Barber, Nebeker, Mon
son and Owen can do. The democra-
tic state convention sentiment was
not very friendly to the college, and
the local squad didn't feel strong
enough to make fight for the COL

Republicans may be lighting Sheriff
Smith, as the democratic organ says,
but we have not yet run across one
Of them. Certainly it is difficult TO
believe that any republican who took
part in the primaries or convention is
either fighting him or will vote
against him. 1t has been demon.
strated that democrats In this county
deem IL no dishonor to bolt their reg
ularly nominated ticket, but with
the result Of such democratic action
staring republicans in the face 1t is
impossible to believe that members Of
the G. o. P. will be so assenine in this
respect as the follows OF the chanti-
cleer. Sheriff Smith may not have
been the unanimous choice Of the re-
publican convention, but those who
voted against him would have ex-
pected the support of him and his
friends had he been defeated, and now
he has right to expect the support
OF those whom he defeated. We ven.
ture the kindly suggestion that it Is
not TO their personal or party advan-
tage for any member Of either primary
or convention to fight Sheriff Smith.
However, we are not inclined to feel
that many are doing so, and we know
that Mr.. Smith is not alarmed by this
or the democratic organs buster
about the election of the democratic
nominee.

year The only danger is that in the

be convinced by this time of the ad.
vantages Of republican over demo-

have the perception to realize these
advantages owe it to Others TO let
their light shine. Not only should
they be ready to vote on election day
the whole republican ticket, but to
devote in the meantime some of their
energies TO the activities OF campaign

republican record Of the past ten years

A. A. Law, candidate for county al
torney, is gentleman of homer and
integrity and the capacity necessary
TO conduct the affairs of the office with
distinct credit to himself and the ad-
vantage OF the county. Born in Para
disc in 1872, he is "a years Of age, the
prime of life. He graduated from the
district schools at Paradise, spent
about two years at the Brigham
Young College, taught school three
years in Colorado, became interested
In mining at the time Of the La Plata
boom and relocated at Paradise
Among his home people he was hon
ored with various local offices, and In
'9S Cache county voters elected him a
member OF the state legislature. There
his ability as speaker and his ster-
ling character attracted no little at.
tention. Following his service for the
state, Mr. Law returned to his Para.
disc farm, but in 1908 came TO Logan
to act as deputy for County Clerk Lar
sen. He has been an inmate of the
county court house ever since. 1t will
be noticed that Mr.. Laws experience
Is rather wide and it must be Judged,
and rightly too, that he is a broad
minded, capable citizen of strong men.
tally. His special training for the
Office to which he aspires comes in a
study of law begun nine years ago and
finished a year ago through the Chi.
cago Correspondence School OF Law.
Mr.. Law took up both the commercial
and regular law courses, and by dint
OF hard work and close application
passed the examination successfully
and was awarded his diploma Later
he was admitted to the bar OF Utah.
That he will make a splendid county
attorney once he is familiar with the
particular duties thereto attached Is
certain. Mr.. Law is a popular gentle.

Suffered for Vanity's sake.

When a woman was missing some
time ago her relatives published a de-
tailed descriI ton of her. II contained
this sentence: Small toe OF each foot
missing" As 1t was very unlikely
that both toos had been amputated by
accident some one asked the womans
mother to account for the lost toes.
After a gallant effort to evade the
question the old lady reluctantly con-
fessed that her daughter had had the
toes severed to enable her to wear very
small Secs.

Democracy is now trying to pose as
the only all. neutrality-suspicious. com
bination that never solicited or ac-
cepted Church influence. Its dspo,
sition in this respect is strikingly il.
lustrated in the vote for George Q.
Cannon when he was candidate for
Senator before the legislature OF 0S.
%, George @ Cannon was a pronoun-
ced gold republican, yet no less
than seventeen silver" democrats
voted Tor him. Had George q been a
gold democrat there might have been
a reasonable excuse for even silver
democrats staying with him; or had
he been a silver" republican there
might still have been some excuse for
silver democrats voting for him. But
for silver democrats to vote for gold
republican is only such proposition
as could be accomplished by some In.
tiuence stronger than reason. Democ-
racy as a princlpled foe OF the church
in politics is but chimera.
