HS party WHlCH CullS lJS6ll AIU6Tl-
can" instituted and propogated as a
weed by ex-senator Kearns, was CIV
en- its death blow last Tuesday. 1t
never was anything but a party of
revenge, graft, bigotry and intoler-
ance and therefore couldn't amount
to much. It's object was to harrass
and coerce the religious sect which
embraces the majority of the people
of this state into re-electing Mr.
Kearns to the United States senate
In that it has utterly failed. To help
carry it along it appealed to the ignoI-
ance and religious prejudices of a
large class of the community and ii
succeeded in deceiving many good
men and women into enlstng under
its banner. The misdeeds of the city
government have aided very material
ly in tearing the mask from its face
and many of its former adherents
have been undeceived. 1t made an
inglorious, yes, even an ignominous
failure in the election last Tuesday
Since Tuesday it has lost half its
voting strength, whicl very largely
consisted of "6oaters" who swim with
the rising tide and like rats abandon
the sinking ship. The rats started
their exit from the Kearns-banner at
8 O'Clock or a little before on Tues
day evening and the procession has
continually been augmented ever
since. The defeat in this county was
not the only big disappointment the
Kearnites sustained. They expected
very substantial support in Weber,
Summit. Tooele, and other outside
counties. but they did not even get a
corporal's guard outside of Salt Lake
City. Weber county gave Wee Daddy
Weir but beggarly handful of votes
and the other alleged strongholds of
Amerikearnsism did no better. Even
Summit, the home of the ex-senator,
and the source of his wealth and al
legged power turned its back upon him
in most decided manner
The Amerikearns party can't stand
because its foundations are rotten. The
Hover OF the Gentiles, the leaders of

they denounce its actions. The re-
publican party today has in this city
over 5000 of the most prominent Gen.
tiles In its ranks. They are there for
principle, not for graft or prejudice,
or intolerance. They are stay
ers. The amerikearns party has
wsged an unjust and an un
holy war on the Mormons and they
are unalterably opposed to it. With
IT'S principles of persecution, revenge
and graft it cannot stand against the
forces opposed to it.
In Idaho it has failed utterly. Du.
bois and its other allies have been
completely routed. 1t has had its lit
tie day, day of disgrace and shame.
1t is as good as dead, and is being
hurried to dishonorable grave.
Republican State Chairman Salisbury
made a gallant fight in the campaign
and won with all the honors of war.
He had splendid aids in Colonel
Squires and B. s. Yousg. They exer-
cised the best of judgment and were
untiring and thorough in their work.
Mr.. Salisbury issued the following adj
dress at the conclusion of his success.
full campaign:
THE recent political contest was the
most memorable one ever waged in
Utah. While there was never a doubt
as to the outcome in the state itself,
as those loyal people have never de-
serted the grand old party in good
or bad weather, nor for a temporary
party, built on an unstable foundation,
there were some who
