CRUCES WINNING CAMPAIGN

Perhaps the most unusual accom-
plishmcnt Of the campaign Nr COVER
nor the past week has been the re-
buke given candidates who indulge in
mud.throwing in order to secure a
prominence in the political arena.
Newspapers Of the state, both large
and small are demanding that the
party be placed above the candidate
rhcy scent danger in the final out
come II party dissension is furthercd
by methods employed as in the past
few weeks.
Hon, Lee Crucc, candidate for gov
crnor. is being given credit for turn
ing the tide Of public sentiment
against such practices.
His remarkable self restraint has 50
far been the wonder Of the campaign.
Dripping with mud spattereh upon
him by rival candidates, he has faced
the people and frankly met every
charge hurled against him There ne
stops. He dOcs MT rctaliatc by mdE.

Wherever Mr. Cruce has spoken he
has been assured Of hundreds Of con.
verts simply because of his manly,
outspeKen and frank statement. lie
has nothing to hide. He takes up
the charges hurled against him and
proves to the satisfaction OF .vc-y
honest hoaror that he has been fodlly
dealt with.

had the right to say who should Ice
the nominee: that no three mon and
no two candidates could cousplre to
defeat the democratic theory Of fair
play as outlined in the general pri-
mary election law. This was strong
statement that made men think.

These developments of the cam

The most desperate methods yet

II appears as II the opposition IL be

does not include the tunnels, of which
there are three, one each in the Silver

These will not be, finished until some
time later. but q'shoohys" Will be
built around them temporarily. so that

STREET CAR SUGGESTIONS.
Salt Lake Railroad Mans Views on
the Problem

While the improved service inaugu-
rated by the street car company is ap-
preciated railroad man, discussing
the system with Tribune representa-
tive Friday. made some suggestions
which are worth the consid Grafton of
the management He believed that the
new schedule could be further improved
by running a car, say every twenty
minutes, directly through on the Sec
ond South street line, thus accommo-
dating railroad passengers who have
children with them, by saving the
transfer at Second South and Main
streets. Passengers who have children
under their care would prefer to re-
main at the depot. where 1t is warm
and comfortable for n through car, in
stead of at Second South, where all is
hurry and hustle
1t is also suggested that a Waterloo
car could be run direct from the Short
Line depot aud this also would great
ly convenience railroad passengers.
The Tribune's informant also stated
that the congestion at the corner of
Second South and Main might be con-
slderab bly, relieved by continuing the
run of the cars to the Rio Grande de-
pot down TO Third South and thence to
the station. instead of Second South,
aud bringing the Warm Springs cars
south on West Temple to Third South,
and thence to Main street.
