pecially to the west and to this state.
1t provides a splendid opportunity for
the people of this state to meet the
people Of other states and to exert an
influence in favor of the best develop
ment of national policies which are of
very great Importance to US.
Much depends upon the success OF
the coming session. A widely repre-
sentative and enthusiastic body must
exert a tremendous influence along
lines that will make for the develop
ment of the great Of this
state. 1t is, therefore, extremely de-
sirable that attendance be large and
this state should be represented by d
large delegation.
viii Entertain Delegates.
II am sure you will appreciate the
very great Importance attaching to the
fifteenth session and its possibilities,
and that you will be glad to urge it up

ously and are making great prepare
tions to entertain delegates. They
confidently expect an attendance of
several thousand and they have plan
ned as a feature of the session, an
interstate exposition Of irrigated land
products and forestry Thai will, no
doubt, be the biggest event OF the kind
devoted to irrigation and forestry.
81 trust this matter will engage your
favorable interest and I am sure that
any publicity you may give it in your
columns will be a valuable contribu-
ton to the public welfare"

Secretary Root took the report with
him, and if further action is taken. it
will be by the state department.

THEATRES TODAY.
Mr.. MORRIS RUNNING MATES.

In this campaign a great deal has
been said about the heads of the var
ious tickets. and it is quite true that
they have been the storm centers of
the campaign. But on the Democratic
ticket, in addition to Richard P. Nor
ris, are four gentlemen who are in
every way worthy of the support of
voters of every party. They are can
didates whose private lives are above
reproach and who. in the event of
their election, viii give to their offices
faithful. painstaking and efficient at
tention.
NJ. F. Cunningham, the nominee for
treasurer, is exceptionally we'll quail
fed for the position for which he has
been nominated. Mr. Cunningham has
had a large and varied business expe-
rience. He has lived in Salt Lake City
for many years. and is well known to
the people as citizen OF high charac-
ter and unblemished integrity.
Perley A. Hill. the nominee for re-
CpluClr was DOIH anu reared III InlS
city. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
his thousands of friends are raIlying
TO him because they believe he will re-
fleet credit upon himself and upon them
in any position to which he may aspire.
With the recorders Office in the hands
of Mr.. Hill. the books will be kept in
first-class shape, and there will be no
hint OF anything irregular.
Maxwell r. Brothers, nominee for au-
ditor is another Democrat who should
receive the support, not only of his
own party, but of the voters generally.
Mr.. Brothers possesses all the quail
ficatiOns necessary to the place. He
will devote his time and attention TO
it, and his record will be of the very
best.
Stephen L. Richards for city attor-
ney is a young lawyer who, although
in active practice but a short time,
comparatively speaking, has won his
way TO a high position among the
members of his profession. He has
made careful study of municipal law.
and the eity's interests will be entirely
safe in his hands.
The Herald trusts all the unpreju-
diced voters of Salt Lake City will
vote the Democratic ticket from ton
TO bottom.

THE MENACE OF THE CITADEL

There is something rotten in the land
And every time it's gently famed
A foul, repulSiVe odor blows,
Right underneath the public nose
Is there a man of us so dense,
That it prevails without offense?
An eye so blind but it can read
The hour so pregnant with a need?
In all the sober files of right
An arm too neutralized to fight?
Patience? Patience is a vice.
The hand of fraud would sacrifice
Our boon of peace. The common pulse
Anticipates the dire results,
And throws the public fever Ger
A hundred. Wide with every door,
And out with chaos and the hell
That reigneth I'm the citadel!
Throw up the sash, let in the cheer
And health of q new atmospheric
Let in sudden burst of light
Upon the ruin and the night,
Let in the mornings golden shaft
Upon the vermin-hill of graft,
And see the routed vermin crawl
To some dark crevice in the wall
The worm of greed. of lnsolence
The slow worm of Incompetence
And all their progeny that crawls
With silent ruin through the walls
Let out the old regime of things
And give it back to pagan kings
Let out the pools of stagnant air
And cleanse the precinct with a prayer
And then be careful what befalls
Its one-day unpolluted halls.
What remedy can be applied?
Why! Duty promptly magnified.
This noxious thing must be suppressed
Now, citizens, you know the rest.
THEO. E. CURTIS.
Salt Lake City. Utah.
