fore, who did not openly and pEbllcly
state that he repudiated this plank in
his platform, is specifically and un-
aualifGdly instructed and pledged to
vote for a primary law under which
for all offices shall be 1om-
inated-a state wide primary law
The democratic and populist parties
for years have charged that the re-
publican party platforms were made
to hoodwink the people; we have
charged them with insincerity, hypoc-
racy and bad faith: that after election
they repudiated and ignored their plat
forms and promises. Is it possible hat
some of our own leaders differ in party
name only?
The question of whether or not the
present legislature shall enact a state
wide primary law is not even debatable
at this time. The debate was closed
at o'clock p m. on the Sth day of
las. November, when the sovereign
people of this state through the ballot
box instructed every member Of the
legislature who had not repudiated that
part of his platform, to go to Lincoln
and vote for primary bill which
would include candidates for 'all
offices" If the principle of a state
wide primary law is impracticable or
not the members of the legislature
The leaders of our parties who favor
keeping the pledges of the party need
have no fear of primary law; those
who do not believe in the party plat
forms should not masquerade as demo-
Gratis If one plank of the platform
can be repudiatd then all panks can
be ignored Why not have some of our
distinguished leaders come before the
legislature and argue against two
cent passenger fare or against freight
reduction? These planks are certainly
no more binding upon the peoples
chosen representatives than the state
wide primary plank.
Gentlemen of the legislature, the
people of this state have moved the
previous question on the state wide
primary bill. OF this you will take due
notice and govern yourselves accord
ingly. Respectfully, c. M. SKILES.

TO DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS.
Chairman of Democratic State Con-
yention on Primary.

An open letter to the fusion mem
bers of the legislature. 1t is a httle
surprising to not a few of the rank
and file af the democratic and popUllst
parties that the members of the legls-
lature should hold an open meetlng
for the purpose OF debating the
question as to whether or not there
should be enacted a 'state wide pfl-
mary law" But it is still more sur
prising to learn that some of the so"
called leaders of our parties should ap-
near at said meeting and oppose such
legislation.
All agree no doubt, that our govern
ment is a representative government,
that men are elected to the legislature
to make our laws for the reason that
If is inpracticable for all of us to meet
and vote directly for the laws we wish
to go yern us. All. no doubt subscribe
to the doctrine of the majority rule in

Burns of Lancaster said the bill was

prosperity.

Utah's seventh legislature will
adjourn this week after a session
of more than sixty days. AS
there was no election of senator,
interest from the first centered in
legislation, which has occupied
the whole OF the time except that
which has been occupied in visit
ing the state institutions and
few favored sections of the state.
Out of the many bills intro
duced into the legislature the
usual proportion have became
laws, Some of these will GER
tainly prove beneficial while
doubt may properly be expressed
concerning others. The outcome
of the consolidation question
is of course pleasing to the adyo-
Gates of separate maintenance
but very unsatisfactory to those
who believe in unifying the
effort in higher education. The
latter predict that the question
will never be- solved until the
people express their desires in
the matter by ballot.
Altogether the legislature has
done as we'll, perhaps, as was to
be expected. That things were
done or left mdonc displeosing
to any one is no just ground for
criticism. 1t is next to impossi-
bic to please all of the people
with the same measure and is.
therefore not surprising to find

The storm which visited us
Monday and Tuesday seems to
have been pretty general through
out the state. Its effects will
also be far-reaching, and its value
in dollars and cents cannot be
estimated. Snow has been piled
UP in the mountains to an UNI
heard-of depth, and the water
outlook for the coming season is
indeed promising, The ground
is soaked, the streets have drunk
their fill, and we are now ready
for some real spring weather.
Farmers, sheepmen, ana cattle
men are optimistic of the coming
season. The farmer sees pros
poets for a fortune in dry land
farming; the stockmsn looks for
ward to a good summer range
with fat mutton and beef III the
Fall, while the miner is only
waiting for the snow to melt
when he will startlc everyone by
the remarkable mineral veins he
will uncover.
Lehi will share in the era of
