along that Mr.. Morris can't possibly
be elected and their game is to hold
enough democrats and draw enough
republicans away from the republican
ticket to allow the americans" to
win. Their scheme is so transparent
that even a child can see through it.
Merchants of this city and people
who live in rented houses think rents
are high enough and they are too
high The Real Estate association is
largely composed of and entirely
ruled by lot of American" party
grafters and "sure thing" men who
live by their wits. They make mon
ey by keeping rents up to the high
est notch. They are fakirs akin to
the leaders of the American" party.
No sooner was the election which
put the American" party in power
over than these real estate fakirs
raised rents all over the city. The
same sharks are working for the sue
cess of the Americans" again to
make another raise. 1t is we'll under
stood among them that in case of
American" success a general adj
vance will be made.
A female canvasser for the "AIneri-
can" party, while registration was un-
der way, called on young clerk on
Main street, he being old enough to
register, but having failed to do so.
His reason, as stated was that once
his name appeared on the list of vot-
ers he would be called on for poll
tax. ooh, we can fix that we'll
enough" said -he canvasser. "You
just go on and register and we will
pay your poll tax if you will agree to
vote our ticket" He didn't agree;
but how does this strike the thinking
citizen as plan of campaign" Let
there be strict watch kept upon the
registration lists and some vigilant
watchers, who cannot be bluffed, at
the polls. There are more than 1000
illegal American" registrations.

porary obliteratiOn OF political lines
involved in the proceeding called fu-
sion. 1t would be so now if it were
a political election ahead of us or po-
ltical issues involving party princi-
| les were features of the campaign.
But such is not the case We are in
a contest which not only justlfies
but in some sense demands that the
better element of our people act to-
gether and for the time being let
tfsir republicansm or democracy, as
the case may be, lie upon the shelf.
This is necessary i'll order that
combination itself composed of no:
only both but all otllsr parties and
embracing the very worst OF each,
whose chief characteristic is swag-
gering and insolent disregard of the
;eorle's rights and an insatiatc greed
for the SOILS may be run down and
banished from the field. This UNI
savory organization is by. no means
in the majority here; II it were our
cause would be hel less without the
aid of rrovidential in,crrosition; but
it is stronger than any otter single
rarity in our midst and relies upon
the Others being divided and acting
separately as they did two years ago,
to win. This of itself is one of the
strongest arguments in favor of the
better classes all getting together.
Salt Lake City has been mismanag-
et and misgoverned long enough.
With the legal limit of indebtedness
, long since passed, those in control,
with a recklessness and disregard of
law that amount to criminality, con-
tinue adding to the volume of debt
by the issuance of warrants which
call for cash, the cash ieself being nil
because of the constant and in
creasing drain to which the hooters
have subjected it. Taxes have been
and are being levied for improve
ments that are not made, the tax rate
is higher than ever before in the
city's history, extravaganza and in
competence characterize most of the
departments, and an army of under
lings whose service in no sense and at
no time corresponds with the
amounts paid them are fastened upon
the overburdened community. This
is bad showing; it is worse than
that-dt is disgraceful; and unless
those responsible for it are beaten at
the polls and banished from the pub
lie stations, it will inevitably be con-
tinued for an Indefinite period.
There are plenty of precedents and
examples for fusion if any were need
ed. There is not large city in the
United States that has not had to re-
sort to it one time or another in some
cases frequently. When a corruption
gang fastens itself upon a community
and becomes entrenched through ia
vors and rewards to the lower and
viler elements, it happens in the

carded for the time being until the
rascals are turned out and the aven-
ues to authority so safely guarded
that they are kept out for a good
while, the performance being repeat
ed as often as necessary.
Yes, all things considered, you may
set this paper down as favoring flu
sion.
The other day as Jake Greenewald
was walking along Second South
street in the proper pursuit of his
business as collector of the port of
Salt Lake he was halted by we'll
known contractor who poured into
Jakc's ear a tale of woe about the
fusion of the republicans and demo-
Gratis on councimanic tickets The
contractor lamented that the fusion
meant the utter and permenent OBJ
Iteration of party lines and renew

mon church fight
Is fusion of the republicans and
democrats to abate a public nuisance
wrong?" asked Jake. Does it mean
a church and anti church fight?
please explain to me what kind of
a coalition exists in the American
party. 1t is fusion of disgrurtled
republicans, democrats, pimps, pros
ttutcs, thieves and thugs for graft.
The cry against fusion of the decent
republicans and democrats is like the
thief yelling stop thief. / was

Then a fellow known as Butch
I.owery Clipped in with lament
about republican and democratic flu
sion and a renewal of the church
quarrel Jake silenced him quickly
with the assertion that he, "Butch's,
vote could be purchased by Jake for
one drink of whiskey. No doubt
where Jake stands when it is a ,,ues-
ton of beating any party that is OPP
posing republcanism. Jake is look
ing for success next year and is max
ing a fight for the principles of the
republican party and not over look
ing the fact that the election ma
chinery is also imperlled.
One of the funniest things of this
campaign is the Herald's treatment
or lack of treatment of the fusion of
the democrats and republicans on the
councilmanic tickets. The fact If the
matter is the masses of the democrat
ic party are heartily in favor of flu
sion. The Herald and few of the

against it. The masses have taken

Local Holiness circles are much inter-

started last night at 11.30 o'clock for Ii
beria, where he will act as one of the

Mr.. Kelly has been an evangelist and

years and fourteen years ago became
allied with the first Los Angeles church
of that denomination. Since that time
he has been one of the most active work.
ers, but has confined his labors to the
home missionary field
Last Wednesday night, at 11:3O o'clock,
Mr.. Kelly says he received a call from
God to go to the distant mission evork in
Liberia and will leave within the week
on, his long journey to the field pointed
out to him.
The same year that Mr.. Kelly came
to Los Angeles f. e. Thompson went to
Liberia, where he established three mis-
sion stations and started scheme to
colonize the natives into groups or viii
iages. Mr.. Thompson died last February
and since that time the work In that
land has been without a head.
1t is to take up the work begun four
teen years ago by Mr.. Thompson that
Mr.. Kelly will travel thousands of miles
to teach the natives the civilization of
the white men and to~teach the doctrines
of Jesus Christ.
Members of the local church are much
interested in the work being carried on
there and Mr.. Kelly has the good wishes
of his many friends on his long journey
and the work which he will take up.

PROSECUTORS PAY
GOES TO COURTS
City Council Approves Demands, but
Auditor Mushet Will Get Judicial
Ruling on Authority to
Issue Warrants

City Attorney Hewitt yesterday declined to
give the city council a formal opinion in regard
to the pay of police court prosecutors, saying
1t was rather late in the day to ask him.
The question was asked by Councilman
Dromgold who declared that he would vote
according to Mr. Hewitt's opinion.
Prosecutor Fleming, one of the city's ap-
pointees, had just made speech saying that
he prepared to represent the city in the
police courts under City Attorney Hewitt S
orders and had done so, but II the pay were
to be held up he wished to know so that he
could appeal to the courts.
Personally he said the position was not as
desirable as the one he had before but he ex-
pected to do his duty and to resign when
called on to do so, provided he was deemed
guilty of not representing the citys interest
properly.
The issue came a motion to approve the
demands for pay OF the prosecutors after Audi
tor Mushet declared that he would hold them
up, regardless of the councils action, and let
the colirts decide.
Councilman Wren took the stand that the
city should not pay the salaries until the
courts had decided the case.
After Mr. Hewitt assured the council that
the vote for approving the demands would not
jeopardize the litigation the council approved
the demands.
The case will probably now go to the courts.

Aneirolo is alleged to have bought from

boys have since confessed to stealing
from freight car.
The boys testified that the defendant
knew the cigars to be stolen when ne
bought them, but Aneirolo, who took the
stand in his own defense, declared that
he had asked the boys If they had stolen
that they had found them.
Attorney Allenger; for the defense,

FINED FOR PRACTICING
MEDICINE WITHOUT LICENSE

M. M. Stephens was tried before Justice
Frederickson yesterday on charge of
practicing medicine without a license. He
was found guilty and sentenced to pay a
fine of 500 or serve 100 days in Jail. This
sentence was suspended during good be-
havior. Stephens is an old man and his
age caused the court to be lenient with
him.
He had been giving massage treatments
in a small way when some of his friends
advised him to open an office. He did
this and put up a sign. He did small
business and is accused of having
branched out little into medicine.
Officers went down to the place pre-
tending to be sick and asked for medi-
cine. He gave them some pills and took
a dollar In payment The officers arrest
ed him and took him to the station.

| In suit for 100000 damages begun yester-
day in the superior court L. r. Garrett Is also
seeking vindication of serious charges, which
he claims were made against him by the di-
rectors of the Inglewood Water company.
| Garrett was the chief promoter of the COM
pany when 1t was organized In 1902, and was
largely instrumental in negotiating the pur-
chase of the Sausal Redondo and Centinela
ranches from Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Freeman.
| After the transfer of the property to the COM
pahy, Garrett was charged with inserting an
additional clause in the papers which they
did not contain when signed by the Free
mans.
Just who would benefit by the extra clause
| is not quite clear, nevertheless Garrett, when
| confronted with the evidence and threatened
with legal proceedings. accepted the PROPOSE
| ton of the directors and surrendered his 1854
shares of the water companys stock and in
addition was to have paid 100000 for immunity
| from prosecution.
| Not satisfied with the condition of things,
Garrett applied to Judge Monroe for an in
| junction restraining the directors from carry
| ing out the terms of the agreement.
The injunction was granted, to remain In
force until the present suit is disposed of.
Besides the S100. 900 damages Garrett sues for
the return of his 1854 shares of stock and also
seeks to have the agreement Cancelled whereby
he was to have paid the extra $4,000.

Lengthy discussion marked the effort by Los

mel adjoining by the property o owners; co ,o,or.

allowed to die. .
influential men yesterday asked the council
to take notice Of the wants of the people In
the northwest who clamoring for tunnel
there. If for no other reason than that 1t VIII
give them direct quick car line across Hill
street to Sunset boulevard and out TO Holly
wood they wanted the tunnel built. But there
were other reasons, speakers said Hill stree,
was becoming a leading thoroughfare, the hill
at First street making sort OF pocket.
| with brilliantly lighted tunnel it would send
| traffic up and down there instead of divertine

taxes.
One property owner whose interests seemed
| jeopardized sent Herbert Goudge, his counsel
| to protest against the ordinance In its present
form, as for thing, it would cut off part
| of his sidewalk Railroad attorneys present
| stated that property owners would have Jus

Former Judge Stephens said he as one prop
erty owner would be willing to pay his pro-
portion of taxes II necessary to pay for the
entire tunnel. so eager was he to open up this
northwest section.
Judge John Pope, for the railroad, said all
public enterprises met with some opposition,
greatest number should ne considered.
Several of the councilmen asked questions,
all seeking views complimentary to the pro-
iect

Hewitt examine the legal features of the
ordinance in order to conserve the city.s In IN
