THE KIM BALL FAKE.

With face as long as a flour barrel
and a solemnity that fairly oozes sane
timonious apprehension, the Deseret
News says of Solomon KimbaIrs pine
dream:
We hope Mr.. Kimballs story is not
true. Nothing could be more deplor-
able to all parties than another reIi-
gious war, but we firmly believe that
unless the respectable American citi-
zens take the party management in
their own hands and eliminate the SEN
timent of nti-Mormonism. of which
the local leaders are inspired. from
local politics, there will be no peace"

poses, I'VE hope il is not true" do

that the wicked anti-Mormon con-

What sort of puddinghead would
even discuss such twaddIe seriously
and take the trouble to hope it is not
true?"
Imagine the frame of mind that could
connect Solomon's pie delirfum with
grave matters of state when, according

AN uNINTENTIoNAL FAVOR.

Ii is now in order for the Democratic
state committee to pass vote Of
thanks to the Republican Smoot COM
mittee for removing the Taft electors
from the American" party tickets. The
only possible result Of the action will
be the loss OF a good .many votes to
Taft and. corresponding gain for
Bryan from American" Republicans
who would otherwise have cast their
ballots for the Republican presidential
candidate.
The official explanation of the move
is that the Republicans We're averse to
letting the Americans" gain such sup
port in the county as might have come
from having the Taft electors on the
American" ticket. That is to say
the Smoot machine prefers to risk the
loss OF the state for president rather
than have the Americans" carry Salt
Lake county. As a matter of conjec-
ture. based on knowledge of local con-
ditions. the inevitable effect will be to
disgust such American" Republicans
as had intended to vote for Taft; and if
they do not vote for Bryan as many
Of them will. they are certain to refuse
20 support Taft under the circum-
stances.
AS contrasted with this position, the
Democrats. having no part in the fac
tional quarrel of the two Republican
wings. welcome support from every
source. They had already a splendid
chance to carry the state, both for
Bryan and the state and congressional
tickets. headed by Mr. knight and Mr..

THE LABOR VOTE.

The belief of Mr.. Bryan that he is
going to receive nearly the solid vote
of the laboring classes in the United
ton than mere faith. From every
quarter comes news that workingmen
all over the country are determined to
answer the slight put upon them by
the Chicago convention with their bal
lots. That there is general alarm in
the Republican camp in consequence
becomes more apparent each day as the
efforts of Roosevelt, Taft and the other
leaders are put forth in vain edeavOr
to stem the tide.
Mr.. Taft is stumping Ohio this week
endeavoring the square himself for the
injunction issued in 1898. which was
denounced by the chiefs of the great
railway organizations. Mr.. Roosevelt
him at the White House. and the
charge is made that Daniel J. Keefe.
president of the Longshoremen's union,
has been promised the place made va
cant by the death of Sargent in return
for his support of Taft
Further proof that the labor vote Is
going to Bryan is furnished by Walter
Wellman. who uses up two columns of
the Chicago Record Herald in discuss
ing the question. and who finally
comes to the conclusion that the
enormous pluralities received by Roose-
welt four years ago is the only founda-
ton upon which to base hope for the
election OF Mr.. Taft. Mr.. WeIlman
writes from Cleveland. O.. after inter-
viewing wOrkmen in all branches of
trade, and may be presumed to know
whereof he speaks when he says that
there is a distinct trend toward Bryan
In the beginning of his long article in

the labor vote in general show a dis
tinct trend toward the Democratic party
this year? There is no more interesting
question at present In the field of poll
tics: for II is now generally recogniZ I'd
that while the probabilities. broadly
viewed. still favor the election of Judge
Taft over Mr.. Bryan. there are ominous
possibilities of surprise and revolution in
the tendency of the men who work with
their hands to give their support to the
opposition party.
The possibilities are not ''Ominous"
to the laboring men themselves. and
there will be no very great surprise if,
as now seems more than probable. the
labor vote overwhelms the party

LAS RRYAN wALkovER IN UTAH

The acg2 of the Taft electors in fill
ing 1nation. of their nomination
by the fraft-Liberal party" raises the
interesting question as to whether
there. are now any Taft electors in
nomination in Utah who can legally
be oted for. The declination reads as
follows:
Hon c. S. Tingey, Secretary of State:
Having been nominated by certain voters
residing within the state of Utah and af-
filiated under the political name of Taft
Liberal ticket by a certificate of NOM
inatiOn filed in your office Oct. 3. 1908,
for the office of presidential elector. to
vote for president and vice president of
the United States. l hereby notify you
that I decline such nomination by such
voters on said -"Taft-Liberal ticket.
Nothing herein contained. however. shall
be considered as a declination of my NOM
nation for presidential electOr to vote
for president and vice president of the
United States heretofore made by the
| tah Republican state convention on
Sept. -, 1903, which said last named NOM
ination hereby expressly accept
Our statute provides that a person
who has been nominated for public
Office may decline that nomination by
notifying the proper officer in writing.
and IL he does so the nomination be-
comes void. II will be observed that
the declination contemplated refers TO
a refusal TO accept the nomination for
a particular office, not to a refusal to
particular ticket. The Republican
nomination was a nomination of cleo
tors to vote for Taft for president. The
Taft Liberal nomination is a nom
ination to vote for Taft for president.
1t is claimed by some, therefore, that
if the paper filed amounts to anything
at all. it is a declinatiOn of the NOM
nation as electors to vote for Taft for
president. and if this is the case. Taft
has now no electors in nomination in
this state. Notwithstanding the saving
clause of the paper
In Kansas. in 1896. the Democratic
