The Nomination OF Mr.. Morris.

True republicanism in West Vlr-
ginia is well typitied in the nomina-
ton on the Scherr republican ticket
of one of the grand old men" of
the republican party for the office
of state auditor, adverted to in
these columns yesterday. The tick
ct and its patriotic partisans are to
be congratulated in the premises.
Mr.. Morris, himself, in accepting
the nomination, has signallzed again
the high order of his devotion to
principle, as distinguished from
self. and the noble quality of self
sacrifice which brought about re-
publican success in West Virginia
In the beginning aud the only thing
which will save the party finally.
The Honorable Presley w. Morris
belongs to the old guard of West
Virginia republicanism and was Co
temporary with that indomitable
band of republican leaders, who, tif-
teen, twenty, thirty years ago gal
Ianty fought the good fight, in sea-
son and out of season which laid
deep and broad the splendid founda-
tons upon which after republican
success was constructed. And now
when the vandals and the vampires
from within have laid their devas-
tating hands upon the temple of re-
publicanism, 1T is encouraging and
inspiring when the men of that same
old guard come to the front TO save
that which they founded.
The quality of sacrifice referred to
may be applied to Senator Morris
in that as daily newspaper editor
and manager, having his hands full
OF the onerous and exactlng duties
which go with that work, active,
personal participation in the cam.
paign as a candidate for an import.
ent state office carries with it addi-
tional burdens, and little compensa.
tion when the chances of election
are more or less intangible.
or course, the Swisher maraud
ers pretend to claim "they will
win" but echo answers to mock
them, and the people but Laugh.
The Scberr managers realize the
situation "a it u, know they are
lighting for principle, for the saliva.
ton OF the party. And yet, in the
very essence Of that kind of q fight,
there is always the chance, the ele.
ment OF success. The people are
all powerful, the steam roller cannot
crush their ballots, and as LaFoI.
lette won in Wisconsin under con.
/ ditIons similar TO those existing in
West Virginia, 1t Is safe TO say at
least that If any republican state
ticket is elected IN West Virginia
this year, 1t will be the ticket which
has on it the tribunes of the people.

NEED NOT GALL ON REGISTRAR
ATTORNEY General Gives Opinion On
New Election Law.

Attorney General VIM. @. Con-
ley has given the following written
opinion in regard to the duties of
registrars as provided In the new
law:
Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 30, 'OS
i have carefully examined the
new registration law, chapter 10,
acts of the Legislature, 1908 extroar-
binary session, and find no provision
therein requiring the voter to APP.
pear in person before the registrar
In order to have his name listed as
a voter. arm, therefore, of the
opinion that any application made
to the registrar that will satisfy
such registrar that the voter is leg
ally qualified voter of his precinct,
ought to be sufficient; but in tie
event there is objection to the reg
lsterlng OF any voter aud there is
any doubt in the minds of the
registrars as to the qualification of
the voter, | am of the opinion it
would be wise to thoroughly exam
inc the voter, asking all questions
required in SAID chapter.
Very truly yours,
WIN. O.. CONLEY,
Attorney General.

SECRETARY STRAUs, Of the de.
partment of commerce and labor,
recently said 'Politicians should
not temporize with the will of the
people. The leaders should learn
the will of the people and then
properly represent their views"
The Secretary is correct and If
the republican leaders in West
Virginia had learned the will of
the people they would have ordered
a fair state convention, free from
committee domination. If this
had been the case the party today
would be united.

Indictment Against Him for
Robbery of Utah National
Bank to Be NOlIed.
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
WILL MAKE THIS MOTION
Case Now Said TO Be One Of
Grand Larceny, Where Uncle
Sam Is Barred.

The federal grand jury indictment
against Andrew w Nelson, charging
the young man with robbery of the
Utah National bank, is to be dis
missed. The amount alleged TO have
been stolen is S106,250, and the rob
berry is one of the most mysterious
that has ever occurred in the country.
The robbery was discovered in
January of tho present year, but it
was not made public until some timo
later. As soon as tho discovery was
made. one of the biggest detective
agencies in the United States was re-
tanned, and representatives of the
agency worked here for some time IN
Federal Grand Jury.
AS to Just what the representatives.
of the agency did, or did not, do, will
probably never be known, but, after
the interest had died out to some ex-
matter up and made searching in
quiry. The result was tho indictment
of Andrew W. Nelson, manager Of a
bank at Bingham Junction, and
nephew of Joseph Nelson, who was
cashier of the Utah National bank at
the time of the gigantic robbery.
Young Nelson was Immediately ar.
rested, but was promptly released on
bond.
Now comes the sequel to tho pro
ceedings Young Nelson was indicted
under provision OF the United States
statutes, making it a misdemeanor,
punishable by imprisonment for a
period of ten years (maXimum) for
any officer, agent, employee or servant
of a United States depositary to alb
stract or embezzlo funds OF the ipstl-
tuition.
Ruling Of Bonaparte.
After the indictment of young Mel
son, it now appears, question was
matter was passed up TO Charles j.
Bonaparte, attorpey-General of the
United States. That official. from
whose Judgment in the matter there is
no appeal, promptly ruled that young
Nelson, as the facts abundantly
showed, was not an officer, employee
or servant of the Utah National bank,
and that he could not be legally in
dicted under the laws of tho United
States, attempted 10 be made apple
able TO the case.
The holding of the attorney. general,
in brief, is understood to be that Mel
son, If he is guilty of any offense, is
guilty of grand larceny, aud that this
matter is one for the state authorities
to deal with, and is entirely outside the
province of the federal government.
Subsequent Action,
OF course, as to what subsequent ac-
tion, if any, may be taken by the state
authorities is unknown at this time
Col \. B. Irvine, chief counsel for
Nelson, when asked for statement
Monday evening, said that he did not
desire TO discuss the matter, but, upon
being pressed, said: u do not desire
to discuss the pending dismissal of the
indictment, but l will say that Mr.
Nelson is ready to face the charge,
and that he will insist upon an i'm
mediate hearing, with the utmost con-
fdcnee of his vindication before a
jury"
The Indictment returned by the fed
eral grand jury, it is understood, will
be dismissed on motion Of District At.
torney Booth within the next few days.

ANOTHER PURCHASE
MADE BY {. D. SWAN
WelI-KnOwn Capitalist Gets in
on East Third South
Street.

Details of tho sale of the second
piece of business property purchased by
Z. D. Swan within week were con-
Guided Monday, late in the afternoon.
Tho property includes tract at 156
East Third South, on the south side of
the street, between State street and
Second East. nearly opposite the Mani.
tou hotel. The property has n frontage
Of twenty.nIne feet on East Third
South and extends back l65 feet An
old two story brick house is located on
the property, and ii is probable that
Mr.. Swan will remodel the building and
improve the property in other ways,
The transaction, which was consum.
mated through the Peterson Real Estate
and Investment company, involved the
sum OF $11 900. The property was for
merly owned by VI. II. Walker and T.
). Bascom.
Mr. Swan purchased property az the
corner of State street and Fifth South
last week FOR investment purposes.
These two sales are regarded as only
the beginning OF number of sales of
property in that neighborhood and indl-
cate something of the trend of business
southwark. Most of the property along
Third South, except the south side Of
the street between State and Second
East. and portion OF the property be-
tween Main and West Temple, has been
improved. and tho recent purchase may
be taken as a fair indication of the
movement 10 bring tho remainder of
the street within the business district.

At the meeting Of the board of di'
Tectors OF the Utah State Fair associa,

day evening, the report of the treasurer
on the results Of the last exhibition of
the society was presented for consider
alton and showed that the net proceeds
for the fair of 1905 was $3541.23, which,
in view of tho great number of i'm"
provements mado this year in the
grounds, including the erection of addi-
tionaI seats in the grand stands, the
building of q handsome structure tor
the use of the art exhibits, and other
things which have proved Of consider
able advantage to the managers, is con-
gidered an excellent showing.
Standing of Association
Something of the standing which the
Utah State Fair association occupies in
the intermountain country was shown
by the letter received from the officers
OF the Idaho State Fair association at
Boise. asking when tho state far OF
1909 would be held and suggesting that
in order TO avoid conflict in dates be-
tween the two exhibitions the matter
be considered whereby the Idaho fair
could be held during the first. week of

date of the fair IN Salt Lake City is
determined by the holding of the fall
conference Of the Mormon church, since
that event attracts a large number of
visitors 10 this city, IL was practically
impossible to change the date of the
next exhibit of the Utah fair. which has
been set for October 40 1909,

Arrangements have now been made
for Horace Ensign, secretary of the

Association of Fairs and EyposiJions at
Chicago, December 3. At this meeting,
which is to be held at the Auditorium
hotel, many matters connected with the
